We don’t see ourselves every day as hypnotised in the things we do, but I think that’s because we don’t understand hypnosis well. Hypnosis is suggestion in its purest form. Suggestion is desires and beliefs. Society is literally made out of desires and beliefs. Beliefs are temporarily hardened desires. Even rationality and reason are just beliefs, desires. And it’s not other people hypnotising us, it’s the ideas or beliefs themselves.
