magical thinking

RE: magical thinking
lol no .. not thoughts by themselves it would still take an action of communication. For instance here's an excercise:

Finish reading this paragraph and close your eyes. Do a quick spin in your chair now. When your eyes are closed. Visualize as many red objects as you can in the room you're in, then open your eyes to verify.

Touch a red item feel it's texture. Bring it close to your eyes (till out of focus)and back 3 or 4 times. Now close your eyes and try again to identify as many as possible.

You will find yourself after this experiment noticing more red things than you would usually do, or llingering on stop signs. Your focus of will is your perception of your reality.
