Particularly with electronics, I've used applied will to get things to 'work'.
What do I mean? I'll give an example. In Vancouver there is a transportation system called the Skytrain.
Whenever I use it, I use my debit card to buy a ticket. However, the machines are NOTORIOUSLY unsuccessful at reading debit cards. They constantly screw up, and so it usually takes several times using a few of the vendors to get it working. Often enough the machines don't work at all.
Many a morning I've needed to buy a ticket, and with my train coming inbound getting it to work was necessary, and out of this necessity grew my interesting observation.
By using applied will(usually without perceptable energy, aside from the will itself) I have succeeded in making the machines read my card many, many times.
I have tested it many times, and failure is almost instantly turned to success via the application of will to these electronic machines. And its not just this.
Various electronic machines have proven susceptible to the concept of applied will including electronic dice, calculators, physical keys, electronic beepers, cell phones, computers, and more not mentioned.
As a magician I have a number of ready-theories that I can apply to explain the phenomena, but that doesn't make it any less interesting.
Has anyone here had similar experiences, application of quick and simple will to mold physical events, as opposed to a full blown ritual, radionic trend, or other such event?
