While I'm new to this forum, I'm certainly not new to experiencing abundance and joy in my life! I have a beautiful wife, a six figure income that I make simply from donations I get in appreciate of the incredible value I've managed to provide to the rest of the world through my blog, not to mention the novels I've written, the original Aston Martin DB5 that was used in Goldfinger that I drive, and of course the Lifetime Achievement Award I received at the Oscars this year. Things couldn't be better! |

I went for a walk this evening, and encountered a rabbit. We both stopped and be'd with each other for a couple of minutes, and then I walked right past him, him looking up at me, apparently unperturbed and not hopping away. Hmmmm. |

I don't think of synchronicities as all that special, nor do I think this is really a synchronicity at all, but I was reading through my list of fav. quotes on FB and noticed this one... "Pour rêver, il ne faut pas fermer les yeux, il faut lire." Michel Foucault Translation: To dream, it is not necessary to close your eyes, but to read. |

It occurs to me that the old children's song... Row, row, row your boat Gently down the stream Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, Life is but a dream acquires a whole new level of meaning when viewed through the SR lens. |

After reading this update i went meditating in my garden (nothing special as i always do it at that time)...A hedgehog came to me and stayed for a while with me (just about 50 cm away).-well as you can imagine it never happened before...  Im now Sure Steve. This can only be a dream... oh and by the way. all you guys here are just amazing!!! seriously i just have no words... i could never feel before such an energy reading a thread.  ps: one question remains...why an hedgehog and not a rabbit ?  well i think confusion is normal for a dream world right ?  |

Amazing. I was just trying to manifest money last weekend, and then I read Steve's blog post where he said all of us woudl be receiving money. Then two projects that were stalled suddenly received the green light, and I just received $450 in the last two days that I really wasn't expecting. This is completely true. I've been wondering lately, whether as a person realized more and more that life was a dream, whether they could wield more and more control over this dream? I can invision someone coming to such a deep realization of this truth, that they can use telekinesis in this life, just willing an object to move since it is just a dream anyway, or perhaps willing oneself to levitate. The possibilities are endless. What do you think? Anyway, it's amazing. Both of my businesses are wonderfully successful. With one, I've been able to help so many people with healing (physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually) and finding their purpose; I feel like I've really made a diference in the world. There are over a million readers of my blog and tens of thousands of members on my forums, who continually help each other to wake up and be more conscious. I've written books about spirituality and healing and they have really been successful, too. With the second, i've been able to write programs that I truly enjoy and that bring value to others. I've been a consultant to a lot of businesses, and have really helped new ones to start up and gain a firm foundation. I've helped a lot of people find what they are passionate about and be able to start a business around it. I'm also very happily married to Christine, and she is also very successful. She's been able to help a lot of people by counseling, through our business we have had. She even got her massage certification like she's been wanting to do for a while. We have a beautiful house in a safe neighborhood. We try to help people as much as possible instead of just spending our money on ourselves, so we try to be really generous. We have several beautiful children who we've brought up really well. |

I did 60 minutes on the elliptical today followed by a mile walk. Dream exercise is way easier than objective world exercise. Realizing that oxygen, muscles, and sweat are just part of the simulation seems to change the nature of the experience somehow, so it doesn't feel as effortful.

| Just thought I'd add... I was reading your most recent post on my cell phone, Wednesday morning at work. If you recall, as you wrote, pointing out to your daughter the pedestrian carrying an umbrella when it wasn't raining. Maybe two hours later, I look outside to see a man walking down the sidewalk holding a dark red umbrella. It was perfectly sunny. Take that as you will. I'm still rather uncomfortable with this subjective reality business. I might also inform you all that I'm a princess with magical powers. Who can talk to animals. I'm friends with mermaids and vampires and I visit Atlantis frequently. And I have the kindest, sweetest, bravest, most amazing fiance, who also happens to be my soul mate.<3 That last bit is true. Or is it all true? o.o |

Just an update on my previous post. I won the house auction this morning. Got a nice 3300 sq. ft. home for a smokin hot deal. And I have to admit. It was easier to bid, when I knew that the only bid war was actually going on within me. Thank you for the abundance! |

Yay! Got my first $1,000 check from my work on polyhedrons. It's hard to believe I had once thought that it would never be more than just an unprofitable hobby. But things turned around once I changed my thinking FTW. The ways to monetize the work became apparent shortly thereafter. This $1,000 is just a modest beginning.

The article seemed to put a few pieces in place but I feel like it was a combination of a nostalgic feeling and a dream. A certain type of connection has not happened yet. I feel influenced but not connected. Last night I ate heavier foods and needed more sleep after that. I also watched Belly dancing last night. I was experiencing the pasta drugging the same time I was witnessing the hard work, soul, and physical fitness that goes into belly dancing. | |

I just got back from a bike ride around the city where I was helping out at the community garden and food for the homeless program I started. I'm so glad I have all this free time in between my indie films and record coming out, and my several thriving businesses. And when December hits, I'll be heading to Hawaii and Thailand to see how the permaculture food forests I started there are coming!

I just have the need to personally thank steve for his wonderous forum and site and blog. And especially this subjective reality experiment and dream world posts. I already came from a subjective reality-ish background. And for atleast a 5 months now ive been going deeper down the metaphorical rabbit whole, but these posts have really helped me to immerse myself in this dream world. So yes, thank you so much |

Today before going to fill in for someone at Burger King, my baby sister decided to watch the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I sort of half pay attention to the movie while I read my book, but I distinctly caught Mr. Wonka say to Baruca Salt in the "lickable wallpaper room," "We are the Music Makers and we are the Dreamers' of Dreams," a phrase I did not know was in the movie. And when I get back from working, I'm just in time to hear Alice and the Mad Hatter have the "I'm dreaming" conversation, where Alice says, "Yup, you're just a figment of my imagination." I've never had movies sync up for me before, so this was a pretty cool experience for me. Last edited by Tyler Fowler; 08-22-2010 at 04:33 AM. |

I believe there is something more complex going on that derives reality into being subjective one time and being objective the other time. Just like light behaves like a particle in one situation and as a wave in another, but actually is 'something higher' that can derive into one of those two. It's not entirely a dream world, but not entirely objective either. It goes far beyond such simple 'lenses'. That doesn't mean those lenses can't be extremely useful. |
