Like It Or Not, It Works the Same Way

Once upon  a time, I was walking to a house to return something I had borrowed.  As soon as I turned into the direction of the house, I could feel it.  A true sense of foreboding.  I felt it the entire way and when I arrived, my intuition had not let me down.  The occupants were in the middle of a nasty disagreement.  I left said borrowed item and made a fast retreat.  It was a true demonstration of cause and effect.  What the cause of the argument was, I was never sure, but the effect it had sent out far reaching vibrations.
There are many people who have had similar experiences, such as walking into a place and instantly feeling that something wasn't quite right. 

This set of circumstances brings up prayer.  What exactly is it?
The dictionary defines prayer as a devout petition, or communion with God, or an object of worship.  Some prayers are spoken out loud, but many are simply conveyed by our thought process.  Praying and meditation has many outcomes.  Miraculous healings  are believed to have happened by the power of prayer.  Meditation has been proved to even lower crime in a specific area.  The evidence seems to point to the fact that like minded people can have an impact on surroundings and others.  It proves that thoughts are more than mere brain matter shenanigans.  It proves that they travel faster than speech.  Couples, who have been together for a long time, frequently have the exact same thought at the exact same time because they are so in tune with each other.

We usually associate prayer and meditation with good things.  It is during this time we seek out positive, helpful outcomes.   For instance, what would happen if everyone gathered together, or set aside a particular time of the day, to devote several minutes to think about the eradication of a certain disease?  Would that bring about a cause and effect of the greatest kind?  What if this was done daily or for a week, a month, a year?  What kind of wonderful things could be achieved by like minded minds?   

So, what happens when this scenario is turned around?  What happens when the thoughts are not so pleasant?  Do they have an effect on our surroundings? Do they have an effect on other people?  When the talk around the coffee shop is about the latest person who has the dreaded "C" word, does that help that person?  When we talk about getting the "C" word, does that put us in its path?  Do you think that the person who talked about getting "C" from the time they were in high school and then died from it at a very early age was merely a coincidence?  Does the old proverb about what a person thinks, he becomes, have any merit here?

There are all kinds of studies in quantum physics that prove that thoughts have direct impact on whatever the subject of the thought might be.  Think about that.  It works the same way.
