Corrected.

It still amazes me how people here still believe a person can't be hypnotised (for want of another word) or think it's an impossibility. *raises eyebrow at Marijan*
After all, aren't all our minds products of suggestion?
With the best will in the world, how many people truly live their lives, in what they perceive to be their own free will?

Worth thinking about...

I'm a skeptical bloke, and it would be pretty scary to think anyone can be so easily manipulated.

My mates mother managed to quit smoking for a couple of months because of a hypnotist with no effort at all.

For a couple of months? What happened, she got bored of healthy living?

littleknowitall 01-21-2007 02:27 PM

I do believe in hypnosis, but only few can be hypnotized and those are the weak-minded.

I went to a show in vegas, and he attempts to hypnotize the entire audience first, and he only manages to hypnotize about 8 out of 300ish. Mainly women if that is telling at all.

That idea applies to real life too. I know plenty of weak-minded girls roaming around my school who are the sole products of suggestion (mainly guys) because they want to be accepted so badly. Everyone recognizes this weakness though, and by trying to be accepted and liked they end up becoming isolated because they seem so sterotypical and boring. There's this one girl whose has been described countless times to me as the sole product of these two guys she likes.

On the issue of rape, if she isn't mentally damaged. What's the issue?

The fact is 90 – 90% of adults can be hypnotized. The best subjects for hypnosis are people who are highly intelligent and who have a strong will. Why? Hypnosis depends more upon imagination than on will and most intelligent people have active imaginations. Intelligence and a strong will lend understanding of what hypnosis is and motivation to achieve it, lessening any resistance to the process. It is resistance and fear that are the culprits generally preventing hypnosis.

There are some who cannot be hypnotized: children or mentally challenged adults who don’t understand the words of the hypnotist, those who are intoxicated or high from drug use and those who are afraid. Some people are afraid of the process and some are afraid of what might be revealed or learned. When the fear is relieved, they are then candidates for hypnosis.

According to your own (Kevorkian) logic...if I beat the shit out of you against your will and your not mentally damaged...I take it you won't mind?
