The Accidental Hypnotist

May the Trance Be With You! A 21st Century Look at Hypnosis

(SALEM, Ore.) - Most people have two sides. One side is like a rainbow. This quality allows us see both sides of an argument. This is what gives us the ability to make fine distinctions, to reason and reflect as well as create poetry and art. It is a peacemaker.

The other side is binary: yin and yang, hot and cold, black and white. It’s powered by emotion: anger, love, hate and fear. It’s irrational. It’s the quality that makes us blindly loyal to our country or to a silly sports team. It’s what drives men to seek justice. This may be thought of as stubbornness or determination. We’re going to use hypnosis to control it for our purposes.

Hypnosis and the Subconscious Mind

May the Trance Be With You! A 21st Century Look at Hypnosis

(SALEM, Ore.) - Our mind appears to be divided into conscious and subconscious functions. The conscious mind is that little voice in our head that represents who we believe ourselves to be. It is the part of us that is us when we say “I think, therefore I am.”

(SALEM, Ore.) - When I meet someone for the first time I'll usually give them a firm handshake and make eye contact in a friendly way. If someone is introducing me they'll often add that I'm a magician and a hypnotist.

So let's examine this misconception about the nature of hypnosis as well as some of the other persistent ones.

PTSD: There`s No Such Thing!?

Consider the Washington massacre and personality disorder

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - I don't know if I can call myself a PTSD expert, or not, but I did have more than 1000 PTSD patients whom I successfully treated. I also have PTSD from my 25-month visit to the US Army in World War Two. PTSD is a mental disorder, because people with it are not normal.

PTSD victims had too much artillery, mortar attacks, airplane strafing and the usual hell of combat.
I was “able” to survive the PTSD by working after I got out, hard- physically- and psychologically, by getting two Masters degrees and two Doctors degrees.
