Quote by: Technosoul  While researching another project I came across this article called Hypnotic Christanity?.
This article attempts to show the difference between the brainwashed believers and those who acturally have faith in Truth.
It seems like a topic worthy of debate, whatcha' think? Hypnotic Christianity? |
Technosoul why just Christianity, most faiths use ritualised repetiveness, either through prayers, chants or annouciations of religious text.
I wonder if this is a comfort factor, and a form of self hypnosis. Rather than question and discover which takes a great deal of effort, those who repeat get their religious upliftment purely from the ritual because it is normal for them, it is like a childs favoured toy or comforter.
The worshippers mainly require a priest(ess) to lead them through these rituals, to heighten their senses and uplift them, then bring them back to the sesnation of being back. Is this a pack thing, the humans needs as a social animal making the collective hypnosis easier to perform?
Has this been the power of the ancients adapted from the local tribal wiseman, sage, druid etc. Does this need for hypnosis lie deep in manys psychic, probably triggering some kind of endorphic reaction?
Good subject Techno :)
