Brief Video Description:
I was a skeptic and a cynic, then a hypnotic subject, then a hypnotist. Some say I was hypnotised into believing in hypnosis and that it's actually not a real thing. I think they're confused. I go over the questions:
What's possible with hypnosis?
What is hypnosis and why are humans vulnerable?
What's it like to be hypnotised or to be a hypnotist?
What crossover is there between hypnosis, advertising, cults & mind control? (Also ideological posession)
What's this got to do with Ontology?
