Hypnosis is perhaps best understood as an "interpersonal relationship" between the hypnotist and the subject. In everyday life, most individuals have experiences of a trance-like nature.

When the process of association fills the initial intuition with the pastness of dead data-stuff the impact of this intuition is reduced to that of general experience." intellectual confusion prevailing among painters springs partly from "critical permissiveness": "Our esthetic yardstick is geared largely to the novel. We expect the same kind of dramatic discoveries from our artists that we do from our scientists...
