I don't believe the "whatever you honestly believe is real will be" school of thought, simply because the universe keeps surprising me. A year or so back, I wouldn't have believed in something like Steve's site - yet I still stumbled across it.

I do believe in the concept of Reality Tunnels however. ie. The idea that we can never experience true reality ; that we can only experience reality as filtered through our physical senses and mental perceptions, and that therefore by changing our mental model we can change our experience of reality.
