No, but in my opinion it is more than some human mental trick. For me it is tapping into a mentality that I hold inside of myself. I am a wolf, I have been a wolf in past lives and it is a deep rooted part of who I am today. If you say it is auto-hypnosis, then how do you know you are who you say you are? I mean, daily you are reaffirmed of the belief that you are the person behind that computer; people say your name, you respond, you are told that to put your hand on a stove-top it will burn you, daily we go through forms of auto-hypnotism in which we are brainwashed, literally, into thinking a certain way and thus we have evolved into today's society. But who tells us that something isn't possible? Who reaffirms to us on a regular enough basis to make sure we believe only a certain way? Society. Today's society raises its children to believe only in growing up, going to school, getting an education (that society determines) and working for the system to keep it going. Hell, even the thought of God has been silenced as far as the system goes. So, when did this thought process begin for you that instead of being something inherent in a person, this has to be a form of auto-hypnotism?
And aye, EvilJeremy, we don't want everyone to believe as we do, or to not argue the point of our beliefs. ^_^ It gives us a chance to explore our own beliefs, ^_^. But to each their own. These are my thoughts and are not subject to anyone believing them. Plus I just woke up and so some of this might come out a bit jumbled, lol.
