September 7, 2024 What is Hypnosis? Hypnosis is a mental state of focused attention, heightened suggestibility, and deep relaxation. Hypnosis involves a trance-like state in which a person becomes less judgemental and more open to suggestions. Hypnosis can make it easier to influence emotions, perceptions, and thoughts that may lead to different suggested behaviors.  How is someone hypnotized?

September 5, 2024 Can AI help cure mental illnesses? Yes, that is the hope. Mental illnesses are very common. They all have a physical cause in the brain.

August 24, 2024 Was historical Jesus schizophrenic? The idea that the historical Jesus may have had schizophrenia is speculative. Schizophrenia can be seen as a gift of experiencing a virtual reality. Said alternate reality may be given a divine character interpretation. However, there is no empirical evidence and no medical records to confirm that historical Jesus was in fact schizophrenic. That is, although it is said that Jesus heard the voice of God, saw lights or spirits, and believed that he was divine, there is no way to prove that Jesus actually experienced those hallucinations or actually believed the delusional divine ideas of the self attributed to him in the gospel.  1.
