But Cantando. That particular one has already been established by science. In fact Dean Radin has gone to Round 3 of his experiments with how thoughts affect the shape of water crystals, and each experiment has been more stringent than the next.
Entangled Minds: Water crystal replication study
(Okay, technically the change in shape of the crystals do not reflect a change in the molecular structure of the water, but a change in the hydrogen bonding between the water molecules. But close enough).
You see, this is the peculiar thing about the LOA. People will often say, "It can't be true, because if it were true, someone could just think XYZ and then XYZ will happen." And XYZ will represent their best personal attempt to find a ludicrous, impossible example, one that will hopefully disprove the LOA.
But even then they usually fail.
1. For your XYZ, you mention changing the molecular structures with thought. But I just cited you an scientific experiment which, at the very least, suggests that this is possible,
2. In another thread, for his XYZ, Kanzeon mentioned levitation. But I cited numerous instances where this has reportedly happened.
3. Kanzeon also mentioned leeches, and how they have no medicinal value even though ancient people believed so much in them. Well, I cited that the US FDA has now approved leeches for use as medical devices.
4. In the past, someone mentioned as his XYZ, money falling out of the sky. I provided a BBC article talking about a recent incident where money did fall out of the sky.
5. Other people have mentioned, as their XYZ, telekinesis. And I would give examples of people like Matthew Manning and Nina Kulagina, who did regularly perform telekinetic examples while under the observation of scientists. And it is rather common among qigong masters in China - I have provided links to videos about that as well.
6. And some other people mentioned, as their XYZ, the impossibility of being in two places at one time. And again I gave examples of reported instances when this has occurred - the technical term is bilocation.
7. Kanzeon also mentioned alchemy as an XYZ example. But i showed that in fact the technology for synthetically creating diamond already exists. General Electric was involved in a big way, in the research & development for that one.
8. And if you look at the scientific studies on hypnosis, you're just going to find so many strange examples of what thought
alone can do. Increase muscle strength; accelerate the healing of broken bones; accelerate the healing of surgical wounds; cure eczema, warts and psoriasis; eliminate assorted addictions; reduce pain in cancer patients ... etc etc
And the list just goes on and on and on .... As I said, none of these examples in their own is going to prove that mind creates reality. But viewed collectively, they surely provide a lot of food for thought, yes?
