I cannot speak for everyone on this forum but I strongly suspect that most of us consider human thoughts to simply be processes that operate in our brains. These can effect the actions of our own bodies nothing more. Although through language we may influence the thoughts and actions of other humans but we certainly do not in any way - shape - transform - move physical objects in the world around us simply by thinking about them. Such ideas may be entertaining in fantasies in books or on screen but they are simply fantasies nothing more.

Every time tests have been carried out upon the "power of the mind" using established Scientific methods it has generally been proven that the established science was right and the mysticism was wrong. It would be a wonderful thing if our minds could somehow alter gravity but I am sorry to say the overwhelming quantity of physical evidence is totally against it.
