There are hypnotherapists who are certain that hypnosis can transport you back to a past life, that by using hypnosis to regress the subject back through time to the time of their birth and before, that the subject can be aided in recalling events from lives before this one.

OK, I promised you a few ideas around the concept of building trance states as a form of “glamour” in the early sense of the word, a charm used to influence the perceptions of those around you :-)
