Whatever the trance-
inducing mechanism,
technique, or
stimulus,
he did 'calm' the snake down by the way he 'occupied its attention'
before 'lulling' it to 'sleep' - just as stage 'hypnotists' do with their 'subjects'. This
wasn't something the snake would 'naturally' do, not in its 'normal' waking life. And a 'trance' (i.e.
specifically oriented gestalt of consciousness and corollary attitude) attitude)
is a 'trance'!
Please note that
I didn't speak of 'magic' mind 'tricks'. I spoke of more power-fully (adeptly?) focused minds-n-spirits mentally and spiritually
influencing less power-fully focused ones. I'd bet that if
you 'aimed' to 'touch'-
influence
such a snake like that, there'd be a completely diferent result.
IOW, this is not a function of just pushing physical 'buttons'.
