The hypnosis seemed to be achieved early on when we read those largely indecipherable books, often starting with Dianetics, and we went into a mild trance whereby many of us became open circuits to each and everything else that Hubbard wrote. It all just went into our minds, bypassing our analytical filters. Then, for those who escaped the mind numbing effects from the books there were the TR's...
Yeah, I think most of us entered the realm of L. Ron as pre-hypnotised subjects anyway. Pre-hypnotised by our grade school through high school educations where we were required to absorb every shred of dribble that spewed from the mouth of an adult who stood before us as our teacher who had the power to decide our grade based upon how much we could parrot. A grade that determined what good will, or lack of, that we'd expect to receive from our parents based upon our grades. Many of us got in fresh out of high school and our lower levels were even called "grades".I think the whole idea that any hypnosis was involved was because the idea that 'only the intelligent could be hypnotised' appealed.
I never thought of the grades of scientology going up the grades as you say and never quite connected those dots with high school, but Hubbard certainty paralleled it. I mean I went to grade school, it was grades 1-5 back in the day, and onto high school, grades 6-8, and then college.
According To my readings on the subject of hypnosis trances you are correct. The driving on the highway, is often given as an exemple of light trance AND also light dissociation.
It is well known among stage hypnotists that there are certain 'types' who are easy to hypnotise. They are not intelligent types. They are mostly alcoholics, neurotics and similar personality types.
Wow! I'd forgotten about those upper indoc TR's as I skipped doing the HQS course.
Though it may sound off the wall but the masturbation that most of us began to engage in when we hit puberty was to a certain degree - self hypnosis, where one learned to delude one's inner self that there was a certain partner engaging in sexual contact with us when in fact they were not.According To my readings on the subject of hypnosis trances you are correct.

Although I don't know if such hypnosis techniques were used with auditing, but I must admit the pre engeneered design le the lists, events and implants that we must have agreed upon...and considering their absolute and total stoopid bullshit that we, wise people, finally believed and paid hundreds of thousands of $ to be relieved of their impact on our pseudo spiritual being...
I'd say there is, certainly , suggestion and mind manipulation involved in implanting such non-sense Hubtard lunatic beliefs...
Otherwise we would have said very early:
" fuck off retards.."
Yes, that's why I've always thought labelling someone a 'wanker' was the height of hypocrisy.
Creative imagination has never played much of a role in my fapping fantasies. Normally they'd be re-runs of previous encounters with a favourite partner.Of course!
We would never have such required fantasy and imagination talents...
