This may be called the Programmable State ; daydreaming, meditation and deep prayer are similar " states of mind ".

It is a relaxed state wherein the Conscious Mind, is " distracted " and the Subconscious Mind

is more aware.

Hypnosis is a specific form of communication that elicits or evokes certain type of language processing in subjects who are in Trance.

The Programmable State is in the lower levels of Alpha and in Theta - as indicated in the diagram below - also, the ages from birth to 6 years old are critical, because what a child experiences at this stage of life can be considered pure hypnosis. as the child has no conscious frame of reference for the feelings created - these feelings form the basis of their response patterns to events in their life as they grow older.

Everything observed ( beliefs, attitudes and behaviours ) in their parents, become " hard wired " as synaptic pathways in their Subconscious Minds.

Response patterns can be likened to learnt behaviours or habits and they form what can be termed a data base, in the Subconscious Mind.

Once programmed into the Subconscious Mind, they control our biology for the rest of our lives, or at least until we make the effort to reprogram them.

For example: becoming depressed is a response pattern - so is staying depressed.

The following diagram is based on the work of Dr. Bruce Lipton and his book, " The Biology Of Belief,

He states " In reality the Subconscious Mind is an emotionless data base of stored programs, whose function is strictly concerned with reading environmental signals and engaging in hardwired behavioural programs , no questionsasked, no judgements made ".
