Rolf:
As I said, my interest in NLP is marginal--I'm working on PhotoReading right now. Perhaps I'll explore NLP later, although I doubt I'll share your preconceived disdain.
I feel I've wasted a lot of energy responding to you and Martin rather than exploring my own reactions to the program. Honestly, if you've already decided this is bunk, why do you stick around?
The two of you quote "science" that "disproves" the efficacy of Scheele's work. I've briefly reviewed your references and feel it's research by proclamation. You've already seen my responses, which I freely label as my opinions. Any real scientist knows that the history of science is one of revolution and change. Little remains carved in stone for long. A good scientist remains skeptical, but open-minded.
In my opinion, Scheele doesn't resort to the paranormal--whatever that is--in his system. He does say, however, that attitude and an emotional approach to the material are both crucial.
Belief--faith, if you will--is pure emotion. It is also one of the most powerful of human experiences. As an emotion, however, little is served by attempting to measure, quantify, or categorize faith. In other words, while we've all had some experience with this emotion in some way--not necessarily religious--it's quite hard to subject it to scientific scrutiny.
For my part, I freely choose to accept most of the statements by the long-time PhotoReaders on this board in the spirit they were offered. It's an experience I envy, but I'm not afraid to just follow the steps and give it a try. I don't expect mastery overnight. As I approach the not-so-tender age of 54, I know nothing worthwhile in life comes easily.
I started these threads with the hope of challenging some of the system's assertions, but fairly and with an open mind. Several people on this board have responded with encouragement and advice. Others--notably you and Martin--offer criticism, negativism, and baffoonery. In case it's eluded you, I'm spending my own time, energy, and hard-earned money on this system, not yours. 
So have the last word, Rolf. In the future, I choose to ignore both of you and won't feed your egos by responding directly in public again.
