In my books I consider in detail the concept, and I believe the reality, of what is called dualist interactionism, a concept that materialism and naturalism do not accept. What is it? Simply put, it is the interaction between what is immaterial and what is material, or physical. That which is immaterial can exert causal effects on that which is physical, and the dualist relationship I address through over 20 years of apologetics research is that between the Mind of God and the mind of Man, the human spirit and soul, through God’s created neural synaptic networks and their linguistic neural codes. Let us read selected comments by C. S. Lewis from Miracles that address this interactionism. My blog posts collectively address this concept, expanding on the points made in my books.
In the Walking on the Water we see the relations of spirit and Nature so altered that Nature can be made to do whatever spirit pleases. This new obedience of Nature is, of course, not to be separated even in thought from spirit’s own obedience to the Father of Spirits. . . . One thing at least we must observe. If we are in fact spirits, not Nature’s offspring, then there must be some point (probably the brain) at which created spirit even now can produce effects on matter not by manipulation or technics but simply by the wish to do so.
