minus-squareTomJoad@lemmy.tflinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoA friendly thought for you: If your beliefs can change your body (which is part of the universe), and your changed body can further change the universe… then transitively… your beliefs can change the universe, right? And if that is true, then perhaps belief can be more than a placebo… Maybe it is a real, effective, psychological muscle.
