A few years ago me and my son went to the renaissance festival. There was a hypnotist giving a show and the audience was growing so we took a seat in the back rows. The hypnotist said that if they wanted the people in the audience could experience hypnosis and some may get hypnotized without knowing it. My son and I both decided to not be hypnotized so we didn’t do the things he was asking the group on stage to do. He said when the hypnotic state ends you will feel like this has been the best day of your life. After the show he asked people to remain seated and he went around looking people in the eye and he would put his hand on some peoples shoulder and their head would drop and they would be instantly asleep. Then he would wake them up. He didn’t look at the people in the way back rows where we were. We left the show and I was ready to see more of the festival. My son though said he didn’t feel good and wanted to leave. I was like Whaaa? We had only seen about half the stuff there. So we are on our way home in the car and out of nowhere my son say’s " This has been the best day of my life!" Again I was like Waaaa? I asked him, didn’t you say you didn’t want to be hypnotized? He said he changed his mind after the show started and started doing what the hypnotist said…It seems hypnosis skirts and blurs the free will boundaries if we ‘permit’ it.
