Hypnosis is a natural phenomenon. It's not nearly as powerful or interesting as you think.
Purposefully opening yourself up to suggestion is not dangerous so long as you know beforehand what you're doing. Where people got in trouble with hypnosis in the past is that they assumed that all images brought on by hypnosis were real memories. This has since been proven to be false; hypnosis can create false memories, but only so far as you believe them to be memories (you don't need hypnosis to create false memories, after all).
And, hypnosis only works if the recipient is willing and susceptible.
You can get the exact same experience by either having a strong imagination or being completely insane. Don't pretend like there's something mystical about it at all. So stop acting crazy.
Thhhannnk youuu! lol
Rick: Thaaank you!!
Shyanne: We agree?

Life is like a book, each day is a new page. You have the pen in hand, now what are you going to write? Are you going to write a horror, romance, a fantasy? But write carefully, for you are using a pen and pages cannot be erased.
I am glad you two came to an agreement. I seriously doubt that this actually would mess up your mind that much, making you go insane and what'not. But sure, I do believe there might be something out there that is harmful/supposed to harm you, you never know what us human come up with.
But whenever I do something that involves my mind, I am very careful, to keep myself san- waaait a second... I'm not sane on any level <.<. To keep myself who I am. There, that's better :3

That's why we loves him! But like I said, ppl go into trance everyday without realizing it. Being bored in a meeting or in school staring at the chalkboard but not seeing it. XD I doodled all the time in high school in the margins XD I'd get in trouble all the time by my parents for it..

I can vouch for that last statement. I have a strong enough imagination to imagine being a fur-bearing mammal, and I can "feel" appendages that don't exist, like tails, ears on the top of the head, sharp teeth, paws, differently-shaped bones, and etc.
I'm still a little skeptical about hypnosis but the above only gives me a legitimate reason not to bother with something like that--it's unnecessary to reach the final result.

But while you're in a doodle trance, you're teacher can't tell you to act like a chicken slight difference

You say 'feel'... is that only when you want to or a constant sort of thing. (/me is trying to attune a sort of mental radar...)
Anyway... I tried the one on Newgrounds, and it failed epicly. Though I think I was paying more attention to the swirly circle than the guys voice...

It's only when I want to, of course. I'd be worried if it were a constant thing.... Besides, that way I can mix and match whatever it is I "am".... The other way I'd be stuck in one mode....
Mercury is also a natural phenomenon but I wouldn't recommend drinking it.
I'm personally staying away from this junk, 1. Cos I'm not that hardcore a furry, and 2. Anything that makes you see, hear, or remember things that aren't there, or make you act in a way you aren't meant to is just plain creepy, not to mention the possible side effects of it. I'm no expert on hypnosis, but very few of the rest of us on here are, so I'd advise you guys not to try messing with your brains.

You heard the man, don't do anything with your brains
I'm sure the cold hand of science will be able to overcome his magical powers
lol, funny. I've heard of this thing before. I do this sort of thing on a regular basis, but on a much further level... (and for non-furry reasons which will not be discussed here.)

Me, Tobee and Darkhearts all tried a file simultaneously and I don't feel any different. The file was a mystery file for furries, and in the file the guy says "After wards you wont remember what this file is about, blah blah" but we all remembered lol... I won't describe what it's about, incase anyone wanted to try it...

Just cause that part failed doesn't mean it did overall... I'm still wary of touching my tap lamp, cause the file (trying not to be too spoliery) said/does something about a certain animal and their playfulness.

hehe well that is the misconception, the whole "when I snap my fingers you will be a chicken thing" real hypnosis is not like that lol.

In other words, it's like a game. A mind game. At least in my oppinion.
Oh it's a game. I like games. Played one last night. Mortal Kombat 3.
I remember that... And the Fox-News-Freakout about it...
