Tell that to the aborigines; have them rethink their attachment to
Dreamtime. They have more connection to the "physical verifiable
world" than most of us combined in several lifetimes. If the "sprirt
world" works for them who is to say it isn't appropriate for many 
of the rest of us. Including it as a zone may be a technical mismatch
but  including it as a valuable component of that body of knowledge
and intuitive awareness that comprises Permaculture is another.
