Rupert had a website - something like "7 experiments
to change the world" (wild guess from dim memory). His
hypothesis was cool. I personally know that
consciousness can control matter. I do that all day
when I move. The issue is with non-locality. If one
identifies only with the body with 100% belief, it is
unlikely that the "will" will go beyond the body ...
simply because one doesn't believe it. Few, if any,
are brought up that way.
