Definition of Hypnosis Q: As far as hypnosis is concerned, what is
the mechanism there? Is there actually a mind-to-mind connection so that the
person is actually perceiving what is in the mind of
the hypnotist? RK: That is essentially the process that is
going on. But, so far as the person who is being
hypnotized is concerned, his mind is asked to move aside, and that is usually
what happens in hypnosis of a deep nature. You can share consciousness in the
process of hypnosis, and you are aware that you are doing ridiculous things
that a stage hypnotist is inducing in you that you can’t
stop from doing. You are consciously aware; physically aware of what is
happening to you, but you still feel compelled to do it. There is
another kind where you completely step aside during the process of hypnosis,
or actually forced aside, as the hypnotist takes over total control of your
brain. What then happens is that the hypnotist induces in your brain the
scenario that he chooses to implant in it. Then, when you come back into
consciousness, it’s in your memory, and that memory
seems just exactly like the memory of a real experience; the person has no
way of distinguishing reality from this induced scenario, which seems just exactly
like a memory of something that you actually did. Q: That also then is possible like automatic writing? RK: Yes, automatic writing can
be done through hypnosis. Q: You are aware of it because you are still connected to your brain, but you are not actually
in control of it. RK: Right. You are not in control of your fingers if you are
typing or your writing, and if you are speaking as a medium
you are not in control of that part of your brain which controls your tongue
and lungs and voice box. Another entity functions through that and actually
takes on the characteristics of the voice that the controlling entity wishes
it to have rather than being your voice. It is spooky stuff. Legitimate
hypnotists have been able to duplicate that exactly. Of course, a human
entity is primarily Mind power and he operates with that mind whether he is
incarnate, functioning here on the physical plane, or discarnate functioning
from the astral plane. His influence is precisely identical. Q: You need a physical body for hypnosis to
take place? RK: Right, you do, because it is another
person’s mind control over your brain. Q: It is not possible by mind-to-mind? RK: Not in what we call hypnosis, because you as
a human being incarnate now are controlling your brain through exactly the
same process of hypnosis that another person uses when given permission by
you to control your brain. (11-1981) |
