I agree, totally. Auditing is a formal, directed, bio-feedback session, with an additional factor of electrical stimulus. The mark turns over control of his mind to the auditor, and the emeter tells him where he's to go looking, and when he's to stop. >Anderson reports authors and experts would probably have seen it, >were it not for the fact that study on the effects of electricity >on the brains was relatively new, and a Soviet interest during the >time it was written.

Remember, E-meter is not an option, >it's a _requirement_! Absolutely right. There is no way to go up the bridge without an emeter. Or with a bs-meter. Rev Dennis Erlich * * the inFormer * *
