- Dr, Krippner.
In response to our brief correspondence over a year ago, I just finished reading 2 Doug Boyd books, and the reference to you therein reminded me to follow-up from my initial inquiry a year ago (which had initially arisen during a brief conversation in ABQ. at the Grateful Dead symposium in 2008) where I had asked if you might still have any contacts or recommendations regarding my interest in seeking a genuine Native American Medicine person.
Is it still a relavent avenue to pursue your assistant Steve Hart for this information, as you had suggested below ? It was foolish of me to wait over a full year on this.
"....At 1:12pm on February 22, 2008, Stanley Krippner said… Give me a clue. Did I recommend a man or woman? A shaman or a medium or a channeler? I would suggest you write my assistant Steve Hart shart@saybrook.edu and ask for my list of "healers" from around the US...... "
Thank you for your time on this.

- Dr. Brain? LOL!!! Yeah, I wish we had an edit feature here.
Dr. Krippner, you say, "... the Bible does not mention hypnosis."
But the Greek New Testament does use the word 'hypnos', sleep, in Matthew 26: 43.
Interestingly, in Acts 10:10 and 11:5, the King James version, the Bible also uses the word 'trance' (the Greek word is 'ekstasis'--meaning to stand outside oneself.)
Initially, Peter was not as open to the Gentiles as was Paul. After being criticized by Paul for being his narrow world-view, Peter apparently agreed to go and pray about it. In Acts it is said that his prayer was so deep that he fell into trance. In this state Peter gained the insight to start being universal in his outlook.
In Acts 22:17, Paul tells us that it was in the trance state that he was inspired to reach out to the Gentiles.
THE TRANCE AND CONSCIOUSNESS
IMO, the trance state is one of full consciousness, or awareness, which enables us to understand the nature of the ego and help it become a servant rather than the destructive master of our total behaviour.
In, A NEW EARTH--Awakening to Your Life's Purpose, Eckhart Tolle (The Power of the Now) writes about how urgent it is for human kind to to arise to this new kind of consciousness. We MUST awaken for our madness or we will destroy the world.
As Mark Twain put it: "When we remember that we are all mad, all mysteries disappear and life is explained."

- Rev King asks about hypnosis. In the first place hypnosis is not "mind control." All hypnosis, in my opinion, is basically self-hypnosis. In the second place, the Bible does not mention hypnosis. The word was not coined until Dr. Brain came along, as you note. Once again, your fundamentalist Christian friends act out of ignorance. Find yourself some other friends; there are plenty of Christians I know who think the way that you do, and who are better suited to handle to critical spiritual problems that face the world today.

Are you familiar with whoever is managing Project Disclosure?

- ABOUT MY INTEREST IN HYPNOSIS
============================
Often I have often been asked by fundamentalist Christians to defend my interest in hypnosis: Doesn't the Bible condemn this sort of mind control? It sounds so weird. I don't like the thought of others getting control of my mind."
People having real problems will say: "Please, help me. Take over my mind. No one could possible make me feel worse than I now feel. Go ahead, have a go!"
Both comments above show a great misunderstanding of what it is all about.
================================================
To throw some light on the issue I always point out that Dr. James Braid, a surgeon--who invented the word hypnosis (based on the Greek for sleep), in 1843--later admitted that 'hypnosis' was a misnomer. It really did not describe what he later discovered the phenomenon to be all about--our coming to consciousness. He wrote that he wanted to change the name to 'monoideism'--the ability to focus on, pay attention to, one idea. He was more interested in helping people wake up to the power within them, not in putting them to sleep (hypnos). I sometimes like to refer to this awakening of the spirit, or state of being born-again, as pneumatherapy--healing of the spirit to heal the psyche (mind) and the soma (body)
And speaking of awakening to, or knowing, the truth which which Jesus said would make us free points to a growing interest in an early group of Christians known as
THE GNOSTICS
================
With the modern emphasis on the value of science, and its pursuit of provable knowledge, the ancients Gnostics would be very much at home in modern times. They put a great deal of emphasis on the value of knowledge. Recent discoveries made by scholars regarding Gnosticism has given us a greater appreciation of the value of gnostic ideas. For them, knowledge--such as comes from spiritual insight--rather than faith, was the key to life's mysteries. I like to think of a sighted faith, not a blind one.
AUTONOSIS
=============
In the light of this, perhaps, instead of hypnosis, a good word for the process of reaching consciousness would be, 'autonosis'--a self-induced state of consciousness in which we are open to receive all the knowledge we need to be at-one-ment with GOD.

- April originally interviewed me for a more mainstream publication. But the interview was too wild for them, and they turned it down. Then we went to Shaman's Drum and they picked it right up.

- Stanley, about hypnosis and the ministry of healing: Perhaps you have you heard of the work of the late Canon the Rev. Joseph Wittkofski? He was my mentor in the use of hypnosis. In 1964, encouraged by Allen Spraggett, then religion editor of the Toronto Star, I invited Father Joe, as we called him, to speak at my church in Scarborough, east Toronto. He spoke on: The Pastoral Use of Hypnotic Technique, which is the title of his book on the subject.
Interestingly, at that time in Ontario, hypnosis was proscribed by the law. It was placed under the authority of the medical profession. Because of this, the story my interest, and that of others like me, made the front pages of the major papers and other media. It created quite a stir at the time and we were cautioned not go against the law. This event triggered a commission. Eventually we were successful in getting significant changes made to the law. But that is another story.
When I told my family doctor about my interest in hypnosis and asked him if he would use it on my daughter, he told me: "I know very little about psychology and nothing about hypnosis." He agreed with me that the law--which, by the way, had been passed and pushed through by a certain doctor with his own agenda, in camera--made no sense.
My doctor was wise enough to add: "Your daughter is very ill with lung problems. I am working under the guidance of the allergy specialists at Sick Children's Hospital. Meanwhile, anything you can do using what you call "meditative prayer"--a term I used at the time--"to help her recover will get no negative comments from me. "
Inspired by this, I began to work on Catherine that evening.
This prompts me to ask: What is the best way to write up the case study? How much of Catherine's story should I include here?
There is a five page report which I wrote for an anthology, EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCES--Personal accounts of the paranormal in Canada (1989), by John R. Colombo.

Catherine and her husband, Wayne Adams, are both well-know artists. They live on a floating home near Tofino, British Columbia.

- Stanley:
Were you a consulting editor for PASSAGES: A guide for pilgrims of the mind (1972)? I have it.
Since, my student days in the 1940's--1950's I have been a student of psychology, religion and healing and the practical application of what I call pneumatology. [ www.mta.ca, Atlantic School of Theology, Halifax and Boston University-- post graduate studies. ]
In 1964 I started giving the first of series of lectures--still doing some work in it--in what I then called pneumatology--the study of the spirit (I introduced the subject to Wikipedia). Pneumatology, in my opinion, is the mother of psychology.
Based on this I started using what I called pneumatherapy--the spiritual use of hypnotic technique--hypnosis without the hocus pocus. It helped my daughter, as a child, recover from a deadly lung condition. She is now a health 52 year old.
Good to meet you here.
