Something that we experienced, or something that we learned that opened us up to this possibility, prior to having hear about this old old man.

For me, personally? You start to believe in this mind over matter business when your stomach ulcer that's been causing you pain for six months day in and day out, disappears all together in less than one hour, just because you sat down and meditated.

After my experience and reading biology of belief, I don't have any reason not to believe. But I do have a hard time accepting it as reality. If I did, well then I'd be a breatherian right now too.
