I haven't read his book, only googled around. I would say that his experiment reminds me of scientific research on topics like AIDS, genes or nutrition.

In those words, plenty of experimental results, many questions still left open, lots of intriguing evidence pointing in particular directions, but so very little conclusively proven.

Even Vitamin C has its controversial areas. Did you know that? I still take Vitamin C every day.

I don't think I can afford to wait for science to conclusively prove or disprove IM (if it will ever be possible). As it is, I could mentally visualise my dream house or my mother's face or the Statue of Liberty, and no scientist could ever know, even if he used the most sophisticated equipment available. I could be doing addition and substraction in my head, and once again no scientist could ever know.

My dream house looks nothing like my mother's face which looks nothing like the Statue of Liberty which looks nothing like a maths equation - but science absolutely cannot tell the difference based on my thoughts.

That is how utterly backward science is, as far as human thinking processes are concerned. It can't even tell what we're thinking at any given moment. How do you expect it to conclusively prove anything about the effects of those thoughts?

It's like trying to prepare a good dessert, based on a chemical analysis of the molecular structure of the carbon, hydrogen and oxygen molecules comprising your ingredients (let's not forget the trace elements of sodium and potassium).

Me, I suggest using a recipe book. And let your taste buds be the guide. The proof is the pudding. Take a bite, and you'll know. You really don't need to wait for the laboratory analysis of the chemical bonds of the C12H22011 molecules in the dessert.
