Thinking Creatically:Be careful in your choice of hypnotists by Sidney Jourard

We begin life with the world presenting itself to us as it is.
Someone — our parents, teachers, analysts — hypnotizes us to "see"
the world and construe it in the "right" way.

These others label the world, attach names and give voices to the beings
and events in it, so that thereafter, we cannot read the world in any
other language or hear it saying other things to us.

The task is to break the hypnotic spell, so that we become undeaf,
unblind and multilingual,thereby letting the world speak to us in
new voices and write all its possible meanings in the new book of our existence.
Be careful in your choice of hypnotists.
