I believe that the subconscious is the record keeper of the mind,
the equivalent of the most powerful supercomputer. The subconscious
mind records everything that has ever happened in a person's life. This
is why using hypnosis for obtaining all kinds of information about any
subject works because a link is made with their subconscious.
For
example, using hypnosis for information about a subject's history could
reveal every aspect of what happened at his or her twelfth birthday
party, including the kind of cake served, who attended, the presents
they received, etc. The subconscious records every tiny and seemingly
insignificant thing that happens on any given day. If one particular day
in a subject's life can be examined in such detail, imagine the
information that could be discovered about the pivotal events that shape
a person's life.
Since the subconscious records everything that
happens to a person, at any given moment you are being bombarded by
thousands of bits of information: sights, sounds, smells, and tastes, to
name but a few. If you were consciously aware of all this, you would be
overwhelmed and unable to function. Yet the subconscious is always
aware and continuously recording and storing this information.
Therefore, using hypnosis for gathering information is as limitless as
the vast store of information within each of us.
The subconscious
not only records everything that has happened to a person in this
lifetime, but everything that has ever happened to them in all their
past lives, as well as their existences in the spirit state. When I use
hypnosis for uncovering information about a subject, I target a specific
area or problem to ask their subconscious about, to avoid being flooded
with irrelevant data. The first thing to determine is, although some of
this information might be interesting to the subject for curiosity's
sake, what purpose does it serve in solving problems in their present
lifetime?
This leads us to a mistake that many hypnotists make.
They see no value in taking the person to a past life at all, unless it
is just for curiosity or enjoyment (although many of these past lives
are far from joyful). By practicing hypnosis for gathering valuable
information about a subject, I take the person to the previous life that
is most relevant or appropriate to the problems in their present
lifetime.
By utilizing hypnosis for past life regression, I am
always surprised by the results. Whether the subject's past life was
mundane (I reckon probably 90% of them are), or they were living in an
ancient civilization, or experienced life on other planets or in other
dimensions, invaluable information is readily available if you know how
to ask for it.
