It depends on how you believe.
I know, I can't get wishy washier than that. But seriously, I believe in the powers of the mind and if you believe hard enough in numerology and never waver from that belief you'll make things happen. Or, you just put numbers together to get the answer you are looking for.
It's like the Book of Revelations, it will only come true if enough people wish it to (mass hysteria, pushed forth by Christian relious leaders afraid to lose power so they use fear to control their masses). If people heed the warnings and decide to set forth man's own destiny Revelations will never happen.
It's like the guy who smokes 3 packs a day, believes cigarettes aren't going to hurt him and refuses to listen to any warnings about it. This guy never has any smoking related illnesses. Is it because of his genetics or was it because he truly believed cigarettes wouldn't hurt him and he never doubted his beliefs?
Or the person who lives well into their 90's and is very healthy, yet ate anything they wanted. You ask and find their belief is they couldn't die yet because their family still needed them. (My grandmother, who is 95, is a great example of this.)
I know I rambled but the powers of the mind and beliefs are a very, very, interesting and intriguing subject to me.

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
