Whenever I read books or articles I always try to think along the lines of "How does this relate to my life RIGHT NOW, in this moment." not at some future distant point in time when I am "enlightened".
When I read Steve's SR articles I looked at how they relate to my life RIGHT NOW, and they are actually very practical. For them to be practical, however, I think from the point of view that I create everything in my life. When I say *I* in that sentence, I mean me, Paul, the ego self combined with the spirit self. That means that I created Steve, this place, everything around me, my body, my house, my car, my dog, my computer, the Internet, war, peace, sickness, mad cow disease, Microsoft, Google, etc.
Keep in mind, that I don't know how Google works for example, but I don't need to know how it works, it just does. It's the same way that a child can have a dream, and in that dream there are cars driving around, and they accelerate and decelerate inside the child's dream, even if the child has never seen the inside of an engine compartment and doesn't understand the combustion engine. To a child, cars just work. To me, Google just works. Etc.
Thinking about it from that perspective, SR becomes a very valuable tool and the whole world just becomes a learning experience.
