 William James, Hypnotism,1890

Ecclesiastes :: The Segregated Fields ::

"Hypnotism"Hyperaesthesias"William James"Principles of
Psychology"(1890)[--> see Ideo-motor action --> &
Hypnopaedia ] 

 We know what it is to get out of bed on
a cold morning in a room without a fire, and how the
very vital principle within us protests against the
ordeal. Probably most persons have lain on certain
mornings for an hour at a time unable to brace
themselves to the resolve. We think how late we shall
be, how the duties of the day will suffer; we say, "I
'must' get up, this is ignominious," etc.; but still
the warm couch feels too delicious, the cold outside
too cruel, and resolution faints away postpones itself
again and again just as it seemed on the verge of
bursting the resistance and passing over into the
decisive act. 
[ this is a layout for the hypnopaedic

  If I may generalize my own experience, we more often than not get up
without any struggle or decision at all. We suddenly find that we have
got up. A fortunate lapse of consciousness occurs; we forget the
warmth and the cold; we fall into some revery connected with the day's
life, in the
course of which the 'idea' flashes across us, "Hello,
I 'must' lay her no longer!'--an idea which at that
lucky instant awakens no contradictory or paralyzing
suggestions, and "consequently produces immediately
its appropriate motor effects."    
[verbal arrangements-serial ordered sequences-voice operant hypnotist
soundbites-surrogate humunculous]
  It was our accute consciousness of both the warmth and the cold
during
the period of struggle, which paralyzed our activity
then kept our 'idea' of rising in the condition of
'wish' and not 'will.' The moment these inhibitory
'ideas' ceased, the original 'idea' exerted its
effects. 
[ artificial series arrangements as
constant substitute stimuli, repetitions and rotations shaping
toward specified behaviors-actions ] 
  This case seems to me to contain in miniature form the data for an
entire psychology of volition. It was in fact through meditating on
the phenomenon in my own person that I first became convinced of the
truth of the doctrine which these pages represent, and which I need
here illustrate by no farther examples.{ Professor A. Bain (The Senses
and the Intellect, pp. 336-48) and Dr. W. B. Carpenter (Mental
Physiology, chapter VI) give
examples in abundance. } The reason why that doctrine
is not the self-evident truth is that we have so many
'ideas' which 'do not' result in action. But it will
be seen that in every such case, without exception,
that is because other 'ideas' simultaneously present
rob them of their 'impulsive' power. But even here,
and when a movement is inhibited from 'completely'
taking place by contrary 'ideas,' it will
'incipiently' take place.
  To quote Lotze once more :
                            The spectator accompanies the throwing of
a
billiard-ball, or the thrust of the swordsman, with
the slight movements of his arm; the untaught narrator
tells his story with many gesticulations; the reader
while absorbed in the perusal of a battle-scene feels
a slight tension run through his muscular system,
'keeping time as it were with the actions' he is
reading (hearing) of . "These results become the more marked the
more we are absorbed in thinking of the movements
which suggest them;" [hypnopaedia] they grow fainter
exactly in proportion as a complex consciousness,
under the dominion of a crowd of other representations, withstands the
passing over of mental contemplation into outward action.
  The "willing game,"the exhibitions of so called "mind reading," or
more
properly muscle-reading, which have lately grown so
fashionable, are based on this "incipient obedience of
muscular contraction to idea," even when the deliberate intention is
that no contraction shall occur." { For a full account by an expert,
of the
"willing game," see Mr. Stuart Cumberland's article, "A
Thought-reader's Experiences," in the Nineteenth Century, XX, p. 867.
  M. Gley has given a good example of ideo-motor action in the
Bulletins de la societe de psychologie physiologique for 1889. Tell a
person to think intently of a certain name [repetative rotations
verbal arrangements-schedules of reinforcement-2ndary counter conflict
approach avoidance gradients reinforcers,] and saying that you will
then force her to write it, let her hold a pencil, and do yourself
hold her hand. She will then
probably trace the name involuntarily, believing that
you are forcing her to do it. } [ouji board]
  "We may then lay it down for certain that every representation
of a movement awakens in some degree the actual
movement which is its object; and awakens it in a
maximum degree whenever it is not kept from so doing
by an antagonistic representation present
simultaneously to the mind."
  Hyperaesthesia of the senses is as common a symptom as anaesthesia.
On the
skin two points can be discriminated at less than the
normal distance. The sense of touch is so delicate
that ( as M. Delboeuf informs me ) a subject after
simply poising on her finger-tips a blank card drawn
from a pack of similar ones can pick it out from the
pack again by it's "weight." We approach here the line
where, to many persons, it seems as if something more
than the ordinary senses, however sharpened, were
required in explanation. I have seen a coin from the
operator's pocket repeatedly picked out by the subject
from a heap of twenty others, { precautions being
taken against differences of temperature and other
grounds of suggestion. }, by it's greater "weight," in
the subject's language.
  Auditory hyperaesthesia may enable a subject to hear a watch tick,
or his operator speak, in a distant room.---One of the most
extraordinary examples of visual hyperaesthesia is
that reported by Bergson, in which a subject who
seemed to be reading through the back of a book held
and looked at by the operator, was really proved to be
reading the image of the page reflected on the
latter's cornea. The same subject was able to
discriminate with the naked eye details in a
microscopic preparation. Such cases of "hyperaesthesia
of vision" as that reported by Taguet and Sauvaire,
where subjects could see things mirrored by
non-reflecting bodies, or through opaque pasteboard
would seem rather to belong to "psychical research"
than to the present category.
  The ordinary test of visual hyperacuteness in hypnotism is the
favorite
trick of giving a subject the hallucination of a
picture on a blank sheet of card-board, and then
mixing the latter with a lot of other similar sheets.
The subject will always find the picture on the
original sheet again, and recognize infallibly if it
has been turned over, or upside down, although the
bystanders have to resort to artifice to identify it
again. 
[ Gestalt art-stereo images-Ecclesiastes(maybe
it would assist some of you reading to think-concieve
the movie to do with housewives being robotized,
Stepford Wives; remember my entry on pointing out
these images to people, and they are able to discern
them, but afterward, a day-week, they are unable to
see them-again, until I point them out-again ]
  The subject notes the peculiarities on the card, too small
for waking observation to detect. { It should be said,
however, that the bystander's ability to discriminate
unmarked cards and sheets of paper from each other is
much greater than one would naturally suppose. } If it
be said that the spectators guide him by their manner,
their breathing, etc., that is only another proof of
his hyperaesthesia; for he undoubtedly 'is' conscious
of subtler personal indications ( of his operator's
mental states especially ) than he could notice in his
waking state.
  Examples of this are found in the so-called "magnetic rapport." This
is a name for the fact that in deep trance, or in lighter trance
whenever the suggestion is made, the subject is deaf
and blind to everyone but the operator or those
spectators to whom the latter expressly awakens his
senses. The most violent appeals from anyone else are
for him as if nonexistent, whilst he obeys the
faintest signals on the part of his hypnotizer.

  If in catalepsy, his limbs will retain their attitude only when the
operator moves them; when others move them they fall down, etc. A more
remarkable fact still is that the patient will often
answer anyone whom his operator touches, or at whom he
even points his finger, in however concealed a manner.
All of which is rationally explicable by expectation
and suggestion, if only it be farhter admitted that
his senses are accutely sharpened for all the
operator's movements. 
{ ** I must repeat, however, that we are on the verge of pssibly
unknown forces and modes of communication. Hypnotization at a
distance,
with no grounds for expectation on the subject's part
that it was to be tried, seems pretty well established
in certain very rare cases. See in general, for
information on these matters, the Proceedings of the
Society for Psych. Research, passim. **} [ and this
was 1890 ]
  He often shows great anxiety and restlessness if the latter is out
of the room. A favorite experiment of Mr. E. Gurney's was to put the
subject's hands through an opaque screen, and cause
the operator to point at one finger. "That" finger
presently grew insensible or rigid. A bystander,
pointing simultaneously at another finger, never made
that insensible or rigid.
  Of course the elective 'rapport' with their operator had been
developed in
these trained subjects during the hypnotic state, but the phenomenon
then
occurred in some of them during the waking state, even
when their consciousness was absorbed in animated
conversation with a fourth party. { Here again the
perception in question must take place below the
threshold of ordinary consciousness, possibly in one
of those split-off selves or "second " states whose
existence we have so often to recognize. }
[right vs left hemisphere manipulations]
  I confess that when I saw these experiments I was impressed with
the necessity for admitting between the 'emanations'
from different people differences for which have no
name, and a discriminative sensibility for them of the
nature of which we can form no clear conception, but
which seems to be developed in certain subjects by the
hypnotic trance.
  The egnimatic reports of the effect
of magnets and metals, even if they be due, as many
contend, to unintentional suggestion on the operator's
part, certainly involve 'hyperaesthetic perception,' for
the operator seeks as well as possible to conceal the
moment when the magnet is brought into play, and yet
the subject not only finds it out that moment in a way
difficult to understand, but may develop effects which
( in the first instance certainly ) the operator did
not expect to find. Unilateral contractures,
movements, paralysis, hallucinations, etc., are made
to pass to the other side of the body, hallucinations
to disappear, or to change to the complementary color,
suggested emotions to pass into their opposites, ect.
Many Italian observations agree with the French ones,
and the upshot is that if unconscious suggestion lie
at the bottom of this matter, the patients show an
enormously exalted power of divining what it is they
are expected to do. This hyperaesthetic perception is
what concerns us now. { I myself verified many of the
above effects of the magnet on a blinded subject on
whom I was trying them for the first time, and whom I
believe to have never heard of them before. The
moment, however, an opaque screen was added to the
blindfolding, the effects ceased to coincide with the
approximation of the magnet, so that it looks as if
visual perception had been instrumental in producing
them.
