Manifesting Intentions Without Resistance

Monday, November 20th, 2006

Suppose you set a positive intention, focus your energy on its manifestation for the highest good of all, see the promising alpha reflection, and then watch your results completely stagnate.  Why did your intention fail to manifest as quickly as you desired?
Whenever this happens the root cause is that you failed to become a vibrational match for your intentions.  [...]

The Consciousness Revolution

Monday, October 30th, 2006

Lately I’ve been thinking we may be on the verge of some kind of mass awakening.  It seems that more and more of us are experiencing an expansion of consciousness followed by a radical shift in our priorities.  Maybe I’m just meeting more people like this due to the nature of my work, but I strongly suspect something’s happening behind [...]

Subjective Reality Analogies

Monday, September 18th, 2006

People often ask me to prove to them subjective reality is real.  These requests stem from the desire to shoehorn subjective reality into a pre-existing objective framework, while within the framework of subjective reality itself, they make little sense because the proof only manifests as a result of the belief.  Let me offer some analogies that [...]

People and Subjective Reality

Saturday, September 16th, 2006

In a subjective reality belief system, what’s the role of other human beings?  Are they just projections?  Do they even matter?  Won’t you end up feeling all alone, believing you’re the only one who’s conscious and everyone else is fake?
Lately I’ve been getting a flood of similar questions via email, so I figured I’ll answer them here [...]

Understanding Jesus, Buddha, and Other Mystics

Wednesday, September 13th, 2006

I’ve been going back and re-reading mystical texts such as the Christian Gospels, and I’ve noticed that they make a lot more sense under the subjective model.  Even some of Hindu and Buddhist teachings I used to regard as incomprehensible now seem perfectly logical.  I suspect such teachers as Jesus and Buddha had a subjective belief system, since in [...]

Perfection

Tuesday, September 12th, 2006

Awareness isn’t empty.  It may be a container of sorts, but it’s not an empty vessel.  What does it contain?  It contains thoughts, and those thoughts manifest in physical form.  This is what we call physical reality.  Everything aside from awareness that we perceive to exist is an expression of the contents of awareness.
Since awareness holds [...]

Your True Identity: Ego or Awareness

Monday, September 11th, 2006

Perhaps the most difficult concept of subjective reality is the identity shift from ego-centeredness to awareness-centeredness.  In this post I’ll do my best to explain this shift.  Such an awareness shift, however, can be very challenging to express in words, so if parts of this article sound confusing, it’s largely the nature of the problem that makes it [...]

Creative Observation

Saturday, August 26th, 2006

A common question I get about intention-manifestation is something along these lines:  How come when I wholeheartedly intend X to happen, I still get the opposite of X?
For example…  How come when I intend wealth, I’m still poor?  How come when I intend a new relationship, I’m still alone?  How come when I intend a new career, I’m still [...]

There Is No Out There

Thursday, August 24th, 2006

A reader sent me a link to a wonderful story by Dr. Joe Vitale about a doctor who heals patients in a very unique way.  This doctor never actually sees his patients.  He heals them by healing the part of himself that created them – a real life subjective reality healer.
Here’s a short passage from the [...]

The Law of Attraction

Friday, August 18th, 2006

The Law of Attraction simply says that you attract into your life whatever you think about.  Your dominant thoughts will find a way to manifest.  But the Law of Attraction gives rise to some tough questions that don’t seem to have good answers.  I would say, however, that these problems aren’t caused by the Law of [...]
