Hi objtrbit,

The origin of this "test" is way back before I was at school in the ice age. There was a "control" keeping watch over respirations etc while a "reader" read out the progression to the "subject" who had been placed into a light hypnotic state (about a 20 on the scale).

It was used to fathom the subjects subconscious thought patterns and their possible career path at that age (in this case 15 years of age), and how they viewed themselves and their self esteem and confidence, without their conscious mind controlling the answers.

We had a great time with this and we modified it a little to enable us to almost levitate (lift off the ground to a height of about 12 to 14 inches) with only the fingers of the control, an observer and reader holding us up.

We got caught and got into SO much trouble. Still was worth what we learned. Not saying how we modified it though. With time and age I realised how wrong we were to do that and what problems it could create being used by someone who wasn't qualified to hypnotise, especially at that age. It is akin to opening pandoras box.

Thanks for bringing some of my chilldhood back
