Many of us know, or at least believe, that we are powerful creators of our own reality and destiny.

Some of us go with the flow, weaving this divine knowledge intuitively into our daily existence, while others prefer to focus on it consciously, in an attempt to shape their lives more proactively.

Whatever your approach is, have you ever considered that while you are busy creating your own reality, you may also be busy creating someone else’s version of it? Have you ever considered that many of us may be shaping a future planned for us, by others?

There has been much debate and speculation in recent years about what ‘reality’ truly is. Many people, who are spiritually aware, need no convincing of these facts, but the jury is still out among the scientific community.

There are, however, scientists, academics and theorists who agree that reality is merely an illusion, a hologram of consciousness created by our collective projection of it. From this perspective, life and the world as we know it, is merely a 3-D movie, which all of us collectively produce, direct and star in, on a daily basis.

These modern theories about reality, and conscious creation, are partly based on concepts arising from science, such as the ‘measurement problem’ found in quantum physics. The measurement dilemma refers to an unusual phenomenon that has baffled experts. It was found that before matter manifests, it exists in many possible ways or places.

Matter does not exist in a specific state, or appear in a specific place, until it has been focused upon by measuring it. Only when a particle’s behavior has been measured by a scientist focusing on it, can its actual state or future manifestation be predicted.

This confirms the belief that our thoughts, words and feelings create our reality. It also gave rise to concepts like the reality tunnel, popularized by Timothy Leary and Robert Anton Wilson.

The reality tunnel theory states that we each create and perceive reality in our own unique and subjective way, based on our belief system, social conditioning, cultural background and personal experiences. The world you live in is your individual interpretation of reality, via your senses, shaped by your personal beliefs and experience ‘filters’.

Experts will also tell you that according to quantum physics theory, objects do not exist at all. Nothing is real. What we perceive as other people, animals and things are merely vibrations or frequencies of energy.
