Embark with me, David Wright, on an enthralling expedition through the vast and mystical realm of hypnosis, where myths of ancient gods and the wisdom of historic influencers converge to reveal the secrets of the mind. Our episode unwraps the enigmatic history of this psychological phenomenon, right from its beginnings in the temples of Egypt and Greece to the mesmerizing advancements in the science behind it. As we traverse through time, I'll share tales of the mythical gods Hypnos and Somnus, whose very names have inspired the terminology we use today, and introduce you to the early pioneers like Wong Tai and Avicenna, who distinguished hypnosis from mere sleep with their groundbreaking insights.
Fast forward to the present, and we'll explore the contributions of the late Richard Lewis, whose passing we mourn and whose legacy in entertainment we celebrate. Losing myself in the narratives of our past, I reflect on personal anecdotes and offer homage to the father of modern hypnosis, Franz Mesmer, and the predecessors who have lit the way for today's hypnotic practices. So, if your curiosity is piqued by the thought of delving into the mind's most profound mysteries, this episode promises a journey filled with discovery, nostalgia, and a touch of the human experience that connects us all.
