“The experiences of a reenchanted world encountered on pilgrimages offer a portal to a far more pervasive truth. These are not just aberrations. Rather, they are clues to how the world really is. The interconnections of life, down to the quantum entanglement of particles mysteriously communicating information, to the synchronicity of trees in a forest somehow sharing warnings of danger to one another, to the scrutinized miracles at Lourdes defying any other explanation point to a world where “material” and “spiritual” dimensions are always interconnected in a single, indivisible whole.”
