From my perspective, the reason people have such a hard time accepting the idea of subjective reality is because of mixed definitions. 75% of the time, words are the culprit barring the way to a clear understanding. So without further adieu, I will try to clearly express what subjective reality means and why people aren't sure whether the world is subjective or objective:

Subjective reality does not necessarily mean that there is no world 'out there', it just means that you are not separate from the world you perceive. In other words, the observer is not separate from the observed. Your consciousness is not an artifact of neurology doomed to cease existence when your physical "hardware" shuts down. Your consciousness is not a part of your body -- in fact, it is the other way around. It is your body that is a part of your consciousness. Body-centrics need not apply here. You are not confined to your body. Location is one of the biggest illusions of all time. If you are not separate from the world you see and experience, it means you are one with it. Therefore, all boundaries are illusions. The most distant quasar in the Universe is as near to "you" as your own heart. Your personal human ego, the part of you that you currently perceive and believe yourself to be in this lifetime is what is stopping you from perceiving your coextensiveness with reality.

The ego is the demarcation between where you are and who you are. It is a barrier, and thus ultimately, another illusion. It exists for a reason though, as does everything else. It is difficult to explain the reason why it exists, because it is something that has to perceived by each individual to truly 'get it'. But suffice it to say, all probabilities have always existed and your "spiritual journey to enlightenment" is simply the thoughtform of consciousness experiencing growth through self imposed limitation (if that makes any sense to you).

So to put it in perspective: while you are not consciously aware of the barrage of infinite data that you have access to, you are still constantly reacting to it based on your belief structure. Hence, if you believe you are unlucky, you will unconsciously manifest the fulfillment of that belief. Or if you believe you are allergic to some special substance, you will manifest a corresponding reaction. Make no mistake, you are constantly tapping into omniscience. Unfortunately, that omniscience is warped by your ego identity which leads to a whole bunch of belief structures which are false and arbitrary limitations imposed on reality.

Part of the reason people are so confused with Steve when he talks about subjective reality is because he is turning away from identifying with his physical ego consciousness. If you identify with the One Consciousness, of course everybody but you is an illusion, because our "personalities" are the result of various limitations imposed on our consciousness. All boundaries are temporary illusions, remember that. If you truly did manage to transcend your ego structure (no easy feat), you would be "All That Is" consciously.

The more you let go of your "defined self" the more powerful you will become psychically speaking. If you were to completely shed the barrier of your autonomy or ego, you would be able to will things into existence by the sheer election of them. You'd be back in god mode basically. However, at the same time you would have absolutely no desire to use that power. That's not to say miracles don't happen, or that people don't develop strange powers or abilities on their path towards realization, but it is the ego in you that holds any desire for that kind of power, and despite what many think, when you reach such a state of mind, you realize there was nothing wrong with the world all along, just your limited interpretation of it.

So in summation, you are creating every aspect of reality, but it is not necessarily your physical ego mind that is doing all the "heavy lifting" so to speak. It definitely plays it's part, but ultimately the only thing you really need to know is the power of your own focussed intent and belief. You can learn anything and be anything if you use those two precious tools. Anything is literally possible. You are only limited to the extent you believe you are, through ignorance or through false conceptualizations. And that is the heart of subjective reality in my opinion.
