Mystery and Danger in Hypnotism

RELATED TO MESMERISM

Spiritualism has a close connection with mesmerism. Indeed, spiritualists say that the difference between them just lies in this, that in the case of mesmerism the operator is a mortal being, whereas in spiritualism the operator is a disembodied human spirit, with a spiritual body instead of one of flesh and blood.

This subject is not to be lightly dealt with, and not at all to be experimented in except by those prepared to treat it in a serious, inquiring, and scientific spirit.

By means of mesmerism or hypnotism – you may call it which you please – the mind and body of an individual are influenced by a mysterious power proceeding from another person, and “most thinking people,” it has been well said, “will hesitate before they run the risk of submitting themselves to an influence which may end in the surrender of their will to another, the annihilation of their very identity”
