Thoughts create matter?

Well, you certainly won’t get rich soon. You will have to split the penny with GE Eddie. That is if Trevor does pay up.

Splitting pennies? Nah, I’ll leave that up to the Federal Reserve and the Department of Treasury, they seem to be pros at that

ps. Notice it’s a penny for your thoughts but you have to but your two cents in, I’m making that penny (love Steven Wright)

I don’t know. I know I can twiddle my fingers over this keyboard and that is a macro version of mind over matter, if you like. In humans free thought and their physical bodies are parts of a harmonious whole being. The idea that I put my thoughts to war against my neurons to achieve mind over matter is funny. Mind and matter [and soul] for humans together create a single balanced being, don’t they?.

I don’t think that’s mind over matter in the typical sense of moving an object that is disconnected from yourself. It’s certainly not the creation of something (neural pathways) out of thin air.

I also don’t get how you get “war” or any other conflict out this discussion.

I think there is a type of balance between matter and and mind. How well each of us have achieved that balance is an open question. I suspect our mind is much less attuned to the non material, more spiritual world of God than it should be which means that the correct balance is definitely off.

I mean the normal state for humans is mind and matter in harmony. When you say mind over matter you put competition/war/battle between them. And no I don’t think twiddling your fingers is mind over matter either that was just hyperbole responding to a previous post.
