Some ppl believe its possible to manifest anything even a healthy body free of diseases, others even believe that our emotions cause diseases. If youre calm and cool and believe in your superior health and strength maybe idk its possible to overcome anything.

i read a book recently called the myth of reality that argues for conscious realisim, the idea that the only thing that exists is consciousness and the physical world we percieve is a convienence put forward by our consciousnesses as a way of compressing all the information that we recieve, allowing us to make useful decisions. the book argues this is why we have never been able to explain how consciousness arises from the purely physical system that is our brain, because we're getting it the wrong way around. if consciousness does underlie our physical reality, it makes sense that consciousness would be able to influence things in ways which are hard to account for in the language of our information-compression interface- the language of space, time, momentum etc.

ive always felt very strongly that our expectations and beliefs go on to shape our personal experiences. im reluctant to put into words that i think our minds can shape reality beyond us, the logical part of me feels almost embarrased at the thought, but i definitely feel that way. i recall a friend experiencing a string of bad luck that seemed supernatural, cursed- she just kept getting hit with horrible, life changing events one after another. it was beyond belief. she said to me she cant stop feeling like more bad things are coming. and they kept coming, and coming, and coming.

it seems cruel and foolish and uncaring to say that her mindset somehow caused this bad luck. but again i cant help but feel that a better outlook would have made her, at the very least, more capable. is that callous? is it wrong? i dont know
