Under a rigorous idealism every thing that appears is refracted through some non-mental objectivity and so there is the least room for 'woo-woo'. Any direct influence of the mental on the physical would represent a breaking of the rules of appearance; the distinctive nature of the physical should mediate in an essential way any manifestation, which might as well be labelled, with some inaccuracy, causality. The background 'nothing' or 'emptiness' out of which you appear is just the same as that which lies behind every natural thing. The weirdness of the cogito belongs to everything you see, to even the most minute parts of your world, and not through you, but entirely in its own right.
