Personally, I lean heavily towards the view that the mind is a very powerful thing and find that even a non-believer can successfully use the practices of religion and magic, as long as one believes in the practices themselves. But if one has implicit trust in oneĀ“s mind, the only explanation for the experience of the super-natural must be that whatever it is is absolutely real. <br /><br />This looks like a great film. I am always amazed at how those olden film-directors made use of light. I suppose they still do, it is just not as obvious.
