I don't want to step on anyone's toes or offend, I would just like to
hear peoples views.

I think there are some striking similarities between religious 
ceremonies/experiences and hypnosis.
                                                                
People say that when they 'give themselfs to god', they are touched
by something that calms them.

When I put myself in a hypnotic state, one method of deepening
the hypnotic state I use is to accept completely what the voice is 
saying,allow the voice on the tape to take COMPLETE control.

Also, I have found without explicit suggestion, I have gone into
a euphoric state while under hypnosis.

One can also see some aspects of religious ceremonies that are similar
to hypnotic induction sequences.

Now, I'm not saying that religious experiences are hypnosis, just that 
there seems to be some similarities.

Pete.

What tapes? Are there tapes readily available for inducing hynosis? 
Where can I find them?
