~jK~ Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) The copy I found is only 31 pages -originaly written in 1922, it does make some claims considered to be impossible today but it also has some excellent theory - mainly pointing to the imagination ruling the factual portion of our behavior and beliefs. To me, what I was searching for is an increased ability to tell fact from fiction within my meditation practices. Meditation is very-very much akin to Hypnosis as both rely on a dream-like state of empty mind. Although I do think that meditation works more from a developmental standpoint whereas Hypnosis works from an autosuggestion point.

Yes, auto-suggestion can work in any aspect of our life (as long as we remain within the realm of possibilities). Many years ago when in school I was offered a free course in self-hypnosis. It was of great value to me. Peace & Love! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That sounds interesting. I have never used it for any type of development. It was mainly an aid for establishing good study habits. I am not much of a creative/imaginative person. Peace & Love!
