impaul,
The degree of reflection is 100%. Most everything is a manifestation from your subconscious (what I call the unconscious). We do very little conscious creation at this time, but that's where things are changing.
In the supermarket example, yes, your subconscious created that. Try saying to yourself "I am alive in those lightbulbs". It feels weird to me, but I use that as a game to let my mind get used to the truth. I am alive in this pen, this flower, this desk, this cat....

Ah crap, I just opened up this door again. |

Dharma runs and hides.
I side with Seth (Jane Roberts) on this one. We are multiple-selves having multiple experiences. Self (the term i use for the one consciousness) creates multiple viewpoints at which to experience itself from. On this planet we have ga-zillions of people, animals, insects, plants, minerals, and objects. All these are conscious in a way and all have an experience self desires.
On edit -
It seems no matter who you are, enlightened master or fearful curmudgeon, you get a distinct physical self to express and experience from. But that might be a bunch of denial. (I don't worry about it.)
If you see the body, the world, and the universe around you, you can see how vast the unconscious self is. It's huge, endless. That's all you!
