I recently posted about how homosexuals are living in a trace when they engage in abdominal behavior. But I think we are all living in a trace, and that our world is truly based on make-believe. Meditate on this and see the profound implications!

Here’s a link that also suggests that we all live in trances:

This idea is one which some people use to suggest that we aren’t really culpable or responsible for our actions, and this is absolutely false. One could argue that we are living in a trance compared to how we could live if Adam had not fallen, but that is beside the point. We are here, with free wills and intellects, and our mission and purpose is to find and follow God.

Is abdominal behavior abominable? Yes, but if you are quiet about it, no one will know it was you.😛

The Sneetches know.

2352 To form an equitable judgment about the subjects’ moral responsibility and to guide pastoral action, one must take into account the affective immaturity, force of acquired habit, conditions of anxiety or other psychological or social factors that lessen, if not even reduce to a minimum, moral culpability.

The CCC seems to strongly imply that we are not always moral culpable for our secual behavior, which goes against your claim.

Rubbish. I am not in a trance. I am wide awake to the sensuous and emotional experiences I am enjoying. I know exactly what I’m doing, and why.

Rubbish.
 
In my short life, I have found that hypnosis is very influenced by new age ideas. They make claims that we cannot yet contradict because we do not know exactly why hypnosis happens. It is in this way that they can tell us that we are living in trances, and it is why most people cannot convince them because it is all just “what you feel”.

I once booked to see a hypnotist to quit smoking. He was giving me the spiel on hypnotherapy and how it could do just about anything. When he made the claim he believed it could cure amputees and if they really really believed they could regenerate the missing limb, then they could, I made my excuses and left. What a load of bunk.

You are sleeping; you do not want to believe!

Yes, it’s suppose to be ‘abominable.’ That’s my spell checker’s fault!

You know very well it is a Freudian slip (parapraxis), Robert, induced by your being in a trance! Isn’t this idea of living in a trance-like state of illusion similar to Hinduism?

“Do you hear that Mr Anderson? That is the sound of inevitability. That is the sound of your Death.”

“My name is Neo”.

Sounds like the Matrix. There’s also been a few Twilight Zone episodes and science fiction novelists play with this concept. Even Shakespeare said “All the world’s a stage”.

Intellectual curiosity should be healthy but we must remain grounded, at least with one foot on the ground… while our heads are in the clouds…

No mate. I’m wide awake and know a nine bob note when I see one.

How do you know you’re wide awake? Face it, human awareness is very limited. One ring of the doorbell and our concentration is immediately broken. Human cognition is puny.

This is exactly what New Age’ers think. After this, they try to find a way to get out of it, usually by inducing a trance anyway. Then they are drawn into finding their “higher self” or “spirit guide”, and it is all downhill from here.

Seriously, don’t encourage this idea any longer. I know it is fun to be like “are you sure you aren’t sleeping?” just to sound like you are in the Matrix, but stop. It could lead you to serious sin.

Trance can be explained as a state in which cognition loops, reducing conscious response to stimuli.

You’re wide awake if, when you hear the doorbell, you immediately think oh, there’s the doorbell wonder who that is, and get up to answer the door. How much more wide awake could you possibly be?

Is sexual behavior done in a trance? Is driving a car done subconsciously? Is forgetting to buy cat food an outcome of a mini-trance? Again, the doorbell example is just meant as an example of our limited awareness.

Immediate memory (working memory) in humans is between 5-7 bits of information. This is an amazing fact! It’s like being able to hold a seven digit phone number in in our heads, but no room for anything else, provided the information does not get transformed into short-term or long-term memory. Again, this points to a very limited sense of awareness. Compare the working memory of humans with that of modern computers, which can usually hold 8mb bits of information.

Also keep in mind that activation of one part of the brain can inhibit another part of the brain. Sleep, for example, is actually a rapid process whereby an activation of one part of the brain inhibits another part of the brain.
 
Real life is lived outside of the mind. The brain is designed to react to stimuli not create it. If you lived your life in a trance then you couldn’t have an effect on others. Furthermore, humans couldn’t be born into this world without the actions of others. Creation can only happen outside of a “trance”.

The ‘self’ is an illusion based on a trance. You certainly can influence others while in a trance!
