Deep trance identification
Deep Trance Identification (DTI) is a process of inductive modeling wherein the modeler utilizes hypnotic trance as the primary learning process. In hypnosis the modeler will associate into the model and experience the world through the perspective of the model including the model's states, thoughts, beliefs, and values.
History
Early history
While DTI in a broad sense has been a part of cultural and religious traditions for millennium, it is relatively new as a hypnotic process. The earliest example comes from Margaret Mead and Gregory Bateson's study and filming of the "Trance and Dance in Bali" in the 1930s. These culturally and religiously vital performances told the story of the defeat of an evil witch by human transformed into a dragon. During the performances dancers would fully become the characters in the drama and exhibit unusual behaviors such as stabbing themselves with small knives (without harming themselves) and dramatic changes in physiology including catalepsy and convulsions. Mead and Bateson presented these videos to Milton Erickson who theorised on the process of hypnosis occurring in the performances. The video of the Balinese Trance Dance was released in 1952. His experiments consisted of 3 groups, a control group-students who were not hypnotized, students who were hypnotized and received positive suggestions, and students who were hypnotized and were taught to "be in the skin of" some of the great musicians throughout history. Students who were in the third group scored significantly higher on their exams in both technical proficiency and artistic interpretation.
Raikov's technique involved inducing a deep trance where students were regressed to an early age. From there they would associate into the model and grow up mastering the musical instrument as the master musician.
