nomerci...no, it is not possible. Älso "ÿou are what you think" is not a correct statement in the given scenario when the thought of something came just once and more importantly not to the person to whom what happened, happened and also did not live with the persons who remained in vicinity of the said person so that the person can get influenced by "directed thought's" as you mentioned earlier. And suffice to say for now that time has a big role to play. I am looking for something convincing, so far nowhere near that and one liners are sure not doing any good.

PrincessSarah...your two statements are in contradiction....you say time doesn't matter i.e. it isn't a constraint and then also say its about the frequency of thoughts...say if time stays put then frequency of thoughts becomes irrelevant and vice versa. As for the reference to hypnotism leading to autosuggestion to patients mind, if you believe in it care to explain why isn't it practiced widely...hypnotise someone and poof you are healed of cancer, NO. As for the story of wooden cross, in the absence of details about the complications, medications etc I would refrain to comment on that now. When you refer to dances/ chants which lead to manifestation of beliefs I am willing to accept it as it is an activity carried out over a period of time and supports my understanding that "time is a factor" and is an activity carried out with the knowledge of the person or by the person himself for manifestation of beliefs about himself.. and so again back to a convincing answer to my example, how?
