I think at this stage our thoughts have an impact on cohesive reality, but for the most part, not that great of an impact. Most of us aren't consciously aware enough to focus and maintain thought in the way I would see as being able to bring about such dramatic results. A great deal of seekers are learning to focus their will on a particular desired outcome and seeing the results from it, but when it comes to passing, everyday thoughts, I think for the most part there just isn't enough focus and clarity for them to have a massive impact.
Of course, if you find yourself following a constant train of thought a great deal of the time, even if it isn't a conscious consistency, this could probably be more impactful. If you are consistently pessimistic, you will draw negative things to you because the negative is all that you focus on. Likewise, a person that strives to have a pure mind that radiates love will likely find more and more opportunities to love and be loved coming into their lives. Therefore you have the opportunity to spready negativity or love based on your thoughts. This is something I struggle with daily...I've always been very high strung and worrisome.
Like I said, I think fleeting, private thoughts could still have SOME impact on our reality, just nothing to get paranoid over. If you get irked at someone and have the passing thought of punching them in the face, I don't think it's the end of the world, nor do I think their face will suddenly be bruised.
Of course, this is all my own opinion, which may or may not have any wisdom to it. Use at your discretion.
