Steve's standard I-M formula

[Frans]

As far as I understand Steve's opinion about subjective reality and intention-manifestation, I-M makes only sense if you believe in subjective reality (this would exclude the existence of opposite or conflicting intentions several people might have).

Steve's standard I-M formula goes like this:

In an easy and relaxed manner, in a healthy and positive way, for the highest good of all, in its own perfect time, I intend to ...

Why including "for the highest good of ALL", when in his subjective reality model there exists only one person?

There are lots of people in SR, but only one energy being (god/consciousness) but TL is right, to say 'for the good of all' implies fear or not a belief in SR.

In fact if you subscriber to SR there is no LoA or IM, they are labels for attainment within the OR belief system and I do not believe you can subscribe to both SR and OR.

The All that exists in Steve's world is a subjective decision to view the world as containing other beings. Within subjective reality, you can adopt a viewpoint that there are other beings regardless of whether there are or not. By recognizing other people as having feelings/desires and so forth and supporting them, you are recognizing yourself and allowing your own desires to manifest.

Since Steve's life focus is on service, he has a calling to bring about positive change in the world around him. Devoting his intentions to that calling both assists in that goal and aligns his intention with the core of his being, which gives him better access to creating energy. Steve said something along the lines of "you'll manifest your heartfelt desires". I have found this to be true...the things I wasn't really sure I wanted don't show up nearly as often as that which I know I want.

That said, I don't do my intentions with that phrase.

[torilink]

It is on the same par as saying pretty please with sugar on top. That specific wording sounds like asking a higher entity, or begging an outside force.

If we trust our own manifestation power, regardless of if we endow the people in our reality with feelings/desires or not, it is unecessary to go through that rigamorole.

When we fear we could create something that isn't "Good" or isn't "Positive" then we feel a compelling need to add all of these qualifiers to the intention/desire.

That phrasing is from Marc Allen. In subjective reality, the "highest good of all" means whatever you intend it to mean.

Kind of like adding, "....or something better!" It's allowing for the rather enormous possibility that there's something I don't know I don't know about what I'm requesting. That's not fear; it's trust.

[Max Power]

The SR mindset doesn't require a 'for the good of all' tag onto intentions, that is for a human ego fearing that it won't get what it desires unless it throughs that line in. It's like saying........."I want a million dollars, as long as that's okay with everyone"

There is no everyone, never has been, never will be.

It's fine to desire stuff and make sure it works out well for everyone else, but it's pointless and unecessary, if you subscribe to SR, it's a requirement for the ego part of the believer, but it just undermines the choice to believe in SR. Also, people don't exist outside of awareness in SR, so the SR believer only serves itself and it's immediate creations.

That's why in SR 150,000 dying everyday is completely irrelevant, unless some or all of those people are in awareness. That's why you only care about the people who die in your awareness, because the rest do not matter in the SR belief system. Nothing matters or has any meaning unless you bring it into awareness and for 'the good of all' actually contradicts SR.

This is why OR sucks ass, you will always be a victim of others and live in fear of how others IM and LoA renderings may affect you. SR is the ultimate self serving belief system, everything else includes fear and victim mentalities.

Self serving in a good way of course

I don't agree with that.
You can blinker off your ego awareness as much as you like, saying you are only aware of what your immediate senses transmit to you. However, deeper levels of your consciousness are perfectly aware of all that is happening to others around the world. You may not consciously feel it, but your body is actually registering the feelings and emotions of others 24/7.

It reminds of a phrase from a famous economist (can't remember his name at the minute). He said in relation to a government's policy that it should try to provide the greatest good for the greatest number of people.

It also reminds me of stuff I read in the 80's, where survival and responsibility is broken down into 'dynamics'.

The first dynamic is the sense of responsibility and survival for oneself. The second is the sense of sense of responsibility and survival for one's family, then so on, through to groups, tribes, nations, mankind and, finally, the universe as a whole. During the day we constantly shift our awareness between these dynamics. For example, if you were in a personal life or death situation, you may quickly shift focus from the fourth dynamic (mankind) to the first dynamic (self).

You believe in an objective reality, so you believe in a world, billions of people, thousands of deaths, struggle, pain and suffering, maybe even love and peace too, but only when other's make it possible.

Ego awareness is not SR, ego awareness is actually OR, fear of an outside world that will always be 'you vs them' always the victim at someone else's expense.

My body feels nothing outside of it's awareness, there is no outside and if you're honest you can feel it to........all those thousands of people who died today, did you feel that??.........No, Why?.........because you cannot and do not place it in your awareness, so it does not exist.

I prefer SR, I can never be a victim, no one can screw me over or hurt me, everything in my awareness is of my creation and that is very empowering, nothing outside matters.

I know there is a lot of stuff going on in the apparently external world which I don't have immediate control over, but that doesn't bother me. I don't feel afraid or a victim of it. I trust in God/Source/Higher Self who takes care of that side for me.

It sounds like you have devised a strategy for 'pulling' yourself in, so you don't have to think about, or be affected by, external things, possibly because you know that they are beyond your control and not of your creation, and that scares you.
Your awareness constantly flits from one thing to another. Because your awareness leaves one thing, it doesn't mean it ceases to exist.

Being aware of something doesn't mean you are creating it. You are just shining your light of perception on it and interpreting the feedback.

If you put your clothes in the washing machine in the morning and go to work, do the clothes cease to exist? When you return home and you find them clean, have you really created them again from scratch, or did the washing machine clean them while you were out?

@ExploringTheMatrix:

A bit off topic, but DUDE, I just saw your Sig - CareerNinja.com. ALmost fell off my chair. THere's such a synchronicity with that, cuz I was just thinking about using a Ninja to brand my site yesterday and came up with a similar theme.

I checked out your site and it's awesome. I love it. I'm gonna have to link to it from my new blog as soon as I get my design finished.

I love your definition of CareerNinja too. It totally describes me.

At my current "job" if you could call it that, I got my first promotion in 6 hours.

You're entire model of reality is based on there being a god that takes care of things for you and is the creative source. You believe god provides everything and you are just enjoying it's creation. That kind of thinking means you are a puppet, a victim and even a slave. You can say it's wonderous that god gives and allows such wonderment in the form of a planet and everything in/on it, but it's still victim/fear mentality.

It's a pointless discussion except for the fact that it further confirms to me my beliefs, so thanks for that Max

I totally agree with that.
I think that the phrase "for the highest good of all" is added for die-hard OR believers.

I do like to put in Marc Allen's other line of "or better" and "or sooner" to my affirmations. That way if I ask for a million ♥♥♥, but it ends up being 14million, it's all good.

I think you're confusing me with someone else. Deeper levels of my consciousness are God/Source/Higher self or whatever, which does feel the emotions of everyone else on the planet. In my current ego/mind/body level of awareness, I am quite happy to enjoy being here on earth for the ride. The deeper levels of my consciousness take care of the rest.
You sound like you are trying to shut out the reality of others which, to me, is denial.

It's actually realisation, not denial. I prefer to shut out the reality of others for they do not exist except in my awareness. Their reality is dependant on my awareness. Does a person who you'll never know or meet, ever exist??.........some may say yes. I believe it's no.

The only denial I ever sense is actually acceptance. You're right, when you say, I'm confusing you with someone else.........I'm actually confusing you as someone else.
