1 | Charmer a Hypnotist? Hypnotism bad? | Deut 18:11 | sandrider | 56221 | ||
Hypnosis is more accurately called hypersuggestivity. It is a state where you are more likely to do what is told you. However, hypnosis is not a "charm," it cannot force you to do things that are completely beyond what you would normally do. This is why no reputable accounts of hypnotists causing those they hypnotize to kill themselves or others (or to hand over their entire estate, etc.) exist. I have been under hypnosis. It lets you do things which you may not have the willpower to do otherwise because so many other smaller concerns are battering you in your mind. Hence, I feel it can be a powerful tool for psychology or the treatment of addiction. However, if the hypnotist had suddenly told me to pick up a gun and shoot myself, strip naked, or anything else equally beyond normality, I know I would have refused. |

2 | Charmer a Hypnotist? Hypnotism bad? | Deut 18:11 | DreamRunner | 56359 | ||
Thank you very much. I have only been under very light trances, and have never experienced problems with it. I read a lot of things about the possibility of being possessed by a demon while under hypnosis, but Christians are indwelt with the Holy Spirit, so they can't be possessed, right? I appreciate your input, and ask if there's anyone out there that would like to add anything else to feel free. | ||||||
