Is it possible to brainwash yourself, and if so can you undo it?

Yes, you can tell yourself your whole life that you hate a specific food and naturally, you won't like it because you keep telling yourself that.\n\nI overcame that one.  I told myself all my life that I didn't like chili or goulash.  But one day my b/f's mother made a goulash and I didn't want to be rude or impolite and not eat the very food that she just made for us!  So I told myself hey, I think I will like it because it has macaroni noodles and spaghetti sauce and cheese, what more could I ask for and why would I not like it?  I tried it and I LOVED her recipe!  So you basically have to tell yourself the opposite and tell yourself that you're not afraid of certain things or whatever the case may be, you can get yourself to believe anything that you want to.

Absolutely.\n\nTo rid ourselves of "Body Thetans" and also “engrams” (past negative experiences stored in our unconscious mind) so that we can become “clear”, we have to go through "auditing" with a member of the “church” who uses an "e-meter" to measure our “reactive mind”...... and we have to pay lots and lots and lots of money for “auditing” (purchased in 12.5-hour blocks, costing anywhere from $750 for introductory sessions to between $8,000 and $9,000 for advanced sessions) and to take courses on Scientology to advance to higher “levels” in the “church”.  The “church” has also taken a very hostile stance towards psychiatry and psychiatric drugs irrespective of the fact that some people require medication to remain adequately functional in everyday life.  They deny the reality of chemical imbalance and profound mental disturbance and accordingly do NOTHING to effectively stabilize the dangerously unstable. The “church” has been known to withhold prescription pharmaceuticals from member (with deadly results).\n\nThey claim that you can spend less money on Scientology than you would on a psychiatrist and their drugs, but consider the prices of all the books, all the auditing, all the tests you have to take to attain higher levels (and if you fail, you have to pay to retest).

I wasn't a witch or a wiccan but I used to practice voodoo. I wanted to harm people like my high school biology teacher whom I hated for no particular reason. I think I harmed myself far more than I harmed him or anybody else. \n\nPracticing voodoo exposed and amplified the selfishness and evil in my soul. I can see that now. I look back and realize how foolish I was, though I didn't then. \n\nI praise and thank God that He brought me to Jesus and led me to repent and ask Jesus for the forgiveness of my sins. I was raised in a church but never particularly cared for God before. My parents were scared by my sudden conversion. They thought that I was brainwashed or hypnotized by some cult.\n\nI have to laugh when I read how some a-gnostic or a-theist or a---something claims that Christians are brainwashed. I know what I was like, and I was nasty, selfish, egotistic, arrogant, and headed for no good. Jesus cleansed me and saved me. If that's brainwashing, give me more!\n\nWhat if I hadn't been saved? What if I got frustrated with voodoo and tried something like poison, or knives or guns? What people who claim that Christians are brainwashed overlook is this: Don't compare two different individuals. Compare before-and-after. I know what I was like before. The world is better off with me the way I am now.\n\nI want to encourage everybody who has dabbled in the occult to give it up. Most of it is powerless. That part of it which is not powerless is not under your control; you are under its control. There's no such thing as the force of star wars which you can tap into and use to aggrandize yourself. By the time it starts to manipulate you, it may be too late to get away from it. \n\nJesus holds the true supernatural power in His hand. He is the One who can deliver you from evil, and from being evil, the way He delivered me. Call out to Him in trust and obedience today!

I believe that you have a mental confusion.  I do not require thoughts in order to perceive.  Also thoughts can be controlled through discipline of the mind.  This has been recorded for several centuries.\n\nThe human mind is a tool.  Thoughts are the results of using this tool.  If the tool is not required, then the mind can be shut off.  Just because you may not be able to do this does not make this a Universal condition.\n\nYes, you can control thoughts.  Yes, with training or discipline, you can stop it, mold it, shape it or do anything with it.

We are all "brainwashed" from childhood- by parents, kindergarden, school, friends, college, work, and yes,by media.\nWhat do you see/hear/read has been edited to certain level (sometimes to "very far from the truth), but it is your choice to listen to it or shut it down.\nIf some structure will try to brainwash you too strong - you will lose any trust for it and stop using it (example -in Soviet Union was newspaper called "Truth" -  and there was saying that if it is in "truth"- then it must be false).\nPolitcorrectness though is been mastered by media ,however i think that government is not the one to blame.

Yes I have and probably will again, being only human. It usually happens after I've done something that makes me feel like a complete fool everytime I think about it! Whatever has happened to you probably isn't as bad as you think it is right now and you'll live through it one way or another, Talk to pinkstealth there. She looks like she's got her ears on and waiting for you.

You can't, if you turn away you were not savesd to begin with. If your salvation is real ypu will change your behavior to reflect it.

You don't "get" a non-believer to become a believer - that implies you want control of his mind, lending credence to the idea of brainwashing. Instead, you calmly present your opinions (*IF* asked for them), and you have the courtesy and respect for the "non-believer" that you'd wish him to have of you, and allow him to make up his *own* mind *without* any undue outside pressure to "see the truth."

No. I think that you are very mess-up person.

A person who is brainwashed doesn't have free will.  They may THINK that they do, but in reality, they do not.\n\nYou cannot have free will if the reasoning you are using to make your 'free' thinking decisions are tainted.
