There is no hypnotism, God is the only power and the only ruler, ^o human being can affect another human being, as man is spiritual nd governed by God and by God alone. Only God’s thoughts, perfect deas, can come to man. Man can never be biased or overruled by the rifluence of others, as the only ruler, the only cause, is God, and man s governed by that one cause, God, who is the only I AM, the one, ?finite Ego.
Hypnotism is an apparent belief in the power of one human being o affect another human being by thinking of him, or mentally suggesting o him, silently or audibly. It is not true, however. The mistake has been nade by the mental workers who find that, as a rule, if a man thinks trongly, the thing will happen or the person will do what the first >erson thinks he will do. As a matter of fact, one human being has no •ower to harm or affect another human being. First, because if so there should be a power other than that of God, a power of evil. Secondly, here is no material man, there is only God’s man and an imaginary mist >f matter which appears to hide God’s man from us. The apparent fleet is due solely to the fact that, in the cinema pictures which constitute he material world, one continually secs a picture of somebody thinking strongly about another person and that other person apparently acting in accordance with the strong thought.
