The essence of the scientific method is that it is based on being able to repeat results. If you get the same results every time you do the same operation, and when anyone else who repeats it get the same result, you can safely conclude that you have a scientific explanation. But quantum mechanics says no, you have to assume everything happens with a probability but not with a 100% certainty. It's always statistical only. The two views are not compatible. Now that gives us a problem, because QM breaks science. Yet physicists tell us that QM is real. Basically they are implying we cannot trust science anymore. I realized this tonight when I realized that quantum connectivity might mean that sympathetic magic might have a real basis, but would be very hard to prove as it would be probabilistic in operation. Holy smoke. Might we want to rethink parts of old-time magic after all? Something to ponder.

Magic is a thousands year old theory with a base postulate on the nature of reality and a set of intellectual skills for interacting in a world with that universal truth. Magic is reality.
The magic you're referring to is named after "real" magic. It's not Disney magic or stage magic, it's just a philosophy and model for reality that in my humble experience, is true.
You are describing some cult or religion.
To interact with reality you inevitable have to apply some forces to the real objects and interact with them somehow. So it is definitely a technology, measureable, researcheable and understandable.
If you do not interact with objects in universe, then it is impossible to really change anything in real world. You could only change things in your mind, nothing more.
If you are talking about a model of reality, then, it has to have some practical purpose. If it is practical, then you use it to interact with physical objects, and so it has to be measureable and researcheable. If it is just a way to keep your mind in order, then it is perfectly OK and even useful, but it just can't change anything in reality, it will be you who do it by usual means of course without any magic at all.
I see nothing bad in religions or beliefs at all, but they have nothing to do with reality. They are about choosing ways to live and do things. But you still do things using some technology, not your belief. Even if some, say, prayer from your religion definitely and proveably works, then there is some researcheable way it apply forces to the objects in universe.
Every action starts with a thought...
Yes and no. I would say every action is a result of somebody's thought, eventually, but not necessary directly. Gasoline flash in cylinder of your car started by a spark, but eventually it is because you decided to go shopping.
It sounds like you have very fixed beliefs, have not explored or questioned otherwise, and nothing I say will change that.
If you are Russian, you should look into your own governments investments in psi and remote viewing. They sure seem to believe it.
Believing in technology is the worst mistake you could make.
Psi and remote viewing was scientifically studied to find out is it real, how it works and if it could be used for practical purposes.
