I'm back!

The results form members have had with PATHS are rather amazing, but I would have thought this forum especially would be better educated about the powers of self hypnotism and belief.

My wife knows how unusual that is for me. I'm a total night owl who typically goes to bed somewhere between 2am and 4am, so waking up early is like the worst torture for me.

Anyway, I woke up at 8:30 and immediately I thougth "Oh man, that's my PATHS wake up time!" and while walking to my computer room I thought "Watch, there will now be an email in my inbox from PATHS saying they 'fixed' something." Guess what? There was an email! Apperently my email got lost in someone's inbox but they found it on Monday night and at 3:00amish that night (Tuesday morning) they sent it off to their office to get fixed. Whatever they did worked because I woke up right at 8:30am that morning.

So get this... this morning she woke up early, and lay there waiting with one eye open to see what happens at 8:30am. She didn't do anything, she just watched. At 8:30am I was in a dead sleep, like I actually remember the dream I was having, and then 8:30am BANG my eyes open and I'm ready to jump out of bed. My wife is like "Shut the f&*( up! You were in a DEAD sleep! WTF!?" I just turned to her and said "Indian Yogi's honey, Indian Yogi's!"

I looked at the clock and it said 8:32am So third day in a row I've gotten up at 8:30am EXACTLY (not 8:31, not 8:29, 8:30am!) No alarm clock, nothing.

I have NOT been going to sleep earlier. IN fact last night I didn't go to bed until 3:38am, the night before it was 2:30am, the night before it was around 2:00am. My typical schedule before paths was go to sleep around 2:30ish, wake up around 9:15-9:30 or so.

This thing is doing SOMETHING. I don't know what, but it's doing something.

Here's the problem. I just logged into my PATHS account and control panel because I was thinking about adding a few more modules, and I looked at my sleep times and I actually set my wake up time for 8:00am not 8:30am!!! I think I was originally going to set it for 8:30am but then I picked 8:00am and totally forgot about it, and that's the way it's been for 2 weeks so then this thing is NOT what's been waking me up at exactly 8:30am!

So now I've got an even bigger problem. (1) I can't trust this thing because it's been programmed to wake me up at 8:00am and I've been waking up at 8:30am...and (2) Since I HAVE been waking up at exactly 8:30am since I *thought* that was the time I originally set in PATHS it must mean that I was able to program my subconscious mind to wake me up at 8:30am WITHOUT PATHS, therefore it means that it's a placebo effect!

He said it with such believe and intensity that i was never late again for his class.
i since have been because i forgot about that belief, but its been my experience if you REALLY want to wake up (like when I am traveling and need to catch a train or something ) you do.

impaul99 is now trying to get his refund.
