Hypnosis is a meaningless term. We go through altered states all day long (night too). If youre afraid of hypnosis because of religeous reasons, better stay awake 24 hrs. a day. Of course if you do that you'll start to hallucinate,voila!! another altered state. If you believe you cant be hypnotized, you've just hypnotized yourself to believe that too. "And so it goes." (Kurt Vonnegut)
