" Like water going through a pipe."
When learning about electricity you will hear some people say something along the lines of a circuit is just one thing passing through another a channel of water in a river. Or air through the vents, but I have an example that works just the same. Take for a example how the car just goes in a loop, you can set the loop to whatever you want the car will only go in one direction. This car is a circuit or (Direct Current DC) and will go where ever you want it to go, just as long as the track is always connected. Some guy named Tesla who got his ideas taken by the American Businessman Thomas Edison and now the car can go in both directions at any given time. (Alternating Current AC) In this analogy the device for transferring elements(air and water) would be wires.
The mind is a bunch of wires with cars running through them, or better yet a car with nothing but wires. The mind works like this and so does electricity, and we can all agree on this. Then the universe being a gigantic mind is easy to believe then also. Whats in those chemicals inside the wires are the same light codes and the structure they take on is a command in the form of algorithm. So if you can change your mind you can most certainly change the world.
