Yep- that's the one!

First time posting here. I've followed your blog for years, but just recently followed my inspiration to join the forum. I felt to post today, if for no other reason than to say thanks.

Steve, thank you so much for all of your posts, especially those from this month. They have shown me that I'm on the right path. I'm seeing parallels in my life of almost everything that you have written about. Not just one or two, but in nearly every line that you have written.

I started a similar experiment at about the same time you did. I wasn't calling it living from a subjective viewpoint, but it was basically the same thing. Your posts have definitely helped me to clarify what I was trying to do.

As a result of this experiment, I too have seen dramatic improvements in my relationships, and frequently in ways that I never would have imagined. I'm communicating much more often and making deeper connections with everyone I come in contact with. Things are just falling into place for me and for those around me. Friends that are unemployed are finding work. I'm just happier.

I'm definitely seeing that living life this way is much better just because I feel so much more connected with everyone and everything. The anxiety of perceiving myself as separate and therefore not being safe is fading away, and rather quickly. The concepts of "oneness" and "being the thing that you desire" suddenly make sense, both of which are concepts I've struggled with for a long time.

And thank you for the blessing of abundance and a windfall of money that you left us. I'm looking forward to that. Especially since I am hoping to win a home in an auction on Friday. Regardless of the outcome though I'm going into the event in an non-attached way, just curious to see what the outcome will be.

I'm still working on immersing myself as deeply as you have into subjective living, and I'm finding it easier to do so every day. I can't wait to see what I'll learn tomorrow.

So again, thank you, thank you, thank you. I love you, and appreciate what you do (while realizing of course that we are one).

Oh, as a final thought, as far as the stress management goes, I've been exploring style number 3, and I've been trying to let go of beliefs. Really it has probably been more of a combination of all three styles of dealing with stress that you mentioned, but I've slowly been leaning towards number 3. While meditating the other day I came to understand intellectually how our beliefs, even those that we deem as positive can really limit not only our progression, but also the progression of others. Now I'm working on experiencing that understanding. I'll let you know how I progress.

Being chased?

I seem to be working on the exercise thing now. I went for a 4-5 mile walk last night. And this morning I hit the gym and did a workout I believed would make me feel really good: 20m treadmill (HR 162) + 20m elliptical (HR 160) + 2-mile walk.

Feeling really good from the dream endorphins now.

The number of synchronicities I encounter is also increasing!

Like, I just read a blog post, and it was posted on my birthday last year, and the time was 11:11.

[James81]

You know, Steve, I just looked at your sig for the first time in a while.

After your experiences with this trial, do you see that changing at all? (the part about the alarm clock)

[Reverend Keith]

Several messages on the subjective nature of reality collided in my dream at exactly the same time Steve began his experiment The most profound difference has been in the relationships with the various dream characters, which has become far more profound and has begun to totally transcend the former defensiveness. Nothing left to defend...

[Dukie]

Oh man, I feel so good today! It's almost unbelievable! Looking at my full head of hair puts a huge smile on my face! I think I'll go ride my flying lions with my cute geeky girlfriend later today. That always relaxes me.

Also having synchronicities like it's going out of style these days. Met an amazing 70 year old woman in the hospital today. She was me. Never been this convinced before. We talked about subjective reality and she knew all about it! I've never met a person before who already knew what SR was! She even had the same type of cancer as me! Talking to her almost made me cry. The doctors told her they might not be able to cure her, but we both knew better.

I absolutely loved the recipes in this book - your vegan meatloaf was RIDICULOUS and every mexican dish was a HOME RUN. Can't wait for tonight's meal using your Pad Thai recipe. YUM!

Synchronous indeed. Been traveling down the rabbit hole for going on 6 years now. Long story, but felt inspired, compelled, to add to the syncs.

Starting three days ago a power surge tripped the power to the coffee maker making me reset the time. You guessed it 11:11. A recurring sign for me and many others.

Two days ago felt the need to Facebook post the beginning scene in the Matrix where Neo is at his computer and he wakes up to see his monitor with the words "Knock, knock. Follow the white rabbit...". Simultaneously the scene flashed in my mind where Cypher is telling Agent Smith how tasty the steak is while smoking a fat cigar and how he wants to be reinserted.

And then of course yesterday when I read Steve's blog post. Sync, sync, sync.
Still amazes me.

Last night while I was going for a walk, a jackrabbit hopped along beside me in the bushes for part of the time.

Rachelle told me when she got home after her show last night, the whole neighborhood was dark due to a power outage. As soon as she inserted her key into the lock, all the lights went on again.

At the gym this morning, I noticed that the brand name of the elliptical machine I was using was "Matrix."

Curiouser and curiouser...

This has been the way I live since I was a young child.
Im grateful you are enjoying this. Ive always had a problem with grounding myself though. I am also very connected to my sleep dreams.
I wish we could meet and chat about all this one day!

I remember my best friend said to me when we were kids- You cant even just simply go to the store and come back, even if you go to the store- something odd and outrageous happens to you...
Or another friend recently said to me- We all live down here, and you live in some other sphere up there. haha.
Its true. So many weird things. Ive been living in NYC for the past year. Because of a crazy synchrinosity someone is letting me live in their luxury apartment for the last year. They even pay all the bills... But a friend said to me you are so lucky, not because of the apartment, but because you live right next door to the largest raw-vegan friendly supermarket in the whole of NY. Theres an amazing organic juice bar and raw food section there. Before I came to NY I was probably the only raw food vegan in the country I was living. I longed for a place where I wouldnt be considered a freak for that .And thats what i got! This friend travels 45 min every day just to get her juice there. I just walk downstairs...
And that is what I enjoyed last night. So thank you!!!!

Just as you relate in your post I have experienced many gifts from the universe in my life financially and continue to do so today. Now this same abundance and synchronicity are appearing in other areas of my life as if by magic.

(I think I'm the only person I know who hasn't had a "naked in public" dream. But then, I do get dreams where I go to a public toilet and there's no privacy at all. I have a lot of those.)

Actually, no, I used to have a lot of those, but now my dreams are great! I get a lot of flying dreams and lucid dreams that make me wake up with a smile. What a way to start my day!

What would Freud saying if I LIKE dreaming I'm naked in public??? Not PUBLIC public, but clothing opitional situations, likes spas and the like...

I just really LOVE being naked OUTSIDE in nature, mostly in my waking dream...I need to dream that up more often I guess...

[cortocabezas1111]

the new blog entry is awesome. i quit reading your blog for quite some time, but this new one describes a lot of things that i am experiencing, especially the whole everything in my experience validating it as a dream. my reality has been screaming at me that this is a dream lately.

[Tyler Fowler]

Ok, now this is a little freaky for me. Not only does cortoca have an 11:11 in his username, but his post is the 77th post. Alongside that, Gene posted at 11:22 and 11 minutes later yooper posted at 11:33.

Is it just me, or is that a LOT of repeating numbers ALL in a row?

Edit: And I posted in a Palindromic time! Sweet!

I glance over my shoulder, tv's on.

Someone: "I'm looking for a bunny"
Other person: "Lewis Carrol or the Matrix?"

[Bodhi]

This reminds me of what Wayne Dyer wrote many years ago...

"You'll see it, when you believe It"

Thanks for dreaming me as having financial abundance.

Hehe, thanks! It's nice that the universe, for once, is being so direct with me when it comes to syncs.

[yoopersmith]

Obvisously, if our dream is "Unwritten", and we are to feel the rain our skin...we need to be at least a little naked outside

Whenever I see the title of this thread, "Eleanor Rigby" starts playing in my head.

Well, things are getting weird..for the past few days I've been coming across posts where people use exact..but exact words/expressions that I've been thinking, too. It's like reading my own thoughts....

Well... you left your mind open.

[innerstatejt]

I'm currently reprogramming my dream world to the point that all my panic, anxiety and fatigue simply vanishes and becomes a thing of the past. Creative inspiration flows so fast I can hardly keep up with the ideas coming at me and my business finances pass the 5 digit threshold to 6 digits.

As I do this for myself, I will do this for everybody, since we are the same. If any other dream characters want to offer assistance, great. We'll do this together!

So that's why I felt such a strong desire for a workout this morning!

Funny, all you Matrix people - I actually had a Matrix dream last night! I dreamed my brother was watching the movie and I went into his room to play a game version of it, in which I made Neo fight off aliens.

Now, I'm off to the airport! See you folks in San Francisco! I have a really close friend meeting me there - it'll be great to meet her in person at last!
