      Religion – faith – hypnosis

      Any religion is based on faith, and faith is suggestion and auto—suggestion, that is, hypnosis. And hypnosis is translated from Greek as «sleep», that is, the sleep of the brain. And when the brain sleeps, it is guided by the suggestion of «interested persons» or self-suggestion of the person himself.

      «But Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief; for verily I say to you, If you have faith the size of a mustard seed and say to this mountain, „Move from here to there,“ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you» (Matthew 17:20)

      «But do you want to know, is a person unfounded that faith without works is dead?» (James 2:20).

      Faith is suggestion and autosuggestion, that’s when the mountain will move, in fact it will only be an illusion, self-deception, suggestion and autosuggestion. That’s what some cases are for.

      Oleg Moroz in the article «All diseases are from the Earth», p. 161, in the book «On behalf of Science», states: «For many millennia, from the very beginning of the human brain, the psyche, faith has been a constant companion of man. Strongly believing in something was almost equivalent to realizing that something. Once a person believed that he was unwell, and he was really overcome by illness. It was worth believing in recovery – and he rose from the bed of illness. The whole point is precisely to believe firmly, truly. At all times there were people who played the role of catalysts, yeast in this matter – sorcerers, magicians, magi, shamans…»

      As an example in the article «At the prompting of the gods…", pp. 61—70, in the same book, he, referring to Princeton University Professor Julian Jaynes, examines the heroes of Homer’s Iliad, which have a remarkable property: the gods often make important decisions for them.

      The action in the poem begins with the fact that the leader of the Achaeans, King Agamemnon, rejects the request of the «priest of the immaculate» Christ to return to him for a rich ransom his daughter, captured by the Achaeans. In revenge for such audacity, the god Apollo brings down punishments on the Achaeans.

      Further quotes from the Iliad:

      «… Quickly rushed from the Olympus of the peaks, bursting with anger,

      Carrying a bow behind his shoulders and a quiver,

      closed from everywhere…

      At the very beginning, he attacked the Mesks and

      the idle dogs;

      After that, the people also comprehended, with deadly

      pimples with arrows;

      Frequent bonfires of corpses burned incessantly

      in the camp.»

      The gods suggest to the companion of Agamemnon Achilles (Pelides) the way to salvation:

      «For nine days arrows flew at the army of God

      ;

      On the tenth day Pelides called the Achaeans to a

      meeting.

      The goddess sovereign put something into his thoughts

      Hera:

      She was tormented by grief when she saw

      the Achaeans dying.

      ««At the assembly,» Achilles offers to find out – through a «priest, or a prophet, or a dream diviner» – what Apollo is angry about. The «Supreme bird-fancier» Kalchas explains to the Achaeans what is the matter.

      Agamemnon agrees to give his daughter to Christ, but in return threatens to appropriate another captive, Briseis, who is Achilles’ property, as his «reward» – so that Achilles understands how much he, Agamemnon, is above him in power.

      The offended Achilles is tormented in search of a solution – either to immediately kill the offender, or to submit.

      Again, the decision comes from the gods: «At the moment when he was stirring his mind and soul with such thoughts

      ,he drew his Terrible sword from the scabbard, Athena appeared…

      «I will tame your stormy anger when you are conquered by the immortal,

      The golden-haired Hera descended from the sky; she sent me

      down…

      End the discord, Peleion, and, satisfying

      the angry heart,

      With evil words, poison, but do not touch the sword with your hand…»

      It cannot be said that the gods always gave wise and saving advice. Without batting an eye, they give insidious, entrapping advice. So, Zeus, in order to take revenge on Agamemnon for Achilles, advises the leader of the Achaeans to turn his troops to Troy, conquer it: according to Zeus, the Achaeans, together with their leader, will be exterminated in this war.

      Such episodes – when the gods act like prompters – really permeate the whole poem. On this basis, Professor J. Janes makes an unexpected conclusion: the ancient Greeks did not have consciousness.

      «An amazing fact! – he exclaims. – The heroes of the Iliad were actually automatons. They didn’t make decisions, didn’t make plans… Whenever there was a need to make a decision, the gods appeared. As soon as a critical situation arose, someone would hear their voices or see them… Without prompting, the ancient Greeks committed strikingly naive acts. Take, for example, the famous Trojan horse episode. How could you be tempted by a huge horse that was planted by enemies?»

      Did the gods really exist at that time? Janes believes that the brain of ancient man was split. Experience was accumulating in the right hemisphere and a hint was maturing on how to act. It was transmitted to the left hemisphere – the executive authority – in the form of auditory hallucinations. The person seemed to hear voices from outside. Naturally, he took them for the voices of the gods. Visual hallucinations were often added to auditory hallucinations. The gods easily appeared to the sons of the Earth.

      Does the Iliad really give rise to such conclusions? Of course, there are no fewer cases in the poem when people make independent decisions, without any participation of the gods, than there are cases with dictated advice.

      By his own will, and not by someone else’s will, Agamemnon makes the very decision with which it all began – not to return his daughter to Christ:

      "…Proudly he sent the priest away and prophesied a terrible word to him:

      «Elder, so that I may never see you before the courts!

      Here and now you do not hesitate and do not dare to show yourself in the future!

      Or neither the scepter nor the crown of Apollo will save you.

      I will not give freedom to the Virgin; she will become dilapidated in captivity,

      In Argos, in our house, far from you, from the fatherland —

      Walking around the weaving mill or sharing a bed with me.

      Go away and do not anger me, long live you will return!»

      In the same way – without any prompting – Agamemnon decides to take away Briseis from Achilles:

      «… He, having called Talfibius and Eurybates before him,

      Faithful minions and messengers, the angry one commanded:

      «March, faithful messengers, into the canopy

      Achilles Pelides;

      Taking my hands, present Briseida to me immediately:

      If he does not give it back, he will return it – I myself will expel it.:

      With strength I will come to him, and the disobedient will be more sorrowful.»
