Hypnosis and the Psychic Arts

By William Duby

It is amazing how many people will participate in "hypnosis" or the "psychic arts" while refusing to go near the other because of fear. It is "mind boggling" when you come to think about it, especially, if you know as I do that they are truly the same, at core reality. Bear with me, please, as I explain their interdependent relationship with one another.

Edgar Cayce is known as the "Sleeping Prophet." In his conscious state of mind - he knew himself as "Edgar Cayce, Photographer and Sunday School Teacher." And, in the subconscious state - he knew himself as "Ra Ta, an Egyptian High Priest."

When Cayce was in the state of mind calling itself - "Ra Ta" - he was in the metaphysical realm of nature, giving psychic predictions upon nearly every subject under the sun. And, of course, when "Ra Ta" was absent, Cayce was present with the physical nature of the body. What caused him to go from the conscious state of being "Edgar Cayce", - to the subconscious state of being - "Ra Ta", -was the power of the psychical essence or, the soul memory of awareness residing in the blood.

Without hypnosis - "Cayce" couldn't experience the reality of "Ra Ta." The psychic power of hypnosis gives you the awareness necessary to alter consciousness. And, unless the consciousness known as Edgar Cayce was altered, the consciousness of "Ra Ta" would never have come into being.

As said earlier, Cayce was called the "Sleeping Prophet." The word sleeping is referring to the hypnotic state of mind once the psychical essence has altered the consciousness. Or, another way of saying the same thing is that Cayce was a "Sleeping Prophet" whenever he was in a trance like sleep. And, to makes things perfectly clear, he was never asleep and/or unconscious. If anything, he was much more aware in the trance state of mind than at any other time.

The word "hypnosis" has two synonyms listed in the thesaurus, - "dream and meditation." And, of course, the word "psychic" has a few words such as metaphysical, extrasensory, supernatural.

The two subjects belong to the metaphysical realm because you must use your psychic ability to dream (hallucinate) and meditate (ponder); simply put, alter consciousness.

People like to think of "hypnosis" as one thing and "psychic ability" - as another thing. In truth, your psychic ability to become aware of the psychical awareness of your soul memory instantly empowers you from on high to "know what you know" beyond conscious inductive reasoning. Metaphysically speaking, it gives you the added measure of being capable of arising in consciousness and enjoying the realm of the spirit often referred to as the metaphysical planes of the here-after; except, you can see it and explore it here-beforehand.

One must enter within the subconscious and experience the trance state of mind if a psychic reading and/or psychic healing is given.

It is just a matter of semantics whether I say that I am going to use hypnosis or use my psychic power. Either way, I am saying that I am altering my consciousness to do something within the realm of the spiritual and/or work within the mindset of myself or another individual.

I can call the inherited power "hypnosis"; or, I can call it "psychic ability." Either way, I am talking about something metaphysical, something beyond the physical. And what is beyond the physical is the psychical, and whatever is psychical is of the soul nature within man.

A hypnotist is just as much of a psychic as a psychic is a hypnotist. The hypnotist may speak of the subconscious while the psychic speaks of the aura. Once again, we're talking about the same thing. Semantics would say otherwise. And, some people love playing semantics, they get off on it. In truth, we're talking about the same thing; we're talking about an energy - an energy that has intelligence and memory. It makes little difference whether I say we are going to cleanse your subconscious and/or cleanse your aura.

Think about it - "there is no separation in divine mind." It only looks that way because of the way we think. Think differently, and we'll see it differently.

Whether you are getting a psychic healing and/or receiving a hypnotherapy session, your consciousness is being altered one way or another. It is just a matter of how you want to look at it. I choose to look at it like it is, rather than how I'd like for it to be. I've already been there and done that and ended up with expectations upon myself and others that was insane, to say the least.

The "hypnotherapy session" and the "psychic reading" have one thing in common. You must bypass the critical factor of your conscious mind to enjoy either one. And, then of course, you must do a selective kind of thinking to maintain the experience. So, with that in mind, enjoy knowing the truth now, the truth that will set you into the freedom to enjoy both because they are actually the same.

Enjoy the paper!
