Do you believe in the power of your thoughts?

Question

have you ever thought something, and then it happened? or thought about someone you havent seen in a long time and then saw them? what interesting things have happened to you with your thoughts? do you think inner and outer reality are somehow interconnected?

Answer 1

I read my husband's thoughts all the time...it completely freaks him out. It's not just little things like he's feeling a bit under the weather because i could figure that out by just looking at him. Instead i get things that he normally wouldn't tell me ...

For instance we were at Burger King getting a quick bite to eat. He was carrying a tray of drinks to the table for the kids while i was waiting for the rest of the order. He was a good 10ft away and i heard him (in my head) say how he hated some guy's jacket. I wasn't looking at him so i didn't have eye contact at the time plus I never actually saw the man with the "stupid" jacket as he must have left while i was waiting for the order. When i returned to the table my husband was in a cranky mood so i said, "stop thinking about the stupid jacket; it's only a jacket". My husband was completely shocked and from that point forward has been looking for a "Magneto helmet" to stop me from reading his mind.

Answer 2

I believe there is but I think all of us have the the ability. It's more that we disbelieve we even have it or are just not paying attention to it and calling it coincidence or chance.

For me I have always thought of a song some I haven't heard in quite some time and lo and behold I will hear the song from a radio.

But I was in another country where I was standing under a coconut tree and joked what if the coconut fell on my head as I was standing there. I moved and well and yes a coconut fell right where I had been standing about a minute earlier.

I believe the inner and outer reality have to be interconnected because well "I think therefore I am". And normally who you are pretty much interacts with a whole bunch other people in this world. That's why to me who you are and what you think is so very profoundly important.

It underscores the importance of the golden rule about doing unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Answer 3

Well first of all I must say that we use only 2% of our brain power. Some people are able to use up to 10 - those are extrasenses. I'm neither supersticious nor believe in much stuff about magic etc. But there are things which is impossible not to accept. If you set your mind on smth you'll get it. The same is with the dreams. Dreams can be of different kinds - some things based on our emotions and things that had already happened, and some things that are to happen. While dreaming our brain works in subconscious regime that's why we may not remember the dreams. Making things come true also depends on the energetics and will-power of current person. Besides don't forget that maybe there are people who want just the opposite. So there will be 2 opposite influences on the same thing - the stronger one will be how it happens.

One more interesting thing. Throughout history people always had gods to which the just *believed*. Right or wrong logical or not but they believed and many times got what they wanted.

Answer 4

I don't think it's so much the "power of thoughts" as it is that some people are truly precognitive. Your first answer was obviously not taking you seriously, but I will. I have "sensed" things, unfortunately not often specific enough to prevent them from happening, (say, if they could be fatal), but sometimes yes. I'm sure the devil's advocate will say, if it's destined to be it will be. Not true. Call it whatever one likes. Some things are beyond coincidence, & while impossible to explain, this doesn't mean they aren't valid. As for reality--our little unevolved brains mostly seem incapable of comprehending all the dimensions. MOSTLY. Physicists are the most open minded; nothing is absolute. That which is not commonly acceptable in a culture excludes words to describe it. So, recently, I'm calling "it" my intution, & paying 100% heed to it. I believe that EVERYTHING is interconnected, & I like your question very much. I won't digress on my experiences that would make even a Doubting Thomas stop & take a think.

Answer 5

Your outer world is a representation of your inner thoughts. What and how we think does affect our life and our outlook on life. You can make a happy excited person depressed--but only if they themselves allow outer forces to influence their life.

Back in the 60's there was the imfamous "all children with blues eyes are better students" experiment. As you know, the good students in the class ended up getting poor grades because they believed that they are not supposed to be good students.

As many great authors have mentioned, "what ever the mind of man can concieve and believe, it can acheive". And also, your mind can hold 1 thought at a time. Make it a positive one.

Answer 6

I do believe in the power of my own thoughts. I'm not sure which way the connection works sometimes though. For example, I'll often have a craving for a food that I don't have at that moment, like a cookie or a hotdog or spaghetti, and in the next day or so, someone will bring some to work and offer me one, or my family invites me to dinner and that's what they're having. I don't know if I my desire drew it to me, or if it was already going to happen and I sensed it and began to desire it.

It has also happened in a more profound sense when I am wondering something, or I even ask something in my mind or in a journal entry and the next day, an answer arises through my life situations...

I believe thoughts give off energy -- negative thoughts tend to give people a negative 'vibe', positive thoughts a more positive 'vibe'...

Answer 7

well...in some religions, u can use the power of thoughts in order to make something real... also, there is the spoke version of these... and it`s also used in many religions that say that the word has a power within ... a better example for that is magic... incantations. Some people ( me too) believe that once u say something u kinda call that thing upon u. This also has to do with autosuggestion... and well u know - perhaps - that we are only using like 7% of our brain capacity...and the genies use like 11%....as far as we know...can you imagine what would be lik if we will be able to use the full power of it? And maybe some of us manage to use the brain in a higher % than known by the scientist...one can never know

Answer 8

Yes, I believe in it. I believe in the power of positive thinking and the law of attraction, and I believe in precognitive thoughts as well. A few months ago I had a dream about my former fiance (like from 15 years earlier; we'd both moved on!), and wondered what was up with him, and did a web search, but he has a really common name (like, "John Jones" common) and I couldn't find him. Then two hours later, he e-mailed me for the first time in several years, just to see what was up and to let me know how his life was going. It was pretty cool--although I suspect that was *his* psychic abilities, and not mine.

Answer 9

I don't care what anyone say there are things going on in this life that we will never understand because it wasn't meant to even if you believe in god cause even in that there are things that your suppose to have faith in because no kidding i was like most and didn't believe things i couldn't see, feel and touch but i vie been through all that every since i was little i would dream about someone dieing and i would find out they died or get these strong feeling to hurry up and call someone before they die and it would be to late .Ive even seen ghosts or spirits whatever you want to call it. and this is for real no joke

Answer 10

yes, many times I have experienced this.

My sister, cousin and I used to send 'head fax' to our Cousin to phone us and she would 2 times out of 3 (we are in northern Canada and she was in Colorado).

I have had 'a feeling of danger' while on the highway in the dark of a winter night, slowed down, and missed two moose crossing the road, in both lanes. A fatal accident averted by listening to my 'gut'.

I have thought of my daughters and they phone me or send me email w/i minutes to hours. If I am worried about them, they seem to phone faster.

I have seen my brother on life support, his chest moving up and down, yet feel/know without a doubt, that his spirit has already left him.

I have dreamt of people and they have died within a month. It's like I am getting a 'heads up'.

I have not thought of it as inner or outer reality, however, I do believe that there is more then one dimension to our existence.
