Many of us today have been exposed to the concept that we all create our own
reality. It is our own human consciousness that directs and creates every life
experience we have, in the same way that the software on a personal computer
directs and creates every program that we run on the computer. Our spiritual
teachers (including Jesus Christ and Buddha) have been trying to tell us this
throughout history, and there are many wonderful books and movies that

subconscious mind or how it works, it seems to us that we are helpless victims
living in a cold, cruel world where external powers (other people, the weather,
governments, big companies, etc.) control us. Hence, it seems that bad things –
