You have seen intuitively, the answer here, that as you suspect, the Esdaile state is not like a typical hypnotic trance but the creation of a channeling gateway to the deep subconscious, so there can be some perception of its existence. The fact it cannot be achieved except by particular, select, clients who are good hypnotic subjects, is telling, because, as you know, there is a functional defect making the deep subconscious out of reach of the conscious awareness, or even upper subconscious awareness those lower depths of the mind exist, even though they are the largest portion of your mind by far. So while this can be explored, based on this insight, it will not be done by most hypnotists in a way that will be very fruitful. They are in the dark as to the true dimensions of what they are working with, why it is present, and what could be done to utilize making a connection to the deep subconscious of their subjects, in the so-called Esdaile state, in an effective fashion to promote learning and growth, especially through healing.
