Peter Vahdaty is a fantastic character. The children’s cartoon character that always does weird but very wonderful little things. She sings and dances and even pulls funny faces. We all love watching her on her travels and finding out all the mischief she causes.

Peter Vahdaty is a 17 year old robotic spacewomen who loves to investigate what a real human being experiences. She travels the universe in search of life and whenever she discovers something she has never seen before, she must investigate. However, as well all know, this is not always the safest or brightest thing Peter Vahdaty should be doing!

Her latest adventures bring her to planet Zonka where she discovers quick sand for the very first time! Peter Vahdaty wound up one day on the space ship Zoom Zoom feeling rather bored. Then low and behold, her ship caught slight of something new a few space miles away that looked kinda like a planet. The ship picked it up as planet Zonka. Peter Vahdaty thought to herself that this could be another exiting adventure so prepared for launch!

After a few minutes the space ship landed on planet Zonka. However, before Peter Vahdaty had a chance to do anything the ship began to sink into the planets surface! Peter Vahdaty was so worried that she took it upon herself to shed the ship of some weight by jumping onto the planet in hopes of saving the ship!

However no sooner had she jumped ship in order to save it but she began to find herself sinking too into the planets quick sand. Help she screamed, but luckily for her, the ship was just gathering up speed while flying away from the planet. The robotic ship teleported Peter Vahdaty back to safety and saved her. Phew, she thought as she started wiping all the sand of her robotic body. That was one seriously lucky escape! It was at that point Peter Vahdaty began to be thankful of everything she had done to prepare for that event. Had she not programmed the ship to be able to understand calls of help or the latest teleport feature, she would have surely been stuck on a lonely planet in the middle of nowhere.

Moral of this short story…always be thankful for what you do have and don’t worry about what you don’t have. The world we all live in is a wonderful place than we should all stop, explore and smell the roses but we should never do anything at the sake of our safety. Live and love with all our hearts and always lookout for yourself too!

During both the 2nd and 3rd World Wars, as well as the Korean War, hypnotism was utilized for various purposes. It was used as a medical tool, a weapon, as well as a strategic and intelligence device.

Soldiers in battle are subjected to horrors and traumatic expeiences that the layman cannot even begin to understand. Military doctors used hypnotherapy to allow their patients delve into their repressed memories and then help them deal with them. Hypnotism was also used to treat amnesia, as well as other stress and mental trauma related conditions.

Hypnosis was also used to infiltrate the enemies ranks. A doctor by the name of G.H. Estabrooks, who worked with the U.S. military during World War II, wrote in a medical journal how hypnosis was used to place an agent deep into the enemies camp by using the behavioral modification properties of hypnotism. He wrote the following, "I worked this technique with a vulnerable Marine lieutenant I'll call Jones. Under the watchful eye of Marine Intelligence I spilt his personality into Jones A and Jones B. Jones A, once a "normal" working Marine, became entirely different. He talked communist doctrine and meant it. He was welcomed enthusiastically by communist cells, was deliberately given a dishonorable discharge by the Corps (which was in on the plot) and became a card-carrying party member."

Hypnosis was also used by the intelligence services of the military. For example, a very sensitive piece of information needed to be relayed, but the worry about it falling into enemy hands meant that using the radio was not a viable option. And when sending via courier no printed copy, not even in code would want to be used. So the answer was to use suggestion on the soldier. The information was given to the soldier under hypnosis then, after successfully relaying the message, the hypnotist then suggested to the courier that he would never remember a single detail about the message, thus ensuring that it remained a secret forever.

Of course always remember hypnosis can force someone to act against their instincts, or morals. Forget the Manchurian Candidate, it was fiction.

The history of hypnosis is long and varied, evolving from ancient Vedic sleep temples to Freudian psychotherapy and finally modern neurology. Today, hypnosis is defined as a set of techniques that induce a special brain state: one in which your perceptions, memories and behaviors are easily influenced by suggestion. The history of hypnosis, however, spans a much wider array of ideas and practices.

Ancient Spiritual Practices

The history of hypnosis may have begun thousands of years ago in ancient Greek, Egyptian, Indian and tribal spiritual practices. Rituals throughout the world use techniques reminiscent of hypnotic induction—rhythmic, repetitious sounds and movements and a fixed focus of attention—to bring about altered states of consciousness.

Many of these traditions, unlike modern hypnosis, were closely connected to sleep, dream interpretation, divination and the actions of gods. But, like all techniques throughout the history of hypnosis, they were also thought to bring about emotional and spiritual healing.

In ancient Egypt “falling of the heart”, “kneeling of the mind” and other depressed states were treated by “incubation” or sleep therapy in sacred temples. In ancient Greece a night spent sleeping in the temple of Asklepios, the god of healing, was thought to cure illness. Ancient India also had sacred sleep temples where priestly suggestions could induce different categories of sleep called Sleep-Waking, Dream-Sleep and Ecstasy-Sleep. Other spiritual practices such as Buddhist walking meditation, yoga and Qi Gong use slow repetitive movements and fixed attention to change the practitioners’ state of mind and body.

From Mesmerism to Psychotherapy and Neuro-Lingistic Programming

Although many people view hypnosis as a form of entertainment, for the majority of practitioners today hypnosis remains a powerful means of addressing emotional and psychological issues. Whether we are working through grief or attempting to lose weight, the history of hypnosis can show us how to reach our goals.

The history of hypnosis as we know it begins with the Enlightenment of the 18th century, when natural philosophers and scientists were experimenting with natural forces like electro-magnetism. At this time, Frank Anton Mesmer, the father of mesmerism, proposed that all living matter was animated by a magnetic fluid. In order to cure disease he set about to restore the proper balance of this fluid or ether using magnets.

The history of hypnosis advanced quite by accident when one of Mesmer’s followers unintentionally produced the sleeping state that we associated with hypnosis during an experiment. He was surprised to find that the subject could think and speak more intelligently in this state than when he was fully awake.

This somnambulist state was later purposefully aroused by a monk named Abbe Faria, who changed the course of the history of hypnosis by claiming that the ability to go into a trance rests within the patient. It is not caused by the hypnotist’s use of magnets.

The term “hypnosis”—in reference to the Greek god of sleep, Hypnos—first entered our vocabulary in the late 18th century. Around the same time, two Frenchman—August Ambroise Liebault and Hypolite Bernheim—became the first scholars to define hypnosis as a normal phenomenon. They also isolated expectation as the most critical variable in successfully inducing the somnambulist state.

In France, Emile Coue brought the history of hypnosis closer to its modern association with psychotherapy by introducing the concept of auto-suggestion, claiming that he could teach people to bring about their own self-healing.

Although Freud flirted with hypnosis, he later abandoned its practice. The individual who is most credited with incorporating hypnosis into clinical practice is Dr. Milton H. Erickson, an accomplished psychotherapist who pioneered the use of indirect hypnosis along with metaphor, surprise, confusion and humor to the benefit of his patients. The history of hypnosis continued to advance modern science as Ericksonian hypnosis was used to inform the contemporary field of neuro-linguistic programming.
