"do you mean like hypnosis?" I ask (illus.)

 My brother, B__, and I are at a large church (in the religion we grew up in, which I left in real life years ago). I have a brand new suit on, and someone tells me that I dress up nice. I'm pleased since it's been a long time since I've heard a compliment like that. 

However, I find a couch in the lobby and lay back on it lazily, not caring what people might think of that. My brother comes along with a diagram. "This is what the minister is speaking about," he says, and shows it to me:

He runs his index finger down each of the columns while explaining how it helps a person. I can't understand him, though, and say, "Do you mean like hypnosis?"
