ABOUT THE PROJECT

Hubert is a prolific writer, traveler and explorer. Among his many
passions there is one resulting in an interest in hypnosis and altered
states of consciousness. He is also a friend of one of the authors (Jan Dyba). One day they were discussing an experience of hypnosis and Hubert mentioned Milton Erickson's paper "A Special Inquiry with Aldous Huxley into the Nature and Character of Various States of Consciousness" describing in brief his broad project focused on experimenting with various hypnotic states. Hubert asked the author if they could repeat the project and check how far they could go into a deep trance phenomena. Additionally Hubert mentioned, that recently he was experiencing a writer's block and was unable to write.

In the end it was stated, that they will engage in a project which aim
will be to reach the deepest possible trance states and elicit deepest and most complex possible hypnotic phenomena. Additionally, by doing that, they will make attempts to free and stimulate Hubert's creative endeavors.

All together Hubert went through 8 sessions with one of the authors (Jan Dyba) focused on experiencing deep trance phenomena and one final session with dr Kathryn L. Rossi. All sessions were recorded and documented. Here we present the session of Hubert with dr Kathryn L. Rossi together with a detailed analysis performed by dr Kathryn Rossi, Jan Dyba and Hubert himself supplying first hand account.
