    Hypnosis has long captured the imagination of people worldwide. From ancient shamanic rituals to modern therapeutic practices, the concept of influencing the subconscious mind has evolved significantly. But what is hypnosis, and why does it hold such intrigue? This chapter sets the stage for an exploration of hypnosis, dispelling myths, uncovering truths, and providing a foundation for understanding its power and potential.  
      
    At its core, hypnosis is a state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility, often accompanied by deep relaxation. Contrary to popular belief, hypnosis is not about losing control or being at the mercy of someone else’s will. Instead, it is a collaborative process in which the subject actively engages with their subconscious mind. Hypnosis allows access to a realm of untapped potential within us, where behaviors, emotions, and even memories reside.  
      
    One of the most persistent myths surrounding hypnosis is its portrayal as mystical or magical. Popular culture has often depicted hypnotists as enigmatic figures wielding a pendulum to control unsuspecting subjects. These dramatizations have fueled skepticism and fear, overshadowing the scientific principles that underpin hypnosis. Understanding hypnosis requires recognizing that it is a natural phenomenon deeply rooted in human psychology and neuroscience.

    The economic history of Colombia is a rich and complex narrative shaped by its colonial past, its struggle for independence, and its evolution into a modern, globalized economy. Colombia’s economic trajectory is marked by cycles of growth, stagnation, and reform, heavily influenced by both internal and external forces. To understand Colombia’s present-day economic standing, it is essential to first explore the historical context that laid the foundation for its economic structure. 
    The history of Colombia’s economy begins with its pre-Colombian civilizations, which thrived through agriculture and trade. The Spanish colonization in the 16th century drastically altered the region's economic systems. Colombia became a key part of the Spanish Empire’s colonial economy, centered on the extraction of gold, silver, and agricultural products. During the colonial era, the economic structure was based on a system of encomiendas, which exploited Indigenous labor, and the export of valuable resources to Spain. This period was foundational in creating the early foundations of the Colombian economy, particularly its dependence on mineral wealth. 
    The struggle for independence from Spain in the early 19th century, which culminated in 1810 with the declaration of independence and a protracted series of wars, significantly disrupted the economy. The wars of independence led to the fragmentation of the region into several separate entities, each facing economic challenges as they sought to stabilize and develop. Upon achieving independence in 1819, Colombia faced a host of problems, including political fragmentation, lack of infrastructure, and limited industrial capacity. These challenges hindered the country's economic development for much of the 19th century.

    The epic battle that turned the tide of the Civil War is vividly recounted in the words of soldiers and civilians who experienced it. The Battle of Gettysburg is perhaps the most famous conflicts of the American Civil War. Over the course of three brutal and bloody days in July of 1863, Confederate General Robert E. Lee attempted an invasion of the north, which was in the end successfully repelled by Major General George Meade’s Army of the Potomac.   Though this epic battle has been minutely studied, Witness to Gettysburg offers a new perspective. Historian Richard Wheeler tells the story in both historical and human terms, almost entirely through the words of participants, both soldier and civilian, male and female.   The technical statements in these firsthand accounts have been checked against official records and the personal stories have been verified as credible. Through this process, Wheeler has produced a war narrative that is both immediate and authoritative.
