But how then does SR have any practical application to our lives before we become enlightened? In your example, it seems like nothing.

I would contest that even at our present moment we are creating everything INCLUDING our EGO self and this perspective we're looking through. So from my perspective I ask (1) Why did I create those people doing those shootings and (2) Why did I create this Perspective/POV/Avatar named Paul experiencing this point of view?

In this way I have the 'power' of a SR perspective right now, in this moment, not in some distant future when I become "enlightened" and become "one with the universe".

That doesn't mean I live my life ONLY from a point of view of SR, but I can use the SR perspective as a tool just as Steve does.
