Description
One general theme emerges if you spend enough time looking for the meaning of life and looking through personal development literature – your thoughts create your reality. Before you take a deep sigh of “what the hell is” and dismiss this as a bunch of mumbo jumbo, this actually can have a lot of scientific basis in reality! You're probably skeptical, and I don't blame you. After all, thinking about a thing doesn't make it happen, right? Imagining a million dollars isn't going to get you a million dollars, right? Thinking about
getting your orange peeled certainly doesn't seem to make it peel itself… It
probably seems unrealistic to anyone with an ounce of common sense!
But wait! When you turn on your radio and television, pictures and sounds
seem to come out of nowhere. Doesn't that sound pretty unrealistic too? And
yet there they are! There's certainly nothing connecting the TV or radio to
anything else. You just turn it on, and hey, there's light and sound. There
certainly seems to be “things” appearing out of nowhere! “Yeah, but it's
powered by electricity and there's liquid crystals or cathode ray tubes
projecting photons,” you say, “There's all sorts of electrons bombarding the
screen, releasing energy to create the images we see. On the other side,
somebody used some electricity (or other form of energy) to power their
transmitter, caused some electromagnetic waves and your receiver on your
TV/radio gets those signals and converts them.” In short, in goes some
energy, some waves happen, and out comes some matter really far away!
Hmm, so then, what happens when you think? Your thoughts are waves too!
Since we don't completely understand how our brain works, isn't it possible
that part of the brain is a transmitter that runs on the energy from our body,
and sends out waves of thought? After all, we don't really know how thought
works either! Maybe depending on the receiver at the other end, those waves
are somehow converted into matter, and if thought results in actual physical
matter being created, then does that not qualify as thought creating reality?
