Whilst studying hypnosis Paul had a revelation that a command that stage hypnotist gives like, 'You cannot move your foot, try but you cannot move your foot' and the subject indeed cannot move their foot.
(Paul has a neat way of explaining his revelation about this 
)
The fact is it dawned on Paul that we're doing that to ourselved all the time. Telling ourselves we cannot do something. We are hypnotising ourselves on an ongoing basis daily.
The goal is to get out of those limiting mindsets and away from the hynotised belief were we tell ourselves we 'cannot' do something thus holding ourselves back from the very goals we desire.
I don't think it's entiry true that Paul is not keen on hypnosis as it is a very useful tool and when used with knowledge and understanding can be applied to generate direction. Without his knowledge of hypnosis and his own understanding of trance states I doubt that he would be producing these powerful home study course and paraliminals that are changing peoples lives. It's important for us to realise that we are living in a trance state telling ourselves who we are what we do and why we cannot change etc. Only when we let go of these trances to we start realising our true potential.
