I would say, very few of us can make our own reality for more than a few stolen hours a day. Some are born into whatever reality they choose. On my best days I can pretend I am in control of my reality, finding Dark Matter. I wrote a story Dark Matter Zombies where I considered I am Dark Matter ha. From your comments here I would say you have a better grasp of your reality then most of us : )
I love your ideas. And thanks for the compliment, but me too, I can only really do it when I’m in a certain space. I’ve seen people born into awful circumstances who made their reality better by believing they could. Most of them are from Viet Nam in the ‘60’s who practice a deep Buddhism—I wish I were as accomplished as they are. But one element they gave me in my search is that creating my own reality isn’t about gaining control of reality, it’s actually more about letting go of the illusion of control. That’s the probably the hardest part for me. Like that scene in some block buster movie where the guy has to step out into the abyss to make the stepping stone appear beneath his feet! Gawd!
