"You create your reality"

[anagogy]

However, your assumption that 'everyone presumably can appreciate more adept understandings' seems kind of unfounded and based on a desire to have a community that is working with that level, rather than it actually being the case here.

That's actually not what I said. I said 'this forum'. I wasn't saying 'everyone' can appreciate more adept understandings, I was merely saying that I think this forum comprises a higher percentage of individuals who are conscious enough to appreciate them. It is perfectly fine if people don't want those understandings. Nobody is obligated to work with any concept they aren't ready for.

And sorry if you thought calling it 'semantics' was to marginalize what you are saying. What I mean by semantics is that everybody will relate to the idea of creating your own reality slightly differently and no conceptualization is likely superior to any other (though they may be subjectively superior depending on your present needs).
