O.K. I will start by questioning your beliefs.

Do you believe in "law of attraction"?
No.

Not quite, but you can choose to be Borg if you like.

Here's an interesting video I meandered to from the stupid pseudo-physics link you posted: YouTube - Move It With Your Mind - See The Law of Attraction In Action

Now, what's interesting about that is that if you attach the pendant to something solid instead of holding it, suddenly energy stops going where attention flows. It's a great demo of how good our minds are at moving our bodies and not noticing, and of how good we are at fooling ourselves that we have psychic powers. You have proved it to yourself so much you will never doubt again. And that's all that matters, you say, "knowing yourself". Unfortunately, you don't.

Quantum effects are averaged out by the time we get to anywhere near the human scale. Sane physicists don't believe that the weirdness of particle physics means that matter doesn't exist if they're not looking at it, or that this gives them direct mental power over the physical world. Most physicists don't believe in the Law of Attraction. Pseudo-physics has always been peddled in support of religion. These days it's QM and chaos, that's all.

Enjoy the hive.
