If you were to purposefully develop your own delusion, when you awaken from that hypnotic state would you be able to see through the mechanism of all other delusions and how they robotize people?

Only if you take the budda version.
When you trancend everything there are no more illusions.
And you understand through experience.

no- this is a bit akin to asking if people who are invisible can see each other- good science fiction. It might be suggested to one while in the hypnotic state that upon awakening he could see through delusions bu in that case we are dealing with being deluded into thinking we can see through delusions, very permutated

no... the person would still have their lifelong experiential history as the foundation of their understanding of the world, and one set of delusions will not enlighten them to any degree beyond an awareness that other perceptions may be faulty. LSD has a more marked "enlightening" effect in that it makes you realize how deceiving your perceptions can be. So it might lead to an awareness that leads to the sort of introspection that could lead to "seeing through the curtain," but the hypnosis itself will not directly lead to any such epiphony, which I think few people are inherently capable of.

No. Understanding ones own delusion is no way precludes the ability to see thorugh others' delusions.

I suppose it would depend on exactly what delusion you developed in the first place.
