Karma of Hypnosis

Is hypnosis, whether done by another or oneself, ever dangerous? Are there karmic consequences of using hypnosis on another when that person is not aware of it?

Hilarion: Hypnosis is merely a tool for man to work with. No tool is good or bad in itself; always it is the motive and the purpose within the heart of the user which determines whether a tool brings good or evil. A hammer can build, and it can destroy. A knife in the hands of a great surgeon can save lives-in the hands of a murderer it can slay. So it is with hypnosis. This technique has great possibilities for mankind, for it can unlock many of the buried memories of past lives which have blocked progress in the present experience and it can provide the gifts of self approbation and confidence where these are lacking.

But, on the negative side, it can be used to enslave others whose minds and whose resistance are not strong, just as it was used in Atlantis. Indeed, many of the therapists who employ the hypnotic technique in their work today are the same ones who abused this great gift in Atlantis, and who are seeking now to make up their failings by using it again. But, this time to give back the health and the happiness which once they took from their fellow man.

As to the matter of karma, it is important to understand that this comes from action. Negative karma derives from actions which harm or limit another in his development. Whether the other is aware of the hypnotic effect has little to do with the question of karma. What is important is whether harm was done, and also what was the motive in the heart of the one who used hypnosis without the conscious knowledge of the subject.
