Did I misread the article Wade posted? What does the psychosphere have to
do with psycho/telekinesis?

What is gained by placing physical actions (such as typing) and
psycho/telekinesis (uh, does that really happen...) in the same pot and
calling it 'magick'?

And on a totally philosophical tack, to what extent is there a true
distinction between mind and body? Why do accept this dualism
unquestioningly?

Just wondering.
