This is a good start from JJ, "This seems to invite the question "Does putting energy into awareness inform us of truth or create it?" If I put enough energy into the awareness that my grandma is actually still alive, can I make that true?

You wouldn't need to put energy into this statement to make it true. It already is true. I see what you mean, but you're assuming she has died. That is a true assumption, but that is a limiting assumption because that is not the only assumption to be had. It's ignorant to assume she is only dead.
So, if I'm understanding you correctly, she is both dead and alive at the same time and it isn't about my putting energy into the awareness to "make it true" but rather to shift myself where I can see that it is true. Is that about right?
If the universe really is as flexible as all that, it obsoletes both logic and reason as tools for determining truth. Perhaps they're still good tools for focusing awareness though.
The question remains how to test all of this. If I shift to see any people that I previously believed were dead, and succeed, maybe I'm only deceiving myself. Is there a way to "know" the truth of this?
