So how then does that state of being in that calm, you know, meditative state? Why is that so powerful? What is it about that state that makes a difference in the way we think?

Of course, because it lowers our critical thinking mind.

And so when we're in a state of hypnosis, we are a lot more suggestible.

And so, for example, this is why so many companies will advertise to us on social media or on TV because we're in a state of hypnosis.

When we're scrolling through social media, we're in a state of hypnosis and we're a lot more suggestible.

It doesn't mean we're being controlled.

And so, for example, how many times have you seen an advertisement on social media or on TV and simply said, no, that's not for me? You know, that doesn't mean, again, we're like, okay, it doesn't mean every single time we see an ad on social media or on TV, we're like, okay, yes, master, right? No, it just means that we're simply more suggestible and we're a lot more open to suggestibility.

So then what happened? How did you kind of take control back eventually?
