Hypnotism causes changes in brain

Hypnotism is a process by which a person is made to act according to the instructions of some body else i.e. the brain of the native is made to behave not on its own and its normal function is changed. In Medical Astrology, the brain is signified by the Sun and any change or abnormal behaviour is signified by Rahu which is a bitter enemy for the Sun. Therefore, when a person is hypnotized, Rahu is called into action on the brain and as the result of such repeated actions, the brain may suffer from some permanent changes, thus providing the astrological explanation for this research work.

Chronic pain can alter the brain

In Medical Astrology, chronic pain in the human body is signified by Saturn which is also the significator of depression, anxiety, endurance etc. Brain is signified by the Sun which is a bitter enemy for Saturn and vice-verse.

Drop the ego for enlightenment

In the Zodiac, the starting point of the life process is Aries, the cardinal fiery sign of Tamas nature ruled by Mars. The 5^th sign is Leo, the fixed fiery sign of Rajas nature ruled by the Sun and the 9^th sign is Saggitarius, the dual fiery sign of Sattwik nature ruled by Jupiter. The 5^th house/sign signifies knowledge while the 9^th house/sign signifies wisdom, conscience etc. Mars is highly egoistic and being of Tamas fiery nature as in Aries, the ego becomes highly increased. Sun and Jupiter also have egos but of moderate nature. But when related with Rahu by deposition or aspect, egoistic nature of all the three becomes highly increased. When eclipsed by Rahu, the knowledge of the Sun and the wisdom of Jupiter become shadowed and can not be acquired by the native. So, if ego be forsaken, the function of Rahu becomes diminished and as the result knowledge and wisdom represented by the Sun and the Jupiter can be acquired by the native resulting in enlightenment thus being explained in terms of Astrology.
