'Stating your wishes in the present tense': isn't that euphemism for lying?!

Aren't you trying to turn everything into psychology? This is no Matrix. Not
even Budha denied the existence of pain, so instead of mentalizing Nirvana
he prescribed ways to get there through self-transformation, that is, hard
work. Regarding your larynx, it seems to me you have to develop control over
it ( and so do I ) which depends on having the nerves in the laryngeal area
'addressed' by the brain. You need a good voice pathologist, not a self-help
book. Beware of pop culture. Counter-culture is big business nowadays.

>Absolutely! That's the whole point. You can program your subconscious
mind
>(and others have done it for you for years!) to believe whatever you wish!


Programming your subconscious mind to believe whatever you wish doesn't mean
being whatever you wish you are. I've never heard of a transexual who turned
into a woman just because he/she/? felt like one! Unless all women are
transexuals?...Oh, my G...
