I do think we influence reality but not to the degree the "What The Bleep" trend would have you believe.

Dovetailing this to the UFO phenomenon; I think its a convenient way of ignoring the hard ground facts of what the ET experience actually "is". Turning the subject into a vague, philosophical and deeply inward exploration of ourselves rather than accepting a simple truth; We are not alone and they've been watching us for a very long time.

Perhaps continuing the debate about what UFO's represent is really about comforting the soul or repressing a deeper xenophobic fear.

Food for thought.

Is it just a different reality tunnel that enabled the Nazis to kill 6 million Jews. Was Hitler's reality tunnel as valid as mine?
We cannot justify injustices by simply saying that someone comes from a different point of view.
