- Research which backs my claim on the validity of magick is published
- in the following books:
-
- Tao of Physics author forgotten, sorry
- Margins of Reality Robet Jahn and Brenda Dunne
- The Electromagnetic Man Robert Becker
- Stalking The Wild Pendulum Itzhak Bentor
- The Holographic Universe author forgotten, my fault
-
- All of these texts are written by research or theory scientists.
-
- All magickal phenomena have a scientific basis. Many are still quite
- impressive. The best scientist is a curious one; if you are curious enough
- to consider for yourself wheither the evidence presented in the above
- texts is valid, then by all means do so.
-
- I should point out that stiffling an idea because it does not fit your
- worldveiw is not only ignorant, but a very poor means of investigation.
- Had Kepler ignored his data because of his fascination with a spherical
- universe, then Newton would not have had the basis he required for his
- theory of gravity.
-
- I stand by all my previous statements.
