Is it against the Bible to be hypnotized?
One Contributors opinionThe Bible tells us to submit our minds to God, not to a hypnotist. Hypnotism is an occult science and can lead to demon possession. The Bible says "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:" in Philippians 2:5, and also, "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." in Philippians 4:8. In hypnotism, you do not control your thoughts, you let someone else control your mind. That is against what the Bible teaches us to do with our minds.Another Contributors opinionI have to disagree with this. Hypnosis is not demonic. It does not lead to demon possession. The hypnotist does not control you when you are in hypnosis. You are in hypnosis all the time.....the TV, the movies etc. So does the bible say that you can't watch movies or TV? Don't you watch these? What about driving a car? Do you drive a car and forget how you got there? You are in hypnosis. When you read you are in hypnosis. Have you fallen in love before? You are in hypnosis. Are these spoken against in the bible? When you go to school do you think you are not in hypnosis? How about when you go to a sermon at your church? Do you think the pastor does not hypnotize you by repetition, by making you sing, by preaching to you over and over and over again. Making you read passages form the Bible over and over and over again. The more you do it the more you believe it. Come on lets get real. The bible is not meant to be taken absolutely literally. It is full of metaphors left to the interpretation of the reader - that is exactly what hypnosis is metaphors left for the interpretation of the person receiving it. If hypnosis is so bad then how come it helps so many people. So what is the real difference? There is none.An opinion:"Hypnotize: 1. Put somebody into hypnosis: to put somebody into a state of hypnosis. 2. Fascinate: to fascinate or charm somebody utterly. Synonyms: fascinate, mezmerize, spellbind, entrance, enthrall, compel, absorb.""Hypnotize" is what the "Serpent" did to Eve.The "nachash"... translated "serpent" in the KJV from its "hiss" is more like a "whispering enchanter." Evidently, he spoke to Eve in a soft whispering voice of "secrecy" conveying an air of intimacy between them. He was the epitome of the "traveling salesman" [selling his 'merchandise' - Ezek.28:16]. He sowed seeds of doubt in her heart that God was holding back the truth from her... not telling her everything. The subliminal message was that 'God can't be trusted... trust in me.'"'You will not surely die,' the serpent said to the woman. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God..." (Gen.3:4-5 NIV)Satan [that 'old serpent' - Rev.12:9] "fascinated" Eve. He hypnotized her. He mezmerized her... entranced her, enthralled her, compelled her... spellbound her.The human mind is easily influenced from any number of directions... the five physical human senses are easily desceived. TV, commercials, ads, public speaking, and more, are geared to entrancing, compelling and initiating a response in those "mezmerized" by their messages.The gospels are filled with instances of people "possessed" of unclean spirits. Jesus cast them out of people right and left, it seems, as commonly as we take our next breath.The human spirit is subject to them. Some people "dabble" in spiritual pursuits, seemingly asking for trouble. Others are mezmerized without any conscious thought. Most people aren't aware that anything's going on at all.Drugs can dull and open the mind to hypnotic influences, also... and hamper one's ability to fight them.The "business" of hypnosis, from an individual's perspective, is a conscious decision on the part of a person to allow someone else to "take over" their spirit [intellect]... to clinically dull their mind. It's a willing surrender of one's sovereignty... also opening the mind up to outside influences, demonic or otherwise.Being "hypnotized" isn't "against" the Bible. It's recorded in the Bible to be a fact of human nature. The human mind is naturally subject to it... unless one is aware of it and subsequently able and/or prepared to fight it... or "overcome" it [ideally, through the power of God].From another contributor:Hypnosis is not against the bible or God. Stop relying on misinformation from people who do not understand hypnosis. and get educated about the subject. Fear of the unknown is the real enemy. Here is the Catholic Churches official stance on hypnosis that was established back in the 1950's.Catholic Church Stance on Hypnosis:From the allocution to doctors by Pope Pius XII in 1957 which directly references the medical use of hypnosis and his allocution from 1956. Excerpt below:3. HYPNOSISBut consciousness can also be affected by artificial means. That one may obtain this result by the application of narcotics or by hypnosis (which one can call a psychic analgesic) that does not make any essential difference in the moral point of view. Hypnosis however, even considered only in itself, is subject to certain rules. may We be allowed on this matter to recall Our short allusion to the medical use of hypnosis which We made at the beginning of the allocution of January 8, 1956 on painless natural childbirth.The issue which occupies us now concerns hypnosis practiced for clinical purposes by the doctor, while keeping the precautions that medical science and ethics require from the doctor who employs it as well as from the patient who subjects himself to it. On this given use of hypnosis, will apply the moral judgment, which We will formulated on the suppression of consciousness.But we do not want that We extend purely and simply to hypnosis in general what We are saying on hypnosis at the service of the doctor. This, in as much as it is a scientific object of research, cannot be studied by any person indiscrimately, but only by a serious scientist within the moral boundaries valid for any scientific activity. It is not the case of any circle of laymen or ecclesiastics, who would occupy themselves with it as with interesting subject by way of pure experiment, or even by simple pastime.END EXCERPTCatholic Answers apologist Jimmy Akin also had a fairly good article with his view of the Catholic thinking on hypnotism in his blog.

While Alfred Hitchcock's "Rope" is merely inspired by the events (turning the killers into two Manhattan students who strangle a friend right before a dinner party), it's a riveting portrait of narcissism."All the President's Men" (1976)Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford play the fledgling Washington Post reporters who uncover the connection between the White House and the break-in at the Democratic National Committee.

What was a grandmother in the 1940's like?
I can only really tell you about my grandmother (loved her a great deal.) She was my mother's mother and would visit often staying over-night. Grandmothers back in the 40s usually wore dark clothing, longer dresses, wore a cardigan sweater and black Cuban heeled shoes that laced up the front and always a hat when you went out anywhere. They usually had grey hair and wore it in a bun at the nape of their neck and at night take the bun out and brush and put it in one long braid and I was mezmerized by this. Grandmothers usually had full, cushy breasts and I can remember feeling so safe when my grandmother held me on her knee and let me rest my head on her. When I was 4 she moved into my bedroom (2 single beds) and each night I would watch her brush her long silver grey hair 100 strokes and then put it in one long braid. She would tell me a story, then read a little from the Bible, but she read it so I could understand it. Then we said our prayers (actually kneeling side-by-side with elbows on the bed) and I would always include my grandmother in my prayers and I'd see one blue eye twinkle my way. During the day in a 1940s life women cleaned the house, prepared meals for the men in the house (only my father at the time) and there were no fast foods and during this time food was rationed up until the mid-40s. My grandmother would use brown butcher paper and a nub of a lead pencil to make her grocery list. I can still see her touching her tongue to the end of the lead pencil to make it write darker. It wasn't off to a huge grocery store to do shopping, but driving out to a farm for chickens and eggs. Thankfully the chickens were already butchered and plucked, but when we got home I helped my grandmother clean out the chickens and I thought it was the greatest thing (you couldn't get me to do that yukky job now! LOL) She would make sausage and grind up meat and allow me to blow-up the gut that came in long links (I wouldn't press my lips to those again either) and make sausages. Since there is Irish and Scottish in our family my grandmother spoke fluent Gaelic and she would often tease her own daughter (my mother) by teaching me a few bad words (not too bad)in Gaelic and have me go over and tell my mother who would get red faced and angry at my grandmother. Heck, I thought I had learned another language! Grandma left her deceased husband's bagpipes in my closet in the bedroom and my mother told me I was never to touch them. Well of course I did! I would sneak into the closet and blow so hard on those things (not realizing you had to blow to put wind in the darn thing) and I would have bulging eyes and felt like my lungs had been sucked through my throat. I never got as much of a peep out of those bagpipes. My grandmother would take me to the Scottish dances and I learned many of the dances and danced very well "Sword Dance", etc. I remember my grandmother once a month would say, "I'm off to Auntie Maggie's to meet Captain Morgan." By then I was 6 - 7 years old and would raise my eyebrow thinking my grandmother (of ALL people had a boyfriend!) Off my grandmother would go in her black coat, straw hat with large fake roses in it and her bun sticking out the back and those black Cuban heels clicking down the stairs as fast as they could not to mention the big grin on her face. I was thoroughly disgusted to think my grandmother was sharing a boyfriend with Auntie Maggie. My grandmother would be home around 8 PM and I was still up doing my homework. Her coat would be buttoned up wrong and her hat would be lop-sided with the roses looking wilted and worn and those little tiny Cuban heeled shoes weren't doing the "fast click" like they use too. My grandmother finally came to live with us permanently (I didn't really know why and it was natural) and we had an extremely close bond. She was soft-spoken, always smiling with a twinkle in her eye and teaching me THAT Gaelic! There were many fond memories. Then my grandmother was bed-ridden and my mother told me I could no longer sleep in the same room "grandma was ill." I thought she had a cold, but unfortunately she had stomach cancer and in those days the patients were sent home to die. When she passed away she left a large hole in my heart and I felt that the one safe place I had for security had been snatched from my life. It wasn't until I was in my late teens I began to understand about life in general ... being born and dying and I came to peace with it. Oh, by the way, Old Captain Morgan that was seeing my dear grandmother and Auntie Maggie was none other than a large bottle of Captain Morgan rum and grandma got smashed!
