The Dangers of Hypnotism
By T.
A man who writes "professor" in front of his name advertises in an Eastern paper to teach hypnotism by mail. Hypnotism is becoming quite a topic for study, and thousands are taking it up. But before jumping into it people should consider what they are doing. The subject, to be hypnotized, must absolutely surrender his mind and will to the hypnotist. This is a very dangerous thing to do. There is a fallen angel who then steps in to form the connecting link between you and the man who hypnotizes you. There has been a great deal of so-called "scientific investigation" of this subject, but the true scientific fact is that Satan is at the bottom of all hypnotism. He may not figure personally in every individual case, but he is seeking to lead the world into his realm of mysterious mystification so that he can sweep it by his great delusions prepared for these last days. Curiosity may lead one to want to "investigate" hypnotism, or the desire to go about the country as a hypnotist and entice people to spend their money to see his "marvelous power," may come up as a strong temptation, but it is best to let the subject entirely alone. Make a careful study of what the Bible says concerning the deceptions of Satan, and it will help to dissipate idle curiosity concerning the many hidden mysteries that we are being urged to investigate in these days.
