Today I want to talk a bit about how our brain works and why thoughts are not locked inside our heads, but are trespassers, which can affect the world out there. The most astonishing implication of the new physics concerns the role of human intention—its ability to shape our world, its central role in the nature of reality. Quantum theory suggests that reality is not fixed, but fluid, or mutable, and hence open to influence, and that we are central to this entire process as influencers.
