Maybe when you need a break from posting adlinks on random comments threads you should take ten minutes and read Dr. H. A. Moynihan. It’ll knock your socks off.

You might check him out. Peake is no Wo Wo proponent. His work is all based on reputable, if advanced, neuroscience and physics.Bob Boldthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04436125539423052914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8407679229975998493.post-60410026229746199482016-03-30T22:12:36.890-06:002016-03-30T22:12:36.890-06:00Thank you for this beautiful and insightful analys...Thank you for this beautiful and insightful analysis.
