Surely we are all in hypnosis

We're all in hypnosis, we're fist-deep in it. You may be thinking, "Huh, hypnosis? I'm not in hypnosis. I'm awake. I see the world all clear'. Well, then you know you are in the middle of it, because there is nothing there at all. There is nothing outside your head. If you see things, see people walking, see people driving, or see people "thinking" something, which you then "think" something about, then you are just in the middle of it.

If you were to go out of your mind to see what is really there, there are only electromagnetic fields. That's all there is. That you have made a whole scenario out of this is your hypnosis. It's really that simple. That's not to say it's easy. You can get confused by it, but that's okay. After all, for every "Aha!" moment there is always a "Huh? If you're in that then it's no big deal, at some point that Aha will come. You're just in the middle of it.

In terms of hypnosis, the choice is vast, because you can think, do and do whatever you want. It's just what you want, of course. Do you want to get out of hypnosis altogether? Or do you just want the hypnosis that works best for you? I think - and this is my assumption - that most people want the hypnosis that works best for them. Where you just do the things you like, where you generally feel happiness and love, where you have all nice people around you. 80-90% of the time things actually just go well. Of course you always have to deal with things that don't go well like loss and grief, and it would be good if you could minimize those moments to a few percent of your life, just very occasionally. That 99% of the time things go well and 1% a little less. If you can do that, you're in a nice hypnosis. Then you're still in hypnosis, but you're doing better.

The hypnosis guru

You might say, "Every guru you know talks about a different kind of hypnosis that feels good. The gurus don't talk about "coming out of hypnosis. My blog is called Come out of Hypnosis, but really it should be called the Come into a Tasty Hypnosis. That's also what all the gurus preach: better awareness, unity, consciousness, love, peace on earth. It's all hypnosis.

Suppose you go to a higher consciousness, then you enter "unit hypnosis. That's fine too, there's nothing wrong with it. Nice even, I want to go there too. For me it's still the same as before, when I was on drugs. I was looking for the little pill that made me feel better. Now that little pill is, for example, spirituality, personal growth, good exercise, good nutrition or whatever. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with that. Why shouldn't you strive to hypnotize yourself better? Why shouldn't you strive to live your most beautiful life? This blog is part of that, too: How to get into better hypnosis. Make no mistake: it's not Come out of hypnosis. Come out of hypnosis means dying. People generally don't want to do that. By dying I mean: dying from your ego, from your future, from your past, from everything you have now.

Everyone has their own hypnosis

What I want to talk to you about is that we're all in hypnosis and it's totally fine. It's a hypnosis that people are in when they say, "I don't believe in hypnosis. It is a hypnosis when people believe that there are all forces at play that control the world. For those people it is the truth. Then, of course, you also have people who believe in the hypnosis of evolution. This of course clashes, one person says this, another says something else.

Watching a hypnosis show in which someone is hypnotized, the hypnotist may say, "From now on, you will see everyone in the room naked. The hypnotized person then sees that everyone in the room is naked. To him or her, this is the truth. Everyone around it knows it is not. This is how it works with all types of hypnosis; it is someone's truth, of which he already has the evidence to believe it. Your hypnosis is your truth. It is so for you, but not for the other person. That applies to everyone and goes infinitely far. Is that bad? No, not at all. If something doesn't work for you, know that it is therefore not the only truth.

It provides many opportunities, to think this way because there are an awful lot of possibilities. We keep inventing things: for example, first there was a universe, then we almost discovered it, and now there is a multiverse. Then we get all confused again. Now there are also many movies about the multiverse. You can live this life, of course, but you also have previous and next lives. You have parallel lives, you can travel in hypnosis, you can go to the 7 heavens. I read a book about this, which I thought was super interesting, and then I also started traveling with my guide. Well, that was my hypnosis then. Now I'm in this hypnosis and so I keep going from one hypnosis to another, which works well for me. So I want to say with this that you are not stuck.

Stuck in hypnosis

I see so many people stuck. For example, in their jobs, in their relationships, because 'that's the way it's supposed to be'. They stay somewhere, because 'that's the way it's supposed to be'. Then I think: you are not a tree. A tree that stands, it has no choice. Maybe there's a dog that pees on that tree every day, but you don't have to be peeing on you. You can leave. Now that's not easy, but it can be done. You can do that by changing your hypnosis, by changing your belief, by changing what you think is important. Especially that belief, your belief is almost the same as hypnosis. Take for instance the belief "You have to stay together until death," that can work fine for you ás long as it is nice, of course. I also want to stay with my wife until death. I believe that now, I want that now, I think that now, that is my hypnosis now. Why? Because I would like nothing better.

Changing your hypnosis

Imagine, things are no longer working in your relationship and you're thinking, 'Do I really have to stay with this until I die? Then let me die today'. Then maybe it's time to change that hypnosis, that belief. You don't have to do it. You don't have to stay with 1 person either, you can do whatever you want. What works for one person doesn't have to work for another person at all, but that's often in your head. It is your idea of the world, but the world ís your idea. So it is exactly the other way around: you can change the idea so that the world changes. It all takes place only in your head, and that is an opportunity. It is also sometimes frightening, of course: 'Is this the world I have in my head? That's interesting,' and then that gives opportunities.

Why I do hypnosis is because it's the fastest way to change anything. At least I think so, and I have tried many different things. Of course, there are many other things that work as well. Everybody finds some hypnotic thing in this world that suits them, for me it's hypnosis. I find that works well because in that hypnosis you can go back to the time when something originated, in my hypnotic past I can change something so that it is better now. Now I am experiencing that past and the future as well, there is nothing beyond that. So in the world you can change a lot, which benefits you. In this way you can improve your hypnosis. Then of course you are still not out of it, you are still not awake, you are just in another hypnosis. I personally like that.

I personally want out of hypnosis, I'm very honest about that. I'm working on that, but it's not that easy yet. When I get there, you'll hear about it. Until then, I do want to be in the most relaxed hypnosis I can imagine. Where I just have enough money, enough time, enough freedom, enough to do whatever I want. Then I want to organize that so that I have time to really get out of that. That's what I want. You may want something completely different. You may want to achieve a goal. You have something else you want to achieve, and you can then adjust your whole hypnosis to that.

How to do it. I would say: why not learn hypnosis yourself? So you can solve and achieve things on your own? Then you can shape the world around you making it more pleasant for you. I grant that to everyone. I also grant everyone their suffering, because I know that it sends you in a direction that makes things better in the end. I have also suffered enough, at least I think so. I certainly don't want to compare myself to other people, some people really suffer extremely. You can't escape suffering either, but I do think you can keep it to a minimum. Most of it takes place in your head. If you can change it there, then it also changes in the world around you.
