something that exists independently of ideas concerning it.

StAnselm, how do you know that anything exists separately from your consciousness of its existence?
If you have an idea (consciousness) of its existence, then that thing is not separate from your consciousness of its existence.
And if you don't have an idea (consciousness) of its existence, how can you be so sure of (conscious) of its existence? The sureness itself is consciousness.

You can't say your thoughts create reality.

Sure I can! Maybe you mean: "you can't say your thoughts create reality, AND I believe that." or "you can't say your thoughts create reality, and I accept that's that statement is logical."
