Spiritualized, Not Hypnotized

GRANT C. BUTLER

A hypnotist once told me: "I never hypnotize people. I only suggest. They hypnotize themselves."

How many of us are hypnotized each day without realizing it? How many of us accept hypnotic suggestions like these each day: we live in a material body, subject to illness and disease; our health is dependent upon the weather, or certain foods, or a proper economic environment; our future is determined by forces outside our control, such as the stars or world politics? There is a sure defense against false suggestions of every kind, and it is established by spiritualizing thought. By lifting it above the false beliefs of life in matter. By daily, hourly watching at the gate of consciousness to admit only God's pure angel messages. By consistently recognizing that since God is the one and only Mind, infinite good, all knowing Truth, there is no other mind from which we could derive fearful, tense, disease-laden, or frustrated thoughts.

Since divine Mind is omnipresent, there can be no other mind to tempt, tantalize, or hypnotize us into believing something untrue about ourselves. The recognition that man is the perfect idea of God, at one with God and always controlled by Him, constitutes a certain defense against hypnotic suggestions.
