Extra-normal Capabilities Within a Trance State

A person's extra-normal capabilities within a trance state include:

• Amnesia: selective repression of memory
  
• Hypermnesia: selective recall of former experiences
  
• Post-hypnotic suggestion: "the execution, at some later time, of instructions and suggestions given in a trance and intended to become a part, either interpolated or integrated, of a later activity" Erickson
  
• Dissociation of awareness: “a selective constriction of awareness which excludes all but the hypnotist as a source of stimulation" Andre M. Weitzenhoffer, General Techniques of Hypnotism
  
•  Anesthesia/analgesia: loss of sensation (of pain or pleasure) while conscious
  
• Positive and negative hallucinations: seeing objects which are not physically present; not seeing objects which are physically present
  
• Telepathy: communication from one mind to another by extrasensory means
  
• Clairvoyance/clairaudience: the ability to discern (see and hear) entities not present to the senses
  
• Telekinesis: the ability to move objects without contact or other physical means
  
• Mind projection: focusing of awareness on current, previous or future time periods and living during those time periods
  
• Physiological effect (selected):
  • causing a blister when told under hypnosis that they experience a burn
    
  • correcting eye defects
    
  • shutting off pain
  
  

     All these seemingly unbelievable capabilities of the subliminal mind have been attested to by reputable and trustworthy researchers, starting with a French commission in the nineteenth century, and by independent researchers in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries as well.
