Your Thoughts Do Not Create Your Reality, Stupid.

[reeay]

When I think of magical thinking I think of a our need for control and mastery, too (along with personal responsibility) which could get us stuck in the self empowerment/disempowerment trap. When someone says, 'I know how this universe works and I can instantly change anything I want', this could be turned into a question - why do I want to know how this universe work and want to change as I will things to change? Wouldn't this be more of utility in deepening our seeking to know self? Why do I want to be powerful/empowered (bc that kind of suggests that the other end of the spectrum is also at work somewhere in the mind).
