Dear Chrissy, I hate to say this, but you must be quite wrong about this. Forgive me, I'm in shock. I cannot believe this is the same Hal Lindsey, Grace is talking about! My Grace wouldn't touch anything to do with New Agers or mind science cults with a ten foot pole. This sounds just too, too pagan, to be believable. But out of her own mouth it came...
Mind science cults! Psycho-cybernetics!!! Geez, really now...Lying about loving yourself to yourself, this is too weird. hehehehe
Lindsey is also a believer in the "science" of psycho-cybernetics , which trains the individual to repeat certain affirmations regularly--e.g., "I love myself unconditionally" (The Liberation of Planet Earth , p. 233-236). Psycho-cybernetics teaches that it is not even important that the person believe what he or she is repeating, only that it be repeated. The inner mind is supposedly trained and will eventually respond by modifying behavior to conform to the affirmation. This principle has been "known" and taught for centuries by the mind-science cults, and is a frequently advertised technique in today's New Age publications.
Grace does write, she said so herself way back when she first arrived, and her demeanor is quite "masculine" for a female. I hope I'm not stereotyping anyone here. hehehe I love a mystery, always knew Grace was a very mysterious creature.
