HOY-Because I HAD to try it...

[rono]

I wouldn't exactly call it a theory, after doing this since 1992, but take it as you will.

Touché

I'm accustomed to calling anything that I cannot access or test the data a 'theory' it doesn't demean it, it just allows it to be superseded when new info emerges as it almost always does in scientific investigation.

"Theory" is a word frequently abused by those outside the scientific establishment.  In formal hard science circles, a thing is a theory until it becomes a law, as far as I recall, which can take decades or even a century or more.  In that sense, certainly it is indeed a theory.  But most people don't use the word in that sense, they use it as a way of throwing shade on something, or casting it as doubtful.  In the former usage, I have no problem with it being called a theory.  The latter rather bothers me.  Good to see it is being used in the former sense, not the latter.

I doubt there will ever be 100% certainty concerning the subconscious awareness, but this I have shared with you has indeed been built upon and survived decades of experimentation, testing and every challenge I could find to throw at it.  It's not a certainty, but it is a very well supported and very strong and stable conclusion.

I'm glad you have the classical understanding of 'theory' as I do. I don't use it to disparage the operating paradigms, just to remind myself that there is always the possibility I might be wrong in some way. Mostly right but for the wrong reasons, etc. I was taught that the 'truth value' of a theory is not as important as its usefulness in interpreting data from the real world.

The unconscious/subconscious deserves more attention than it gets in the scientific community. After discussing my results from the first weeks of experimenting with HOY with my functional medicine/hormone doctor yesterday she was very excited about my 'experiment'. Made me wonder if you'd consider doing a double-blind gold-standard test at some point if you get consistent results? Seems you may have something to add to the existing body of scientific knowledge here. But perhaps you'd have to divulge your IP in order to do that? At any rate I think it merits some more attention.

I have had plans to do a formal double blind clinical trial, or series of them, when I achieved what I believe is worth the time, attention, energy, money, etc, for those involved.  I'm not interested in wasting people's time, whether they are getting paid for the project or not.  We are approaching that situation, but I cannot reveal the scripts that go into these programs.  I would instead like to prove or disprove exactly what they really do in a scientific examination, and perhaps comparison to other known variables.  For example, I would like to do a trial of Advanced Stress Relief and compare it to the effects of a chemical drug for achieving a similar result, like maybe Xanax or something similar.

How I do this is very secret as much because it costs me a lot of time, money and work to figure out and I don't want to give my work away to competitors, as it is that I don't want this information to fall into the hands of those who would use it for less than positive or honorable things.  And information is one of those things that is very, very difficult to un-do once the cat is out of the bag.

My goal is to show what the human mind and body can do, and open the door to new options for mental, emotional and physical care to be explored by those who have positive intentions.  How I will go about setting it up and funding it is currently not something I have figured out, but there is a lot of potential we do not know we have, which this is going to reveal in ways that cannot be ignored forever.  I'm hoping that it will make the world a better place, and help people have better, richer, more productive and successful lives.  In the process, I would like to make myself independently wealthy in exchange for the decades of work, effort, research, experimentation, expenditure and countless failures that go into achieving each success.  But ultimately, my goal is to open the door to what human potential really is, and I think we have our eyes firmly shut on that in the general scientific community specifically because it is not a hard science field. 

Sadly, the field of psychology as a science seems to be desperately trying to turn itself into a hard science to feel legitimate because hard science does not see it as being such.  But it is not a hard science, and it never will be.  The best we will get on that front is a partial meshing of hard science and psychology, such as biology, chemistry and psychology. 

But I could be quite wrong, in the end.  We shall see.  What I know is that what got me here is a scientific approach, and what will find the truth whatever it turns out to be is a scientific approach.  It is the truth I am after, and so if that means I must admit to being wrong in the future, so be it.  So far, that seems rather unlikely as a whole, although I am constantly making improvements, adjustments and revisions to the minutia of my theory and the work that result from it.

I would absolutely love to have my efforts make a positive contribution to science and the world.  When the time comes that I am finished developing what I am developing, I will certainly be looking for clinical double blind gold standard trials to verify what I believe I have achieved.

I figured it was the question of Intellectual Property (IP), the contents & structure of your scripts, etc. that held you back. I had not actually thought about the aspect of using such powerful technology for ill-- I definitely don't want the current US gov't (or ANY gov't for that matter!) OR Big Tech, using technologies similar to yours to manipulate and control, and otherwise do harm to targeted individuals or the people of the world in general. 

Keep those secrets close to your chest. Not sure how a scientific test could be done without revealing the 'knobs' you turn within those scripts and models. I'm content to quietly benefit from them for now. Functional medicine will be VERY interested though when you start to have the outrageously positive results that you are practically destined to have. 

Cheers!
