Thread: The Alone Mantra Technique

But that doesn't make it work if it won't, and so the next night or whenever it will fail, and you are left wondering why.

Now if this works for a few days afterwards and keeps going, then it can't be placebo, it actually works. That's what I'm waiting for. I'm not "hurr, this is new, I'm don't think it's going to work, therefore every success is placebo", I'm monitoring this and everyone's attempts to see if it works before putting my time into it. There are loads of people on DV, ready to try new things. I'm already trying out two new techniques myself, I'm not going to take another on board unless some people here can confirm it works.

DO NOT COME ON SOMEONE ELSES THREAD SCREAMING "PLACEBO, PLACEBO" UNTIL YOU HAVE TRIED IT. Ignorant shit.

Calm the fuck down man, jesus christ.

Listen, how was I screaming PLACEBO all over this thread? I never said it wasn't go to work or I hoped it didn't work or everyone who tried it was going to fail.
I thought about my post earlier and yes, I agree, it was a little ignorant of me to just point that out.

But holy fuck calm down mate, overkill.

And I do expect an apology for that.

thanks for posting your progress with the technique
