I'd like to address the meditation or hypnosis issue. Some Christians meditate to bring themselves closer to god or the bible. Similarly, some occultists meditate on gem stones to become closer to them. See how I can compare two entirely different groups doing exactly the same thing? I was once taught how to meditate at church camp a few years ago and the meditation was to simply think about absolutely nothing and they had us practice this for about 15 minutes. Now that I'm an occultist I can't even count how many times I've come across the technique of thinking about nothing. It's all in the same.
Hypnosis is just altering your state of consciousness. But some Christians say altering your state of consciousness is evil because you open yourself up to demons, but children even alter their states of consciousness by spinning in circles and getting dizzy by doing this are they opening themselves up to demons? Don't answer that it's a rhetorical question

. Also when you sleep, assuming you do, your brain goes into many different states, so by this logic by going to sleep you'd be opening yourself up to demons.*chuckles* They are simple misunderstandings. That's a great question.
