Why do smart people do dumb things? Why do people eat too much, spend too much, or say things they later regret? Could it be that they are under a spell and don't even know it? Before you laugh and say that such an idea is absurd, ask yourself why you have done some of the dumb things you have. We read in the Bible about something called original sin, and we are told that the human race is laboring under a curse of sin from which we need to be set free by the Messiah. Could it be that hypnosis is the curse of sin, a spell from which we need to awaken? This book hopes to answer these questions and also give the reader clues to regaining control of their life.
