Extensive descriptions of how "thoughts create reality" and "reality is illusion" etc show up long, long ago in Buddhism.
There is a reason Shakyamuni never said "Food cannot cause you to put on weight, unless you think it can." There is a reason Krishna never advised people how to use cheap tricks to obtain a diamond necklace.

This reason seems to be the Real Secret.
