what about those who do do believe at all in your "stated" have to's,
those who just reach out with their power and DO THINGS DIRECTLY ???

Yep, sure have. The first time my teacher took me through the middle pillar, 
we did it lieing down ,repeating each godname 21 times. As I was a neophyte, 
and my sole exposure to magical energys was the small amount raised in the 
LBRP, I was fried completely out of my brain.
In addition, I am usualy totaly insencetive to magical energys, but every so 
often I have periods where I become ultra-sencetive, my intuition go's wild, 
and I start having wierd visions and/or halucinations. During these periods, a
middle pillar with the standard 3 repetitions is enough to leave me barely 
able to stand.
