Impulse Theory
Why the Law of Attraction is an illusion – and what actually governs reality.
Everything in our existence follows a fundamental mechanic: the principle of cause and effect. The "Impulse Theory" radically breaks with spiritual clichés to examine the raw, logical structure behind seemingly random events. This book is an invitation to understand the invisible dynamics of coherent moments and to realize that the universe does not respond to wishes—but exclusively to the precise, systemic impulse.

The Impulse Theory
Foreword: The Puppy Impulse
I don't believe in supernatural powers, but I once accidentally wished for a puppy, in the middle of the night, delivered to a gas station somewhere in the middle of nowhere, in less than 20 minutes.
There are experiences so strange that you would hardly believe them unless you had experienced them yourself. One such event, many years ago, along with numerous other experiences of this kind, has occupied me for a lifetime and ultimately perhaps also inspired the development of the impulse theory. I will probably never forget that one summer night.
I was visiting friends late that night, it was already well past midnight and a documentary, probably about dogs, was casually playing on TV. As I was leaving my friends' apartment, a scene with a cute puppy caught my attention and prompted me to spontaneously say: 'I want a puppy like that too.'
However, this sentence did not reflect my preferences at all; in fact, I’m more of a cat person. Still, like many people, I was probably fascinated by baby animals, regardless of their species.
After I had left my friends' house, I spontaneously drove to a gas station to buy something. In the sales room, I met three young men who were also shopping there. One of the three spoke to me and opened his jacket, from which the head of an approximately three-month-old puppy looked out, and offered me the animal for sale.
After I rejected all his price proposals, because I didn't want a dog and would never have thought of getting a dog, no matter what breed, he pulled the puppy out of his jacket, put it in my hands and said: 'You can keep it'. Then he turned around and disappeared. At that time, I had not yet realized what was happening, because I had long forgotten the fleeting wish for a puppy.
When I came to my senses again, the three boys were gone, the puppy and I were sitting in the car at a gas station and staring at each other. At that moment, it dawned on me, because I suddenly remembered the 'television event'.
The visit to my friends was less than twenty minutes ago, and it was, as I said, in the middle of the night. If I had known that I could wish for a pet, I would have wished for a cat.
Actually, there is only one rational, non-religious explanation so far to explain the connection between a casually uttered remark, the television image of a puppy, and a real puppy, in the middle of the night, at a gas station, somewhere in the sticks.
It could only have been a coincidence that had nothing to do with the dog documentary on TV or my trivial remark about wanting a puppy. If this event had occurred a few hours later, I would certainly no longer have remembered the television event, and probably never would have made a possible connection. But let's spin the other, not so rational possibility further.
Perhaps I reacted to the image of the puppy on TV with a kind of spontaneous enthusiasm and without formulating a conscious intention, unless the uttered sentence also had an influence. In doing so, I unconsciously emitted a kind of frequency pattern that exactly corresponded to the signature of a puppy manifestation. The television event and my short, simple, clear and unambiguous 'statement' lasted only two seconds and then immediately disappeared from my consciousness. Only later, in the car, did a sudden 'aha' moment lead to a retrospective realization that revealed the connection to me.
The main mechanism of this instant manifestation was possibly only immediate forgetting. But if we are supposed to forget what we wish for, only trivial wishes come true, or casually uttered sentences that we didn't really mean. The trick could therefore be to immediately forget one's own 'thought-word-feeling creation'. What if all our wishes, without exception, came true, but we had long forgotten them as part of the condition of their manifestation? This is where the snake bites its own tail, and we will shed light on what this specifically means at the end of the book.
One might ask whether such a specific frequency pattern as the idea of a puppy can even be encoded. But if one considers the countless combinations of states of the brain, from electrical activity to spatial synchronization to emotional coherence, it seems quite conceivable that even such a specific intention leaves a recognizable signature. In a sufficiently sensitive resonance system, every intention, no matter how absurd, could have its own frequency composition.
Often, we refer to such spontaneous manifestations, whether material or spiritual phenomena, as coincidences, or simply forget them again, because our conditioning, to think in a certain way, ignores these coincidences to maintain our fragile worldview.
I am sure each of you can look back on similar experiences. The history of mankind is full of crazy anecdotes and events that are often exaggerated or even untrue, but sometimes also originated from a real event that cannot be easily explained. But there are also many modern, documented cases that contradict our deterministic world model and therefore should never have happened.
You are probably wondering what happened to the cute puppy. Perhaps you suspect that this accidental 'order from the universe' nevertheless served a divine purpose, or a higher purpose that we are unable to fathom. Because often our romantic conditioning in such surreal situations overlaps with the sober, often simple reality of the laws that underlie the universe.
Unfortunately, no higher purpose has revealed itself to me personally in connection with the dog event, unless the universe has a very special kind of humor. Apparently, there is no precognitive evaluation system and your personal circumstances are completely irrelevant to the universe. This quantum field behaves like a gigantic multidimensional mail-order house with a paper trail, which 'communicates' exclusively via a one-way pneumatic tube system.
It only accepts orders and processes incoming impulses. It then delivers exactly what is on the 'form', without adding any vague meaning clauses to the package. And this, contrary to all our habits such as guarantees or rights of return, this unlocatable mail-order house does not even have a customer service or even a contact address.
In any case, the little dog plunged my previously so beautifully ordered life into utter chaos and had dismantled half the apartment furnishings into tiny pieces in just a few days. Ultimately, the accidentally wished-for puppy ended up with a neighbor who had always wanted a dog. And I was more than happy to have gotten rid of this cute, but not entirely well-thought-out gift from the universe.
The short but intense time with the puppy taught me to be more careful with such unconscious requests, because even a puppy can become a real challenge. So think carefully about what you wish for. And here's how it could work.
So if you actually manage to 'materialize' a cat, remember: The universal field does not follow your logic of sense and purpose. Because if you have a cat allergy, it would be more sensible to first invest an impulse in a cure or a visit to the allergist, and don't forget the most important thing: to immediately forget it again.
Don't think for a moment that it would be easy to manifest even a tiny speck of dust, just because we might now glimpse the mechanism behind it. At the current state of research on spontaneous manifestation and placebo effects, we are still at the very beginning. Even tiny conscious reality manipulations on demand could be difficult for the human brain under normal conditions, not to mention scientific proof.
The more existential the intention is for us, the more difficult it becomes to refrain from subsequent impulses. And even if our lives depended on it, few of us would be able to avoid thinking of a lifebuoy while drowning.
However, humans have a good disposition to simply forget important things, as the history of mankind undoubtedly proves. But there is a new technology that could technically circumvent the 'forgetting problem'. More on this in the last section of the book.
So it seems to make no difference whether what we are trying to manifest has a special meaning for us, as the dog example clearly shows.
Also at a societal level, it can be observed that the results of such techniques hoped for by many, such as success, prosperity and health, apparently occur regardless of emotional or moral orientation. A special mindset, the ability to meditate or the achievement of ominous states also do not seem to be a necessary prerequisite to provoke extraordinary resonance experiences.
My strangest experience (attention: now it gets a little esoteric) was while I was sitting at the computer doing some boring research.
Suddenly, from one second to the next, I was floating without my body over a gigantic mountain range and a huge ocean spread out before me, at the same time I was overcome by a very unusual feeling of 'calm'. It wasn't really a feeling, but rather a state, a form of perception that I was not even remotely able to put into words until a few years ago I saw a man on a television show who reported exactly such an experience.
I only remember that one sentence he said in that show, and at the time I thought: That's an interesting formulation that may not describe it exactly, but comes very close to this state. He said: 'When I was floating up there, I knew every grain of sand on the beach below me by its name.' And although this impressive experience was certainly not a dream, because I was wide awake, and dreams are always nebulous, vague or abstract, according to our understanding of what can and cannot be, it could at best have been a hallucination in Super-3D.
Should the 'puppy event' actually have occurred as a result of impulse and forgetting, i.e. it was a targeted manifestation and not a coincidence, then concepts such as the 'Law of Attraction', vision boards or hours of visualizing and repeating mantras to create a manifestation would be rendered absurd.
The impulse theory goes even further: It concludes that precisely the constant repetition and wishing can actively prevent a manifestation, at least when it comes to quickly wishing for a puppy. (Zeno effect) [20]. Even if such subjective experiences as floating over a mountain contain a strange certainty that an impenetrable meaning resides in everything around us.
Like many others, I too initially believed in the Law of Attraction due to its apparent logic. But I never managed to manifest anything with these time-consuming practices of intense 'thinking about it' and constant repetitions.
The concept of the Law of Attraction and related methods have since been exploited by countless authors in hundreds of variations and, in my opinion, are burned out both in terms of marketing and practical application. The promises of these systems, of health, fame or quick riches, have probably proven to be obviously false. Because rarely have the readers of such far-fetched wishing techniques achieved fame and riches, but often only the inventors of these seductive promises, who have built entire business branches with these claims. Although even today, almost daily, new 'now-I-really-got-it' systems are published, which at best keep the former enthusiasm glowing.
The impulse theory, in the following chapters, starts from a singularity resonance point, or SR point for short, which describes a state of inner coherence. This state is 'followed' by a singularity resonance impulse, SR impulse, which, even if it often arises unconsciously, presumably produces such effects.
This book is an attempt to move these phenomena from the edge of reality, precisely because of their potential possibilities, a step further into the empirical realm and to offer a plausible explanation of what could be behind these phenomena.
The impulse theory promises neither wealth nor puppies and does without crystal balls or esoteric half-truths. It approaches the phenomenon with a mix of empirical, speculative and theoretical approaches from quantum physics, psychology and philosophy. It does not claim to be complete and does not replace common sense.
The impulse theory is an invitation and a challenge to examine and further develop the concept in order to explore the mysterious connections between mind and matter.
