George,
It may have to do w/ approach.
I looked at how wonderfully the German tapes were put together & decided to go w/ the advertisement.
Then i looked at all the testimonials in the PhRing book & accepted that even if they were exaggerated, it still was amazing.
Then i thought the course was well assembled & valuable even w/o PhRing.
But, the main thing is that i just KNEW intuitively that it is possible. I finally figured it out how it's possible later on. I was never skeptical at all b/c something inside me said it was easily attainable. So i practiced & it works.
But, it is a little unnerving to see how little conscious ego control is needed to activate & get the most out of the PhRing technique. It all works & i had very little self confidence in myself when i started.
The amount of self confidence i gleened from the course was priceless. I could never pay LS for what i received from the course & Dana's coaching.
Good luck & give YOURSELF a chance to learn it.
