From my point of view, hypnosis is certainly an art. If hypnosis were a science, it would definitely be taught in universities and medical schools around the world. In fact, research on the subject would have already gathered a definitive truth about how hypnosis works. Thanks to this research, you could go on stage with a script and mesmerize the audience. In fact, many stage hypnotists dream that they can just walk up on stage, hypnotize everyone instantly, and then wake people up a few hours later. Then the hypnotist would simply tell everyone that they had seen an extraordinary spectacle.
Hypnosis, however, is an art. As with any art, the results depend on the skill and technique of the artist. The artist manipulates a given medium to create results. However, you need a natural aptitude to create amazing works.
It’s no secret that anyone can paint when it comes to the basics. Monkeys have even been shown to paint and splatter some oil on a canvas. Both man and animals can understand the basics. But does that mean you’re doing something right? Of course, he doesn’t.
Hypnosis is different. The medium has his own mind and can determine his own journey.
When we see a true master of the art at work, he or she prepares, plans, and puts the basics in order. At this point, the medium can flow. A true artist can follow the preparation of it. However, the artist can also follow the ebb and flow of feedback from the imagination. They are able to respond to their own emotions during the creative process.
If you put paintings under X-rays, you will see different versions that have been followed leading up to the completed painting. But in cold science, people never create on the fly. They just don’t have that kind of flexibility.
Hypnosis is an art and that means it requires a great deal of flexibility. In my opinion, it also requires creativity. On the other hand, a screenwriter uses a script written by someone he doesn’t even know. This person is clearly a “scriptnotist” not a hypnotist.
After all, you will never see a painting in one of the best museums in the world that was created by a paint-by-numbers set.
