What makes this case unique was Keeney’s uncanny intuition about how to handle the Indian Shaman. The treatment used would not be found in any textbook. In fact, the treatment came to him in a vision! There is no science to this at all. The Shaman followed Keeney’s instructions to the letter and it produced great results.

This case just goes to show that the mind and spirit have far greater potential and depth than we like to
