I do agree on those points, but just like people have used specific binaural beats presets without knowing what they do and had success I believe you could take calea and have it affect you in the manner it is claimed to even without knowing what it does. I believe that intent and knowing with certainty are a huge catalyst for manifestation of things but I still believe that the herb does have qualities that can induce a specific type of dreams. I don't know much about how it interacts with the human body, so I cannot say how it does this.
