Personally, I enjoy "chasing ghosts" - doing things that might greatly increase my control over life if successful, but that have lottery odds. I typically don't invest any money into these projects and only invest a little time.
The hypnosis files on this site fit that category pretty well. I can spend a half hour a day and no money at all, trying to ingrain a specific file into my subconscious. If it fails, I haven't really lost anything that I wasn't willing to sacrifice in the first place. And if it succeeds, then I've gained a lot.

There's nothing wrong with hypnosis files attempting to improve psychic abilities. Personally, I don't think they're likely to work. However, they remind me too strongly of my own hobby for me to criticize them. Leave people to chase their ghosts. More of them than you think are fully aware of the unlikeliness of their success and are really just doing it for fun, like I do.

You can't just make something up and give it a name. There isn't any evidence of Psychic bullshit so why do you believe in it? Some fantastic notion is discovered and suddenly you yell it's real because no-one can prove it is not? Did you read someones mind at some point? Bah!

Har har har. Why am I a hypocrite though?

I think he means that you are a hypocrite because if you apply your stance about psychic abilities to religion, it's impossible for you to be religious - you don't believe in psychic abilities because there's no evidence but you still feel the lack of contradictory evidence means nothing. Therefore, if you apply it God, who you have no solid evidence of existing, then if you still believe in him due to a lack of contradictory evidence you are a hypocrite. And if you still follow your logic about psychic abilities, you must be atheist too. Therefore, you are a hypocritical atheist.

Unless you were an atheist before you posted of course.

Oh, I get it now. Yeah, tis' all faff.

Haha, good.

Anyway, have these files ever cause physical changes percievable by others?

Any that don't influence the phyisical body, but rather the psyche, I can be sure work. Paul McKenna and others have proven that hypnosis for psychological purposes works.

But can hypnosis actually affect the corporeal world?

In the early 1900s up until about 30 years ago there were hypnotists who made efforts to cause physiological changes.

There are reports of hypnotists causing and removing skin lesions. There are also reports of people with multiple personalities where one personality was diagnosed with having asthma or type 1 diabetes and yet when they switched to another personality there was no trace of either ailment.

I'm sure there are hypnotists out there that are making efforts to advance and popularize these findings; I just haven't been reading their reports or have found them to be too lacking in the scientific area to be considered valid.

You can't change the perception of one person by hypnotising another. I don't know how that could even work.

Just one doctors report in book form:

Hypnotic Brain by Peter Brown

Personally, i believe in all of it - psychic, corporeal changes, and mental changes. I have also seen, firsthand, evidence for bodily change in one of my subjects, whom i've hypno'd -- naming no names. Psychic powers, ESP, astral projection, PK, etc --- i have looked around and around, but can find no solid proof that they DO NOT exist. Instead, it seems to be the other way - for instance, the non-existence of telepathy would violate at least three major laws of physics. I try to do a LOT of research before stating my opinion, and, naming no names, i think many others could benefeit from this stance.

Actually, I once hypnotised someone to be three foot taller, and within an hour, they truly WERE taller.

Please note my post count of _one_

Can we stick to dicussions based on things we can prove, ever?
