Thanks! I studied NLP many years ago and found it interesting in places but ultimately it felt too dishonest to me. Real connection is a REAL bond between us and that can be felt and occurs in the heart. Unfortunately, the majority of humans have almost no understanding of what I am talking about here and they are stuck only operating from the small amount of conscious mind that they have managed to keep after have heavily denied themselves by trying to get rid of emotions they don't like.
I actually learned of NLP after googling my own name's initials ;)
