Self hypnotism happens sometimes.

I had this Op-Light once, that was a cylindrical shaped lamp that used the heat of the colored light bulb to cause heat to make it spin causing what is known as the moire effect My little brother read a book about self hypnotism. He thought that it would help him stop smoking. He was concerned for his health and thought that by self hypnosis, he might be able to quit smoking and instead of this, I walked in the room he was staring at this Op-light and I noticed my little brother was in a state of trance. I was aware of the effects of hypnosis and I said in simple words, to get him to snap out of it, "I will count to 3 and you will awaken and not remember anything." "One, Two, Three," after that my little brother opened his eyes and asked,"What just happened?" - I replied, "You hypnotized yourself. You should never do this much less do it alone." I found him trying this again and took that Op-light away and got rid of it. I would have no more of this self hypnosis. It was too dangerous. My brother was very sensitive to this type of thing. If I had known that this Op-light would be used for self hypnosis I would never have purchased it. It was a fad in the early 1970s when people bought black light posters, wore bell bottom jeans and long hair and burned candles and incense and listened to rock groups such as Black Sabbath and Iron Butterfly during the psychodelic era of the 70s when people were doing all kinds of things with drugs, sex and rock and roll trying to fit in and not fitting in and this is going on today in other ways with the newest generation of youth today. Back then though, the books on hypnotism and pyramid power were all too common. For more information on the Op-Light, look at this link below: However this particular article doesn't include the actual light I am referring to in this discussion. The one I was familiar with was shaped like a cylinder with a light fixture inside an a central pin that suspended a rotating smaller cylinder that when the heat of the light bulb got hot enough, it would produce a heat wave that would in turn, cause the central cylinder to rotate. The two black moire patterns on each of the two cylinders, the outer one being stationary and transparent would create the most interesting form of a moving moire effect or moving kaleidoscope effect that was very similar to an animated fractal moving object or objects that seem to radiate into infinity based on a math algorithm of some sort.
