I think subjective reality is the truth, but I don't really believe in it yet. I have not internalized the belief. I do not 'know' it as true. I think about it.

All of reality is a dream. All of reality is fiction. The real you is the dreamer, the writer of the story. SecretSeven is your fictional character. The real you is that which is aware of SecretSeven. You are not SecretSeven. That is simply the main character in the story you are writing. The ego you (erronously) identify with. The avatar you have direct control over in this game.

When we play a role-playing computer game, we often identify with the avatar we are playing. That is how computer games are made. So when you get gold, you have a feeling of greedy achievement. When a monster comes at you, you might become startled, and you want to kill it. In subjective reality, you are not that character on the screen. The whole game is within your consciousness, and it is programmed by your thoughts and beliefs, by what you hold as true in your consciousness. So, you don't see a monster coming at you. You are sitting there looking at a screen where a monster-avatar attacks a human-avatar. This all happens within the consciousness you then identify as - within you. So there's fighting within you. Ending that fighting by making one of the two fighters suffer and die does not seem like a good idea, because they are both equally you. Perhaps, in a computer game, you'd cast a pacify spell on the monster until you could reprogram monsters to stop fighting and be nice. Jesus said, "love you enemies." All would be for the purpose of there being less fighting and suffering within you.


This idea of singular subjective reality is simply this: There is only one consciousness. Everything that exists, exists within that consciousness. That consciousness creates reality with it's intentions, it's beliefs.

Have you read the three subjective reality Q&A posts by Steve? They make it easier to understand. http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/200...ve-reality-qa/
