You’re talking about a belief system when you were referring to “reasoning” right? If we can change our belief systems perhaps our subconscious minds will have a more positive effect on our lives….
OUCH Dr Ginger… no soul? That’s obviously a controversial topic. We are still learning about our body…. are you kidding me…. WHy people can’t change their minds… Ya … ya think???? wired into our brains… by MEDIA>….. and by the universal belief systems….by educational systems…… etc etc etc…….
They are not scientifically validated because Science ever so slowly and very conseratively opening the doors to the new paradigm ……..of instant healing… etc…. these are things “I” would like to know more about.
