The power of "Hypnosis" is amazing ... I have watched my friend, who volunteered to go to stage and get hypnotized, bite his shoe with incredible appetite, because the hypnotist told him that was his favorite fruit ..!!
Contrary to a popular misconception, that hypnosis is a form of unconsciousness resembling sleep, the hypnotic subjects are fully awake and are focusing attention, with a corresponding decrease in their peripheral awareness. Subjects also show an increased response to suggestions.
In order to be hypnotized, you must be able to relax and clear your mind just the same as you would during meditation.
I am starting to get convinced that transmitting Brahma Kumaris ideology to persons is done through a combination of constant brain wash and hypnosis, which would eventually produce robotic type followers.
Hypnosis might also throw light and explain the trances which mediums go through, possibly as a result of self-hypnosis.
