[QUOTE="Ancoulainn, post: 9872279, member: 7056539"] Correct! You don't have to accept anything. No one forces you and I frankly don't care what you accept. I makes no difference to me either way. Let me quote the passage again and highlight the relevant part to illustrate why that's wrong: [I]"Autosuggestion is a psychological technique related to the placebo effect, ... . It is a form of self-induced suggestion in which individuals guide their own thoughts, feelings, or behavior. The technique is often used in self-hypnosis. ... [Dr. Parkyn] defined it as the process by which an individual [B]consciously[/B] or unconsciously directs influence upon the involuntary mind."[/I] I can quote further: [I]Parkyn described the two aspects as the [B]voluntary[/B] and involuntary parts of a single mind. The involuntary mind, he explained, governs every function of the body, serves as the seat of the emotions, and holds the complete record of experience. It operates automatically and cannot reason independently, yet remains open to the influence of the [B]voluntary mind[/B], which is the [B]conscious[/B] and reasoning faculty. Through repetition and focused attention, the [B]voluntary mind[/B] can stimulate, restrain, or completely alter the operations of the involuntary mind.[/I] As I said, unless you have a PhD in Psychology, I suggest we agree to disagree on this. On a sidenote: The difference between your "RAI" and the science behind autosuggestion is that the former is based on "Trust me, Bro" and, unless you spoke with Jeremy Crawford or one of the other designers and creators, solely your own opinion and the latter is actual science. And while there is your opinion, there's also my opinion, Pack Tactics' opinion, and a lot of other opinions and they are all equal. [/QUOTE]
