In my view, these questions need to be contemplated by prospective hypnotherapists with passion, curiosity, and perseverance, and their success with clients will be directly proportionate to how deeply they cultivate this contemplation and make it relevant to their own secret and shadowy inner life. Contemplation of this sort, in order to be passionate and curious, has to be free of any standard of success regarding the contemplation. You have to be free of fear or hope that you will or will not be successful. To be fully engaged in the process of learning is to be fully alive moment by moment. To experience it is to be awake from all forms of hypnosis.
Hypnotic processes are redundant.
It is important to recognize that almost any therapeutic process partakes of redundancy. Learning how to appreciate and work within this atmosphere of redundancy is one of the most important principles of this course. Their problems are the fruit born of their trances. You can use standard hypnotic processes, which you will learn in this course, in the same way that poisons are used in proper fashions to make medicines. This course will blend the nuts and bolts of learning hypnotic processes for therapeutic and clinical uses with a dance of metaphors and perspectives and challenges to wake you up from your own limiting trances.
