I answered this in my book: "If you open-mindedly research the subject and investigate the matter yourself, making allowance for and discounting both charlatanry and chicanery, you will find a great deal of cogent evidence. The fields of hypnosis, parapsychology and healing, for example, each contain
many trustworthy accounts of demonstrations by adept individuals, as well as numerous reports of results obtained in carefully controlled experiments, which unequivocally indicate that attitude and intention, in combination, are phenomenally determining.
Even so,
because there is no causal explanation for psychospiritual dynamics, you may still find the notion of their efficacy difficult to believe and trust in. But such reservation can be overcome, once you grasp the fact that all
causal explanations are
relative—relative to some antecedent set of circumstances or phenomena.
First causes, by their very nature, brook
no explanation. Therefore, while all happenings can be explained in terms of
psychospiritual dynamics,
psychospiritual dynamics themselves, being
primary,
cannot be explained as a function of anything
else. The most we can do is to note the effects of their miraculous ‘
Isness’. Their 'mechanism' is “past finding out.” (
Romans 11:33) They
just are what they are!
