Unfortunately there is no possible experiment that would prove this dogma correct. Like most religious/mystic/spiritualistic beliefs they are based on people's perceptions of reality. If you can change that perception, you can change people's reality.

Steve, on a more serious note, seek help. If there are things that can be changed but that aren't happening for you, someone out there can help. If it can't be changed, then no amount of hoping or positive thinking will help I'm afraid. Sometimes an ear to bend can make you fell at least a bit better about life, sometimes just verbalising the problem diminishes it, a problem shared is a problem halved.

I'm not going to participate in this, not because it's not scientific (those that know me know I'm a bit of a stickler over this), but because it's promoting something which I believe is and has always been a sham. People may say that it's harmless, but I saw a story on the telly the other week about a young girl with an aggressive form of cancer who's parents had removed her from care because her Grandmother's tea (and a lot of prayer to a church) would cure her. When the child dies, they'll say it was God's will. Well I don't subscribe to any of this mysticism, old or new Age, it hurts people, it gives them false hope, it kills.

Cheers
