I’ve studied Psychology and hypnosis. Once you study those then the concept of religion and how it controls people become readily apparent.

A hypnotist can hypnotize someone and then when in a trance tell that the hypnotist finger is on fire and then touch the client with his finger and leave a blister. Of course his finger was not on fire but client believed it and had a physical reaction to it. This is part of an amazing part of how the brain works and to me is the basis for all religions.

The subconscious mind ,especially when in an altered state of consciousness, does not know the difference in what someone imagines and what is real.

Church services are designed to have a hypnotic effect on people and use some of techniques of hypnosis. It’s an emotional thing. They start off with happy music then go back and forth from sad thing to sad thing to scary hell to wonderful salvation. This puts people in an emotional state and called fractional which alters the brain waves and makes people more suggestible. When suggestible people believe in hell just like the person who had the blister from hypnotist. It does become real to the people in church.

This was one of reasons I left. I was Christians 30 years. I tried hypnosis one time for a problem and it helped me more than 2 years of praying. As I studied it I saw more and more the matrix of religions and how people are really being brainwashed and manipulated
