I know this is sooooooooooooooo way off topic
. It's called "the law of attraction" and in short it says that there's vibrational frequencies to everything in the universe, and these frequencies interact sympathetically and harmonically just like sound frequencies. so if you think about something a lot, it tends to bring that something into your life.
the "vibes" of your thoughts interact with every other bit of energy in the universe, and things start "coincidentally" working out along the lines of what you were thinking.
when you're at the alpha level, your brain waves are regular (not chaotic like at the beta level, the normal waking state of consciousness); you're more focused, and so the thoughts you're putting out are more focused and thus have a greater impact on the world
if you think that this is all new age-y nonsense, I caution you: I'm a mathematician. the essence of my job is to show the logical results of given assumptions, and to always test assumptions and see whether they can be reduced or eliminated. it's a HUGE assumption that the world consists only of what we can perceive with our senses... we all interact with radio waves every day, but they can be "seen" only because we mathematically know how to interact with them (ie setting up an antenna, tuning it such, etc) ...I've been working for several years on a problem related to this concept of the energetic interactions between all things...
and before anyone worries about being off-topic: these are the things I think about in "my high top camper" :) :) :)
One of my hobbies is theoretical physics, especially relativity & quantum mechanics. Also stat.s cause I like to know what the numbers REALLY MEAN.
I would love to talk about this.
there's vibrational frequencies to everything in the universe,Just light and sound, ........not the biggest force, gravity, nor anything at the quantum level, which is everything at the atomic scale and "below" - well actually, that includes photons and some mediums used for transmission of "sound waves" - so light and sound waves are in question at the quantum level
and these frequencies interact sympathetically and harmonically just like sound frequencies,I think they waves you are thinking of also work to negate each other, - the trough effect
My background is in neurophysiology, the nervous system,
( but would have been happeir as a vw mechanic! too late!)
when you're at the alpha level, your brain waves are regular (not chaotic like at the beta level, the normal waking state of consciousness); you're more focused Actually when you are in the beta state, your mind is more focused and determined, and beta state is not really chaotic just higer frequency. Chaotic = amt varation around the mean, looking at alpha waves, they seem to be more chaotic than beta waves. http://www.web-us.com/brainwavesfunction.htm
so the thoughts you're putting out .... you would have to prove to me the thought-energy you are putting out is measureably over/beyond what energy our bodies normally put out (heat, water, etc)
the "vibes" of your thoughts interact with every other bit of energy in the universe, and things start "coincidentally" working out along the lines of what you were thinking.again, I think you are not considering the trough effects, your thougts would be like dropping a peice of a grain of sand in the ocean and say it has an influence. Neat & fun saying ,but the wind from a butterflys wing does not change worldwide weather.
it's a HUGE assumption that the world consists only of what we can perceive with our sensesAbsolutley true. Red, green , blue etc, does not exist, neither does sweet, sour, etc, nor does sound , hot or cold exists outside of our senses
so if you think about something a lot, it tends to bring that something into your life.
your brain waves are regular (not chaotic like at the beta level, the normal waking state of consciousness); you're more focused, and so the thoughts you're putting out are more focused and thus have a greater impact on the worldThese are New Age ideas. Always wonder why New Age ideas are not declared as being "New Age" ?
We should talk at next year picnic, out of ear range of the other members, otherwise the club members would kill us.
