I found this posting on the origins of the word addiction very
interesting too.
On another note, I like to think that positive/resourceful memories
that we lay down in our minds are like the financial banking
system. The memories are there to tap into at any time. Using an
anchor as an accessing cue makes the reserves easily available to
utilize at any time and in any place. This is a currency which we
can use to trade with in any location.
Let us know Byron when you are in England again so that we can meet
next time.
BTW, I will be going to Romania in November for a complementary
therapy conference. I hope to give a paper and run one or two
workshops when I am there.
Take care,
