This sounds like the "law of attraction", the key fundamental in 
things like "The Secret" and "Book of Miracles" and various vibrational
awareness spiritual awakening concepts.   I think it is a bit like 
the Buddhist gist of "your thoughts create the universe", which is
  kind of true.  Positive affirmations do indeed lead to positive 
outcomes, as many have discovered, but it takes focus, determination
and lots of energy, which is why few succeed in changing the universe
for their own betterment.   Which is why I can't levitate and don't have 
a million dollars yet.   But I'm working on it.

I am no scientist, but I like to think our brains act on a quantum
level.  What we perceive as electrical impulses and fields emanating 
from our brains are, as I like to think, a manifestation of quantum 
processes, that allow our consciousness to run outside of reality, such in 
the forms of dreams, imagination, processing thoughts
  and so on.   I hope I do not sound loopy about all this - I have 
often pondered a Sci-Fi story where it was found that the brain 
was a quantum engine and so on.....
