One gets and or experiences in their life - as their life - whatever one thinks or believes. This is a demonstration of sympathy (thought to thing) that 'manifests' that thing or event into one’s life. In the Emoto rice experiments the belief was the word on a physical piece of paper was the active agent. The written word plays a part but it is the idea or intend of those who wrote the word that is the actual active agent. What I’m saying here is THOUGHT in its many forms is as Keely said the "infinite exciter." Reading Quimby, Eddy, Proctor and Maltz - and others - one learns our beliefs/thoughts create our reality whether external events or internal health/disease.

"As far as my researches have gone, I find that there is but one condition approaching reliability, and that is in computing the intermittent periodic disturbances along a nodal vibratory transmitter - the nodes of gold, silver and platina - a fixed number placed at such different distances along its line, as to take up and equalize (by a certain order of vibratory transmissions) the chord masses of the nodal interferences between the triple metals of which the nodes are composed, and also the acoustic introductory impulse of whatever chord is set. This will determine the rate of their accelerated molecular oscillation, so induced beyond their normal standard, and give us some definite figures in the computing of vibration, thousands of billions of times more than those of light.
"Light is induced by electromagnetic percussion emanating from the ether, and in its action represents the plane of magnetism. In fact, it is the plane of magnetism when under polarization. (Platina wires the thickness of a fine hair associated with each of the nine nodal beads, and concentrated towards a general center of focalization, attaching the other end of the wires to the focal center, will determine, by the magnetic conduction, the number of corpuscular oscillations per second induced by a thought, either positive or negative, in the central centers. These are the only conditions - those of magnetic conduction - whereby the evolution of a thought can be computed in regard to its force under propagation, as against the amount of latent energy set free to act as induced by such thought on the physical organism.) Some scientific theories of the past have taught us that electricity and magnetism are one and the same thing. Sympathetic vibratory philosophy teaches that they are two distinct forces of one of the triune sympathetic family." Keely, circa 1893. Snell Manuscript, ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION - Snell

The Power of Thought is Real. “The power of thought is not just ideological. It manifests physically. Cohesion between individuals ramps up this power,” write the study’s authors. http://www.feelguide.com/2015/06/20/princeton-study-discover-group-consciousness-has-physical-effects-on-world-during-large-scale-events/
Nikola Tesla
Everyone should consider his/her body as a priceless gift from one whom he loves above all, a marvelous work of art, of indescribable beauty, and mystery beyond human conception, and so delicate that a word, a breath, a look, nay, a thought may injure it. [Nikola Tesla]

"However, it clearly demonstrated, for my disciples, the power of THOUGHT for good or evil. It showed them that the more spiritually evolved a person is, the greater is the impact of their words on the environment." [Christ Returns - Speaks His Truth, Letter 3, page 14]
Abraham Hicks
"When you visualize for the joy of visualizing rather than with the intention of correcting some deficiency, your thoughts are purer and therefore more powerful." [Abraham Hicks]
Franz Hartmann
"All forms are manifestations of life, they have no life of their own; for life is a universal power. They are the creations of thought-power, acting upon the Aakaasa. The creations of man are kept alive by the life-power that radiates into them from the life-centre in man who is a god in that world which he creates in his mind; his creatures are like shadows, vanishing when the fountain of light from which they drink is exhausted. When the psychical action of man, that gave them life, ceases to act, or acts in another direction, they will disappear sooner or later, and in the same way the forms of men disappear, when the life coming from God is withdrawn." [Magic White and Black (1888) by Franz Hartmann]
