Yes there is, Richard. # 1: I have seen some of the visual effects associated with chakras on a couple of rare occasions. # 2: There are a very few individuals I have complete respect for and who have never failed that respect in any way whatsoever, and they know about this stuff as intimately as you know how to lace up your shoes.

Therefore, I take their opinion on the matter more seriously than yours. I AM being rational, but I am working from a different set of personal experiences than you, that's all.
