"In any case, hypnosis is merely an agreement between the subject and the operator that they will fantasize together, nothing more. It may well have some limited value as a psychiatric tool, but it's not a "power," it's not a "force," it's a role-playing game, and only highly emotional persons will react as Ms. Howarth did."

If you can do past life regression and you have no doubt that they are valid, then that means reincarnation is a fact. If it's a fact, then we ought to be able to find SOME evidence for it outside of using hypnotism.
If hypnotism is more then a parlor trick and past life regression is real, why are you getting pissed off at me? My not believing in something isn't going to make it untrue. I think you already doubt its validity and are simply lashing out.

I am only lashing out at you because right away you say its bullshit, which I understand most people don't believe it to begin with. I don't try to push reincarnation onto anyone, but as far as hypnosis goes it is widely accepted in even mainstream psychology, which is how I got started in it as a psych major in college. If you understood how the conscious and subconscious mind worked you would realize that it makes complete sense. There are many myths about hypnosis which maybe has caused you to doubt is validity, such as a person under hypnosis can be made to do things they normally wouldnt do, or that they are completely unaware of whats going on, none of thats true. All hypnosis does is bypass the conscious mind to get to the subconscious.
