By what powers does my mind move my hand? When I see an object and imagine that I will pick it up, and then do so—my mental self interacts with the physical world. Is it by my nervous system that signals are sent by my brain to sensory parts of my body. If so, what flows through my nerves? Electricity, chemicals, pure energy? Let’s call it energy.

So if this energy is produced in my mind and then sent to my parts of my physical body which are caused by it to move and in turn cause movements and changes in the rest of the physical world, why can this energy not flow from my mind to the outside of my physical body? Why can this energy not travel through my skull and leap between the particles of air around my head and cause effects in the physical world around me? Or is my body a necessary intermediary in the process. In any case, thank God for my body and its connection with my mind.
