Spirituality and Healing: Results of a Ten-Year Study of Spiritual Healers

This research demonstrates through the narratives of healers from the widest possible assortments of cultures and religions, that our 21st century scientific world view is deficient. People and cultures whose ancestors come from the far corners of the earth testify to a world view that includes spiritual phenomena in our everyday existence. Spiritual healing is one feature of this world view. The reality of these phenomena is attested to by healing shrines such as Lourdes, and indeed throughout the entire history of mankind. It also demonstrates that paranormal phenomena are real. While the conclusions of this research are not backed by scientific inquiry, the common testimony from diverse cultures over millennia has its own weight of argument. They cannot be dismissed out of hand.
