They also have a slightly more relaxed community of users, which is definitely a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>It is remarkable once you notice it: When people turn their back on traditional religion, many of them will fabricate a replacement from something else. \u00c2\u00a0It may be a political movement (communism had many of the trappings of religion, for instance) but I also see the same in the brainwave entrainment community. People latch onto one of the technologies (more common with Holosync, it seems) and it becomes Holy. \u00c2\u00a0There is no way anything \u00c2\u00a0could be wrong except for outsiders, who are wrong by default. \u00c2\u00a0If you don&#8217;t feel anything and the months go by and you don&#8217;t notice any effect at all, just believe in the system. \u00c2\u00a0You know, this isn&#8217;t something we do for the afterlife, well most of us at least.<\/p>\n<p>This should not really surprise me, since I have seen similar attitudes regarding Windows vs Mac vs Linux. \u00c2\u00a0I have even compared it with the religious landscape here in Norway. \u00c2\u00a0We have a state church that everyone is a member of unless they (or their parents) do something to avoid it. \u00c2\u00a0That would be like Windows, which you get with your computer unless you go out of your way to avoid it. \u00c2\u00a0Then we have the pentecostals which come across as easily excited and harmlessly fanatical, just like the Apple Mac fans. \u00c2\u00a0And then there is Linux. Linux is like the Wiccans and Neopagans doing magic in dark places, the outsiders you avoid unless you are in serious trouble or want revenge on the System.<\/p>\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s how I see it. \u00c2\u00a0But the fact remains, there is a lot of religious-like behavior in the brain entrainment field. I already have a religion so I am not comfortable with that. \u00c2\u00a0I don&#8217;t do this for my afterlife, really, but to explore more of what is possible in this life. \u00c2\u00a0And not for the sake of earning money or attracting love, or even for my health (although that is certainly worth considering). \u00c2\u00a0I guess the shortest answer is: Because I can.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, it is a series of ten tracks over as many months (I think) at $67 each. \u00c2\u00a0So in the hopefully unlikely case that I leave the land of the living or the sane, whoever takes over should be aware that there is such an obligation runnin.
