People And Ideas
Myth, Magic Or Medicine?
by Craig A. Myatt
When Dr. Shawn Masters, the
highest paid hypnotist in the
world, visited Morehouse
College on February 15, how did
the Health Careers Society
entertain him?.Well, they let Dr.
Masters do what he probably
enjoys doing most: Dr. Masters
hypnotized several Morehouse
students.
From his instructing of one
student in regression to the age
of 5 to his painless sticking of pins
through another’s arm, Dr.
Masters, a Ph.D. in hypnosis,
amazed and enriched everyone
present at the Health Careers
Society meeting.
Dr. Masters, internationally
based in Atlanta, encourages all
students pursuing a career in
medicine to take a greater in
terest in hypnosis. Hypnosis is an
art/ science that ancient Egyp
tians practiced hundreds of years
ago in their great North African
nation. The ancient Egyptian
Imoteph is known to have prac
ticed hypnosis. There are
thousands of qualified
physicians in the United States
today and only a small percen
tage perform hypnosis.
Modern physicians who do
perform hypnosis generally use
it to avoid anesthetizing their
patients. A patient of Dr. Masters
shared her experience of self -
hypnosis before going into sur
gery. In surgery, the doctors
successfully delivered a ten
pound, four ounce, baby boy
with no complications —
without anesthesia or drugs.
The Health Careers Society
will soon release their spring
schedule. Meeting are generally
held on the first and third
Monday of each month at six in
the evening in Brawley 100. It
should be noted thus far this year
that eleven Morehouse students
have been accepted to Medical
and Dental school. On March 29
a representative from Harvard
University School of Medicine
will interview interested
students.
Poetry
All poems written and composed by Scott Christmon
TURN AWAY
You turn and walk away
Like there’s some words you want to say
But my heart was like a sponge
And you squeezed it for your fun
I thought you really did care
But my heart you didn’t spare
But like the rest you left me cold
Just with my pillow left to hold
You’ve broken my heart
How could you do it
In the beginning no one would have knew it
As I walk towards the door
I feel you say don’t come here anymore
With all my hopes
And all my dreams
You seem to fit into everything I planned
Now you’re gone and Tm alone
Just me'and
Your number that lies by the telephone

SEEKING
Seeking acceptance
Was never my way
Because I believe a man
Has to go his own way
For the person who stands alone
When everyone else has gone
Must stand stiff and must stand strong
He will be condemned
For being different
And people will ask why this is so
But deep in his heart he knows
This is the way he must go
He will be mocked, scough, and ridiculed
For the life that he leads
He sees he is different through his
Various deeds
In taking time to think of why I am this way
God only knows, so this is the way I’ll stay
For with all the loneliness, anger, and solitude
I sometimes feel
At least there are a few things in the world which
Are For Real

THEY SAID
And they said unto him go forth and achieve your destiny, )
Never look back at past errors for you are only human.
For with every new day there’s a new chance.
For your destiny lies in the farthest horizon set north to
the skies and seas.
SOME THOUGHTS
Sometimes when the clouds
Are so dark and grey
You realize how fast time
Slips away
From baby to teenager, now a man
Reality has finally found me just I am
