Hypnotic Suggestion and Scientology

There is a major revolt taking place. A huge uprising by young people around the globe to reject the teachings and behavior of an organization that has (despite the lack of a deity) managed to be classified for tax purposes as a Church.

These young people have taken the extraordinary step of forming themselves into a huge world wide collective taking action anonymously. They call themselves - appropriately - Anonymous. This must be a first in human history - and possible only because of the internet.Why is history being made? Why have young people (and anyone who feels inclined to join them) taken this revolutionary and unique set of actions?

Outrage at what they see as the poisonous, manipulative and destructive behavior of the people who belong to the organization known as Scientology. The article “Protest Scientology this Saturday” explains the issue and in part says:

“Scientology is designed to release information very slowly…. Scientology is not swallowed whole; it is accepted incrementally via a carefully constructed series of agreements into which the individual is led, bolstered by profoundly invasive hypnotic techniques, peer pressure, [and] hard-sell tactics……..

After a recruit has finished the expensive courses they are required to take, they are asked to undergo “auditing.” Auditing is a fancy word for hypnotic suggestion, although those who are put through it are never made aware of their vulnerability. After their auditing session, recruits are left very vulnerable, absorbing information without the ability to critically analyze it.” read more HERE

There are a huge number of videos being posted daily on youtube by Anonymous. They have a huge following of enthusiasts who wait for their daily feed of youtube action as reported by Anonymous.

But why would Power-Hypnosis.com mention any of this? For three reasons:

1) The practices of Scientology are a serious example of the power of hypnotic suggestion

2) The Anonymous debate helps us to be more aware of the power of hypnotic suggestion, how vulnerable anyone can be and how we can protect ourselves from hypnotic suggestion.

3) This debate makes the power of hypnosis and hypnotic suggestion very clear - and focuses on some of the ethical issues that need to be considered by anyone planning to use hypnosis.
