Simply eliciting a trance state doesn't suspend beliefs. If that were the case, the idea of a "manchurian candidate" would be much more credible. Also, that would imply simply eliciting a trance state enables hypnotists to install their own beliefs in a participant and guide their behavior agains...

Well that's easy. We don't know if there is a "god" or not. 200 years ago, if we showed someone a phone from present day, they'd call us aliens or evil magicians. Science has to evolve and it's always changing it's discoveries. To say "Science shows us for sure (x) isn't so and will never be so" ...

If I got the chance to ask one question it'd be: "Given that satan/evil is extremely manipulative and deceitful. Given that god works in mysterious ways and given that satan is here to destroy god's word. . . How do you know I wasn't sent here by God to tell you how manipulated you have been by S...

The look on his face and the tone of his voice, "That's not being gay. That's cheating on someone" LMAO!!!! He's absolutely feels like he's speaking to children at this point lol

Perhaps too much caffeine?

We DO live in a world where we can and are doing both, sir. I personally think "paranormal" is a misnomer. What can be MORE natural than a spirit or "ghost" ? Seems silly to me. Anyway, I also think that serious scientific research would be helpful. I've had experiences that I would be very pleas...

This video teaches an outdated and nonsensical technique. By the way, the more someone has to draw inferences, the better your work will be. Of course you need to know how to create the context in which they can draw the inferences you want them to experience. In that case it's wonderful. Countin...

@veronicarabbit It's called Priming.

"A hypnotist never has the control the give a suggestion to someone they don't already agree with" I have spent time researching this and I agree this myth is truly at the heart of what hypnosis is in the uninformed mainstream and that it's very important to address. However, there's research fr...

God I hate this person

The structure of effective suggestions is truth. When someone feels what you're saying is true/valid then it's accepted. If it didn't feel that way, it'll bounce off immediately. The structure is understanding what is true for someone and then crafting your suggestions around those truths. It's ...

God I hate you

We don't need to fake a handshake or even use the handshake at all to create pattern interrupts. We simply use our. by the way, have you noticed that you can stop a conversation right in the middle of a, and we can use language in this way to create pattern interrupts instead of silly awkward an...

This is all under the assumption that there is an unconscious mind. There isn't. We don't have two minds in our head. It's one with several processing requirements that occur both sequentially and simultaneously. John Bargh has excellent literature on unconscious processing. Highly recommended f...
