It occurred to me that science and God might both be correct about our existence. Science has a great way to explain the laws of our universe, while religion does the same, but uses stories. Both answer questions, and both answer none. It seems so bizarre to me that some things around us can be an illusion. Is it true that some people in this world can harness energy and heal other human beings (this is what I am thinking prayer is)? What about psychics like Edgar Cayce? Did he really harness the world energy to have visions of the future? Is this supernatural "energy" the 4th dimension that scientists cannot put their finger on? What do you guys think?

[this is good]

I just read up about Edgar Cayce. He kinds of reminds me of Buddhism a bit. I think people who meditate regularly notice something that we don't usually notice in everyday life. I think it's hard for scientists to quantify it, because we don't really have the tools for it. So far we can experience these things, but can't really explain them (yet anyway).

Yes, I watched a History Channel special about him and think the concept is very interesting. What is especially interesting is that when he would meditate/have visions, they say he would focus on his solar plexus, where his hands would lay at...to me, this is interesting because this was 100 years ago when not many people in western culture knew what the "solar plexus" was.

I just looked up about the "solar plexus". It says it's "a large plexus of sympathetic nerves in the abdomen". My zen teacher has a theory that when we meditate our sympathetic nerves and our parasympathetic nerves balance out, and we become "balanced". I wonder if it's related.

Good luck!
