The blonde wavy haired skeptic (and quite the looker), Simon Baker from CBS’s hit show The Mentalist recently spoke about how he somewhat agrees with his character’s perspective on psychic powers. Baker plays Patrick Jane in the show, a celebrity psychic who comes out as a fake (not only a fake, but a fake who doesn’t believe at all in psychic powers) but still assists in solving crimes.

Baker was interview by Bill Harris of the Toronto Sun where he revealed this about belief, “I believe in belief, in the sense that, whatever works for you … The idea of believing in something is really about focusing, concentrating energy toward something in a positive way, right? Is that what believing is?” He goes onto to clarify, “I believe that you can, through committing to something in your mind and your body, it can exist for you. Do you understand what I mean?”

I don’t know Simon, do we? Well psychics …? Bloggers? Does something only exist if we believe in it?
