smokescum, no offence, and yes, you can think and believe what you want, but, this can, will, and does work. i have seen it work. i know people who genuinely are meant for eachother but because of some outside manipulation and psychology expertise, they are not together. no matter what situation, you can always counter-act a feeling, a memory, a thought, anything and everything. this is simple psychology, it happens all the time, in all kinds of relationships (business, love, politics, etc.)
