What does it mean when you see something over and over?
Frequency illusion, also known as the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon or frequency bias, is a cognitive bias in which, after noticing something for the first time, there is a tendency to notice it more often, leading someone to believe that it has a high frequency of occurrence.
Can thoughts affect matter?
Through our thoughts and our emotions, we create material realities that already exist in the quantum field in a vibrational form. We are therefore able to make our observation (immaterial world) perceptible to our senses (in the material world). The law of attraction works, but be careful because it works both ways!

What does it mean when someone says “it doesn’t matter”?
When one says, “it doesn’t matter,” in effect, she is saying she wants to remove the meaning from the event. Often this is because the meaning, perhaps the expectations attached to the meaning, are causing pain. “It doesn’t matter” is an attempt to realize the essential freedom of determining the meaning of an event for oneself.
Does our thought affect the object of our thought?
Our thought does not affect the object of that thought unless we believe it does. How freeing it is to know that if we do not attend to a thought, answer it, change it, identify with it and all the rest, it literally ceases to exist.
What happens to the contents of what you are thinking about?
The contents of what you are thinking about are in no way affected by the fact that this thought is appearing within you, nor is he/she/it aware that such an event is happening in your internal world. The thought appears in front of and within only you. Without the juice of your attention, it simply disappears without a trace.
How do we make a thought into a solid object?
We make a thought into a solid object by focusing on it and relating to it as if it is an event happening in the world somewhere. Usually in the world of the person or thing that we are thinking about. We link the two—the thought and the object that the thought is about—when in fact, the two are not actually connected.
