When you allow another to enter into your consciousness, this means that whatever they are composed of—good and bad—is imposed upon you, and though you may receive some benefit, you also receive the negative momentums of that individual. Furthermore, the only way you can return and ascend to God is by the conscious use of your free will. | When you allow another to enter into your consciousness, this means that whatever they are composed of—good and bad—is imposed upon you, and though you may receive some benefit, you also receive the negative momentums of that individual.

The only identity that should be given control over your consciousness is your [[God Presence]]—and the ascended masters who are wholly one with God and therefore cannot pass on to you any influence that is not of the light. | The only identity that should be given control over your consciousness is your [[God Presence]]—and the ascended masters who are wholly one with God and therefore cannot pass on to you any influence that is not of the light. | ||
The [[Great Divine Director]] warns against the use of hypnosis: | |||
<blockquote> | |||
Unfortunately, individuals who are not completely oriented around divine truth sometimes submit to an attempt to utilize the power of hypnosis in order to accomplish seeming miracles through the power of the subconscious. As your beloved ascended friends of light have told you so often, you ought never to submit your being to the control of any person or hypnotist, even for seemingly benign purposes. Nor should you practice so-called autohypnosis; for the energies required to perform this type of action, while seemingly innocent enough, actually diminish the power of the soul of man; and while they may seem productive of good for a time, the ultimate long-range effect is not freedom, but bondage. “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”<ref>Prov. 14:12.</ref><ref>The Great Divine Director, “The Mechanization Concept,” Part E, “Error,” {{POWref|8|7|, February 14, 1965}}</ref> | |||
