Religious Healing Hypnosis and the Bible

by Leave a Comment

Religious healing cannot be dismissed by merely saying, “It isn’t scientific.” A methodology is only scientific when it works. It is of no value if it doesn’t help the individual seeking help. We must face the fact that not all people can be helped by the same psychological treatment. We can readily see this in the following extreme example: An aborigine suffering from a psychological problem certainly wouldn’t be a candidate for psychoanalysis as we know it. He could, no doubt, be helped much more readily by a witch doctor. It also stands to reason that the sophisticated Westerner would not be influenced by the incantations of a tribal medicine man.

Going further, we find there are many schools of psychotherapy and many approaches to solving man’s emotional problems. The cure rate for all of them, however, is approximately the same. I think we must accept the fact that there is no _one_ sound, logical, scientific approach. I believe that so long as the end result is achieved, the methodology was scientific for that individual’s needs. The goal of all therapies is to help the patient free himself from whatever emotional problems beset him.

This approach, to some readers, may seem an oversimplification of a very complex problem, but I think it’s time that we had a simple, workable formula devoid of technical jargon. Too often, complex technical terms and theories have been glibly used to explain away failures. I believe we need more and more emphasis on measures to make the patient feel better rather than spending most of the time trying to find out why he doesn’t feel well. This, of course, is symptom removal again.

I should like to point out an interesting fact pertaining to Biblical healers. So long as the fame of the healer preceded his arrival in any country, he was able to heal the sick. However, where his fame as a healer was either unknown or discredited, he found no faith and subsequently no cure. The earliest reference to hypnosis is in the Bible, Genesis ii, 21. “And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fallupon Adam, and he slept …”

Is Self-Hypnosis the Answer?

by Leave a Comment

Dr. George Estabrooks, professor of psychology at Colgate University and author of the book, Hypnotism, made the following two statements in a paper called “The Future of Hypnosis” given as part of a program on “The Nature of Hypnosis” at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Association in 1959:

“It would be well to sound a word of caution against certain attitudes which have become prevalent and which can be well illustrated in the field of medicine. In this respect, direct suggestion is under the ban.

For example, a dictum, ‘Never remove the symptom unless the cause is understood,’ is much emphasized. Its validity is greatly open to question, since much of medical practice is direct symptom removal, as only a little thought makes apparent.

“Another dictum generally followed is that the unconscious background of symptom-complexes must necessarily be made conscious to effect a cure. Reasonable and thoughtful consideration of the extensive role of the unconscious in daily living and functioning renders this dictum much less creditable.”

I should like to discuss both of these statements in some detail as they invariably arise in the mind of the individual seeking help through hypnosis.

The first thought that comes to mind is that all the religious healings cited in the Bible involve direct symptom removal. The cures that are effected by religious devotees traveling to sacred shrines are also in the realm of direct symptom removal. I have yet to hear a criticism of this type of treatment directed at religious leaders or condemnation of the religious shrines. These cures are accepted as evidence of the power of faith or attributed to the super-natural. In these cases, nothing is ever done to make the person cured understand the nature of the unconscious mechanisms which contributed to his problem.

Hypnosis and the Bible

by Leave a Comment

Bible has always been a very significant book of verses for man kind. It has influenced people greatly and it has always been able to teach the human race various important aspects of life. This powerful book of god has also depicted various scenes where it can be proved that hypnotism was used to manifest various actions. It cannot be concluded that bible supported or proposed hypnotism and its techniques but it has mentioned many instances where the use of hypnotic techniques can be proved. You may hear people disliking hypnotism calling it as a sin but in bible through various instances it can be proved that hypnosis was a part of concluding or completing many things.

For instance in the book of genesis it was mentioned like this-  “So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon man, and while he slept, took one of his ribs and closed up in its place with flesh, and the rib which God took from man. He made woman and brought her to the man.” This incident demonstrates the use of techniques of hypnotism for taking out ribs from a man’s body for not giving any pain to him. Here hypnotism was used as anesthesia so that the man feels no pain. Similar instances like this one also proves that hypnotism was used in those times are when in the bible it was mentioned “Laying on of hand” depicts that some of the many techniques of hypnotism were used. 

It can not be still proved that is bible or the super natural powers are against the use of techniques of hypnotism by humans or are supportive of this act. The point that is strong for conclusion is no matter how badly hypnotic techniques were used in the gone era, today it is the key to many of our problems. May be it caused damage to a few but it must have been purely because they did not interpret the techniques properly.
