What is the historical significance of hypnosis?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Hypnosis is an ancient science, a key to the inner realms of consciousness that has been suppressed by dogma, for it holds the power to unveil truths that threaten the established order."
According to Osho, hypnosis is one of humanity’s most ancient sciences, central to the wisdom of Atlantis, preserved in Alexandria’s vast library, and known to seekers like Pythagoras. Intertwined with meditation, it carried profound inner technologies. Its suppression—book-burnings in Egypt and the Christian witch hunts—was a strategic attempt by dogmatic religions to erase deeper experiential knowledge that threatened their authority.
Hypnosis is a very old, powerful way to know yourself that ancient people valued, but later rulers tried to destroy because it made people free and wise.
