[MD] Three Hot Stoves

[John Carl]

Khaled,

I hadn't thought about that, but yes, I do think it would make a
difference.  If there is no prior experience at all, then our cells have no
expectation at all.  Although distinguishing between "me" and "my cells" is
a bit fanciful here, I do think that is the point - that mental operations
are disbursed throughout the body and it is thus that expectation influences
experience.
