They are using V-A-K, the three most powerful human senses, Vision-Auditory-Kinesthetic (touch).

Is Einstein Right About Miracles? First things first, I know nothing about Einstein’s E=mc2. So I researched this much. Matter and energy are different forms of the same thing. One can be turned into the other. Oh yeah, “C” stands for the speed of light, 186,000 miles per second. Why “C”? It Comes from Latin, the initial letter of Celeritas, meaning - speed. Picture a stalk (piece) of Celery with little Toes (Celeri + Tas) and see the ‘Celery-with-toes’ flying around the room at 2,000 miles per hour – and link it to ‘speed’, ‘C’, and ‘Celeritas’.
