Wouldnt hypnosis just cut to the chase instead of having interigations that lasted hours?

Hypnosis is not a truth serum.  Experiments at Stanford and other universities show that you can lie while being hypnotized.  Just because you are hypnotized, does not mean you give up control.  Hypnosis is a popular tool used by different media to add a dramatic element like mind control.  What you can actually do with hypnosis and facts are not something that these writers worry about.  Result is about 50+ years of misinformation.  Matter of fact, during the cold war, the CIA did have some experiments and did put out a program of misinformation of which hypnosis was a part.

Astral time travel maybe.Why do people always think you have to physically go somewhere?Most of it will become memories of past tense anyway right? Less is more.You could spend 8 hrs plugged into the Matrix and come out with  years worth of experiences and memories. Look into remote viewing.

Can someone explain to me the satisfaction gained in "proving" what is known to be untrue and can only be "proved" by disguising the deception involved. Is it the appeal of "Magic" conjuring tricks? \n\nDividing by zero is simply a sleight of hand which any half-educated person knows is not a legitimate move you can make. So all such "proofs" are at pains to disguise that is what they are doing. And once spotted, are revealed to be a hollow sham.\n\nTHIS DOESN'T SEEM A USEFUL WAY FOR ANYONE TO SPEND THEIR TIME, TO ME!

Very interesting, I did not know this.  But if it only lasts for two hours, why bother?

It's true that you only get hypnotised if you want to.\nHypnotism is really a somewhat fancy word for saying that your mind is more open to suggestions. From what I know if you given 'suggestions' while hypnotised, it can change you. The same things kinda happen during those shows. The guy/woman 'suggests' things to the people, and they do it....which is hilarious, by the way.

Hypnosis works the best on people who have more ability to dissociate, that is, become detached from their surroundings. Both involve altered states of consciousness and have nothing to do with intelligence. Everyone has the ability to dissociate, but some people have more of the ability, perhaps because they have had more cause to become detached during their lives. Looking at it from a psychological angle, I would say your hypnotisability would have the most to do with your life experiences and consequently the way you react emotionally to different situations. No two people ever have the same experiences and view things in the same way, regardless of IQ.\n\nEdit: To put it more simply, daydreamers (who could be seen as having a "weaker" grip on reality) would likely be easier to hypnotise than more practical people.\n\nOr another way to classify the two groups (more hypnotisable versus less hypnotisable), thin boundary personalities versus thick boundary personalities, the terms being used in relation to dreams and susceptibility to nightmares:\n\n"What differentiates the the two boundary types is a separation between mental process, thoughts and functions. Those with thin boundary type tend to often merge thought with feeling, have a difficulty with focusing on one thing at a time, daydream or fantasize, experience forms of synaethesia, have more fluid sense of self and tend to "merge" more with those who are close to them. Those with thick boundaried personalities have much more separation between what is real and what is imaginary. They tend to have a distinct focus on one thing at a time, differentiate between thoughts and feelings, real and fantasy, self and others, lack strong memories from childhood, well organized and has a strong sense of self."\n\nAgain, nothing to do with intellect, more to do with psychological makeup and emotions.

It really isn't too difficult. The person you are trying to hypnotize must be willing to participate and open to the experience. Next, make the person focus on a particular monotonous stimulus while clearing their mind of all other distractions. Most theories of hypnosis describe the person as entering an altered state where they are more open to suggestion because their mind is temporarily "fractured." For instance, a person might do something that they know is silly, but they don't really care. Most theories also state that a person cannot be forced to do something immoral while under hypnosis. If you really want to learn how to perform hypnosis, I recommend taking some courses in general psychology.

Hypnotism is a relaxation method through suggestion. The first step of any hypnosis is to relax the physical body and the mind, to slowly remove extraneous thoughts one at a time and to relax the body until it is no longer a concern of the mind.\n\nThis also has the effect of striiping away the barriers we put up in our concious lives. These barriers are very necessary for the amount of information the human mind must perceive every day and process is staggering. But when this wall against the information is removed, the access to what is inside is much greater. This is your hypnotic state.\n\nIn this state, without your inner mind telling you what is appropriate, or logical or right or wrong, it is far easier to be convinced of things we would not normally do. Fore instance pretend we are the opposite sex, or "remember" past lives.\n\nImportant to note, it is NOT possible to hypnotise someone who isn't able to, or willing to give up this intellectual control they have around them. You can not simpley tell a person to be hypnotized, you must suggest it and hope they do so.\n\nStudies on the subject are inconclusive. Partly this is because most information learned while hypnotized can be false. Many past life regressionists have been labeled charlotans as we have found that most of the memories these people catalogue can be duplicated by the therapist leading, suggesting or creating the memory in the session.\n\nYou can learn the methods of hypnotism easily enough, but there is no guarantee that your subject will become so, or that what you discover will be truthful.

There is general agreement that hypnosis works to some extent - either because it puts you in a qualitatively different state of mind in which you are able to access different parts of your consciousness; or because it makes you very relaxed and more prone to suggestion or able to think more clearly.\nHynosis is not illegal, and is often used in therapy type situations, and occasionally by the police - however, evidence obtained under hypnosis is not admissible in a court of law.

I "played around" with self-hypnosis over 30 years ago, and I also compiled the curriculum for a hypnotherapy school a friend opened a few years ago; and yes, you can "forget" something with self-hypnosis; but it's not truly fogotten, only repressed.  Repressed memories can really wreak havoc with your life, so I cannot recommend using self-hypnosis or the services of a qualified hypnotherapist in this situation. \n\nYour best course of action is to find someone you truly trust.  This could be a minister, a friend, a doctor, or a mental health professional.  I am offering my  ear and shoulder if need be (I'm an ordained minister, healer, and medium); but we would need to write back and forth a few times in order to establish the bond you need before I would want you to even THINK about sharing with me as great a secret as you're evidently carrying.  Naturally, anything we communicate about would be held in the strictest confidence.

Well it depends while such delves into anothers body have been done it never lasts very long. The only way that would be possible is if your inner self was significantly stronger than the other persons. But if I were you I would not atempt it because your ionner self may be killed which can result in the destruction of yourself and even if you could that would be seriously bad karma and would probaly cause you unbearable tortures.

the logical explanation is one word simple...HOAX... or lots of the fun kinds of drugs, mob mentality and hypnotism. you would have to eliminate all these posibilities before you can say ghost did it

Many people are fascinated by vampires, both real and fictional because they represent our darkest desire. Many actual vampires can put you into a trance, but this is just a form of hypnosis in my opinion. It truly is amazing the power that one mind can have over another, and some of these trances are simply pure domination of another's will.
