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.
First of all you cannot say "I mean me, Paul, the ego self combined with the spirit self". This is what I have been trying to tell in all my threads here and this is also the cause of confusion in this forum where people think SR is psychotic. I is not the body. As Dave said, you cannot think that the super consciousness is a person with thoughts.

Thinking about it from that perspective, SR becomes a very valuable tool and the whole world just becomes a learning experience.
First of all SR is not a tool, but the truth. Second, thinking that you can use SR as a valuable tool is nothing but empowering your own ego.......the opposite of enlightenement. Dont get me wrong. I dont mean to say that you should not focus on your house, car, vacation etc............I hope you get the point here . - Think about it. Arent you actually empowering your ego?

I know its hard to understand. It took me a long time to understand. May be thats why only a few are enlightened )
