Spiritual teaches have long said that we are all connected and our thoughts not only influence us personally but they influence everything in our world. If you think of a thought as a pebble dropped in the ocean the waves that it creates on the surface of the water is exactly the same wave pattern that our thoughts create in the physical world around us. We cannot help but influence each others one way or another. The problem is how do we use this knowledge to connect and influence others to manifest what we want from our lives.
