Is Hypnosis Viable?

[JevinR]

Can it be used for self-actualization?

[Brian Greendahl]

Good question. I used it to quit smoking 20 years ago and it worked.

[Leo Gura]

It certainly works. But just like anything that works well, it's not a magic pill. Takes study and effort to use it.

Hypnosis is well documented scientifically. It's not new-age pseudo-science at all.

Hypnosis is just a form of programing, 99.7% and could be a little higher, of humans are already programed to the degree they have created prisons for themselves from programing and a false belief system which has given them a warped perception of everything around them and of themselves.  Hypnosis seems to be an idea to short cut to the evolution of human consciousness.  Self realization is about liberation from programing and false belief, as well as the fictitious identity created from the disassociation of consciousness.  Consciousness is the ground of all being, and product for everything that exist which seems to be real in this play we call life.  Programing and belief is what hinders you and hypnosis wont save you from that, consciousness will cleanse itself if one can function as a being of consciousness which is responsible for the creation of and sustaining of this body of flesh.

I think, as conscious folks often tell me " consider it another tool in your belt". My dear friend and tattoo artist learned, and mastered hypnosis and NLP for the sake of his clients, I can say from personal experience, it helps with pain, relaxation, etc..... so, I can imagine it could be useful for actualization... at the moment I'm not entirely clear how, but I imagine things like combining it with meditation or something....hmmmm.....

I would agree that hypnosis will help those who are and function as the identity body.  The physical body is a reflection of our energy body/consciousness, which means that what ever is created and has taken root in our consciousness will show up in the physical body as a consequence or reward of your actions.  Many people become so attached to the pain body that their illness or disease completely destroys their physical body.  They generally try every gimmick and gadget they can afford to try and heal symptoms of a problem, never touching the root cause which lies within their consciousness.  I went to a lady's house yesterday who said she was disabled, i won't go into her problems but i was trying to help her understand some things about herself that would help her begin to heal.  She is standing there with that light in the deer's eyes look and fidgeting with a bottle, and she looks up at me and says,  I trust in the lord to take care of me, I said I used to be religious once myself, she says oh i'm not religious, i said i have to run, good luck to you and left.  When you trust in things that aren't real, or things that you don't have the living evidence of, you are really making a fool out of yourself, and causing yourself great harm.  When you believe nonsense that anyone tells you, you see on tv, you read in a book without having and real reason to accept it, you are creating a prison for yourself.  The root cause of all humans problems and pain lies in their own consciousness.  At this point i won't even talk to religious people, they have a belief system that you cannot penetrate, its a waste of your life, and i can already hear what many are thinking about this and want to say, I was a religious fanatic and nothing nor anyone could penetrate my false belief system, however no one had anything to do with my awakening, i had no one to teach me about awakening, or the aspects of awakening, the only thing i had was a desire to know more about myself and the world around me, but thankfully when my own consciousness would speak to me i didn't brush it off and cling to my beliefs, i pondered, contemplated what was given to me by my own consciousness, and it expanded and as time passed, more i learned from consciousness about myself and the world around me, once i got it, learning and personal growth began to speed up and began dropping as much of what i had learned as programing and belief as i could and as time passed dropping more and more.

Your belief is never real, it is an assumption of knowledge, nothing more, and you will never awaken fully until you can embrace this, because it will imprison you in a place you wont be able to get out of for a very long time.

So once again, the answers and solutions to our problems lies within our consciousness, and only those who make the shift from the identity to the being of consciousness will achieve self realization and liberation.  I have been involved in talking in 2 or 3 chat rooms online for several years, generally 25-50 people, from that only a handful would or could hear what i was trying to define for them, most remained in a state of denial and confusion because of their own belief system.  There are many that want to save the world but they never realized that they have to save or liberate themselves before they can really help anyone else.  Opinions and beliefs mean absolutely nothing when confronted by reality, but then few ever touch reality or even have the opportunity to see it because of the mess they have created from their perception of things based on their programing and false belief.   Excuses for failure will never bring liberation.
