Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hypnotism and Hypnotic Suggestion: A Scientific Treatise on the Uses and Possibilities of Hypnotism, Suggestion and Allied Phenomena It can be laid down as a fundamental principle that there is nothing unnatural or occult in the phenomena of hypnotism; what may appear mysterious to us at present will be found to be quite in conformity with the laws of nature when the facts are more carefully determined. The essential factors in most phenomena of hypnotism may be said to be first, the production of a sleepy or dazed condition in which the subject is unusually sensitive to suggestions given by the hypnotized, and second, the giving of suggestions that are followed by actions, hallucinations, etc. It is my belief that most of the phenomena of hypnotic suggestion can be produced in sane persons in a perfectly normal condition, by merely choosing the appropriate suggestions. Here is an experiment that can be performed by anyone; I perform it regularly every year on classes of twenty to twentyfive pupils. The current from a battery (or a dynamo) is sent through a thin wire, the strength being regulated so that the wire very slowly becomes warm. Each person takes such a wire be tween thumb and finger. He is told to say "Now" at the very first instant he feels the wire begin to become warm. After the warning "All ready" the switch is turned on with a loud snap; in a short time the heat is faintly felt and the subjects begin to say, "now" one after another. The experiment is then to be repeated a second time. The warning "All ready" is given as before but a secret, noiseless switch is turned so that, when the other switch is snapped, no current passes through the wires. The subjects soon call out "Now" as before, although no heat whatever is developed in the wires. In this way a pure hallucination is developed on the basis of a mere suggestion without any of the preliminary manipulations common to hypnotism. It is especially remarkable that this can be done with a large class - the larger the better. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
