I can agree with you to a certain extent, with one of my favorite books being "The Celestine Prophecy" about how we can control the energy around us for the greater good. But it's always too easy to claim something we don't truly understand, to be weird and wonderful....... when in reality, it's just smoke and mirrors.
Oh, I liked the Celestine Prophecy, too, it was lent to me, someone thought I might like it, huffed at it at first, read and loved it, actually just nodded all the way through, I could have written it I thought, I understand all this, wow, I'm not the only weird one! I don't really wonder so much any more, I just take it as fact that some things I cannot explain but they happen, that maybe my brain is cleverer than I think and that I should just let it go and do stuff to suprise me
There are people I have never as yet met, but will at some point, and there is a connection, a resonance, recognition. Scientifically? NO logical explanation, but real? Absolutely - and exciting, as it says in the CP we come together for a while for a purpose and I love the graphic description of the transfer of energy and colours. It's good to be sceptical, but not good to be so closed to overlook the magic.
