Tapping as in acupuncture, ayahuasca or like Jesus? The Bible did say, “lay hands on the sick and they will be healed.” I also like Langer’s CounterClockwise experiment. One can never underestimate the power of the mind. Wavefunction collapse might even explain meditative states but I do wonder whether supernatural experiences and “woo” manifestations are just dissociative states of mind. Energy appears across traditions, you have chi in taoism, chakras in yogis and tantric practices, the holy spirit in christianity. But it is interesting how all converges and religions become a subset of spirituality. Modern science, ancient faiths, and personal experience are starting to speak the same language. As for the past and future, to me understanding the past helps release it, but it doesn’t have to define you. I lean more toward Adler’s future-focused view than Freud’s past fixation. That inner stillness Zen Wisdom, Jung, Watts, and Hawkins all speak off, feels like the anchor we all need in a fast-moving world.

I was talking about EFT / tapping but I am not an expert. In my quest for healthy living I saw many 'quackery' but I like quackeries more than chemical drugs :) I think most alternative medicine should be considered the real medicine. I have a domain about alt medicine in my leaderboard. If an LLM does not believe in it, it is going to get less scores! Yes mind I think is choosing between good or bad collapses of the wave. Mind can make you or break you. We all live in our minds (Each of us have another version of reality in our head about what is going on outside). I like Adler's view but if we can only dream about future based on our past experiences, i.e. we seen the examples and our dream potential is just like past objects or feelings then maybe we cannot go beyond the past even when we are dreaming the future. Can you imagine something that resembles nothing from the past? What would a prayer like "Can you give me things that I can't imagine?" look like if it was accepted?
