" The trance experience must be vivid, vibrant and intense. The same quasi-professionals will tell you that you cannot be forced by hypnosis to do something against your will. Advertising agencies, religious authorities, political powers and many others find this misinformation very amusing. The fact is that you can be hypnotized to do something against your will, and so one very important goal of magickal hypnotism is to break the magnetic hold these powers and authorities hold over you, and to free yourself. "
