This is Why Consciousness Can Manipulate/Transmute Physical Matter.

Consciousness can manipulate physical matter because it is similar to controlling your body. It is akin to moving your arms and legs or directing certain thoughts—which lead to neurons & synapses forming physically in real-time within your brain. The same logic applies to matter manipulation/transmutation or controlling your external reality.

The only issue is the illusion of separation that limiting beliefs propagate; that there is some kind of boundary between your body and the physical world preventing your consciousness from exerting more control. To understand this, consider looking at an illustration of the world map. On it, you will see margin lines drawn dividing oceans—such as the Pacific Ocean separated from the Atlantic Ocean—and the continents or landmasses sitting nicely by themselves in isolation.

Now, for the oceans, we know that these lines do not bear weight in the physical if one decides to sail across the seas: all the waters look the same and shall converge into one another, more or less.

As for the landmasses, if you take away all the seas, oceans and huge bodies of liquid, then there exists only one titanic landmass with no bodies of water to separate it into continents/islands. Earth will be nothing but cannons, valleys, mountain peaks and flatlands, undoubtedly an arid wasteland, brethren to the planet Venus.

The above scenario applies to the relationship between your consciousness and physical matter reality as well. If you take away the made-up borders between your body, the environment and the universe at large, then they are all made up of the same essence in a scientifically measurable view—quantum particles and waves. In addition, if your consciousness can control the quantum particles and waves in your body (such as moving your hands, generating cells, holding your breath), then why should it—in theory and practicality—not control the quantum particles and waves of external reality?

The illusion (or imaginary border) is that consciousness cannot assimilate into the external world just as easily as it does to control one's own body. Nonetheless, the truth still stands that the body itself belongs to external reality, yet that does not hamper the influence of consciousness over it.
