- TeMPOraL 4y agoWe do not live in the wizarding world. There is a limit to how much your perception can influence your own body, or physical processes around you. That applies in both directions - belief alone can't move a mountain, but it also can't stop the excavators already moving one.

- nebulousthree 4y agoI would argue that because your body is the one doing the perceiving, there is likely no limit to the ability of our perceptions influencing our bodies. Belief alone can't move a mountain, but is that not because the belief is not strong enough, rather than because beliefs don't physically have hands with which to hold the pickaxe?
