Randi's acceptance for "proof" would involve rigorous scientific experiment which is completely reasonable to me.
Skeptics and believers differ.
Our measurable world is effected by the observer. Consciousness. Belief opens doors. Disbelief closes them.
Quote:3.9 Questioner: I am reminded of the statement, approximately, if you had enough faith, you could say to a mountain to move and the mountain would move. I assume this is approximately what you are saying, and I am assuming that if you are fully aware of the Law of One, then you are able to do these things. Is that correct?
Ra: I am Ra. The vibratory distortion of sound, faith, is perhaps one of the stumbling blocks between those of what we may call the infinite path and those of the finite proving/understanding.
You are precisely correct in your understanding of the congruency of faith and intelligent infinity; however, one is a spiritual term, the other more acceptable perhaps to the conceptual framework distortions of those who seek with measure and pen.
While, Zenmaster, you're perhaps aligned with the latter - 'measure and pen' - there is no need to label the spiritual believers 'fanatical'. A rather negative connotation; 'extreme', 'over zealous'.
Faith/belief can move mountains.
