Truly....an intersting topic, leaves one to think.
Is it possible that the holistic aspects of human thought are the next step in our evolution. Could we indeed, be on the brink of using our minds to "create" reality, as suggested in quantum physics. Perhaps these people have an understanding which we lack, due to our reliance on technology, and thus have missed an important leap in evolution due to lack of metaphysical growth.
Damn....my hippie side is showing.
