mind over matter seems to have limits. someone mentioned that some pro athletes stated they could materialize things from their thoughts and blamed that so called 'ability' on their athletic success. it really is nonsense because for the vast majority of people it's not true. Only Biblical prophets and ancient blessed figures (given miracles) could literally materialize something. I don't think there's a single pro athlete today who materialized anything. the most they could do is materialize themselves training and succeeding and achieving, and then doing the process of dieting and training. it's not a literal materialization as in they believe they can be athletic and muscular and it just happens automatically. the people who heal do it because their metabolic rate allows for it. otherwise there's something supernatural involved.
You speak as if it's 100% matter of fact. Did you read the part I wrote before mentioning mind over matter? Most likely nothing is 100% matter of fact because we will simply learn more in future months, years, decades etc that will either reshape what we know of the subject, or completely rewrite it.
I wasn't talking about materializing things out of thin air initially, although I will now, for I have had so many experiences where my thoughts and words would bring something within minutes or days, or that are connected to something, some call that synchronization, some could call it materializing. I get this so often on a near daily basis that I don't even bank 99% of them in my memory anymore. Things such as, out of the blue remembering a band I used to like over a decade ago named Kiuas. I had not thought of them in over a decade, yet this was a powerful feeling of nostalgia that brought back strong emotions. It's a band nobody around me knows, and this random nostalgic memory of this band prompted me to google them. Oh would you look at that? The band announced their comeback just earlier that very month that I had this nostalgic memory. They disbanded in 2011, around the same time I stopped listening to them and they completely left my conscious thoughts.
Another.. I heard a song in the car that was so catchy to me I sang it all week. 'Big Bad John'. After a week of singing that song aloud, my wife dragged me to the Target that we go to every couple of weeks. Oh there's a new T-Shirt brand that wasn't here when we came just a couple weeks prior. Oh wow they fit me perfectly! This is so unlikely, I'm a big guy, wide shoulders and chest but my waist isn't that large, so I had never found a shirt, let alone an entire brand line, that fit so perfectly before in my life! What's the brand called? Johnnie Big.
There is something 'supernatural' about that. Or perhaps it's actually very natural, but most people are simply blind to it.
You speak as if you know everything as a 100% matter of fact. How do you know the limits of mind over matter? How do you know that for the vast majority of people this is not true? Do you know the beliefs of the vast majority of people? If belief in the subject, whatever it may be, is required, how do you know that the majority of the people both believe in it, and are not affected by that belief? How do you know the vast majority of people simply don't believe in it, or believe it is NOT true, so they manifest said belief of nothing?
Nobody knows the extent of placebo or nocebo, nor do we know the extent our beliefs have over our physical bodies and our reality all-together.
There are crazy stories of people surviving the impossible. A man mauled by a bear, with his guts falling out, stuffing his guts back in and crawling for miles to safety and survive. A woman surviving a fall from thousands of feet high. A Scottish man in WW2 who wore a kilt, played the bagpipes and used a sword to fight all of his battles and lived into old age. It is my belief that these crazy survival stories exist, not just from sheer dumb luck, but mind over matter and absolute sheer belief in survival.
It is my belief that the biggest factor in surviving 'the impossible' is your willpower. Mind over matter. Do you have thoughts like 'Is this it? Is this when I die?' Or do you have absolute unwavering belief when you think "I do not die here, I live, no matter the circumstances".
There's no proof of this of course, it would be illegal to study something that deadly. But everything I've experienced in my life (including a couple near death experiences) has led me to believe this.
