Actually, you'd be surprised what you could do by staring into a candle flame under the right circumstances.

Now it would stand to reason under this logic, that those who can control their thoughts, can control their brain, and thus control their body to the same degree as their thoughts.

But it still has the ability to influence, does it not?
Correct.
I know a person who is blind, she goes to Church. Within this Church everybody prayed for her and what do you know? She's actually gained some of her sight back, not much but a little which is pretty good. This happened overtime though. I can't quite remember what she told me but that's what she said but yes, I do believe our thoughts can influence reality. I believe in the Law of Attraction.

That sounds interesting. Do you have more of that stuff?

It's just a coincidence, the inference from what you're saying is that the people just didn't pray hard enough - if only they'd wished a bit more maybe she could have seen more.
Bunkum.
Theosophy
In the teachings of Theosophy, Devas are regarded as living either in the atmospheres of the planets of the solar system (Planetary Angels) or inside the Sun (Solar Angels) (presumably other planetary systems and stars have their own angels) and they help to guide the operation of the processes of nature such as the process of evolution and the growth of plants; their appearance is reputedly like colored flames about the size of a human.

It IS bloody true! the first tenant of quantum mechanics is that atoms are not things, but tendancies!
There is NOTHING solid about matter. it is indeed much more like a thought than it is a thing. Particles respond to observation, nuclei of atoms exist in multitudes of places, and snap in place when observed...
Things are made of electrical impulses... Exactly as are thoughts. The world of "things" is illusory... reality is but possible waves of consciousness. Youre on this site enough... You should know this!

This is not true at all. Objects wouldn't exist if it wasn't for conciousness and us perceiving it as an solid matter object.
Things do exist even if you're unconscious of it, you just don't know about it yet.

Is quantum mechanics telling us that the things (particles?) we aren't aware of remain in the so called superposition which includes being in all possible realities a little bit?

Run into an illusory wall with your illusory self and see what happens. Also, record it for hilarity's sake. If you don't yet understand the concept of solidity, you will.
Next, take your thought and move something with it. Record it for proof.
After that, think of a rock in your mind, and then extract that rock for all to see. Prove that things are thought so we can set this all to rest.
Lastly, do you exist on the sub-atomic scale? Are you a photon? An electron? Should we attempt to shoot you through a double slit to prove that you are merely waves of possibility? What kind of interference pattern will you leave on the wall?
In this blistering environment, atoms and particles melt into basic building blocks of matter called quarks and gluons. Together, they form a dense, gooey liquid known as quark-gluon plasma, or “quark soup,” which scientists believe was present fractions of seconds after the Big Bang.

According to the CERN's latest experiment.....
