again feeling the sense of awe and wonder that I have felt since I first experienced psychic events as a teenager doing magic on the stage. We haven't dealt with precognition yet, but it's clear from our experiments that our consciousness has access to information unlimited by our ordinary understanding of spatial separation. We must conclude that physicists have a lot to learn before a "Theory of Everything" is on the horizon. Indeed, as I write this, today's New York Times has a story describing recent discoveries by the Hubble space telescope, showing that the age of the universe appears to be less than the age of some of its best-known globular star clusters! Here we are faced with an obvious contradiction regarding something we thought we really understood. This is, of course, what makes science so exciting.
One of the great puzzles for medically oriented psi researchers is to separate the data for mind-to-mind connections from experiments in the mind-to-body arena. For instance, when considering the case of a person who has been treated by a healer, how can we tell whether his health has been enhanced by a mind-to-mind interaction, or a mind-to-body treatment? What do healers really do? How many different kinds of healing are there?
Mind-to-Body Investigations: Mind-to-Cells
In Unity Church, the children sing (to the tune of "Shortnin' Bread"), "Every little cell in my body is healthy, every little cell in my body is well!" In physician-free Christian Science doctrine, Mary Baker Eddy teaches in Science and Health that "destroying through the power of God, the belief that sickness could be happening, also destroys  and actually heals  the sickness in human experience." 25 She reached the conclusion "that all causation rests with the Mind, and that every effect is a mental phenomenon." Daily affirmations to promote health are aspects of many religious philosophies today. The idea that stressful thoughts can contribute to illness is not a surprising concept to an audience in the 1990s. The healthful results of relaxation and meditation are widely accepted, from the work of Herbert Benson, M.D., concerning the Relaxation Response, and from Dr. Dean Ornish's heart-healthy program, involving meditation and healing imagery.26 Sir John Eccles, Nobel laureate, maintains that one's mind routinely
