I'd really like to try it out, because it sounds awesome to say the least (overcoming fears!). I've been reading Steve's posts again and again, and most of the threads here associated with it, but still finding it quite difficult to comprehend. Most questions I come up against, i've now realised, are when I look at it from an objective perspective. But still I find it difficult, like my mind is really set on objectivity, and shifts to it by default. And i'm quite skeptical of the whole thing, too - i've got lotsa questions

So to all of you out there who are well into the whole perspective, how did you end up doing it? Is there a certain order you took, like breaking objective reality beliefs first? If so, how did you do that? I haven't really experimented with IM/LOA much at all (although i found $10 on the ground a few days after intending $3mil, lol). Would experimenting with that help out? Can you believe in subjective reality and not be experienced with IM/LOA?

So far i've just been feeling kinda weird/crazy trying to really "feel" it. I also get caught up in being solipsismic/egoic (imagining you're all hallucinations from my brain). Basically i don't exactly feel like i'm progressing, just going around in circles, and really kind of forcing/deluding myself - which doesn't feel right. The closest i've felt is a nice peaceful feeling for about 20 seconds or so, but my thoughts then set in and ruin the moment. Or the phone rings, etc.

Would love some advice!
