"To tamper with psychic forces while in this world interferes with the condition of the soul in the world to come. These forces are real, but, normally, are not active on this plane. The child in the womb has its eyes, ears, hands, feet, etc., but they are not in activity. The Whole purpose of life in the material world is the coming forth into the world of reality, where those forces will become active. They belong to that world." ('Abdul-Baha) (193:5)
