My skepticism is born of vast experience of charlatans, liars and con artists. It is not negativism, I see it as dutiful and a positive counter to protect in some small measure those who are open to exploitation. That said, I have no problem at all with diverse viewpoints -- I think it's a bit unfair to suggest incredulity equates to closed-mindedness.

   Skepticism is proper until the hypnotist releases the series of questions and answers to and from the person being hypnoticaly regressed.

   The hypnotist MUST be specific in the questions being asked. Here is an example.

   Please tell me about a previous life.
         This is a terrible question to ask because the subconscious mind (Unihipili in Hawai'ian terminology) in an attempt to be helpful will pull a previous life at random from the akashic records (this is why there are 57 people walking around believeing they were once Cleopatra).

   Please tell me about YOUR previous life.
         By changing one word changes a vague question into a very specific question with only one answer.

   I do not put much credence in reports of reincarnation unless the data is released.
