Yeah I think Steve is close with subjective reality, but the fundamental flaw is that one is not the mind-body construct so the one thing that is conscious is the impersonal consciousness.
The way I understand it as of right now is:
One is ultimately a complete state of subjectivity or unmanifested that is unaware of itself. Impersonal consciousness is a reflection of the ultimate state, and it is focalized at different points which creates conscious beings.
I'm not sure if this is right, but using this explanation, if one is identified with the mind-body then of course every one else is conscious. If, on the other hand, one is enlightened and has identified with the impersonal consciousness, obviously there is not "seperate" consciousnesses.
Everyone has control over reality, because of course we are all consciousness, so this may be why intention-manifestation works.
