This line of questioning resulted from encountering the following statement when studying the collective papers of Dr. Milton H. Erickson. Erickson is a man many consider to be the Einstein of hypnosis and hypnotherapy. In the forward Dr. Lawrence Kubie wrote: “One of the strange things about the study of hypnotic phenomena is that so many investigators drop out along the way. Behavioral scientists may work in this field for varying periods only to turn away to other things. This phenomenon is one of the reasons why the field of hypnotism tends repeatedly to drift into the hands of enthusiastic but unscientific amateurs, or into hands of those who exploit it for entertainment.” What is Creator’s perspective?

When Dr. Milton H. Erickson was an undergraduate student at the University of Wisconsin, he participated in a series of seminars exploring hypnotic phenomena. Erickson, even as a student, was in disagreement with his professor sponsoring the seminars. Erickson thought hypnotic phenomena had little dependence on the hypnotist, and crafted experiments to demonstrate this assumption. The experiments were wildly successful, beyond Erickson’s expectations. Erickson wrote: “The entire sequence of events was disturbing and obviously displeasing to my professor, since he felt that the importance of suggestions and suggestibility and the role of the operator (the hypnotist) in trance induction were being ignored and by-passed, with the result that this approach to a study of hypnosis was then abandoned in the university seminars.” Can Creator elaborate on why his professor was so “disturbed?”

Milton Erickson’s mentor eventually left the University of Wisconsin for Yale University. This is from Wikipedia: “After moving to Yale, his work in hypnosis quickly encountered resistance. The medical school’s concern over the dangers of hypnosis caused him to discontinue his research.” This seems like karmic payback, in at least some capacity, for the professor doing the same thing to his student, Erickson, years earlier. What is Creator’s perspective?

Why does the collective medical establishment consider hypnosis dangerous and taboo? Their aversion to it appears to go beyond a mere belief in its ineffectiveness. What can Creator tell us?

When Brian was an undergraduate at a Big 10 university he took a series of courses with one of the most respected academic sociologists on campus. Their initial rapport was terrific. It even led to the student being invited to his professor’s lakeside cabin for a weekend. It was clear that the professor believed he had found an exciting young protege he could foster and mentor. When the student one day during an office visit mentioned his interest in paranormal topics, his professor “lost it.” In just a single moment, their protege-mentor relationship was OVER, and his professor became cold, distant, and unapproachable after that. Can Creator shed some light on what happened there?

Brian took two courses in Russian History and wanted to do a paper on Stalin that focused on his psychology and upbringing. The professor was enamored of the deterministic model of history and believed history makes men, men don’t make history. So if not Stalin, a virtual clone of Stalin would have been created by events, and not responsible for the events, and the individual actor was irrelevant. Nevertheless, the professor suggested books by other historians he disagreed with, which the student eagerly pursued. He got an A-minus for his efforts, and his professor was candid in admitting the paper was graded down solely because the professor personally disagreed with the academics the student cited in his paper. What is Creator’s perspective?

We can cite examples of university professors who reportedly gave up greater academic freedom in exchange for being at a more highly prestigious institution. And examples of professors who left an ivy-league institution to join a school with less prestige, in order to have greater academic freedom to pursue the unconventional. That all seems incongruous. What is Creator’s perspective?

Many students, especially those earning advanced degrees, and who go to professional schools, need decades to repay their student loans. So not only are they subjected to academic gatekeeping for a number of years, but enjoy the privilege of spending most of their adult lives paying for it! What is Creator’s perspective?

Brian studied and experimented with hypnosis for a number of years before entering law school. One time he was invited to a large group gathering to attempt a past life regression on the group. To his astonishment, not a single individual of the more than almost thirty people present reported experiencing or seeing anything. This was unprecedented in Brian’s experience, bordering on the impossible in his perspective. He took this as a sign, that this was not to be his life’s work after all. It was a watershed moment in his life. Looking back, it still seems unbelievable. Was the failure “his,” or a result of divine or interloper intervention? What can Creator tell us?

A university professor wrote: “[I wanted] an occupation in a field allied to philosophy in the sense of involving theory: one which was new enough to permit rapid growth so that a young man would not need to wait for his predecessors to die before his work could find recognition …” That is an amazing prescient awareness, as a young man, of the genuine gatekeeping he accurately anticipated encountering. What is Creator’s perspective?

GetWisdom is fighting an uphill battle with interloper gatekeeping in spreading the word about its mission. Can Creator share with us the importance of persisting against these headwinds, in our efforts to get more and more people to learn about and use Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol?
