Research Claims of Hypnosis in Scientology
Some researchers believe that Scientology uses a form of what is called authoritative hypnosis. In much of his Scientology and Dianetics writings, Hubbard often redefined common words and invented new words. According to The Anderson Report, Hubbard has done this with hypnotic phenomena also. It is also believed that Hubbard has attributed spiritual significance to the results of the hypnosis. Among the terms that Hubbard has used for documented stages of unconsciousness experiences in hypnosis are:
- anaten
- boil-off
- dope-off
- mental image pictures (hypnotic hallucinations)
- exteriorization (Dissociation)
