Since I have the book handy with me right now, I thought I might as well share this next bit with all the LOA explorers on this forum.

Can thoughts alone change reality? Sure. In Buddhist terms, that's because thoughts alone can give rise to karma, and karma most definitely produces effects in your reality.

Q: Is there a difference between thought and action with regard to karmic effects? ....

His Holiness: As I explained, the Buddhist concept of karma is not confined to bodily action alone; it also embraces mental acts, or we could say emotional acts. For example, when we talk about an act of covetousness, or a harmful intention, these are not necessarily manifest in behaviour. One could think such thoughts fully and in detail without expressing them in action at all, so a certain completion of these acts does happen on the mental level.
