I understand where (now shortened to) NPM is coming from..
We absolutely can steer our realities in any direction that we want, by following our intuition and choosing wisely. I don't believe in right or wrong decisions as whatever we are choosing will help us grow. You could steer yourself into horrible situations, I have done many times. However, I have always learnt from them and they have fared me well in the end.
I would agree with the point about "we". I would say that everyone has a choice of what to believe and I am certainly not going to push anyone or say that I am "right". From my point of view though... I love to see the world from a loving, kind, beautiful perspective :)
