Changing Mental Patterns: Hypnosis

Hypnosis is actually the safest and most effective method of adjusting probabilities by changing mental patterns. The hypnotic state can be used to greatly enhance learning ability as well as creativity and the healing of the body. The average individual is functioning within an incomplete trance state with a greatly repressed unconscious. The integration of the conscious and unconscious levels of perception can be greatly enhanced by the use of medical hypnosis. The possibilities of combining Chinese medicine with hypnosis and chi gong have tremendous potential for optimum healing.

The ultimate potential of hypnosis has not been fully explored by Western science. The ability of the mind to access information using suggestion is a probable future use of hypnosis combined with thought experimentation. The story of how Rachmaninov regained his creative excellence after daily hypnotic therapy is a good example of a non-pharmaceutical means of integrating the waking consciousness with the creative unconscious. The creative unconscious, which actively seeks an artistic integration with the waking world of conscious reality can enhance the performing aspects of the self.

Much of success in any field of inquiry is dependent upon the performance level of the individual, and this level can be greatly increased using suggestion. Any specific skill or creative ability can be tremendously enhanced in an extremely short period of time using hypnotherapeutic methods. This includes both physiological and mental changes, both of which improve the performance of the individual. Chi gong includes hypnosis and self-hypnosis; it is a method of combining energy cultivation with trance as a means of generating health and longevity. It also leads to kundalini activation.

Whatever creative project a person is working upon in waking reality is often the subject of dreams. These dreams can be guided and shaped with hypnotic suggestion so that it affects the conscious and unconscious level, and ultimately the integration of both. In terms of Western science, hypnosis is the key to consciousness integration because it is the only non-pharmaceutical means in Western medicine to unite the conscious and unconscious levels of the mind.

Enhancing creativity as well as longevity should be the goal of medical science. Each individual has the ability to rapidly evolve to greater levels of perception by the correct use of hypnosis.

If used incorrectly, hypnosis has resulted in false memory recovery syndrome. The mental compliance aspect between the hypnotherapist and individual is also threatening to the Western concept of individuality. Hypnosis was the original basis of Freud's work. The Western concept of the unconscious comes from his observations after he administered post-hypnotic suggestion to individuals. The definition of neurosis as a repressed unconscious "id" which must be controlled by the superego, represents a view of inner conflict as the basis of Western culture. The conflict between the id and the superego is the basic duality, which is unified through the completion stage of meditation. The conjunction of opposites actually represents the unification of the id and the superego, which results in an integration of perception.

Hypnosis works so well medically that it should be included in all future scientific endeavors. Very few scientists have understood that an integration of unconscious and conscious information will lead to greater discoveries and breakthroughs. Western culture values speed above any other commodity and hypnosis can be used as a means to greatly increase the speed of creative discovery in any scientific field. Creative discovery leads to greater truth, the goal of science as a whole.
