You're confusing apples with oranges here. Steve's comment was made from a point of view centered on the ego, while you're comparing it with the notion of being centered on Source.
You have a basic misunderstanding of subjective reality right there. Steve never said that everything is created and exists within our physical mind. Everything exists and is created within a much higher-level container that is awareness. I personally refer to that one single awareness as Source, and I see all of us as part of it.
In practice, I find myself more than free to alternate between being centered in the ego, and being centered on Source. It may appear that I contradict myself at times, but I am in fact speaking from different vantage points. One is ego-centered, and one is awareness-centered.
