Manifestation and our thoughts

   I have been very against the idea that we have any control of the outside world by our thoughts (manifestation, like in the secret)
   
   unfortunately I have begun to think recently, this past year, that it may have some truth to it. I think we are more connected to the "outside" world than people normally think. strange coincidences have been occurring for me lately, more than just the usual synchronicities I always get. Like wishing for very specific weather and getting it. it frightens me a bit(or sometimes more than just a bit) to think I might have that kind of power, especially without knowing how to control it. and the responsibility that ultimately entails. its a strange world,and seems to get stranger all the time.

      About 99%of the world is unknown to us. It's wise to be alway open to possiblies.  For the universe is all connected. Truth is funnier and stranger than fiction.

         I am sometimes open, sometimes not at all. Then something smacks me in the face and I have to look at it.
         
         I can be very very slow to "get" things.

      I've studied metaphysics since 1976. We all have powers of the mind, and it is good if we can study them under a mentor who teaches responsibility along with development. I have done that. I won't go into that here, but I do not look at the world by demanding scientific facts like many people do. In my studies, we were taught that science and religion would meld into one during the Aquarian Age, and we are seeing that come about now. For example, what scientists are now calling the "God gene". Also look at the use of people with psychic powers by both the Russians and the U.S., especially during WWII. Don't doubt yourself, your thoughts are powerful.

         I don't understand the word God, it just a another word to me with millions of wrong translation with some good bits of metaphors. Can not imagine a God gene, yet what ever works for people. It could be magic and science can co exist as tool to enhance a person life. I personally feel the arts and culture has been the greatest influence for human kind from the beginning of human history. Also I do sense an aquariain age of the most extreme situations in most everyone lifetime.
         Hang on to your backside.

            Kinda same here. The "God gene" is a hypothesis that some people are hardwired to be religious. A gene or something placed there by our creators. I don't really buy the OT story of creation, so I think  creators of humans could be space aliens or any spirits of advanced intelligence over us.
            "Dr. Dean Hamer, the director of the Gene Structure and Regulation Unit at the U.S. National Cancer Institute. Hamer has written a book on the subject titled, The God Gene: How Faith is Hardwired into our Genes."
            I haven't read the book, so maybe someone who knows more about it than I do can elaborate on it and enlighten us both.
            
            I'm not really into genetics or science, so I hope there is someone out there who can explain it to us a little better.

               As I understand it, this is close but not quite on the mark.  The "God gene" predisposes some people to accept with faith where others require proof.  Perhaps they simply believe whatever seems right, perhaps they are too lazy to actually check, perhaps they do not have the ability to reason logically while maintaining the necessary objectivity.  However it actually works, it is simply a willingness to believe without proof.
               
               It is not a predilection towards religion.  Most, if not all, societies have used religion to explain what they did not understand - it has always taken extra effort by a few individuals to pound facts into the masses and overcome the beliefs of religion, and they often suffered for it.  Galileo, for instance, was sentenced to house arrest for much of his life because he said the earth was not the center of everything with the sun, planets and stars rotating around the earth.

                  My point was that some geneticists think they found a gene that facilitates this. Apparently this gene was found mostly in religious people and not so much in nonreligious people. I wish I could find that story to prove that I'm not making this up.

               The love gene is the only all creature connected gene that I can imagine.
               The rest can fight over what God did it.

         We are definitely entering the Aquarian Age. Lots of strangeness is happening.

   I like the idea of manifesting.
   But if you have one wrong thought...you don't get what you wish to manifest.

   You have selected a tough subject for discussion. It is difficult to understand these things as scientifically very less is known about them. The factor of coincidences and chances also play an important part which sometimes misleads us in thinking that we did it or some hidden power did it.
