The World Waits for Your Focus

Let’s start with the punchline: Your focused thoughts carry a physical weight.

Oh yeah, you say, how so? Okay, let’s dive in…

Have you ever had one of those moments where life, or let’s call it your lived reality, seems to notice you? Things going your way? Of course you have. I’d say we all have a story where we can talk about a lucky, positive outcome.

Perhaps you call it serendipity, or kismet. You think of someone, and they text you within minutes, for instance. For most of us, these moments are just a happy coincidence.

But what if it’s not coincidence at all?

What if the way you direct your attention, to your wishes, your anxieties, or the people you care for, doesn’t just change how you see your daily life unfold, but subtly changes how reality shows up for you?

To me, the more I learned about our consciousness, reality, the universe, the more the universe behaves like it’s listening to us.

We typically call this manifestation.

I’m not calling it manifestation. I’m suggesting something more fundamental. I’m saying that your directed attention changes informational order of reality. It’s physics. It’s a weight we haven’t found the tools to measure yet.

My theory proposes your focused thoughts carry a physical weight.

Let’s start with a simple, scientifically-backed fact: Holding your focus isn’t free. Your brain burns fuel when you concentrate. It forces billions of scattered neurons into temporary, measurable harmony. Fun thought, isn’t it?

That’s real energy. It is physical, costly, and quantifiable.

So here’s the question we rarely ask: If focusing requires that much measurable energy, where exactly does that energy go? Does it just dissipate as heat, does it travel outward?

My hypothesis is that this energy is used to organize information in the world around you.

Your Three-Day Experiment

If that sounds fun, here’s a simple, three-day experiment you can run on your own reality:

1. Pick One Thing: Choose one small but specific goal you’d like to see unfold (like getting clarity on a specific project, hearing from a certain friend).
2. Hold the Focus: For just 10 quiet seconds each morning, hold the goal in your mind. Picture it clearly. Feel the outcome already achieved. Commit to the feeling.
3. Let Go: After your 10 seconds, stop looking for it. Just observe what shifts, both in your internal clarity and in the events unfolding around you.

What If Your Awareness Is Organizing Reality?

Science already knows information is physical. Erasing a single digital bit, for example, releases heat. Your thoughts, memories, and choices all live inside that same thermodynamic universe.

So what if your awareness, the simple act of noticing, doesn’t just interpret the world but subtly organizes it?

Maybe your attention is more than a spiritual practice. Maybe it’s physics we haven’t found the tools to measure yet.

That’s the premise behind the Energetic Information Hypothesis (EIH):

Attention is energy. Energy organizes information. Information becomes reality.

In other words, where you place your awareness might shape what becomes real. Not through mysticism or manifestation or spirituality, you know, whatever you call this practice, but through a, dare I say, elegant way energy and information weave the fabric of existence.

Let’s throw it back to quantum physics. (I’m not a quantum physicist, hope that clear.)

The Paradox of the Quantum World

In the early 1900s, scientists discovered that tiny particles, like electrons or photons, act differently depending on whether someone is watching them.

When unobserved, they move like waves, exploring all possibilities at once. When measured, they instantly snap into one specific outcome.

That’s the famous double-slit experiment, and its outcome shattered the idea of a fixed reality. It showed that reality is not fixed until we look.

You Are a Subtle Creator

This is why this matters to you: because every day, your attention is the most powerful creative act you perform.

Each thought, each moment of focus, is a vote for one version of reality over another.

EIH proposes that your awareness isn’t passive. It’s fundamentally participatory.

You’re not a spectator of the universe, your life, your day-to-day decisions. Reality itself. You ARE a part of how reality decides what to be. Reality might not be fixed until you look. It’s waiting for your focus.

If the universe is organized by focused energy, the three-day experiment goes beyond self-help, it’s a first step in applied quantum physics.

Let me know how it goes.
