I think communication is the essential reality:
thinking.
What ever method I use to explain causality, the "evidence" must be found where I am.
Since I am writing this on the fly, I don't know what evidence actually is.
It appears contextual and not absolute.
If it were absolute, this would be felt as a memory.
All the sounds are falling through holes. Whether they mean anything or not would take more sounds, taps, nods, pointing or offerings of "stuff" to verify.
Further, if I want something and I don't do anything at all but think about it and then I wait for it to appear in reality and it works then I would be able to make things appear in reality that do not exist.
I can do this as communication only.
I cannot manifest an actual dinosaur in reality.
I can "manifest' the one I can build, though.
If I build one from the original materials (DNA and friends) then I am still building, functioning as an interface.
If the law of attraction were true, it would apply to everything I could think of without discrimination.
What I think is happening is probability narratives for causality.
From my view, I am alive in the one place I have no memory of.
Communication is what I am.
I can't answer your question due to the impossibility of isolating the causation/correlation puzzle.
I cannot know if getting what I wanted was caused by wanting it. I could also have been falling towards it the whole time, regardless of thoughts and wanting.
If I try to say it, it comes out poetry:
pulsating marbles; mobius strip teasing.
