Saw this quote today in a book I'm reading:

"Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else. - George Orwell"

Meditating on this entire concept, flavored with an old Wayne Dyer quote:
"If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."

He goes on to say:
"The truth of this little maxim is actually found in the field of quantum physics, which, according to some, is a subject that’s not only stranger than you think it is, it’s stranger than you can think. It turns out that at the tiniest subatomic level, the actual act of observing a particle changes the particle. The way we observe these infinitely small building blocks of life is a determining factor in what they ultimately become. If we extend this metaphor to larger and larger particles and begin to see ourselves as particles in a larger body called humanity or even larger—life itself—then it’s not such a huge stretch to imagine that the way we observe the world we live in affects that world."
