your forum nickname is sadly dehumanizing but hilariously funny!

Then why can't I hug anyone right now? Like I believe we are all connected in ways, but people are on the other side of the world physically, unless I am just imagining and believing that which is creating it, and if I was, that would be very sad and scary, and I wouldn't want to go into that again

Thats ok Roxy, you (as a projection of me) can feel and believe whatever you want to believe at this particular time in my dream.

Just as Steve (as a different projection of me) can feel and believe whatever he wants to believe at this particular time in my dream.

Sorry about that. My bad...

I will dream up some other people in Australia. I forgot that I imagined you as the only one there. That must have been rather lonely... I'm very sorry.

Gimme a minute or two, then go outside and see if other people are starting to manifest there yet.

How many would you like? Would 20 million be enough?

I'll make most of them huggable. Be on the lookout for them.

Again, I'm really sorry. To think that all this time you only had koalas and kangaroos to huggle.

You could if you believed you could. But you don't believe you can, so you cannot....

Steve,

I am curious how this trial is affecting your perception of your time abundance.

Before CGW four and on the pre-workshop audio, you mentioned that you were working on feeling more time abundant and NOT feeling pressured to complete tasks on a strict timeline...or something like that.

It seems like this trial has really put that whole idea on it's head, which is coming out in your posts lately, but not specifically.

My guess is that after the trial, you will want to have a more loose plan that allows inspiration to trump the plan, and the plan is there for when you hit the beach .

Plans are great, as long we don't attach too much engery on what really happens.

Like a play in football...every play is perfect...right up until you snap the ball.

You cannot manifest anything because this isn't your reality. It is Steve's.
Now quit being so selfish and hope that Steve gets a lot of joy because in the end it's all that matters. ^^

Question: I think I remember you referring to /defining NPC's as unpolarized people, did I get that right?

So are you redefining them here, or assuming random people you meet aren't polarized?

Now I didn't read it carefully, so I may have missed the part where he defined an NPC, so I read it as non-player character.

It's *is* supposed to be non-player character. But, if I recall correctly, 'non-player character' was a metaphor for non-polarized people.

My question is how can Steve know for sure who has polarized or not? Or is that another block in his SR? Or in mine?

That was kinda what my question was hinting at
If, indeed, he's not working off a different definition these days.

I see.

If your purpose is merely to say what's on the top of your head, or to have fun, you might as well play notepad with some made up characters. We are all locked away inside of the prison of our own mind, and the only way we can escape that prison is to go out into the world and build connections with others, demolishing those walls. It's a difficult task and easy to toss aside in the selfish desire for validation or fun, but it's the only real way to approach communicating.

It's not real to say what sounds the most fun? My whole life is an expression of what is the most enjoyable expression available to me. That includes communication. If I had to choose between fun and effective, fun wins, every time, hands down. And yet I communicate very very well. You understand what I'm writing write now, and I'm having fun doing it. I'm just writing willy nilly exactly what is coming to the top of my head, it is fun, but it is still somewhat different than playing with notepad. But either way I'm going to make something up.

Here's how you get out of the prison of your mind. Say whatever feels the most relevant to you, and say it as clearly as you can. Don't concern yourself with whether or not it is appropriate. Just enjoy the free flowing of allowing yourself to express what comes to mind as easily as it just shows up there. Effortlessly. And as you learn to express what is really there more clearly, you see yourself more clearly and understand your mind better. When you understand your mind better, it feels much less like a prison.

I do just that and you take offense -- XD XD XD -- but I am not writing for you ultimately.

I like what you write unconquered, and I like how I respond to you. I like when something brings up a charged response from me, like when I perceived you as being harsh and judgmental. And then I can just express it.

My response did sound like a rebuke. It was. There was a sense, you shouldn't do something that you're doing. And I express that all the time. And very likely I'll express that again. But there's nothing about you that needs to change. It's an expression. It's me understanding me by expressing what's there. And over time I understand myself more and you more, and the harshness goes away. It's replaced by appreciation. And I didn't even really need to "catch" myself. Gravity just takes me there automatically. To a place of appreciation. If I just let myself freely be whatever shows up without correcting it. Even if that something seems judgmental. That's okay too.

So yes, you may just do that, and yes, I may take offense. But right now we're still in communication, which means I see you a little more clearly then I did yesterday. Which is more then I could ever ask for.

Thank you. Personally, I don't think communication style is a part of "me," just like I don't think my race/sex/handedness/eye color/etc is a part of me. It's my Earth avatar, not me. My style is just something I need to be aware of if I say something and someone else is like "WHOA! Out of hand!" because that sort of thing is fairly common on these boards. In real life, this does not occur nearly as much unless they are already threatened by me in some way -- but their preconception of me is not something I can do much about.

There's a lot you can do to transform a preconception into a postconception that works better.

It's their subjective reality that they have defined, not me. If someone wants to perceive me a certain way, Actual Reality be damned, there is nothing I can do to violate their free will.
