Deep immersion in creative work triggers your body to upregulate thousands of genes and metabolites, tricking it into treating your imagined future as real. Since your body can't tell the difference between emotions from actual events and those you create through thought, it starts accepting the imagined life as present reality, which the speaker claims attracts sudden opportunities and coincidences.

Our data shows that at a week long event when people really get in the creative process, they up regulate thousands of genes and metabolites to suggest that they're living in a whole new life. The body's so objective it doesn't know the difference between a real life experience that creates the emotion and the emotion that we can create by thought alone. So the body begins to believe it's living in that future. This is when the opportunities, coincidences, all of a sudden you no longer have to go anywhere and do anything to get it. Somehow there's an attraction, you know that they're coming to you.
