- Ok, you just defined intelligence as something completely different to
- the statement you are disagreeing with. What you must mean is that you
- disagree with my definition of intelligence. Fine, so do I. But my posting
- says "what many people refer to ..." and is intended to make a point.
-
- What I refer to are the 'voices' chattering away in your head that go to
- make up your psyche. ( For anyone who isn't aware of the 'voices', try the
- exercise of thinking of absolutely nothing for 5 minutes - anyone who
- manages it is welcome to mail me!.) These 'voices' have been discussed at
- length by Jung and others and go way out of the scope of this thread but
- form a large part of your personality - wrinkles, neuroses and all.

-
- Clearly! If you don't like the idea of someone else trying to help you,
- try meditation or just plain relaxation techniques. They are both very
- beneficial for dealing with stress etc
-
- |> As regards hypnotic regression, I don't believe a word of it.
- |> blah blah blah
-
- I don't know how we got onto this, but while were here... People are
- capable of regressing themselves, without the aid of any other suggestion.
-
- I sense a great deal of aggression and a deep mis-trust of others...
