	I would not dismiss such claims with as much finality as Raghu does. 
We are spending a lot of time and energy dealing with our definitions of how 
nature works (science and tecnology). Anything that does not fall within the 
realm of our pet laws of Newton and Einstein are dismissed as being the 
product of deranged minds. 
	However, I think that the occult is a world with its own rules
and axioms .. They may be unfamiliar to us (as unfamiliar as current AI research
would be to Von Neumann). That should be no reason for us to dismiss the 
claims of the occult as sheer nonsense. 
	So how much credibility do I personally give to this claim? 

None at all.					.... :-)
