Altering The World, by sheer mind-power Options

I just wanted to open up a discussion on this topic. It recently struck me that if we can create/destroy so easily on the astral plane then we should be able to do the same thing here, and with the same tools; your mind. I've been on a philosophy book binge lately and my elementary thought processes brought me to the conclusion that if life could simply be an illusion in our brains, if we view it as such then we can lucid dream in the real world. I put this in here because I wasn't sure what forum to put it in and I wanted to see if people thought it would be possible to make the world into a dream that you can alter at will. Opinions?

When we first learn to conciously adventure forth into the Astral/Mental realms we find that we tend to anthropomorphize ourselves into this new medium. Until you 'powers' of concentration improve, this image has a remarkable tendency to 'unravel' when we lose attention on it. You can actually watch your hands/feet vanish! You aren't really losing them but your mind is off thinking about something else... As I stated earlier, the Astral is relatively plastic...it assumes the shapes impressed upon it.

I've learned how to make continuous constructs - my house has a haunting which, due to my projective empathy in no small part I should think, has violent spikes and attacks me. Therefore, I learned how to shield myself from it. Now obviously, since I, as a massively overscheduled teenager, have to do work for clubs, school, my band and my personal interests, cannot constantly focus on shielding myself, I had to learn methods of keeping it running for days at a time until I get time to focus on it and buff it back up. I'm pretty easily able to keep things going without focusing on them.

This is not special. The idea of somebody being more powerful is akin to the notion that an individual who is heavier than another is stronger than another. That said some people are able to get what they want better and eighty percent of the time they use what modern man calls tact. For me İ have grown to minimize the usage of constructs and other crowd control methods simply because its using a cannon to kill a dıllemna of a problem. Frankly İ feel that people should learn to cope with their lıves before actually attemptıng to blindly change variables that we are incapable of handlıng because of our mortal limıts.

I don't understand at all where this post came from, it wasn't really relevant at all to my post or anyone else's... That aside, I do believe it's possible to be "better" at changing things than someone else. If you consider all possible avenues of action and select the one that's most likely to get you where you want, one way or another. It's not a matter of inherent supremacy, it's just a matter of trial and error, practice and testing. I know you in real life, and despite how friendly you are you have to admit you manipulate people and screw with their heads for kicks sometimes. I mean no offense, I'm just telling an honest truth that many people we know would agree with. Some of us have a singular talent for manipulation of people and the world, whether you're born with it or you learn it. Also, I don't understand the "cannon to kill a dilemma of a problem," thing. What is this? Also, I would ask you to avoid speaking for other people - it bothers me, and I'm sure other people. "Mortal limits" do not exist to me - that is they exist, but you don't have to be bound by them.

This post seems more focused around "the butterfly effect" than what I was really talking about.
