But I agree when he says:<br /><br />"One should not buy into the contemporary version of supernatural explanation mixed in with pseudoscience claims of being able to affect molecular structure, DNA, change the past, use the power of intention to manifest physical realities etc... this is hokum and hogwash and is not in any way linked to the reality of feeling your 'prana' coursing through the nervous system in a yoga class, or seeing someone go through potent unwinding and altered states. No-one can affect molecular structure with their mind, water does not respond to the 'energy of thoughts.'"<br /><br />* http://integralpostmetaphysics.ning.com/forum/topics/mahendra-trivedi-and-ken?commentId=5301756%3AComment%3A2757Edward Bergehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13864657929019204993noreply@blogger.com
