Some sector of medicine is beginning to use certain alternative techniques to fight the disease. There is a group of doctors who prefer the use of hypnosis to the use of anesthesia. They say it has fewer side effects. Psychiatry, in the hands of Freud and Jung, also proclaimed the benefits of this technique.
From the spiritual point of view, everything that causes us to lose consciousness or leave our conscience in the hands of someone other than us, should weigh very carefully and only accept these techniques in cases of pressing urgency and need.
The use of hypnosis can uncover situations that really leave the doctor perplexed and can favor whether we question the reality or not of past lives. Let's look at this case:
In Mt Orab, Ohio, on May 10, 1970, Rev. Caroll Jay, ordained minister of the United Methodist Church, hypnotized Dolores, his wife, forty-seven years old. The reverend was a big fan of hypnotism, so the situation was completely normal. Dolores had a bad back, and they expected hypnosis to relieve her a little. During the session, when the husband asked if it still hurt, Dolores replied: Nein that it is not in German.
The funny thing is that neither of them spoke German. Intrigued the Reverend Jay returned to hypnotize his wife three days later and tried to deepen what had happened. When she was in a trance, she encouraged her to speak in German, and so she did. He asked her questions in English and she answered in German. Since he did not understand it, Carroll turned to some German-speaking friends and asked them to listen to the sessions he had recorded on a tape.
In a state of hypnosis, Dolores spoke German competently, that is, she knew how to answer in German, whether she was asked questions in English or in German.
The previous lives evoked in hypnosis states have aroused great curiosity in the public and have been the subject of great editorial successes. They are less useful for scientific study because, as is well known, a hypnotized person is very suggestible and intends to please anyone who asks, and also because the details about the times and places of the Common people who lived centuries ago are few and of little use when seeking confirmation.
Ian Stevenson, a medical doctor, is a professor of psychiatry at the University of Virginia. Following the publication of a letter from Reverend Jay about his wife's case, Stevenson contacted the Jay marriage. Stevenson calls the phenomenon of speaking a language "xenoglossia" without having learned it. Stevenson speaks German, and first he made sure that Dolores responded truly and consistently in German. Then the couple did everything they could to show that neither of them had knowledge of that language, and they even signed an affidavit about it. Later, Mrs. Jay would submit to the lie detector in New York City, where she showed that she believed she was telling the truth when she claimed that she had never studied German.
Stevenson also considers the possibility of learning a language telepathically if spoken by another person. But in his book Unlearned Language he states: To speak an intelligible language, it is not enough to know a limited vocabulary; It is also necessary to understand what another person says in that same language and know how to answer appropriately. So telepathy, even if it existed, in these cases would have nothing to do with competent xenoglossia.
After his first publication on the subject, in 1974, he received many letters related to similar events. The uniqueness of Stevenson's work lies in its rigor. He resorted to native inhabitants to check if the subjects knew how to speak a foreign language and published the transcript of the recorded conversations. He thoroughly reviewed every aspect of the past, going back to childhood and schooling and talking with friends, family and neighbors. He has done everything possible to rule out fraud and oblivion and believes in the integrity of the subjects.
