I believe this statement to be, not only true, but extremely precise.
This is why STS gloms onto the "You Create Your Own Reality" scheme as a primary way to convert STO to STS. Since "I am the Creator" whatever I say goes, even if it flies in the face of the greater reality of which I am just a small part. This is because the whole of the universe lives inside me, and I AM ALL THERE IS.
STO recognizes that "YCYOR" is limited to personal reality, not universal reality. This is because STO discerns that, even though technically speaking it is, in fact, ALL THERE IS, the primary expression of that grand cosmic truth in this reality, is expressed as group consensus.
Thus, we have free reign to choose whatever sort of experience of ourselves we would like to have. However, we can't by an act of personal will change an apple into a banana. That type of ability is not expressed at this level of being. That it is supposedly the "DIVINE BIRTHRIGHT" of the seeker to express otherwise miraculous powers within 3D is exactly the focus of the STS path.
