For example, can thought control computers?

Can thought, essentially, infest itself within other matter or complex things like microprocessors?
Hi Derek,

I've been giving this a lot of thought, pardon the pun, and personally I think thoughts only control the outer body e.g clean your teeth, and not the 'workings' e.g. heart keep pumping, on the inside. Although, I do believe 'states' of being have an effect on our health, which is on the inside. So essentially, I would say our thoughts do interact with the physical body, but don't control it.

I also feel that we put too much emphasis on the actual thoughts and what they mean to us, because it will not be the thought once it becomes energy. Energy is energy. My theory is that the energy we emit from thoughts vibrates at different levels depending upon the emotion or desire or the strongest feeling attached to the thoughts. They can be negative or positive and everything inbetween.

In answer to your question of :Can thought, essentially, infest itself within other matter or complex things like microprocessors? I would say yes but depending upon the intensity of the thoughts. I don't necessarily think the 'thoughts' themselves will manifest but the energy behind the thoughts(fear, love, stress etc,) will have an effect somewhere.

For example on a personal level, we could be thinking "I hate you and I wish you were dead" and it would have no effect on the person it is aimed at. However, the negative emotion behind the thoughts would create a negtive energy and your t.v. might break down. regards
