The subject of hypnosis

The kind of hypnosis that is just one person speaking positive suggestions to another person, is simply explained as the sub consciousness making more of an effort to change something that it already wanted to change. So, the “reprogramming of the subconscious” using positive suggestive thinking, is in reality not what is happening. It would be more realistic to say that the attitude of a sub consciousness who underwent hypnosis is as follows: I wanted to make a change before, and now that I just invested in paying someone a large amount of money for a session of positive thinking, now I am going to make more of an effort to change.

The other form of hypnosis

My understanding of this process is as follows: If a person were to be hypnotized in a clinical setting, then it would be a quiet environment with no distractions. The hypnotherapist would dangle something in front of your face and would tell you to focus on the back and forth movement, and supposedly the hypnotherapist is sometimes able to put you in a trance. I used the word supposedly, because I have never myself experienced this regressed state. If the subject is finally put into a trance, of which this would be called regression, then the hypnotherapist would speak something like, “go back to a certain date and time, even to as far back as when you were a child,” and then the sub consciousness responds and speaks from its perfect memory. If this is accurate, and attaining the regressed state is actually what is happening, then it seems likely that most, if not all hypnotherapists, have no idea that the sub consciousness is a separate consciousness that is “speaking by itself” when a person is regressed in a trance. If a person were to actually be regressed in a trance, the sub consciousness could be “telling the past” exactly as it happened, or it could be changing various aspects of reality using its creativity.
This would logically work the same for "past life regression.” Some people actually believe that they have had past lives, of which the story of the past life is being told when in the regressed state. For people who think that they have achieved a “past life regressed state,” what is really happening, is that the sub consciousness is just making up a story using its creativity. The “personal presence” of the sub consciousness that is living with humanity is completely well aware that it has never lived before. I used the term “personal presence,” because I don’t want anyone to think that I was ever referring to the sub consciousness as sort of a “higher power” that existed somewhere, and yet its “universal presence” was with mankind, because this is definitely not the case.
Personal presence: This previously used term is referring to the fact that everyone has their own unique sub consciousness that is the organizer of their life.
