particular research studies as well as the scientists who conducted those studies.
It’s as if he were giving me directions to the local supermarket. When I
discovered this, that’s when I realized I was not working with an average
scientist, I was in the presence of a super mind. Dawson is brilliant, charismatic,
loving, and full of life. He and I share a passion—to understand and to know
more about who we really are and what is possible for human beings, especially
during these present times of change.
I loved reading this book because it provided answers to some of my own
personal questions about the relationship between mind and the material world
as well as the connection between energy and matter. I learned new concepts and
it helped me see the world differently. I was changed from my time reading it. It
is my hope that not only will it change you and help you to see the world
differently, but it will also inspire you to apply the principles so that you embody
the truth of what is possible for you in your life. If science is the new language
of mysticism, then you are learning from a contemporary mystic—my dear
friend Dawson Church. He wants you to become your own mystic too and to
prove to yourself that your thoughts matter—they literally become matter.

INTRODUCTION
Metaphysics Meets Science
Thoughts become things. This is manifestly true. I am sitting on a chair right
now. It began as a thought in someone’s mind—every detail of it. The frame, the
fabric, the curves, the color.
Thoughts become things. This is manifestly untrue. I will never be a
quarterback for the National Football League, no matter how earnestly I think
about it. I will never be 16 years old again. I will never pilot the starship
Enterprise.
Between the ways in which thoughts become things and the ways in which
thoughts can never become things there is a wide middle ground.
This book explores that middle ground.
Why? We want to be able to create to the outermost limits of our thought,
expanding our lives to the limits of our potential. We want to be as happy,
healthy, wealthy, wise, fulfilled, creative, and loved as possible. We also don’t
want to chase pipe dreams, thoughts that are never going to become things.
When we apply the rigorous standards of science to the inquiry, that middle
ground turns out to be enormous. Research shows us that with thought, used
deliberately, we can create things beyond the ordinary.
The idea that thoughts are things has become a meme in popular culture. It’s
held as a firm proposition in metaphysics, and some spiritual teachers ascribe
infinite powers to the mind. Yet there are clearly limits to human creative
abilities; I cannot manifest an aircraft carrier simply by thinking about one. I
cannot become Indonesian, jump over Mount Everest, or turn lead into gold.
New discoveries in epigenetics, neuroscience, electromagnetism, psychology,
cymatics, public health, and quantum physics, however, are showing that
thoughts can be profoundly creative. The page or device on which you now read
these words began as a thought. So did democracy, the bikini, space travel,
immunization, money, the four-minute mile, and the assembly line.
