As everything is composite of elementary particles (the most fundamental building blocks of matter) which follow physics laws, nothing in Nature should violate physics laws. That means, the influence of spirit on matter should not violate physics laws either.
It is however mysterious that, while no physics laws (which involve no intention) seem to be violated on microscopic scale, how can intention be implemented on macroscopic scale? For example, it appears that new laws are implemented at larger scales, such as DNA laws in biology, supply and demand law in economics, etc. But no physics law is violated. On the other hand, it also appears hard to understand why few chemical laws, biological laws and higher level laws are “derivable” from basic physics laws. It is only an excuse to claim they are too complicated to derive, because at the higher complicated level, such as biology and economy level, certain intention emerges, whereas at the bottom physics level, no intention exists. How can intentional laws be derived from non-intention laws? Where does the intention get in? If they are not derivable from physics laws, how can they be both implemented without conflicting each other? These are the central subjects of mind-body interactions.
We are coming to the core – how mind manipulates body. To answer this, we need to clarify what is the reality of a body on which mind is acting. We’ll talk about it next.
