Embark with me, David Wright, on an enthralling expedition through the vast and mystical realm of hypnosis, where myths of ancient gods and the wisdom of historic influencers converge to reveal the secrets of the mind. Our episode unwraps the enigmatic history of this psychological phenomenon, right from its beginnings in the temples of Egypt and Greece to the mesmerizing advancements in the science behind it. As we traverse through time, I'll share tales of the mythical gods Hypnos and Somnus, whose very names have inspired the terminology we use today, and introduce you to the early pioneers like Wong Tai and Avicenna, who distinguished hypnosis from mere sleep with their groundbreaking insights.
Fast forward to the present, and we'll explore the contributions of the late Richard Lewis, whose passing we mourn and whose legacy in entertainment we celebrate. Losing myself in the narratives of our past, I reflect on personal anecdotes and offer homage to the father of modern hypnosis, Franz Mesmer, and the predecessors who have lit the way for today's hypnotic practices. So, if your curiosity is piqued by the thought of delving into the mind's most profound mysteries, this episode promises a journey filled with discovery, nostalgia, and a touch of the human experience that connects us all.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 1:
No, I don't know it's crazy I just I feel big, oh great, odin's Raven.
Speaker 3:
Put out a few pals over the past few weeks, you know.
Speaker 1:
It happens, it happens.
Speaker 3:
All right, so I'm sorry. Good news story yeah, good news story.
Speaker 1:
I actually I was going to do Richard Lewis for a winner of the week, but you know it's kind of like he passed, so it just, you know, we'll see. So, yes, we'll, we'll. We'll revisit it later. Okay, a five year old girl was reported missing recently near Tampa. Oh, this is starting out great. After the autistic child wandered off and got lost in a swamp, my goodness.
Speaker 3:
Is.
Speaker 1:
This is the first line of the story, my goodness, okay. So my first thought when I when I found the story, I'm like oh wait, autistic child in a swamp. I mean I'm thinking the chances of survival are very slim.
Speaker 3:
Here Are we in Louisiana, louisiana, tampa, florida, florida, okay, even better.
Speaker 1:
Yeah Right, the haunt of snapping turtles, alligators, water moccasins and other beasties. Florida swamps are no place for an unattended child Right, but fortunately a coordinated rescue operation by the sheriff's office located her before disaster struck. Good Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office deployed their aviation unit with thermal imaging to a heavily wooded area after receiving a call about the missing child Right. Speaking to officers among the reeds and Cyprus, the pilot located the girl about one hour after the search began. Very nice.
Speaker 3:
Yes, how far could a five year old get?
Speaker 1:
Well, that's true. Bodycam footage released by the HCSO shows three officers finding and calling her name. We were looking for you, sweetheart, said one. Fortunately, the girl came to the officers instead of running further away and potentially hurting herself, and seemed perfectly happy when one of the rescue team lifted her out of the water and onto dry land. Sheriff Chad Cronister commended the officers, saying their quick actions saved the day, turning a potential tragedy into a hopeful reunion. Yes, their dedication shows what service and protection are all about here at Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
Speaker 3:
I'm so happy that they found her. It's a bummer that a five year old somehow got lost in a swamp in. Florida Right. Where are the parents?
Speaker 1:
Well, see, they don't give any details on how they got out. So let me go from personal preference or personal not preference personal history here. Okay, so I had a grand, my grandfather, my dad's dad he had. He ended up getting Alzheimer's in his later ages. Okay, so at one point he would just escape the house because my dad actually would go and stay with him for the week or stay with him on the weekends and my mom would stay with him during the week. Okay, it's after my grandmother passed. He got, he started getting worse and at one point they started having to tie the door closed Right To keep him in, because a couple of times he got out and didn't know where he was. And of course the police bring him back because they find him wandering.
Speaker 3:
Right, and they're like you gotta do something here. You gotta do different here.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, something's up. So. So. So I get especially if you have an autistic child, or even an autistic adult yeah, you might not even know they're gone at first. Which I get it as a parent. You would think, yeah, where were they? Yeah, as a parent my son, I know. I would think the same thing. I mean where are the parents?
Speaker 3:
Did they not realize that the door opened and the five year?
Speaker 1:
old, it's hard to say especially well, and again I'm just going off of general knowledge here. But if you have an autistic child and they're prone to wandering off, you probably, but I don't know, I don't know any of the prior history on this this young lady.
Speaker 3:
Well, you're talking to a guy whose own mother left him in the grocery store on purpose to teach them a lesson?
Speaker 1:
Yeah, did you learn the lesson? Oh yeah, well, I guess it worked then.
Speaker 3:
Tell you what, though it was right Great Odin's Great Okay story time. So you know my mom, she, you know military mom 100% raising. You know two kids, myself and my younger sister was 18 months younger living in Alaska. We were at the grocery store it's later in the evening and she really wanted to get home and we're like okay, into the store, in and out. We're going to be done here pretty quickly, so stay right next to me.
Speaker 1:
Oh boy.
Speaker 3:
So we're in the checkout line and what's across the way but a Tron video game?
Speaker 1:
Oh, I'm going to.
Speaker 2:
Tron video game.
Speaker 3:
Come on, you're talking to a young man who's big into video games right so. I saunter myself over to Tron and I'm looking at I'm not playing that, I'm just walking at it. Right, my mother sees this and she sixes to my sister let's go. No, checks out and walks out of the grocery store.
Speaker 3:
I was just so in tune to this video, okay, no idea, she was no idea that she had left, until I look up and I look around and there's no mom and there's no sister. And look out the window and there goes the van through the parking lot. No way it's. It's the dead of winter in Alaska. I go booking myself into the parking lot in these Claude Hoppin boots and I'm running through the parking lot. Thank God the light turns red and she didn't go through the light because I got to the car, open up the door and I'm literally oh my gosh.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, my mom just burst out laughing and she looked at me. I got in the car. She goes. You'll listen to me from now on.
Speaker 2:
I said Boy Escalated quickly.
Speaker 3:
I mean that really got out of hand fast, yeah I agree, that's the type of stuff that'll put a parrot in jail these days.
Speaker 1:
You're right, it could, yeah, but it is a lesson, yeah.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, but I was. I learned a lesson, you'll stay right there, and you know what she wasn't going to leave her child. No no, she was probably gonna go around the parking lot. Yeah, you know what? She saw me coming. Okay, I'll stop. Let's take him back as far as letting the you know, a five-year-old just will saunter out of the house by themselves.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, it's there. Lot of, a lot of these stories bring up questions that most, most of time, we don't get answers for sure, but hey and then I was in therapy for years after that anyway. So absolutely so. I mean, matt, you're a winner. This by girl, girl with autism is a winner. Yes, the police are winners.
Speaker 3:
That's how we did is done was that TMI felt like that was Not at all.
Speaker 1:
That's not story time we always have story times here, so back to it.
Speaker 3:
Have you? Have you watched the new Walking Dead?
Speaker 1:
No, those are not so here, here's the thing. Here's my walking dead history. I was totally into it all the way through. I don't know how many seasons or were in the original series. I can't remember either. I got through however many I, I stopped before the last season, all right, I just lost interest.
Speaker 3:
I didn't get that far. I stopped watching when Rick Rimes left.
Speaker 1:
Okay, fair enough, mm-hmm.
Speaker 3:
Yep, because he was. He was the mainstay and that's the character I really enjoyed Watching and then when? He's got on like well, there's nothing left for me here, so move on to the next.
Speaker 1:
I mean it did. I feel like it did. You know, using the vernacular that's developed over the years, I feel like it jumped the shark a bit earlier than that. So, so, so, no, I haven't really had any because I didn't watch the last season or even maybe a couple seasons of Walking Dead.
Speaker 3:
I just really haven't felt no, I don't think you held to watch it. I don't think you have to do. Then start watching those who live probably not.
Speaker 1:
I mean, it's gonna get the idea. Yeah, I mean I don't know who's dead and who's not anymore, but neither do I, you know.
Speaker 3:
I just you know Cuz the knee can drop. That's why I yes, yes.
Speaker 1:
So back to it. Yes, that one. Well, you know I had to edit this drop. You know that right? No, because when he says so there's like a 10 second pause holding the back, that's right, that's right back to it, and then he's, then he slams, yes, yeah. Steven, you know yeah, unfortunately it's crazy. All right, okay, so we're gonna learn so we're talking today, guys about a history of hypnosis.
Speaker 1:
When did it start? How did it start? How's it developed, like, like, where did it come from? I mean in the evolution of it, because think, things evolve, like when you first start something whatever, whatever kind of practice it is or Whatever kind of thing, it evolves over time and people kind of use it to To their own purposes, I guess, or kind of modify it to their own uses. That's fair. So the earliest references of Hypnosis Goes way back to ancient Egypt and Greece, really, yes, okay, in Greek mythology there's a God called hypnos, hypn OS, hypnos is a God, the, the God of hypnosis.
Speaker 1:
He's the God of sleep go Okay. So you see where we're going. As far as the name goes, I get that.
Speaker 3:
Yeah.
Speaker 1:
That's the origin of the word hypnosis. So the God hypnos was a great in Greek mythology. There's also a Roman God who was also a God of sleep. Okay, his name was called somnus insomnia. Okay, insomnia some. Nambulist is another term that we use. Some some nambulist is a term for someone very susceptible to hypnosis.
Speaker 3:
Okay, yeah, those are the folks that you seek out of the show.
Speaker 1:
Oh, absolutely. I want awesome nambulous on stage, because that, yeah, and typically most of the time I get a majority, so so that's a good thing. So you could see this goes way back and and the reason that that we're using terms from way back when we use a lot of terms in in English language. That come from ancient terms or Latin or you know some other language got it.
Speaker 1:
So both of these cultures actually had what they called religious centers, so it's, I would say, like churches or temples or whatever you want to call them.
Speaker 1:
They had a denomination yeah, themselves, Okay so people used to come to these, these religious centers or these temples, for help with problems. So what these temples were? It was a place to sleep. They called them sleep temples, so people would come and relax and sleep, and and they would. They. Would you use these temples to try to regenerate? Regenerate or Rehabilitate, or or just recover? Huh, if they're going through something traumatic, sure.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, a lot of people call that work.
Speaker 1:
Yes, I know, yeah. So even as far as like hypnosis the word, and we look at early writings, like, like you know, we're talking about 1600. Bc, so yeah, predating the Bible by thousands of years. Sure, there's a father of Chinese medicine. His name was Wong Tai. Okay, because I'm tight, not right time, long time, god bless you.
Speaker 2:
No, no, don't shut me up. Oh, Good for you, yeah long time, a long time, okay.
Speaker 1:
So he wrote about techniques that involved incantation and passes of hands Passes of hands like passing your hand over someone All right, you know, just like.
Speaker 2:
These are not the drill You're looking for. Yes, exactly exactly that.
Speaker 1:
That's exactly what I think about that. There was a Hindu, a Hindu god, named Vitas. V E, d a s. No, I'm sorry, wrong, I'm totally on the wrong track here. All right, there was this. The Vitas was a Hindu writing Thing. Somebody wrote Vitas Hindu version around 1500 BC and it mentions hypnotic procedures. Are you sure it's not for DOS? Could be, I could be the DOS, is it Vays?
Speaker 3:
or Vaws.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, yeah, I don't know I don't listen to you, no more.
Speaker 1:
So so Vitas is the Written word, written word from Hindu around 1500 BC that mentions hypnotic procedures. So we're talking about Trans-like states, the sleep temples, the god hypnos, the god somnus, this Chinese medicine, wong Tai, who wrote about techniques, and the Hindu Vitas. So they all mention, in different forms, things like shamanistic, druidic voodoo, yo yo, jik, okay, and religious practices, so so they all kind of center around these trans-like states, huh, okay. So we all know that and and I'm gonna jump ahead and jump back, but but the father of modern hypnosis is widely regarded, as is Franz Mesmer.
Speaker 3:
Yes, we've talked about yes.
Speaker 1:
We've talked about Franz Mesmer, but pre for him there were a couple of major, I guess, influencers in the world of hypnosis, so like the Beatles.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, yeah, like like you're influenced by those who come before you. So one of the early ones this is from 980 to 1037 Was called avicenna A V I C E N N a. He was a Persian psychologist and a physician, so he was one of the earliest who made a what I guess you would call it a distinction between Hypnosis and actual sleep. Okay, so before that time there wasn't this understanding. People might have assumed it was sleep, but it was not really so. Avicenna really kind of laid it out and in and made a clear distinction between sleep and hypnosis In in his book called the book of healing, which he published in 1027. Wow, I didn't even know books got published that really. You know what I mean.
Speaker 3:
I don't know what they called it published? They probably didn't call it publishing.
Speaker 1:
They probably wrote it and just gave it out right, you know, here's a pamphlet, here's a pamphlet yeah, here here, read this here's a brain like a chicken. Hey, here's a stone slab here. Just just look over this. When you have a chance, here's your wheelbarrow to carry then.
Speaker 3:
God's 20.
Speaker 2:
For you I dropped one.
Speaker 1:
So again, he publishes in 1027 and he referred to hypnosis in arabic, arabic as as al-wam al-amil. Okay, which means, which means one could create conditions in another person so that here she accepts the reality. So he's stating there that you could influence people to think differently with hypnosis, even back in 1027. Wow, okay. So in Western cultures hypnotism involved out of sometimes skeptical reaction to early works. We're going back to Mesmer here, who was a magnetist.
Speaker 3:
Oh, okay.
Speaker 1:
And we'll get into that in a minute. If you don't know what a magnetist is, I don't, I'm going to let you know. All right, I'm not going to let you know more. It's a. I'm not going to listen to you, no more. No, it's really All right. There's a whole vein of medicine back when that used magnets, so we'll get into that, all right, fair enough. So after Avacenna comes Paracelsus, who lived from 1493 to 1541. That's a long life. He was a Swiss physician and he used magnets in his work as a doctor.
Speaker 3:
Okay, so I'm curious about how magnets work themselves or work in themselves.
Speaker 1:
Well, that's a great question. So many people back in that time claimed to have been healed after he had passed magnets over their bodies.
Speaker 3:
I'm sure there were some positive effects and some negative effects.
Speaker 1:
Maybe it depends on which side of the magnet you're using.
Speaker 2:
Oh, good for you.
Speaker 1:
I just can't help myself. No, I know, I know so. An Irishman by the name of Valentin Greatrakes. What a name, greatrakes, valentin Greatrakes.
Speaker 2:
Oh, what kind of stupid wiener name is that? Oh, Shacky's.
Speaker 3:
Oh, I got some lucky charms.
Speaker 1:
He lived in 1628 to 1682. Okay, he was known as the Great Irish. He was known as the Great Irish Stroker.
Speaker 3:
Oh, 1999, 1999, 1999.
Speaker 1:
For his ability to heal people by laying hands on them and passing magnets over their bodies. Okay, so he gained a reputation of being able to heal people with magnets, the same thing that Optimus Magnus did. So Magneto, do that too? No, well, he doesn't have to he just doesn't. What in places are you talking about? That's crazy, I don't know.
Speaker 1:
Go on, go on. So the next figure we're going to talk about is Johann Gosner, who lived in 727 to 1779. He was a Catholic priest actually at the time, okay, and he believed that disease was caused by evil spirits and the only way to exercise them was through incantations and prayer. So he converted, yeah, he did. So this is all kind of what's happening in this timeframe, from like 1400s up to 1790-1800.
Speaker 1:
Wow, wow A lot of it is just like what I would call a learning process. There were beliefs of certain things and then things were proved wrong or things were modified, or beliefs were modified. It's like trial and error. Yeah, no, absolutely. It's like that with anything that's a little bit fringe or a little bit not mainstream as far as medical treatments go. Okay, yeah, so the next major figure in hypnosis at that time was 1720 to 1792, about the same time as Gasner, but a little bit after Maximilian Hell.
Speaker 3:
Okay.
Speaker 1:
Go on.
Speaker 3:
What kind of stupid wiener name is that I was just left that dangle out there a little bit, max.
Speaker 1:
Hell, yeah, okay, so he was also using magnets to heal by applying steel plates. I don't know why they have to specify here, but by applying steel plates to the naked body. How heavy are the steel plates? I have no idea, but one of Hell's students Uh-huh, was none other than a young medical doctor from Vienna named Cosmar nope Franz.
Speaker 3:
Mesmer Franz, I meant Mesmer yeah.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, right, so he, he was actually a student of this of hell, okay, so so, so, mesmer, and we'll get it. We'll get a little bit more into Mesmer later on, but, but, um, he was maligned during his time as a doctor when you say well, you say maligned, like like criticized or not believed or thought to be a farce or a joke or you know.
Speaker 3:
I thought. I thought that meant he was groomed.
Speaker 1:
But not, oh, okay, no, no, they were just kind of looked down on him because they thought he's wacky. Okay, you know well, what are you people on? Dope you could have been, could have been. I mean, it's hard to say, sure, you know.
Speaker 3:
All right. So Mesmer was a was a patient student of of max hell. Max a million hell. Okay, yep, yep.
Speaker 1:
So you see you see how this kind of develops over time. People were still doing they're still into the magnetism part of healing, and then we'll see as we go forward how it kind of veered off of that. Okay, there's a fork in the road at some point a literal yeah, yeah, maybe literal. I'm stuck to the magnet and thus began the spark yes, exactly, and it was not plastic.
Speaker 1:
All right, folks, here's what we're gonna do. We just started getting into this Before we get into the next section was a little bit longer, because we're gonna focus on mesmer for a while. Okay, I like we're gonna start that at the beginning of next episode. So we're gonna finish up the history of hypnosis, bringing us all the way to current day, during the next episode. All right, so what we're gonna do is join us for episode History of hypnosis, part two on the next episode. Those of you on Facebook live, stick around, we're gonna be right back. Yep, those of you listening to audio, wherever you're listening, jump ahead to the next episode, or it will drop next Tuesday or Thursday.
