Hi JJH,

I just want to apologize if the tone in my answer gave the impression I thought your question was an attack. I didn't mean it that way. Sometimes maybe I write too formally, but only in order to appear intelligent .

So, even according to what you wrote here, I can still see that if a person does as you say and transcends their ego (or even if they don't), that anything they experience will be from their own consciousness and creation, also those entities that are not in our world...I'm not able to see a discrepancy or a problem.

In the True Nature of Reality podcast, Steve Pavlina says that all things you experience and perceive are from your own consciousness and creation, period. And that this is also true for people who do not know or believe that what they experience and perceive is a creation of their own mind/consciousness. It's confusing to me to think any other way.

Btw, I'm sorry, I'm not very familiar with these concepts or phrases like "transcending the ego." I've only been aware of subjective reality and IM for a few weeks and, as bad as it sounds, I am not good at logical thinking, so I basically shut any beginnings of logical thinking out of my mind, because the outcome usually has a bad effect on me and my life. There are some things that when I hear them, I just accept them without question, and this is one of those things.
