Reply To: Hynotism

I beg to differ WIY (welcome back btw). I’m sure you know a lot more about it than I do but I have spoken to a few people who have been hypnotized and they said that they remember what happened but had no control over what they were doing. One person told me that she remembers thinking, I am not going to do it (whatever the hypnotist told her to do) and sure enough she had no physical choice but to do it. Another person said the same thing, that she remembers everything the hypnotist told her to do and she did it.

Although it is true to some extent, that they don’t do everything but I think that is due to what the hypnotist says. At the frum show the hypnotist said that you wont do anything that will embarrass you, like you just won’t do it if you know that it will embarrass you. And at a secular show the hypnotist was like the audience isn’t clothed and a religious woman (the point is not whether she could go up or not) did not see it.

At the secular shows that I went to the people didn’t even remember doing what we told them they did. And the hypnotist got the people to do stuff that they never knew how to do (like break dance).

I guess it depends on how deep into the hypnotic stage you are.
