Unobserved (objective) reality exists as a probabilistic wave function.
subjective observation breaks down the wave function in to particular matter

Good question. Is it ok if I believe in both? Can I believe in my own preordained destiny and my ability to shape my own future at the same time?
On the one hand I have experimented with the law of attraction, to varying degrees of success, However I don't discount the possibility that the path I walk is one set long before I started it.
Thanks OP, you've really given me something to think about here. S+F for you

I believe that everything on earth already exists as an objective - meaning they are what they are and can not be argued
And everything in my own reality was brought forth through my perception - direct and peripherally (spelling) and emotional constructs. All of these items represent my subjective reality to their objective existence.

There is a range of possibilities as to that which has not happened to you.
Once you experience an event, the probabilities narrow into one of those probabilities, in the "now"
"Destiny" is more like a tree than a linear path.

Everything we can experience through our senses is made up of parts, and its existence is dependent on external conditions. Everything is in constant flux, and so conditions and the thing itself are constantly changing. Things are constantly coming into being, and ceasing to be. Since nothing lasts, there is no inherent or fixed nature to any object or experience.
