Ayad Ibn Kasim should shut her toward the skull

Trimming off the rest of this post is unnecessary.
I will guarantee anonymity except in cases of blatant abuse.
I will achieve anonymity by tallying the results in
uncorrelated tabulations and then deleting the emails.
(I know this loses interesting correlation data, but if
resondents want anonymity it's hard to avoid.)
I know that this anonymity promise depends on trust and that
you have no particular reason to trust me. Someday, I hope.
I will post results Saturday.

of Man is conscious. Only one-tenth of man's
potential is subject to his volitional commands. If a man
can be one and one-half tenths conscious, then that man is
a genius, but geniuses upon Earth are geniuses in one direc-
tion only. Often they are very deficient in other lines.
"The Egyptians in the days of the Pharaohs well knew
the power of the sub-conscious. They buried their Pharaohs
in deep tombs, and with their arts, with their knowledge of
humanity, they made spells. They made Thought Forms
which guarded the tombs of the dead Pharaohs and pre-
vented intruders from entering, under penalty of dire
disease.
"But you can make Thought Forms which will do good,
but make sure they are for good because a Thought Form
cannot tell good from evil. It will do either but the evil
Thought Form in the end will wreak vengeance on its
creator.
"The story of Aladdin is actually the story of a Thought
Form which was conjured up. It is based upon one of the
old Chinese legends, legends which are literally true.

tion, unfortunately, is badly named. If one uses the word
'imagination' one automatically thinks of a frustrated person
given to neurotic tendencies, and yet nothing could be
further from the truth. All great artists, all great painters,
great writers too, have to have a brilliant, controlled imagin-
ation, otherwise they could not visualize the finished thing
that they are attempting to create.
"If we in everyday life would harness imagination, then
we could achieve what we now regard as miracles. We may,
for example, have a loved one who is suffering from some
illness, some illness for which as yet medical science has
no cure. That person can be
