Actually, you are creating the universe moment-to-moment, but it’s not the “you” that you think. According to the great contemplative traditions, every person has at least two “selves”: the finite, temporal, egoic self-sense, and the infinite, transcendental, unqualifiable Self, or I-AMness....

Here's a simple way to experience this.
Watch a thought when it comes to you. Then notice,
where did this thought come from?
Watch a thought when it disappears. Then notice,
where did it go?
You'll see that it comes and goes from your "infiniteness" (for lack of a better word.)
So thats what you are. You are this "background" that continually keeps thinking thoughts. And you can choose any thoughts you want.
Now to say that there are "two selves" is incorrect. There is just you, aware of your infinite background, choosing
any thoughts you want.
When one is saying there are "two selves", this is coming from
not seeing what you are.

The Secret teaches that your separate self has the power to personally manifest a new car, win the lottery, or cure cancer… and this simply isn’t how things work.

Wrong.
This is exactly how thing things work, due to what I said above.
