I beg to differ...
Things like effecting random number generators and cloudbursting are so easy that anyone can do it and see the results. They're well above the
subatomic scale. Not to mention many other instances in my life where I've noticed change by bringing my expectations inline with my desires. You
just can't easily change what's already a rigid part of reality.
What it comes down to is how believable it is. Which is why uncertainty can be so cool. Based on the concepts presented by String theory, we might
be able to tune ourselves to a frequency or universe where aliens and ghosts exist... but after a certain point when either possibility becomes
believable and an accepted part of reality, we can't go back. The path keeps branching out.
Take 50/50 odds and things are effected easily. If however you've already made up your mind that 5s bring bad luck and 7s bring good luck, then
you'll have trouble changing the results of future outcomes. The documentary "The Secret" calls this "residual". You expect something and you
continue to get what you expect. Another way of putting it is that we can become emotionally addicted to things such as disappointment or money, and
so we attract it more. Our emotions effectively acting as radio antennas to the frequencies of the multiverse.
I first got interested in this subject after watching an interview with Michio Kaku.
ATS
topic with link to interview He talks about many interesting things, but gets into String theory near the end of the interview.
Then after watching documentaries such as "What the bleep do we know" and "The Secret", it gave even more food for thought on the possibilities
that can open up with this kind of thinking. Also, I've applied my years of research (especially regarding "thought forms") to this, and it
fits.
It's not so much thought manifesting reality, but rather tuning to a reality where your expectation exists.
What's more is that the multiverse theory puts the concept of time travel closer to reality. You go back in time and kill your grandfather but
you'd still exist... just not the you in that universe. Unlike in Back to the Future where the people in the photographs disappear as the past is
changed.
