fuck off back to /pol/, you retard.

>>9871610
You had the negative thoughts about reality because reality is fucked.

>>9871613
this is not political but scientific.
>>9871614
but do my thoughts influence reality?

No, thoughts are immaterial. they have causes, but cannot exert any consequences.

>>9871610
no, superstitious bullshit like that is meaningless just the same for all the "choices" you make. determinism is a thing, i can't prove it to you, but i've had it proven to myself.

>>9871610
If by event you mean in your brain, then yes.

>>9871610

That would depend on how much human thought, emotion and action can directly effect reality, wouldn't it?

>>9871610


Negative thoughts are an indication of your emotional state/energy, which possesses the potential for what kind of influence you exert on reality

>>9871610
How many people do you really think share your opinion at any given time? It's all about events amassed in congruence, not isolation.

>>9871610
Fuck off OP you dyke cunt.
>>>/x/

>>9871610
Negative thoughts are not causal to negative events, but they may contribute. Your thoughts inform your actions and your actions have consequences.

>>9871685
it's quantum retard

>>9871718
>>9871648
are you sure it doesn't manifest reality

>>9871722
>buzzwords

>>9871728


Considering I've been conjuring up fantasies in my head my whole life of all kinds, no

>>9871735
consciousness manifests reality

>>9871738
they manifest in other ways

>>9871738


But that's not to say that every thought has helped me shape myself through this whole life journey, and I am similar to what I liked to portray myself as in those fantasies.

>>9871741
>consciousness manifests reality
Reality don't care about your "consciousness"

>>9871745
reality is consciousness

>>9871728
I mean emotions are your reality but no the only effects of emotion that aren't physically forced upon others are in your head

>>9871772
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

>>9871610
people might argue this but the placebo effect is mesurable and real. so your body is influenced by your emotions and disposition.

>>9871615
>but do my thoughts influence reality?
Yes

>>9871610
Yes. If you think like a faggot you will become one. Like you, op.

Only you decide what to do

Skip to 30b for your answer - this was an idea the CIA genuinely had an interest in. I've read most of it - its very dense but interesting. A lot of pseudoscience, but quite a lot of interesting stuff in too.

>>9871610
Yes.
As above so below

>>9873117
The CIA had interest in a lot of nonsense. I blame it on them having too high a budget and not knowing what to spend it on.

>>9873132
>That hermeticism is 3edge5me. Wow so deep, you're like a modern mystic.
Fuck off NEETzsche

>>9871610
>As in causing certain events to happen?
other than more mental, brain events and bodily actions?
No. A technologically-unaided brain has no direct causal power upon anything outside your own body.

/sci/ since OP is talking about psionic powers, I would like to sidetrack this whole thread and ask if it is possible to set objects on fire with just the mind?

>>9873134
The theories and ideas they are exploring here is not in the realm of the empirical, but of a future science as extra dimensions, infinite energy etc. It's worth a read.

Regarding the "mind making" ideas, I don't think its like a power that can move objects or make things happen just by thought, but by changing the individual's conscious processes to help the individual achieve his aims. its more esoteric and mysterious than our current, worm's eye view understanding of the universe.

>>9871610
In this world, is the destiny of mankind controlled by some transcendental entity or law? Is it like the hand of God hovering above? At least it is true that man has no control; even over his own will.

>>9871610

There is strong evidence to suggest that 'padding' your reality with strong emotional stimulation such as blind optimism to over-zealousness does affect you. There is also a correlation between these emotional states and the drive behind staying alive, both from historical points of view (Roman soldiers believing in Mars glory and protection/Vikings believing in earning a place in Valhalla) and contemporary situations (Various religious tests of faith e.g strychnine or venom/Extreme survival situations).

There is definitely something to be said for mental fortitude, but even for those who don't have the discipline to train their prefrontal cortex they can instead adopt either of these strong emotional stimuli to be used in a similar but unpredictable fashion, the trick though isn't to be aware of it or count on it rationally, when it comes to this 'padding' it has to be involuntary and fervent. The main problem with this is that it doesn't come from a place of reason and to be a rational person who wants to use the practicality of these methods requires losing yourself, if possible at that point since it seems a certain level of ignorance is required to adopt this 'padding' of reality.

All thought comes from previous thought. In my understanding of conscious processes, no. We don't all have "free will" per se, we're like organic computers that have an abstract, mutual software that is infinite and compatible with the universe, but we can only learn things where the 'formulas' (let's say) have already been 'thought out', so in my opinion, its all predetermined (Determinism).

'When I see the universe, I see a clock without a clock maker' - Albert Einstein.

'We cannot see God 'a priori' - that is, see the cause in and of itself, but 'a posteriori' - that being we can see God through its effects, as an observation.' - Thomas Aquinas.

When I see teenagers on the internet who are quite happy to shit over anything even remotely religious in order to seem 'smart' they come off as more stupid. To look at the Universe (a clock without any discernible clock maker) and say that it's all for nothing or for no reason, it doesn't make sense to me.

We exist to exist. We are the Universe's self-consciousness.

>To Commander
Does a Commander really sit there and read through this entire thing

>>9875843
They redacted his name you muppet.

>>9875966
No duh
Yeah his name is gone, but I'm sure his title was still commander

>>9871613
What the fuck is wrong with you? How the fuck is this political
