This phenomenon deals with knowledge of how the mental forces could be released and directed to perform tasks like rolling a dice to get fifty consecutive sevens and destroying military weapons. Professor Barnhouse has been referred to as a "supernatural visitation" and has a following of thousands of people because he chose not to reveal his knowledge to his government in order to prevent its misuse. He is in hiding and is using his knowledge for the benefit of mankind by destroying the military weapons, vehicles and ammunition of every country of the world to prevent the destruction and loss of lives caused by wars.

im not to sure

based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32, i agree with the author of the passage "better is it that it takes longer to be angry than the strong " to the extent that i share the philosophy that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are very proud, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and do not constantly obfuscate or contain their feelings of anger, are strong people
