A publication from HypnotismIsAReligion.com Imagine being able to rise above all your limitations and going beyond just reaching your goals to attaining the near impossible. This is what this book seeks to explore. For the layman critical thinking is essentially the practice of questioning and mentally dissecting everything you are told before taking any action on it. There are two ways of existing in the world. The first way of existing is through consciousness. The second way of existing is through unconsciousness. It is important to get a few things straight before investigating any further. The first thing I want to talk to about is this idea of consciousness. Studies have proven that a human being can only process 7+ or -2 message units at any given moment consciously. For this reason we are unconscious of most of the things going on around us at any given moment. What we are conscious of and can pay attention to is only a small fraction of what life has to offer us. Sometimes our best thinking gets in the way of possibilities, potential, and what it would mean for us to truly be successful. The world that exists outside of our awareness does not just cease to exist because we are unconscious of it. The things we are conscious of control our reactions, beliefs, attitudes, and usually our actions. We are living in this world believing that we are conscious beings fully aware of everything going on around us all the time. This simply is not true. There is also living unconsciously which is living hypnotically. Unconscious living can be when we are sleeping. When we are living our life oblivious of our surroundings and everything going on around us and are completely in tune with our dreams and a whole other side of being. This side of reality some would call fantasy, daydreaming, zoning out or being in trance; or better still, as we hypnotic's like to call it-being hypnotized.
