I'll take exception to perception creating reality. Perception defines our understanding of reality.
We know particles (pebbles etc.). We know waves (through the pebble in the water). When we do things with light, we see it behaves in a manner we can describe the same way as we describe waves, and in other interactions we can describe it's behaviour using our understanding of particles. The dual nature of our descriptions of light doesn't mean light changes. It just means we that's our best current description of light. If our understanding (a new model) arises then the duality may disappear.
Science doesn't have all the knowledge of the world. It has an ever improving one. Luckily for scientist, trying to understand the universe isn't going to be achieved anytime soon (professional security).
In science there's a principle called "Ockham's razor", which says the simplest (fewest assumptions) explanation for an observed event is most likely to be the correct one.
Well I have made some observations that I can't simply explain, without assuming something like qi exists and operates as Master Lin describes. Yes it goes beyond my training. Yes, I check into other explanations. I read about NLP, Hypnosis (self and otherwise), how the brain and mind work, ESP, spiritual and energy systems. I look for the common elements and the differences for my personal understanding, to explain my observations, and for practical assistance in making choices in my life.
Ooops, I've started rambling.
You are perfection.
