Does believing changes realities?

YOu know When a child gets hurt and starts crying mother's hug gives him comfort. He then starts believing he is OK. Even if pain is there but but he feels that comfort. I think somehow it works to some level. Recent surveys have shown dummy medicines working on people who were told its very strong and powerful medicine. The key point here is believing not fooling yourself and thats not easy. Had they known medicines are dummy it was so difficult for them to believe it.

I get the placebo effect but I think that is different because they didn't know it was a dummy medicine. They didn't know so its not their own belief but someone else's assertion that its a real medicine. While on the subject of the kid, I do agree with you on that one, kids are really impressionable and easy to manipulate but will only work on some level depending on the situation.

I am agree with you. Though Placebo effect is due to someone else's assertion but that is what makes patient strongly believe in medicines. So you are agree that when patient believes it then it works and effect is proportional to his believe in medicine. It will definitely be very difficult for the patient to believe if he knows that the pills are dummy. Now we all know that a statue of Lord Jesus is not actually the Jesus. It is dummy. But somehow we make our self believe in it. And it works. We fell his blessings and his presence proportionally to our believe. Same way if we learn how to make our self strongly believe into our dreams our dreams will come true. I know that is not so easy. But I believe it is possible. What do you say?

In a nutshell you want to say that beliefs are important but it will not change realities. What i feel is there are levels to which you can believe certain things. If you step off a tall building it is impossible in general for anyone to believe that he will not fall. Because we can not force ourselves to belief whatever we want. Beliefs comes from very deeper place inside of us. Our subconscious mind is the actual origin of it. What I Want to conclude that if some how you actually believe that you will not fall even after stepping off the building then you will actually not fall. Now the question is how do we reach to that level of believe ? Definitely we need to be able to control our subconscious mind. I understand it fells weird but i believe though very difficult but somehow it is possible. The great people Like Lord Jesus and Lord Buddha who could do miraculous act was because they had enough capabilities in them to believe without doubt that miracle will happen without fail.

Definitely you are right. There is extent to which we believe and certainly effect of it is proportional. I heard somewhere in bible It is written that Jesus say " If you believe in him and you say mountain to fly it will fly but there should not be any doubt in your mind." That is not so easy believing to that extent where we are 200% sure that if we say something it will happen. Ones one of Lord Jesus follower could walk on water believing in him on his commands but as soon as he started doubting he fell. This feels so miraculous. But in our history we have many such exceptional happenings.

It gives hope when you believe positively and many virtues like courage, patience, confidence etc... start supporting you when you believe something... Hope you get rich Very soon :)
