Have you ever had an unlikely wish come true? Did you have the feeling that you may have made it happen perhaps through the strength of your desire or your activation of an energetic pattern of intent as you wish for it?

In addition, there is an affirmation of a persons ability to shape reality and a feeling of being worthy on some higher level as witnessed by having ones wishes granted. Research in parapsychology and spiritual healing confirm that wishes and intents can alter the probabilities of: dice thrown mechanically showing a randomly chosen number a random number generator (RNG) deviating from random output, where the RNG is based on an electronic program or radioactive emissions the cascade of balls through a randomizing maze of pins rates of growth of bacteria, yeasts, cells in laboratory culture, and plants rates of healing in animals who have malaria, amyloidosis, skin wounds rates of healing of humans who have anxiety, pain, depression. The parapsychological research has been replicated in sufficient numbers of studies in numerous laboratories around the world, and the meta-analyses of the results are more substantial than in many other areas of research. Research on spiritual healing for human subjects also demonstrates significant effects in human and non-human subjects. The Western worldview is one of seeking outer achievements and successes as ways of validating our personal worth and success in life. With this mindset, we develop a pattern of seeking ever more, never-ending outer goals. Our wishes are often directed towards successes in these endeavors and are never-ending, never satiating
