To understand the effect our mind has on matter, there's an experiment that demonstrates this, known as the "double-slit experiment." In this experiment, a beam of subatomic particles is emitted. When the researcher directly observes them, these particles behave like waves that spread out, and when not directly observed, they behave like particles, i.e., like electrons. This experiment has been conducted multiple times, always yielding the same result: if you look, they spread as waves; if you don't, they propagate as particles.
Trying to explain this phenomenon, the "Copenhagen Interpretation" is one of the most accepted interpretations of quantum mechanics. Based on the work from the 1920s by physicists Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg, the "Copenhagen Interpretation" can be considered the orthodox view of quantum mechanics.
According to this theory, subatomic reality is in a state of superposition until it is observed; that is, particles do not have defined properties until an observer measures them. This means that the human mind plays a crucial role in creating reality... even if it's at the subatomic level.
In other words: A quantum object does not have a definite objective state until it is measured, and the act of measuring an object affects its state. Instead of existing as a defined entity with a specific location in space and time until observed or measured, particles are in all possible states at once. This is known as "superposition," and only when these particles are observed do they "collapse" into one defined state out of all possible ones.
This leads to endless philosophical and scientific debates because, as shown in these types of experiments, what is perceived by the senses is merely an illusion or a projection of hidden coherence. Therefore, if our mind can affect and alter the nature of things, are we part of the universe's creative mind?
Of course, some argue that this has only been demonstrated at the subatomic level and does not necessarily apply to larger scales; others, on the contrary, assert that this shows a profound connection between the human mind and the creation of the universe, suggesting we simply haven't found an experiment like the "double-slit" to prove it on a grander scale.
There is, however, evidence of how the power of the human mind can often influence events that affect our daily lives, both positively and negatively. When one puts all their willpower (along with preparation and hard work) into achieving a goal, it often succeeds. Similarly, when someone goes through life with pessimism, believing everything goes wrong, that they're jinxed, and neither strives nor prepares to change that situation... they remain just as jinxed in life.
