Negation results in its opposite:

As soon as you hear “Don’t think of pink elephants” pink elephants appear immediately in your imagination. The ears are the “touchpad”. Once a term is touching them, the programme runs unstoppably.

The same happens when telling a young child “Don’t open the cupboard door! Don’t take out the saucepans!” The programme runs: open – cupboard door – take out – saucepan!

A process which can only be stopped by fear after being punished for the execution of this programme. Whereas triggering the right programme would be so simple: put the saucepans in; shut the cupboard door.
