שלום וברכה!

[ניסן, תש"כ]

במש"כ ע"ד פעולת מח' וגם מרחוק - עיין לקו"ד שמע"צ תרצ"ג. ובנוגע לאנשים קרובים יש לזה מקום גם להבדיל במדע.

מענה לשאלה מיום ה' ג' ניסן: אם יש יסוד - בספרי קודש, או מחקר ומדע, להבדיל - לזה, שמחשבת אדם תפעול על מחשבת זולתו, ובפרט אם המה אוהבים וידידים הקרובים ברוח זל"ז, כי בחוש ראיתי כמה פעמים הזדמנויות כאלו.

Shalom u'Vrachah! [Nisan, 5720]

Regarding what you wrote about the effect of the department's work, and also from afar—see Likkutei Dibburim Shemini Atzeres 5693. And concerning people who are close, there is room for this even—distinguished—in science.

In response to the question from Thursday, the 3rd of Nisan: Is there a basis—in holy books or in research and science, to distinguish—for this: that a person's thought can affect another's thought, especially if they are loving and close friends in spirit to each other? For I have personally observed such occurrences several times.


Summary

The Rebbe writes that both Torah sources and scientific research recognize the influence one person's thoughts can have on another, especially among those who share a close spiritual bond. This underscores the profound connection between individuals beyond physical proximity.
