Is this in any way associated with LLG or anything > official? .skamyxatra This is what is known as a "scam." If you click the "Brainwave Mind Voyages" link, you'll see that the sellers appear to have grabbed a bunch of random subjects and slapped them onto FSM only knows what, combined with utter abuse of New Age-sounding scientific vocabulary to rope in their key demographic: idiots. Buying this just to see what it is (and I will bet you 10,000 to 1 that it doesn't work) will not be worth your while. Also, some advice for the next couple of decades: If it has the word "quantum" in it and it is not a physics textbook or course from a respectable university, keep it away from your money. mu'omi'e .kamymecraijun. -- do ta'e pilno le va valsi .i mi na jinvi lodu'u ri valsi da poi do jinvi lodu'u ri valsi ke'a
