I wondered about this a long time when I was younger. Could it be possible? My religious brother found it amusing and frightening when I told him one time how I got over it by trying to think an airplane crash while we were in flight. He is in the camp of believing what you think can in fact make physical manifestations, after all he moved to Israel believing there is a God and that God wants Jews to live in Israel in order to return in person &#8211; singing My Way I guess. Can you imagine the royalties Paul Anka would get? I do appreciate the fact that since the plane remained air bound it doesn&#8217;t make my telepathic impotence conclusive. There may have been other people on the plane simultaneously thinking the plane must remain in the air, nonetheless I doubt it and my thoughts to ruin our lives succeeded, because it failed. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"7bqp8\" data-offset-key=\"47vr5-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"47vr5-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"47vr5-0-0\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"7bqp8\" data-offset-key=\"evji-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"evji-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"evji-0-0\">Thoughts effect us, but not outside us. Like maybe your cancer goes away or your difficult relationship changes but thinking someone else ill health goes away, no sir. Even if the Blue Rodeo guy does win the lottery (and I would love it if he does), it would just be a chance happening and not the result of the power of his fantasies. The more you are thinking of something musically the closer you get to it happening. Sometimes really big things, things that strike you as impossible before you apply effort into it. Thinking it over and over gets you there.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some people believe what you think might manifest itself into physical reality, like the old friend of Blue Rodeo I met on the street recently, who is homeless, and while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobwiseman.ca\/?p=4637\" class=\"more-link\">[&hellip;]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"Layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["entry","author-rockbob","post-4637","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-warfare"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bobwiseman.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4637","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bobwiseman.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bobwiseman.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bobwiseman.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bobwiseman.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4637"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bobwiseman.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4637\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bobwiseman.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4637"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bobwiseman.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4637"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bobwiseman.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4637"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
