Actually, I also side more with the advocate of 'New Age' stuff. Most of it,
I'll agree is probably off-the-wall. But, some is very important and ignored
in this day and age. Specifically...
Emotions and mental states are CRUCIAL to physical health...
Properly done therapudic touching can help heal sicknesses by making the
subject feel cared for...
Intuition is a very powerful mental ability (look at it this way---have you
ever heard of AI---Artifical Intuition?). Why? Because it brings together
life experience (e.g. Wisdom), and lets you look at problems in totally new
ways. Einstein probably wasn't just intelligent---he was also very intuitive..
It is possible to perceive someone else's emotional state by non-verbal
means...
As for all the ESP info---consider this. There are many urban legends which
involve ESP as 'saving the day' Now, in order for ESP not to exist, EVERY ONE
of those stories must have either an alternate explaination or be totally false
. But, if even one has no such explaination, and is somewhat true, then ESP
exists in some form.
Just remember---Relativity wasn't believed to exist either, until someone
thought of how to prove its existence.
