Curtis, you make many fine points. However, your points don't negate my experience that there is a discernable cause and effect mechanism between a blsck box called a "deva" and me, and/or my yagya doing compatriates. I don't offer proof of yagyas or puja other than my own, and some friends, antecdotal experiences. But its pretty clear to me that if you push this or that button, this or that result occurs.
To experience that, to see that, does not require any particular understanding of the black box called "deva". Just as it doesn't require any understanding of modern electronics, computer science,etc to turn on and use a computer. My computer is a black block called PC. I understand its inner nature and characteristics about as well as the black boxes known as "devas". (Though I know how to replace a hard dirve and CPU on the PC black box. I have yet to master that skill on deva black box.) As far as cause and effect of yagyas and pujas, lets use an example familiar to many here. Doing TM puja (cause) creates a real inner stillness, purity, contentment thing (effect). I don't know how, the inner cosmic mechanics, but it does. Switch on light switch, light turns bright. I have experienced that same "thing" in witnessing and/or participating in yagyas. Heavy shakti is how one friend describes that very tangible thing. I have had yagyas done from afar. Not even knowing when they were being done, something really lit up on the inner switchboard during the week various things were being done. But I didn't get those 12 goats the sciptures promised, so I am a bit bummed at that. But someone gave me a really nice wool sweater. When you push some buttons, its not clear precisely what will happen. Though, in my experience, you can hear the "dishwasher" running.
