Any books/sites on Subjective Reality?

[Norman]

Hi,

I've read Steve's articles on Subjective Reality, but haven't fully grasped the idea (e.g. there is only one consciousness - my consciousness), and how to actually apply the idea to daily life to achieve better results (I'm not talking about IM or LoA here). Would appreciate any recommendations of books/websites on this topic.

Thanks,

Norman

"The Dissappearance of the Universe" and the second book "Your Immortal Reality" are excellent books I just finished reading that explained the concepts of SR to me.

Come to my website Secrets of Mind and Reality

It explains the whole Universe as Mental. You can find my book Mind Reality - The Universe Is Mental there as well.

Hi Paul & MindReality,

Thanks for your recommendations. I'll check them out. Actually I went to Amazon and read the reviews for the two books Paul mentioned.

However, I have some difficulty in applying SR in daily life. Say I have an annoying colleague that lies all the time in order to do less work. By SR, there is only one consciousness, my consciousness, and the colleague is just a reflection of that consciousness. So in order to get the colleague to change his behavior, I need to change something in me? What do I need to change?

How would you guys apply SR in this case?

Thanks,

Norman

Reality is a shared one. Although you create your reality, you create it in cooperation with other minds who are also creating reality.

Here's how you can influence the reality of another:

Let's say you have this colleague and he in fact lies. What of it? Do his lies affect your work/performance? The thing to look at in a situation like this is what is it exactly that is bugging you about this person. Is it simply that honestly is not one of his strong values? Perhaps honesty is very important to you, but not to him. But even still, it's natural to assume that with billions of people out there not everyone will have the same values as you. So what makes this person special? Do they bring you down at lunch time? Do they work beside you? If they're just minding their own business on the other side of the room, and it doesn't affect you, why would it bother you? There must be some way that their lies affect you and that is probably what bugs you.

If for example their lies are bringing down some kind of numbers in your team which they are part of and you keep missing your promotion because of them or your raise, the thing to do is to focus your intention on the thing you want, not the thing you don't want.

You may enjoy the first few Seth books (Jane Roberts). they came out before subjective reality was a buzzword.

Oh look, there's me, I'm a liar and I'm lazy. [Dharma goes on to whatever he was doing]

Ok, that's one application.... this assumes I have no internal reaction to what I'm experiencing. Cool beans. But since your coworker is annoying, you are having a reaction. So, this is how it could play out:

Oh look, there's me, I'm a liar and I'm lazy. And he, err me, err... that friggin' annoys me! Why am I reacting this way? Well, telling lies and being lazy is wrong. So that part of me (the lazy one) is wrong and this part of me is right, cuz I'm not lazy!

And this situation isn't right either. I need to change the lazy one into a more productive one (cuz that's good) so I don't have to deal with the feeling of being annoyed in the moment.

Instead of dealing with my reaction (being annoyed) I'd rather blame this loser for being the cause of my upset. So I guess I don't want to deal with my emotional reaction right now. But he's wrong! He should be working!

Why am I stuck on that? Oh, I remember, right and wrong is a polarity and a polarity is just a construct in my mind. Doing work is what it is and being lazy is what it is. They are not opposites. There is no goodness or badness about one or the other, but for some reason I really want them to be. And I really want to be right.

ok, so, I've created my reality with this lazy part of me in it. This reaction I'm having is telling me I'm playing with some denial right now (denial in the form of polarity) as to my creatorship of the moment. So I'm forgetting I'm creating this lazy guy. Why would I create a lazy guy in my experience? I don't know. I don't think I'll ever know.

But I do know as creator of all my experience I am creating:
1. the lazy guy
2. myself
3. lazy guy's non-existant workload
4. my own workload

and each of these manifest by themselves. Getting lazy guy to work more (#3) will not make my workload (#4) any easier, because they're separate manifestations. If I want less work and more ease in my workday, making lazy-guy busier won't effect anything. I have to choose less work and more ease for myself.

But if I like my workload, I don't have to change a thing except let go of my reaction to my lazy self and remind myself that I am creator of all my experience.

This is kind of advanced (may not seem like it if you're reading it) but doing this in the moment takes practice. My blog will be going over this exact stuff. I'll be finishing up two posts over xmas and then starting in on the basics of creatorship and moving on from there.
