Western Medicine Does It Again!

I was just reading on MSN about a drug that was developed for the heart but seems to have an amazing effect on the memory. Think of all the rotten things in your life while using the drug and it will take them away and if used sufficiently, premanently.

There were four pages of "posts" regarding the drug and only one person would use it. Everyone else says they can handle their life no matter how bad the past was. I, of course, put in a post for "our cause". Pood

I think one of the most amazing drugs to improve your life, feel better and even make you smarter as new studys show ist working out frequently. If you do that your body produces a lot of great stuff that gives you energy and make you feel good. But I will go and read the article on msn about the other drug there.

Dorothea Brande wrote in "Wake Up and Live" I think in the 1920s about people getting a "purgation of memory" while in hypnosis where they were hypnotized to forget their failures and defeats and supposedly they were much improved and happier therafter -also their performance improved in important areas of work, etc.:cool:

The article referred to forgetting ANYTHING from sexual abuse, mother being murdered when you where a child witnessing it on to PSTD to forgetting about "bringing you-know-who home for the night" 30 years ago. In the 1920's they did not have NLP so our belief is there is no such thing as failure - only feedback. The word failure does not exist in any NLPers vocabulary. It is one of the basic premises upon which NLP was built.

My contention is that one only needs to lose the feelings associated with that/those events and with no feelings attached, the event becomes a non-event. If memories of totally bad behavior are completely removed, what will prevent the person from committing the totally bad behavior again and again.

Some of my past has not been overly pleasant but it has shaped and molded me into the person I am today. I could very well forget one part, but in forgetting that one part, I would be losing many wonderful memories that also occurred at that time.
