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?

How curious it is that one of the more profound demonstrations of the mind at work, and its mysteries, is so largely ignored by the mainstream scientific establishment. There are many, many psychologists who carry out countless clinical studies of all sorts to look at all kinds of phenomena related to the mind and its workings, as well as human behavior and the arena of mental and emotional health and well-being, to help understand what goes wrong and what can be done about it. Yet the subconscious, which is the gateway to many important inner aspects of the being, is very little tapped by research in a serious way that is consistent and with a follow through. There are many who come along and dabble for a time but then drift away. We can tell you with certainty, this is not because their work is unrewarding or there is no real promise there to be of value for serious and prolonged investigation. In fact, the opposite is the case. What is going on is that the entire field of hypnotism phenomenology and utilization, as a therapeutic tool, is being suppressed and the scientists themselves, who take an interest, subjugated to dissuade them from delving too deeply or for too long a period of time. This is all entirely sinister, and is no different than other areas of medical research and scientific inquiry, where human investigators are discouraged from pursuing many promising avenues of exploration, and constrained to focus on things of much less value and no practical significance, but can keep many workers busy doing what is, in the end, just busy work and adding publications that do not truly advance anything with true merit or practical value. That is the case here, there is a broad arena of fascinating and highly productive research being wholly neglected, still.
