When asking a friend of mine to give their understanding of "mind over matter" vs "matter over mind", I was met with silence on the subject. No one wanted to sit and participate in a discussion such as this and I've respected their boundaries.
It would seem to me that no one wanted to give me their thoughts on prayer that wasn't preconceived from their perspective per their religious beliefs. Almost like, if they said anything that wasn't aligned with what their respective churches already had, they felt that they were almost heretic.
When explaining the course to the best of my ability, however, it was met with positive reaction and almost borderline favoritism. Not sure how I really felt about most of their answers or how much they were in agreement with how this course explains how 'giving reinforces what was given', but, I'm still searching for my own answers.
