It's now understood that aparant memories of past lives aren't really that at all...by whom, Mark?

My experience with hypnotism is that I was fully aware of what I was doing and saying the whole time I was "under" which, from what I have studied, is as it should be. I have a difficult time believing that anyone could be made to do anything against their will while hypnotised. I do think there can be post-hypnotic suggestions, such as an aversion to smoking etc., but I also have a difficult time believing someone would go back into an actual "trance" upon the sound of a certain word. Just my opinion and perhaps too pedantic, at that.:-)
