i want to learn more about this phenomenon:

"you can literally hypnotise a person to tell them that there is a cat in their lap, they will see it, they will hear it pur, they will pet it and feel it. Its not physically there. You tell the cat to scratch them, you know and bring them out of it. There are scratch marks on their cheeks. A non physical object in the right conditions can leave physical evidence. I think its demonic, its a spiritual power of some kind for which there is no physical explaination. You can't explain it with the laws of chemistry and physics as we know it."

thanks

Yes Believing you are in a trance and making your imagination appear quikcly, is 1 Way to toddle of with a self rule. It may also be possible that If you acctually see somthing manifest that fast, such as a cat, Someone that it hypnotizing you, able to see it

i've also heard that you can hypnotize someone through suggestion(look it up on wikipedia)

For starters, it is no more demonic than shell-shock or hysteria. Hypnosis is largely a psychological phenomena, so looking for an answer in the field of chemistry or physics would be about as helpful as looking for the spelling of a word using mathematics.

The point of physical harm occuring from hypnotic states is true to a certain extent, but largely exaggerated in this paragraph. A very simplistic form of 'harm', namely the seeping of blood through the skin, can be induced from a particular sort of inductee, but only after a great deal of trust, preparation, and many sessions. Things such as scratches and such generally only appear spontaneously in cases of severe obsession (which, incidentally, go a long way towards explaining cases of "demonic possession"). You aren't going to put a first-time inductee under, tell them a cat scratched them, and get any sort of physical response.

Only be aware of the possible ramifications and things that could happen. You ARE taking responsibility for this person's psyche, their mind and body - they have allowed you to trod around in their mind. Are you prepared for the 40 year old that you put under to suddenly start weeping and shaking his head, so overcome with grief and despair at the scene he's seeing?

thanks

Im not familiar with the people who hypnotize for fun nor have i ever gone up on stage to be hynotized, I did however buy sessions with a hypnotist in hopes to overcome a fear of mine. Public speaking, and having more confidence was the program I was taking and it involved being hypnotised daily by listening to an audio tape of relaxing sounds and scenarious the hypnotist would create.

To be honest im not sure if it ever worked there was a program i need to follow and i was skeptical of it all, I just really enjoyed the relaxation and was curious of the outcome.

In my mind, today, it did not work, I am still terrified of speaking infront of a large crowd. The only thing i guess i can say about being hypnotized, is that its a great way to relax and be hopeful something beneficial will become of it.
