I once read a text about mass hypnotism in religion. Don't remember the authors name or the name of the text. But the point he was expressing was a deep concern about what he claimed to be mass hypnotism in religion, particularly in Asia. I don't think I understood his point correctly at the time I read it. I thought he was talking about religion being like hypnosis for the masses, not actual hypnotism.
However, at a religious gathering a while back, I witnessed something that to me appeared to be real mass hypnosis. I have been hypnotised once before on a show, so I have a basic idea what hypnosis look and feel like. All the attendants that wanted to would come up to the stage, where I swear I saw the priest use hypnosis on them. It was about 15 - 20 people after turn.
I know that priest have 4 - 5 other churches as well. And from what the people says he does this all the time. And I know from experience that this has caused huge personality changes in a5 least one of the victims.
What do you think about this? And how would you react if it happened to someone near you?
