There is a part of me that thinks SR could be the real deal, but I don't think I want to ge there. Being God-like would make it real dull real fast. Where is the enjoyment of instantly manifesting everything.

Honestly, are you really worried about achieving godhood in your life-time?
Relax, it's not gonna happen.

that present moment awareness and what I can do with that is where the power lies, that's inspiring.

totally agree with you on this one. I also don't see things eye to eye with Steve on his version of subjective reality, but I have to admit it does sound incredibly empowering.
Right now I'm sort of sitting on the fence between objectivity and subjectivity.
I do believe that we are all interconnected (perhaps infinitely, who can say?) and can therefore achieve some pretty miraculous feats (just read Michael Talbot's "The Holographic Universe" for some mind-blowing examples).
But I don't agree, or don't want to agree, with Steve's idea that life is like a simulation. This description makes it sound too trivial or devoid of meaning.
My stance at the moment is that, following that subjective reality is essentially true, other people are merely different aspects of one universal consciousness, just as you are. Like cells in a body, we are all separate yet inherently connected in a way.
Can't say for sure, but I think that this is more or less the idea that Steve was getting at in his podcasts. It would also help explain why we aren't godlike and can't manifest our intentions instantly. When I first listened to them, most of what he said blew right over my head. I couldn't figure out how we could be the only conscious person, and everyone else is just a projection of our own consciousness. But when I looked at it from the viewpoint of there being a
universal consciousness, one which I personally am only tapped into a limited portion of, as is everyone else, it made a whole lot more sense to me logically. Well anyway, that's my two cents worth on that.
