Your questions about "my point" were most helpfull and took the discussion forwards.

>>>I don't even try to reconcile my "western" mind to my belief system. I'm fairly internally consistent when it comes to my spirituality and morality meshing. Where I would get dissonance between my "magical" (following the terms of your argument) abilities and my rational, orderly science-oriented mind, I simply let the western side claim it's superiority as it will. I think folks who can't admit that they are, by nature, internally incosistent are the ones who try to disprove it most.<<<

Sorry, I'm one of those people! :D

I seriously try to reconcile my spirituality with western science. Admittedly, having Buddhist/Gnostic/Shamanistic/etc spiritualistic inclinations and being somewhat ecclectic about western science (Bohm, Sheldrake, Mind & Quantum project, which admittedly are strong hypothesis with limited empirical support so far) does help a lot. :)
