To Luce: When a toddler, newborn to three, get traumatized seriously enough to go into shock, that state of shock is exactly like a state of hypnosis. This may be due to the fact that the toddler's brain is not developed yet. If the family is as dysfunctional as mine, the they continue to traumatize the toddler throughout the first five years of life. Repeatedly causing the toddler to go into that state of shock. Over time, personalities develop within that state of shock. Once a toddler is traumatized seriously enough to go into shock, any subsequent traumas can easily trigger the child to go back into that state of shock. The subsequent traumas do not have to be severe because the toddler has already been damaged.

I have been thinking about this since 1992. Dissociation, shock and hypnosis are related states of mind. They are also related to REM dream state. If the Feds map the human brain like President Obama has proposed then we will understand these states better.

When a soldier gets shell shocked, his conscious mind is not there while he is in shock. Those people with severe PTSD, were very close to going into shock. I have talked about this with the Vets at the VA.
