There is a parable. Disciples decicded to test their teacher.
They approached him hiding a butterfly in semi-closed hands and asked him if the creature is dead or alive.
They agreed amongst themselves that if the teacher answers: “Dead”, the disciple will open hands and the butterfly will fly away alive, but if the teacher says “Alive” he will slightly squeeze his palms so that the butterfly will be dead…
Wise teacher answered: “Everything is in your hands…” 
So we are always able to change our reality the way we want it. If you want to create your own Reality just go for it!
Very cute!
Most definitely, I agree. Think and picture what you want and what you want to create in your life, and it will happen, but you must 100% have no doubt about it.

Yes, it is true, you must have no doubt about your wish. it is not easy, but still it is possible to learn how to do that. If you have an intention to pick up your mail from your mailbox, do you have any doubt that you will succeed?
It is the same with your life wishes.
Let’s say, one farmer desires rain for one particular crop, and his neighbour desires sunshine what would suit his crops better. As God, whose wish would you grant ?

The question is not correct actually. If every wish was granted there would be chaos in the Universe. Also it is not God who makes it true, there are universal laws that He created once to take care about everything. I would say one should have a pure, concsious and unshakeable intention in order to make it happen - just like god!
No, the question is allright, and in matters what concern human beings, there is indeed a chaos in the world. The ability of the human mind to get what he wants really exists, I don’t deny that, only that I find it to be the cause of the chaos you speak theoretically, and what actually exists in my expereince.
I agree about the pure, conscious and unshakable intention; but what is pure ? How can we know what is right or wrong ? Surley for both farmers, the well being of their own crops seems right, but that is not necessarily true. One might argue, that one of the farmers made a mistake in chosing a partciular kind of crop, less adapted to the particular weather conditions and accordingly he must suffer the consuequences.
The human mind has the ability to make reality not just what is right, but what is wrong, also. It would be injustice to not allow human beings to perform what they think to be right, even if they are wrong. That would mean that freedom does not exist at all. The freedom to err is a fundamental human right. Not erring deliberatly, because that belongs to what we call “evil”, but erring unknowingly.
Indeed, it is not the question if we can get the things we want, but wether we want the right ones ? And for that, we must know what is right.
So, the whole idea is to be careful what we wish for, and create as reality.
Yes, I agree, "The freedom to err is a fundamental human right."
And we DO have to be careful with what we wish.
You know, one of my friends on my Birthday celebration said, - I wish you you learn how to make the right wishes!
And this is indeed what we all have to learn!
I’m not sure if this relates entirely, but this morning as I commuted to school (it’s a 2.25 hour drive, an hour of which is through a national forest), a deer leaped across my lane. I was not driving fast and had plenty of time to see him bound in front of me and thus slow my car down enough to watch him get HIT BY AN ONCOMING PICKUP TRUCK. It was a grotesque sight with a blood spurt, a limb flying in one direction and the deer’s body flying over the rails onto the mountainside. The truck and I both hit a dead stop and I saw the truck drive off before I did. I did not know what to do and kept driving, thinking: Is there someone I could call? Could the deer be saved? Maybe she/he is unconscious and only needs to have its leg mended? What could I have done to stop the situation, to stop this deer’s unfortunate and disasterdly death? I can’t help but feel it is somehow my fault, that there was something I could to do alter that moment of reality…
What are thoughts on this?
Zo – it’s your compassionate heart that convinces you to reach out, beyond reason and into hope, to a fellow creature that might still be in dire need.
I believe you did everything in your reach to preserve the life of that deer.
zo manik, I think you should not blaim yourself. Please look at this situation from another side. That might be a sign for you to consider, some kind of a warning. May be you should change anything in your behaviour or in your surroundings.
Another thing is that you can work with your memories and try to live through this situation again but this time, make it with a happy end, the truck stopped and did not hit the deer which ran away happily.

But that would be creating an illusion, or lying to myself, wouldn’t it?
Is it not a wonder when you plan life not and receive many miracles!
I think the power of the love we surround ourselves has many hidden treasures that need
not the crafty crushing or uncrushing of a butterfly to unleash.
[QUOTE=zo_manik;18454]But that would be creating an illusion, or lying to myself, wouldn’t it?[/QUOTE]
Illusion takes places when you take one exisiting thing for another or a non-existent thing for exisitent.
What I suggest is not about illusion or lying to yourself. It is about your peronal choices, preferences and acceptability.
As a matter of fact there is only NOW, which is REAL, the very moment you live through, whereas “Past” and “Future” exist only in your mind, in your memories and day-dreams. This means that you can change them! You can change your future if you change your dreams about the future. And you can change your future if you change/replace your memories about the past. Of course it is not easy, in order to make it happen you should do it on your emotional peak. And it does not mean that these events will disappear from your memory, but they will be faded, they lose their brightness and colors and what is most important, your soul will eccept them and you stop blaiming yourself.

Yes, I agree, and this may work for you but all people are different. Some people do need this kind of demostration in order to understand something.
There is an infinite manifold of life manifistations…

Very interesting. John Lennon certainly had a way with words and good intentions but I’m not sure if he was ‘Imagining’ only. He’s still my hero, and I look up to him even with his faults.

Thank you, Albert!
John Lennon is my hero too!
Imagine no possessions . . .
Imagine all the people/living in harmony.
Also imagine one or two of those people choosing differently. Lennon’s song isn’t an image of the mess of human freedoms coming into conflict on occasion (which, by the way, is a very good thing), but an image of lemmings who happen to run into an open field rather than over a cliff.

Ok, what about chaging your reality in your own image as it is suggested in my article?
