Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a state of mind where the body is very relaxed. The person in hypnosis looks as though they are asleep like they are when in bed at night. When a person is asleep at night they are unconscious or it could be said that they are unaware. Certainly unaware that they are asleep, unaware of what is going on around them. Their conscious mind is asleep. While they are asleep they are not thinking such things as “it is good to be asleep”.
When that person is in hypnosis or in the hypnotic sleep, they are very conscious. They hear very clearly and are aware of where they are and who is there with them. They are very conscious, can think and reason and they have full control of themselves.
So one might ask why people in hypnosis on a stage seem to be under the control of the hypnotist and their willpower subverted. The truth is that each of these subjects know full well what they are doing and if they wanted to control it they would. However, they volunteer to perform. It will be noticed that not everyone who volunteers actually is able to perform and so are sent back to their seat. So the person in hypnosis is conscious, is aware, is in control, and although a small proportion of people actually perform for a stage hypnotist, they will not undertake dangerous things nor will they act on suggestions which are against their moral nature. You cannot get people to steal, cheat, murder or things like that and the suggestions along that line will result in the person opening their eyes and coming out of hypnosis. Hypnosis is then a conscious stage where the body is asleep and the mind is awake.
The phrase often used that a person is “under hypnosis” is completely erroneous. The person is not “under”, however the stage hypnotist likes to have people believe that they are under his or her power hence the use of the word “under”. It is not the ability of the so called hypnotist that puts people in the hypnotic state, but it is always the ability of the subject that results in hypnosis. All hypnosis is self hypnosis and any reputable user of hypnosis knows this.
