"So if we are creating our own reality...
and this happens everywhere you go... "

lol, i see that you are implying that being kicked out is somehow my fault. this is the typical new age group think that i encounter everywhere these days. in a way you are right, if telling the truth and challenging belief systems results in these consequential reactions, then i take full responsibility for my actions and embrace them whole-heartedly. yet, this mantra that many of the new agers love to repeat is just a half-truth, there is an extent to the individuals creation of their own reality, but most of you ignore the other side, the external influences and realities that effect your own perception of reality. this theory does not work all the time, only alot of the time, and in some situations not at all. this belief is a fallacy.

In order to truly create your own reality, you must first "know thyself" :

"The issues the world faces, the misery, destruction, greed, genocide, economic meltdown, etc... can not and won't be resolved until man faces himself, looks at himself and gains TRUE Self Knowledge. If he discovers access to Knowledge within him, he will know what to do at any given moment in alignment with his true Self and hence Creation. He gains true Free Will.

The necessity for self-work and confronting oneself needs to come from oneself. The urge to seek truth in oneself and the world and act upon it has to come from oneself. No one can do it for another and no one can push another to do it, until he/she himself/herself realizes the precious times we live in, acts upon it and starts to work on him/herself. Because only if man knows himself truly is he able to "do". Before that he's just like a blind man walking in a porcelain store. There is no free will as long as man acts from his conditioned personlity.

Looking at the world right now, we have billions of people lost in a porcelain store. People who do not know themselves will build and are building a prison for themselves, a prison without bars, cherishing their "leaders" as "saviors" like in a global Stockholm Syndrome, worshiping/defending the ones who keep them imprisoned. They become tools for the matrix, thinking that they are "free" and "doing", but they are merely reacting to external influences (planetary, social, cultural) and accumulated conditioning over life time(s). No one is exempt from that and the ones shouting the loudest how "awake", "spiritual" and "aware" they are, are in many ways more deluded than they are capable of admitting to themselves. "


to acquiesce to these new age beliefs is to believe that the iraqi children, for example, being raped and murdered is all their fault, that they created that reality or had some BS "karma" coming(and while we are at it, what about the rest of the worlds children and animals being brutally murdered just to appease someones sick mind.) this is all just an excuse for the cowardly to do nothing when faced with such a situation that requires action in order to help stop the reality of another innocent being hurt, to stop an impending tragedy right action is necessary and inaction then becomes the greatest cause of tragedy. by failing to act, you have hurt yourself, for if humanity is to survive, then helping out another would be very advantageous to your own survival, just like the body, if the organs were all separated and divided between beliefs and structures and prejudices, then the body would have little or no chance at all at fighting off malevolent intruders such as a virus or cancer. same goes for the whole of humanity, if you are not willing to risk your own hide to help another, then your own destruction you will have created.

Why You Don't Create Your Own Reality -
an antidote to fatuous New Age paradigms :

Excerpt :

A paradigm that is currently running amok through the New Age community, and which is depriving them of their last bit of common sense, is better known as "You Create Your Own Reality" (short: YCYOR). This insidious half-truth is usually placed into a very misleading context and is never completely true.

Let us just look at some basic facts that we can derive if YCYOR would be completely true:

1.) Every war victim, or rape victim, etc. must have wanted to draw whatever misfortune upon itself, since that victim "created his own reality".

Common sense tells us here, that this is nonsense, and that not all war victims, etc. ever wanted to happen that war to them. For me, common sense simply wins, and cuts a long discussion short.

2.) We would live in a solipsistic universe wherein we could do whatever we wanted without further consequences.

But pretty much obviously, we do not live in such an utopian universe, and no, even on higher densities, there is no such universe.

To the innumerable "me too" channel sources and their accommodating mounts, who've been espousing and promoting the bumptious New Age dogma "you create your own reality". Let's get this straight. Extra-mundane source or no extra-mundane source, the sensibilities of all the rest of mankind aren't deceiving them: you do not "create your own reality".

"Oh, what a spoilsport!" we can just hear the chorus. Why not let those who want to, abide peacefully in the solipsism of their spook-sanctioned presumption that -- despite the alleged interconnectedness of everything -- the common ego-view of personal hermetic insularity is valid after all, and "I" can indeed conjure a positive-think Paradise to "preserve me eternal" in the midst of everyone else's self-created, hallucinatory world-disaster.

What makes the YCYOR evangelist fatuous (rather than a demonstrable God of the most egregious solipsism) is precisely the fact that all such "personal decreeing", "positive thinking" and confident imagining takes place in an inevitable context. There are implications! There are repercussions! No one decrees in a personal or private, solipsistic vacuum. There is a variegated World of myriad "pulls" and "claims" coexisting along with the private desires and designs of the given ego-subject.

But "so what?" we hear the die-hard "reality-creator" claim—"don't we remain untouched by those 'co-existents' as long as we keep secure in the confidence of our own private deservedness, our own authoritative affirmations and specific commissions of positive thought-re-inforcement?"
