Absolutely not.
If constantly thinking about something/anything could make it a reality, I'd have a giant mountain of cash sitting in front of me... and.... I don't, so you can draw your own conclusions based on my personal experiment. :)

There's a difference with being annoyed at people for throwing their ideas at you, and being angry...
Report as
You asked a question on an open forum- did you think everyone would agree with you?
The POINT of this forum is to "throw" ideas at people.

Not to mention you called him angry just for stating his opinion- he showed no anger at all, yet you resorted to cursing.
Report as
I've already announced I don't want to hear this crap, it is extremely annoying, and simply cursing does not mean someone's angry...
Report as
Again- this is an open forum. You cannot pick and choose who will answer you and all have a right to state their answers.
Report as
It's a website for asking and answering questions, not a website for people to start arguments, as you are doing, you're in the wrong place
Report as
He answered. On his answer you even told him to stop answering. You seem to want to only allow answers that agree with what you already believe.
Report as
I didn't respond to his answer at all. Go somewhere else troll

You guys need to read The Secret or watch it. Thoughts are words with action and you guys need to realize that!! The ones who don't and won't believe will be hit the strongest.
Report as
And stop arguing I think skeptic kitten needs to leave this thread!! I already reported you and if you don't leave you'll be banned
Report as
You can't report people simply for remarking. Trying to ban people from the site simply for disagreeing with you is against community guidelines.

Potentially. Depends on if you believe that "thoughtforms" are possible, or not. Probably worth mentioning that it would take a lot of energy (generally more than anything one single person could generate just by occasionally randomly thinking about something) being put towards a particular thing, in order to manifest it.

Just believing in something doesn't make it true.

So would simple anxiety over it be fine?

Funny... And bugging others doesn't make you right

@EmCeeBagel - just general thoughts and worry shouldn't be an issue. It's more like multiple people constantly (and in many cases purposefully) focusing their thoughts on something, generally over a long period of time.

They are both fictional books, but "Small Gods" by Terry Pratchett, or "American Gods" by Neil Gaimen tough a bit on the subject (and are both really reads anyways).

No. They aren't real at all and thinking doesn't have the power to make things real. If it did, wouldn't everyone be rich?

You're thinking of it wrong. Watch the secret or even read it. It talks about it. And you'll understand more. Thoughts are actions without words, they put everything into motion and can cause a lot of damage to one who is strong at it.

Yes, to you if obsessed. Real to the point that you will actually begin to see them. Imagination takes over and if the most and easily explained incident is a result of some being I'm not saying they don't exist though, I just think they are not a common thing or manifestation,

Hi, EmCee. I know we've talked several times now and I can't remember if you believe in God or not. But just in case you do, I wanted to give you something to stand on. BTW, I don't believe in "evil spirits" as far as something that can "haunt a house, etc.) Just wanted to let you know that Satan has his demons around us all the time trying to tempt us, doubt ourselves, faith (if we have it), scare us about things we already have questions about, just anything evil. However, in the Bible in Psalm 34: 7, it says, "The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and he delivers them. And in Psalm 91:11, it says: "For He (God) will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways." God's angels are much, much stronger than any demon (or evil spirit) than you could ever conjure up. So, hopefully, that will make you feel better. I hope you have a great day.

Thank you Sissy, that does help ease my mind a bit

Well, tell you what, I told you I didn't believe in the kind of evil spirits, I guess I should have said "ghosts" that haunt houses, etc. There is another passage in the Bible that talks about we wrestle with "spiritual wickedness" and against "darkness of the rulers of this world." Maybe our thing is just caught up in a different "word." Because I very much believe in that and maybe I should change or at least include my "demons" with evil spirits. So, in that instance, my answer would be a definite "yes, I do believe in them." But I always know that part of the wickedness of them would be wanted you to get obsessed with them, begin to worry about them and be afraid. That's their "duty". Satan will do anything he can to keep us from being happy. The more you obsess, the more they're going to get into your mind and push out what? Good, secure thoughts. This would be wonderful for you to do to replace those thoughts every time they enter your head. It comes from Philippians 4:8: "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things. Whatever you have learned received or heard from me, or seen in me - put into practice. And the 'GOD OF PEACE' will be with you." Don't know if that helps more, but that's my answer.

Thank you very much, helps me understand it a bit more

You're so welcome. Just every time one of those thoughts starts to creep up, say, "Get behind me, Satan!" He'll flee. ;-)

As much as I tried as a kid, believing in Santa Clause did not make him real.

Believing that evil spirits (or any supernatural entities) are real can cause real problems. Not because they are real, but because people make bad decisions based on the belief that they are.

With spirits they are out there but it is not because of thought they just happen to float around on unexpected times though it is rare but I wouldn't let it get to you.

Yes of course. Thinking about something like that over, and over again can make them into flourishition. It's just like if you were to think of oh I want that bike!! I gotta have it!! I will have that bike. If you keep thinking that, it'll come. Dwelling on negativity only brings on more and more negativity. So the answer is yes of course, thoughts put things into action!!

Surprisingly yes if you ever take an emt course they will teach you that if someone belives they are being harmed even if there not there can be fatal reactions such as a man high on LSD he thought he was being attacked by snakes he later died not from an overdose or complications his body shut down thinking it had poison in it you're mind is a door and its very powerful it has the ability to unlock every secret in the universe and remember it but it will never be able to understand its self we don't even know 99% of what our brains are capable of

IMO, you may have constant thoughts because there's already a spiritual battle happening over your life. If you believe in Christ & strive for righteousness, the angels will win the battle, we can strengthen them by our holy words. Words have power, thoughts are within, words are "out in reality". Unleashing positive truths should help your spiritual battle. Remember though, you may need to fight for righteousness as well.
