So you think you can reliably avoid to think of a pink elephant?
I can. I don’t have total control over the direction of my thoughts, but if someone tells me “don’t think about pink elephants,” I can avoid thinking about pink elephants even for an instant.
I didn’t suggest that nobody can. If you can than you are good at going into a state where you are non-suggestible. PhilipL suggested that he can go into a non-suggestible state, so I asked that question to verify.
