The reality we make is CO-created, not self created.
In that sense he is correct but only if you view it that way and not in a stupid quasi religious way.
For example; Money is a co-created reality and everything attached to it. It does not exist in an actual real world sense, yet we cannot get rid of it because we all have such strong faith in it. We can only evolve past it along with other religious beliefs, cultural mindsets, politics etc etc.
You cannot individually 'wish' the world away though, such stuff is reserved for quasi new age spiritual horseshit.

Icke has a problem. He cherry picks stuff from everywhere, never really exploring the subjects he picks from.
He then throws all those bits together into a package, using the odd pyshedelic experience as a cornerstone. Not being eloquent he then waffles on and on, skirting around 'truths' and never really getting the point across. He leaves himself open to misinterpretation. He misrepresents 'truths'. Consequently he devalues the 'truths' in his compilations. Whether he is co-opted or not, he ends up doing good work for tptb as a result.

Correct, it is indeed blame the victim mentality and this is typical of authoritarians.

I came to realise that Icke must have a lot of his *research* given to him. I made a point of reading most of the books he references in the biggest secret, and how he came to the reptile notion is just beyond belief, quite often just taking one line or sentence from a book and completely failing to deliver the counter arguments that were contained therein.
He's a snake oil salesman, and he knows it.
But now I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma,
a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.
The maxim, "we create our own reality" is a good example of what I am saying about Icke.
Our attitudes, emotions and state of mind all affect our experience of life. Our choices are affected, the way others interact with us likewise.
What we put out DOES affect what we get back. If we are clear and calm we can roll with life easily. If we are clear and calm about what we need, we can make it a reality.
However, for Icke to take it to the level he does is as humanspirit says, offensive. HS is right to say that those oppressed by the system can't just wish it all away. If they could, Gaza would be a very different place...

You can create your own perception of Reality, or misperception, you can also allow someone else to make one up for you, which I suspect is the whole point of this stuff.
Where the mind goes the body follows, and the meatpuppet holds the cash, among other things. (dat ass)
You can create things in Reality of course, I remember listening to a Ritual Magician interviewed who viewed "Magick" as a purely Psychological exercise with the Ritual aspect setting the Psychology or Intent of the practitioner, he pointed out that the "Magick" was irrelevant if action was not taken in Reality. This New Age Quantum Mysticism removes the necessary "action" element.
John Taylor Gatto has an excellent interview series I'll link up where he shows the history of this back as far as Plato, with a key recent figure being Immanuel Kant, Kant Ironically was a major influence on Hegel(problem reaction solution anyone? ) ( who was a major influence on Marx).
"Kant proposed a "Copernican Revolution-in-reverse", saying that:
Up to now it has been assumed that all our cognition must conform to the objects; but ... let us once try whether we do not get farther with the problems of metaphysics by assuming that the objects must conform to our cognition.[4]" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immanuel_Kant
Gnosticmedia also has an excellent set of interviews on this, particularly focusing on the Anti Copernican Revolution and Quantum Mysticism.
If anyone is interested in the roots of this I think you will find the following links very informative.
The above is 5+ hrs long, I'd recommend to listen to the commentary swell , which is another 10 hrs or so, by far the most educational media I have ever come across.
The 15hrs are here in audio format, from episode 41 on. peacerevolution.podomatic.com/ (seems to be a problem with the main site right now) schoolsucks.podomatic.com/
Schoolsucksproject covers the topics in "The American Way " series and "Logic Saves Lives" if I remember correctly, a search for Kant would turn up a lot of results and point you in the right direction. schoolsucksproject.com/
