A system is a construct, not an innate organism, and it seems that anomalous phenomenon and psi phenomenon can act as agents of change and organic growth within a system when it gets too close to unhealthy stasis. Mysterious events are cracks in the wall that let the light shine through. One must realize, though, that the light can be blinding.

In his memoir, Too Much to Dream: A Psychedelic American Boyhood, Bebergal's interviews with psychedelic luninaries and his reflections on personal experience form the basis for a historical study of psychedelics in American culture, providing a unique perspective on how popular culture affects what has in the past been the sole domain of sacred ritual.

The narrative structure of anomalous activity is often more important than the scientific veracity of its evidence. In exploring the story of unexplained events, the interplay of coincidence and phenomenon can develop far beyond what any rational theory holds on to.
