Nearly a month ago a friend noted that, "most people don't think.."

This was my reply:

What about feeling? Do you worry about that too? I don't just mean, "I feel hungry." I'm talking about the big ones - spiritual experience, walking on air after a kiss, knowing you are loved when you sit down for a holiday meal with your family and really feeling it.

Over the past twenty-some years researchers at Princeton's PEAR lab have proven that our thoughts, our consciousness, has an effect on random events. Thinking is vitally important. Not just being socially or politically conscious, but conscious of yourself and how you want to live. Your thoughts create your reality - in truth. We've known this anecdotally through the experiences of say, cancer patients. Those who keep a positive outlook and good humor tend to survive it better (stay in remission longer - beat the sucker entirely) than those who resign themselves to the inevitability of death. But now it has been proven scientifically that by concentrating, a person can affect the otherwise random decay of a radioactive isotope.

Anyway, that's what I've been thinking about lately - how 'bout you?
