There, she was said to consult with Apollo, and would deliver healing words and wisdom to those who sought her out.
FRANZ MESMER PSYCHOLOGY CRACK
There was a ritual one oracle performed in her temple, which was built over a crack in the earth that leaked an intoxicating fume. Oracles in Ancient Greece would provide a similar service, offering fortunes and healing words. People would leave with their illnesses cured. There, people would come to ingest herbs, recite prayers for a few hours, and would then be led to a darkened room where they would be guided into a dream state, and the cure would be revealed to them. 5,000 years ago, the Temple of Imhotep in Saqqaura, Egypt was on the forefront of hypnosis. While the name hypnotism is relatively new, the concept of relaxation and trance-like states are actually very, very old. If you’ve ever had a live demonstration of it with audience volunteers, there’s a huge chance that some or all of them are faking it just based on how wildly stupid some of the suggestions are.
FRANZ MESMER PSYCHOLOGY FULL
You can’t be suggested to believe the room is full of wild animals if you’re actually telling yourself “nah, that’s stupid.” Certain people are more “suggestible” than others, and yes, there are definitely fakers. Now hypnotism only really works if you want it to, which is the most important fact.
You can be suggested to, I don’t know, quit smoking, study harder, quit biting your nails– stuff like that. What it essentially boils down to is relaxing, and putting yourself in a state of being easily “suggested,” as they say.
While there’s some serious myth behind it, like the hollywood idea that you can be turned into some kind of zombie, it’s actually a lot more clinical than all that. Hypnosis, sometimes dismissed as a pseudoscience, is a widely discussed topic of psychology, another thing people think is pseudoscience. Eventually I decided that I’d rather spend my adult life not eating baked beans under a bridge, but by then I had already taken a handful of classes that touched on hypnosis. I spent two years in college as a psychology major.
