Wow.  If you can change reality through will alone, I'd sure like to see some evidence of it.  Ought to be easily testable if it's true.

The problem is that once a person is under the microscope they know it and so doesn't work.  Science says something about the act of observation it self can change the outcome of an experiment.  This is why we can see it from time to time but can't really test it.

I guess it depends on what kind of reality we're talking about. Social reality does change when the object being observed is aware it is being o observed. But physical reality...I'm not so sure. A watched pot boils at the same rate as an unwatched pot. It just seems that it never does because the mind of the observer is more aware of the passage of time. It's time that's being watched, not the pot.
