Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3

[Have at ye]

@DarkPlouf I have personally observed while doing hypnosis on others that the subconscious does indeed take decision. Some people who fall in trance easily lose consciousness, they don't remember a thing, when you give them suggestion they act on some and not on others, the concious mind does nothing here as far as I'm aware.

This reminds me of a funny anecdote I read by a professional hypnotherapist who did an experiment with one of his patients. While the patient was in a deep trance, the hypnotist was doing his thing, and then he suddenly gave an instruction that he assumed the patient would wholeheartedly refuse, something along the way of: "Now go and kick my secretary in the balls", to which the patient supposedly responded, still in trance, "How about I kick you in the balls".
