You said: “IF you draw a card… [then] he can tell you the name of your card”. Sounds causal to me! Otherwise he could tell me the name of my card whether I draw it or not!
Also, you commune with the universe TO realize that your partner loves you. If you don’t believe the results of your divination are caused by your partner’s love why are you doing it?
In short, you may believe you believe that these are ‘non-causal processes’, but on the level that determines your behavior, you believe they are causal processes. I suspect this is because either labeling these things non-scientific is important to you for some reason (love of mystery, or perhaps it’s what your peer group says to believe) or you don’t understand what the words ‘non-causal process’ mean and it’s just a password.
Okay, hypothetical mystic dude.
