If it's true that your belief and faith in something happen makes it manifest then what happens to all of your friends who believe in a different outcome?
e.g. if you believe in candidate A winning and your friend believes in candidate B then how come everyone gets sucked along with you to the candidate A universe?
shit makes no sense honestly

your body occupies a finite, non-zero amount of space. your life occupies a non-zero amount of time.
imagine that other "realities" or "universes" are just this universe spread along a 5th axis, p for probability. your mind or soul would presumably occupy a non-zero amount of space on axis p. in other words, you naturally don't exist on "a" timeline, you're sort of spread across many, just like your body has width and depth.
assuming it's possible to manipulate reality with nothing more than belief (i suspect it's not that simple), this would just mean shifting your focus and position to slide your soul along p. you're in a universe where the thing you wanted to happen has happened because you moved there, not because you moved the universe.
just one way to think about it. i still don't think "belief" or "intent" is all there is to the formula. for that matter i'm not really convinced that multiple timelines exist or that even if they exist we can slide among them. but quantum physics does suggest the many-words model is at least possible, and it might explain why gravity is so much weaker than the other forces, or how the double-slit experiment makes sense.
it might. it might not. better to ask these questions of people smarter than /x/.
Its hard to change objective actuality by yourself. Depending on what it is it can be done, things change retroactively in time from when you concept the thought. Normally the objective reality is out of reach for a single mind, you gotta work things subtly

The part of the friend that thought your were more important than the candidate got pulled into your Universe.

100% of any religion relies on the Universe being infinite. Especially when temporal manipulation is considered. Then it's a closed system of time but it never ends or begins.

It's only useful in very specific instances. And requires a great deal of forsight and general intelligence. It's not just a wish. It's using pattern to determine outcomes, and change them.

The problem with what you describe, is too many variables. It's not simply having the desire for something to happen. It's taking an active role in helping them happen naturally.

I think the message is, don't be smart. Hurr durr.

Never paid much attention. Kind of defeats the purpose if your nasty and not anonymous.

All powerful
To hold "all" that which is infinite

Still not seeing "universe" anywhere. Hell, some thought the earth was the flat center of the solar system, and you think they had a conception of the universe being infinite (always expanding but also infinite at the same time)?
But that's ok I can tell you are very well educated in comparative religion.
