is samyak darshan self hypnosis, because you are distinguishing between rag and dwesh

No. Samyak darshan is not self-hypnosis.

In Jain Dharma, samyak darshan means right faith / right perception — a clear, truthful inner understanding of:

• the soul (jiva),
• karma,
• bondage,
• liberation,
• and the difference between pure self-awareness and attachment-aversion.

When you distinguish rāg and dveṣ in yourself, that is vivek and jñān-dṛṣṭi — right discernment. It is not imagination or autosuggestion.

Simple distinction:

• Self-hypnosis = convincing oneself of something without true realization.
• Samyak darshan = seeing things as they are, through inner clarity, faith, and correct understanding.

In Jain view:

Rāg and dveṣ are not “you”; they are states of bondage arising from karmic influence. Recognizing them is part of right vision, because it helps one move toward:

• non-attachment
• equanimity
• self-restraint
• liberation

So, distinguishing rāg and dveṣ is not denial or hypnosis — it is spiritual discrimination.

If you want, I can also explain the difference between samyak darshan, samyak jñān, and samyak charitra in simple Jain terms.
