It can be confusing when first trying to figure out what, “Thoughts are things,” means.

The irony of that is that, scientifically, thoughts are as much things as any thing is, though they happen to be “immaterial,” as judged by the 5 primary senses. Yet immaterial things are things.

But perhaps looking at the “causal potency” of thoughts reveals their real existence and their power.  You become what you think, because your thoughts have causal potency.

Literally, this is a Nobel Prize winning breakthrough. Roger Sperry was awarded the Nobel Prize for his discovery and outlining of the fact that thoughts have causal potency.

Your thoughts either throttle you down or they throttle you up. What you tell yourself affects how you feel, which affects how you act.

That being the case, it behooves us to examine what effects we would like to have. Then you back into deciding what thoughts you’d need to have to access the powers to create those outcomes. You create those thoughts consciously.

You can take yourself off of autopilot by creating new thoughts of your own manufacture.

Thoughts have causal potency is the scientific way of saying, “Thoughts are things.”
