- Penni, if you give me your snail mail address, I will be pleased to send
- you my information packet which includes a do-it-yourself demonstration
- of the phenomenon of control. The demo includes a narrative adapted from
- Bill's work and several illustrations. You perform the demo with another
- person (preferred) or by just reading and visualizing.
-
- By getting some personal, physical experience with control and what it
- looks like in action, you may gain a fresh perspective on the discussions
- here.
