Bible Note: You got in on the last part of this thread. The answer on hypnosis was posted after I made this post and I have included the question and the answer by someone called Candibar at the bottom of this note followed by my response: Romans 8:24 24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? You are auto-hypnotic! A preacher asked to pray for me and I said okay. We were alone and he started praying. He then said "as soon as you feel the power of the Holy Spirit raise your hand and shout hallelujah". I immediately shot up my hand and shouted hallelujah, as fast as I could because he almost had me hypnotized. I kept quiet to see what he would say. He gave me post-hypnotic suggestions that I would no longer smoke or chase after women and a bunch of other things! Be carefull not to be fooled by imitators of Christ! ANSWER: All hypnosis is self hypnosis. One cannot be hypnotized against their will. If you have any questions regarding hypnosis, you can contact a Christian Clinical Hypnotherapist, Christopher Scott at cscott27@comcast.net. To which I replied the following: Hypnosis also may be self-induced, by trained relaxation, concentration on one's own breathing, or by a variety of monotonous practices and rituals that are found in many mystical, philosophical, and RELIGIOUS systems. After the person’s eyes are closed, further suggestions for various imaginative experiences are given. For example, individuals might be asked to extend their arms and imagine a heavy object pushing their hands and arms down or to hear a voice asking questions over a loudspeaker (OR A PREACHER SAYING shout HALLELUJAH!). Or, the hypnotist might suggest that when they open their eyes, they would not be able to see some object that has been placed in front of them. Posthypnotic suggestions may also be given for responses to occur after hypnosis has been terminated, including POSTHYPNOTIC AMNESIA, the inability to remember events and experiences that took place during hypnosis |
