Hypnosis is common in the research of a UFO event especially in abduction cases. Many doubt if it is a valuable tool. Let me explain what is, how it works and dispel some of the myths around it.
Here are some of the facts:
All people can be hypnotized: untrue. Only people who have an average or above average IQ (intelligence quotient) can be hypnotized. One has to be able to have some intelligence and be able to reason within their mind. A person with a low IQ usually cannot do that.
The hypnotist can make the person being hypnotized do something that is against their will: again untrue. If a person has a moral value, they will not go against that moral value.
Is there a test to see if they can be hypnotized? The answer is yes and no. The YES simply means that the hypnosis will be successful if the subject trusts the person who is going to hypnotize them. If one does not trust the hypnotist, then that person will not be hypnotized. One simple test I was taught in the late 1960s was to stand in back of the person and tell them to close their eyes and fall back into my hands. If they would it meant they trusted me and I probably could hypnotize them. If they would not fall back then they did not trust me and I could not hypnotize them.
Hypnosis is contrary to the human psyche: again untrue. There is a time just before awakening and being fully awake and again just before falling asleep when one enters a altered state. This altered state is very similar to a hypnotic state. This happens to 99.99% of the people on this planet.
A hypnotist has control of a person's emotions: again untrue. A good hypnotist can help a person with a traumatic memory deal with those memories and if the event is too traumatic release them from that state by reassuring them that everything is alright.
A person can instantaneously be put under control of a hypnotist by clicking an object or saying a specific word: some what untrue. To give a person a post hypnotic suggestion does not mean that they are going to do it. Usually it takes several sessions of reinforcing the post hypnotic suggestion to be successful.
Intelligence as I mentioned before reinforces the results. The more intelligent you are the more you can visualize and the more control you have over your mind. While that is a positive step to help you go under the hypnotic state it also is a safe block to the recipient, for the individual not to do something against his/her will.
