All this is good and fine. But what is the difference with long term psycho-analysis or other "traditional" -- somewhat looked down upon methods. Or simple building a "strong character". "ruthless selfÂ-examination and the deepening of a willingness to bear whatever it takes to stay true" could be the description of many protagonists in much literature, drama and film. ------------------------ Yahoo!
