Fater QV : >Transferring an idea into food is purely an imaginary process. I wonder about the meaning of the "imaginary". I think you do not mean "unreal". The term "placebo", as a real medicine, only not having anything to do with a pill itself, seems nearer that meaning. But what would the consenquence be if I transfer an idea into someone elses food? Would he be influenced even if not knowing about it? Of course *I* am influenced, when eating, by my former action (putting a certain idea there). Self-suggestion? Stu
