| Quote: |
| Brain researchers have caught epileptic seizures on their scans, another instance where patients report unearthly feelings and losing identity. But such examples do not account for the sacred response, as I will call it. Altered brain waves and subjective reports do not capture the mind�s ability to comprehend wholeness. Objectively this state goes beyond miracles in that the person does nothing to affect reality except look at it, yet in that looking the laws of nature shift more profoundly than in miracles. |
1. What does 'as' mean in the quote? What word can 'as' be replaced with?
2. What does 'yet' mean in the quote?
3. I think 'shift' is wrong grammatically. Instead, 'shifts' looks right.
Is my opinion right?
Thanks. |

1. I don't know how to explain "as". The author is referring to the label: sacred response.
2. Yet = however / but
3. It is correct. "The laws of nature shift..." The laws shift. "Laws" is plural. If it was "law", we would say "shifts". The law shifts. |
