They also blindly believe in some oversimplified notion that "thoughts create reality" or "consciousness creates all of existence", and "the 'observer effect' PROVES reality would not exist without consciousness", when that is NOT the case at all! That is the infection of an imaginary belief construct that twists and corrupts they way someone perceives reality.
Oooh I am so happy you broached this! Action is the key ingredient, which lately with all the new age jargon, seems to be left out completely.
My response always is: So, right now, think about your dishes being done. Are they done? Think about your clean kitty litter box. Still full of crap ain't it?
Hmmmm...funny how no one can have success with thought alone to do the simplest tasks, like even turning on a light they need to see with, yet they will believe that the world's problems, and even huge issues in their own lives can be solved just by thinking good thoughts about it.
Hehe, yeah, good example. They speak of it as literal, but it's not literal. It's symbolic to mean that our thoughts create our actions that alter, affect, change and shape the reality that exists before us. But not thoughts alone, or themselves. We apply force through our action to move ourselves and other things, and change the human world. Thanks for the feedback.
No problem. Thank YOU for continuously bringing logic to the forefront.
