i've got a theory about you...

but no proof...

all i can say is, if all of this means that much to you (and i can only assume it does as you've mentioned it so much) - is to go and do the research into whether there's a theory, or proof around...

rather than just ask someone else to provide it for you...make some phone calls, send some emails, go and talk to some people...

and if all this means that much to you, then maybe try and raise some awareness about it all being hokum, and go to the press or publish your own articles?

but, ultimately - i bet you don't...

After a swift Google.....

For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don’t believe, no proof is possible. Traditional Saying
Science has proof without any certainty. Creationists have Certainty without any proof. C. E. Montague
Absence of proof is not proof of absence. William Cowper
The voice of the majority is no proof of justice. Johann Friedrich Von Schiller
The average man is proof enough that a woman can take a joke. Source Unknown
Laughing is not always the proof of a mind at ease. French Proverb

Not sure about that one second to last...

here you go, to kick start your research, go and read through this little bit:

then onto this big boy, I'm sure those people can aid you:

Which is precisely why I gave up on this thread. What's that saying about dead horses again?

I find it puzzling mrgoat that you continually ask people to provide you with evidence that you don't seem to want to search for yourself. I learned about hypnosis through lots and lots of reading and sheer hard work. Interestingly, if you DID do some work of your own on this subject, you'd find that double blind tests on hypnosis are not possible. You have been asking for something that doesn't actually exist.

All the journals you seek articles from are available online, most of the abstracts are free. Some you'll have to pay for. You really need to stop asking us the same questions over and over and go look for yourself. You have convinced me that Mandrake's first quote applies to you mrgoat. I mean all that in a polite way.

Good luck with your search for knowledge. But, I somehow think you're in for a disappointment.

And at this point I think we're all done.....
