Maybe I'm not getting this but...

How does directly staring at the sun do anything different than having it hit your skin, or having it absorb in your peripheral vision over time?

Sometimes I feel like all this type of talk is placebo effect at its finest.

I bet if I told someone (and did it very seriously) that hanging upside down for 30 minutes a day above a steam machine, surrounded by incense, would bring you closer to enlightenment.

And if you did it, it would heal all your emotional issues. And you'd lose weight, and you'd heal your physical ailments.

And then I got a bunch of people to believe me, or at least go along with me...

Then it seems people would go along with that plan.

Belief creates reality.
