Hypnosis and the Bible

Bible has always been a very significant book of verses for man kind. It has influenced people greatly and it has always been able to teach the human race various important aspects of life. This powerful book of god has also depicted various scenes where it can be proved that hypnotism was used to manifest various actions. It cannot be concluded that bible supported or proposed hypnotism and its techniques but it has mentioned many instances where the use of hypnotic techniques can be proved. You may hear people disliking hypnotism calling it as a sin but in bible through various instances it can be proved that hypnosis was a part of concluding or completing many things.

For instance in the book of genesis it was mentioned like this-  “So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon man, and while he slept, took one of his ribs and closed up in its place with flesh, and the rib which God took from man. He made woman and brought her to the man.” This incident demonstrates the use of techniques of hypnotism for taking out ribs from a man’s body for not giving any pain to him. Here hypnotism was used as anesthesia so that the man feels no pain. Similar instances like this one also proves that hypnotism was used in those times are when in the bible it was mentioned “Laying on of hand” depicts that some of the many techniques of hypnotism were used. 

It can not be still proved that is bible or the super natural powers are against the use of techniques of hypnotism by humans or are supportive of this act. The point that is strong for conclusion is no matter how badly hypnotic techniques were used in the gone era, today it is the key to many of our problems. May be it caused damage to a few but it must have been purely because they did not interpret the techniques properly.
