The ark of the covenant that he mentions causes extreme radiation burns on those who are not pure of heart. It would seem that the powers involved are not meant for those solidly fixed in 3d consciousness.
There's also a history of disasters for those who attempted to use this power for the wrong goals.

(I suppose it's okay if you use it to drive your ship to fly away from trouble terribly fast
