I completely agree

Neither do I. But Tim, when you do the Method of Levels, or Ed Fords
program. Exactly what are you doing to show that what you are doing is worth
_their_ while. Whether you like it or not, whether you care or not you are
_always_ "selling" your credibility. Why bother with a "conventional"
doctorate program? I think it's spelled "Crediibilty" :-).

If you don't care, why bother delivering the message. Why bother "telling"
anyone about it?. Unless of course what you "really" mean is that you are
willing to "sell" PCT to someone as long as they accept _your_ terms for
learning it and not theirs.

we agree here.

think we do.

Nope. :-) We need to know if someone has any interest in learning PCT and
then we need to know what they know and how we might be able to help them.
All the driving ( to learn ) needs to be done by the learner. I wouldn't
spend 3 seconds trying to convince anyone to learn or want anything I have.
Either the idea appeals to you and you want to explore it further, or you
have no interest and we all move on.


>I just want to learn PCT as well as I can. What other people do is up to
>them.

My sentiments exactly. :-) With one small addition. If asked, I would spend
the time to try and help someone understand PCT.
