Hypnosis?

Tom,I am in the process of reading the Freedom of Choice and I find it fascinating. I am a little confused by your comment on hypnosis. I understand what you mean by not using things in life to compromise the intellect. I have found self-hypnosis as a means of deleting old habits and a way of reprogramming the subconscious mind. I think hypnosis is a very powerful tool for good when it is used to support the development of intellect. What are your thoughts on this on this?

The segment refers to people mis-using hypnosis to control other people.

What you call "self hypnosis" (there are several other names for self-programming of consciousness) is a very good tool.

As any good tool, hypnosis can be also used to help people. However, the use a tool (any tool) is beneficial ONLY when it is used competently, with good intent, integrity and awareness of The Purpose of Conscious Existence.
