Why then ascribe quantitive value to the unknown? This is what grates my cheddar. If something makes you sick and you can't figure out what it is, doctors can't help, xray machines can't see, etc. why then deem it supernatural? I think recognizing something as currently unknown is preferable to assigning it fantastic origins.

I know you're replying to LH, but there are sometimes good reasons to understand how some things effect us even if we can't understand completely why.

For instance, I know that I should never, never stand near a 36" Genesa crystal. And I should make every effort to not be within a two mile radius around a 36" Genesa crystal if I can possibly avoid it. If I can't avoid it, I need to have someone or something nearby that can relieve me of excess energy if I start to feel overloaded. These are practical considerations relating to matters that many don't even recognize as existing. But they're very real to me. If I understand how spiritual energy effects me, I can find ways to work with it so that it helps me rather than causing me discomfort.
