Is there a file about luck?

There's no file that addresses it, but if you believe that you can control your own luck, then maybe the Lucid Dreaming file would be something you could use for that purpose. If you believe that Luck is something your subconscious can direct, then maybe in a Lucid Dream you're in sort of a self-hypnosis state where you're experiencing your imagination very vividly (whatever Lucid Dreams are, I would think they'd affect you the way hypnosis would).

I'm not sure how a file specifically affecting Luck would be worded. You can suggest that someone be more confident, but how do you suggest that something better will happen to that person without their active participation in it?

Luck is not a tangible trait, and if it could be trained for improvement then casinoes would not be the profitable business they are.

There are two sides to luck, of course, as with many things in the world. There is the side of luck that we cannot control because it lies in the vast ocean of probabilities that surrounds us on a daily basis.

However the other side of luck is the PERSONAL luck being asked about here. It is a combination of various factors -- how well you can act, how confident you are in yourself, your choices, and those around you, how well you can read situations and people in order to turn them to your advantage, or at the least away from your detriment. Thils the former cannot be changed through any amount of hypnosis, the latter is largely a result of placebo effects.

I imagine that a script to improve one's personal luck would rely on someone skilled at being entranced and receptive to the suggestions, and would help them develop the confidence and skills that form the personal half or our luck. If you believe you are lucky, you will be luckier than the person who believes themself to be unlucky.

You're sure he's not just trying to win at craps?

Maybe I'am :twisted: , Maybe I'm not....
Nah... just thought about IF there is a file and it is something u can improve in, because life has been going a down a very steep downhill...

[CuriousG]

Well, a more constructive way to deal with that is to figure out what's wrong with your life and fix it.

[Jacara]

Yeah, if life sucks lately, you don't need a file for luck as much as you need to figure out what you can do to make it better, and learn to accept the stuff you can't do anything about. Being lucky in everything would sorta cripple us in that we'd never develop the skills to cope with life at its crappiest.
