Looking at why Everything is ONE Thing
I wrote this as a message to a member of the community who has been having difficulty understanding the Universal Line teachings. I attempted to expound on the arguments that John presents in AFGTUL Part 1. There are four parts—each part is meant to be fully understood before moving on to the next.
Part One
Let's start with this. Everything has to come from somewhere, right? Scientists say it was the Big Bang. Evangelical Christians say it was "God" (though not Father Line, in their case). But the thing that comes before both of those is Nothing. Before the Big Bang, there was Nothing. Before God, there was Nothing.
Nothing is the only thing that can contain Everything. Think about it. What is outside of Everything? Outside the universe, space, and time? Outside of any "big thing" that you can think of?
Nothing is the only thing that is outside of Everything. That's why it can contain Everything. Even though Nothing can't be seen with your eyes (because it's Nothing), you can imagine it like big white space that has no end. The universe goes inside that big white space. Where else can the universe go? Every object needs something bigger to contain it. Think about it. The oceans are contained by the Earth and its atmosphere. The Earth is contained by our solar system. Our solar system is contained by our galaxy. Our galaxy is contained by a huge group of galaxies. This huge group of galaxies is contained by a larger group of galaxies. Keep going, and eventually all galaxies and groups of galaxies are contained by the universe. What's outside the universe? What contains it? Maybe it's a space with a bunch of universes "floating around." But something has to be outside that group of universes. Something has to contain them.
Part Two
What contains all the universes "floating around"? Eventually, there has to be ONE really, really big thing that contains all the things we talked about. Because everything needs something to contain it. Once you get to that really, really Big Thing, that really, really Big Thing still needs something to contain it, too. But what can contain the Big Thing? Well, a Bigger Thing. But then we need something to contain that, too. We would need endless Bigger Things to contain each smaller Bigger Thing. It would go on forever. Maybe that's what happens. But we're left with our original point. Everything needs to be contained by something.
So if we have endless Big Things and Bigger Things, what can contain them? Nothing. Nothing is the only thing that can contain all the Big Things and Bigger Things. This is where it gets a bit difficult to understand, but if Nothing is containing all the Big Things and Bigger Things, that makes Nothing a real thing, right?
Yes, it makes Nothing a real thing. But it's the Final Thing and the Last Thing, because nothing else can be bigger than the thing that contains Everything. Read that a couple times until it makes sense. So if you have One Final Thing that contains Everything, what happens if you get rid of that One Final Thing? Everything disappears. That's because everything needs placement. Everything needs some bigger thing to contain it and give it a place to exist. That's what the One Final Thing does. It gives all the Big Things and Bigger Things a place to exist. You can't get rid of the One Final Thing, because if you do, there's no place for anything to exist.
Part Three
So then why is the One Final Thing also just only ONE thing? Well, if there were a second thing equally as big as the One Final Thing, wouldn't you need Something Even Bigger to contain BOTH things?
Whenever you add another thing to the Final Thing, it makes the Final Thing not the final thing anymore. And then that thing, the thing that used to be the Final Thing, now needs something to contain it. Just like everything else, it needs a place to exist. You can do this forever. But eventually there needs to be an end, because all things need a place to exist. So there needs to be something that contains everything. That's what Nothing is. It contains Everything. It gives everything a place to exist. Nothing is also ONE Thing, because if it was more than just One Thing, it would need something else to contain it and give it a place to exist, right?
That's why Nothing has to be One Thing. It's the end. There are no more Bigger Things outside of it, because again, if there were Bigger Things outside of Nothing, then you would need an Even Bigger Thing to give them a place to exist.
Part Four
Now, why are YOU the same thing as that One Thing? Why are you ONE Thing? Well, what happens if you somehow become separate from One Thing? That would make two things, right? If that happens, then those two things need something to contain them, right? They need a place to exist. That creates a third thing. If a third thing is added to give those two things a place to exist, it forces us to start over. The whole process of adding things never ends, until you have One Final Thing. Eventually, there has to One Final Thing, and everything has to be part of it.
If everything is not part of the Final Thing, then you would need something else to contain whatever is not part of that thing and the first thing that used to be the final thing. In other words, you have to be part of the Final Thing, or it's not the Final Thing.
...
This is an understandable question! If you haven't looked at the answers provided by u/Glaome, u/redrocklove, and u/jotawins, I would recommend them. But I'll also add my thoughts.
Can we apply the reductio ad absurdum to, let's say, "something being just 10 percent of the One Thing" ?
Remember that ONE Thing is the Final Thing and also Nothing. You can't have only 10 percent of Nothing—there are no degrees to it. Neither can Nothing be composed of smaller parts. That makes it Something, rather than Nothing and the Final Thing. As Nothing by nature cannot have degrees, nor can it be composed of smaller parts, it must then be perfectly complete and indivisible. It can't be divided. Only Something can be divided. Therefore, Nothing is always Whole and can never be less than Whole, because it's Nothing. Nothing can't have attributes, only non-attributes (i.e. timeless, spaceless, non-dimensional, all-pervasive). This leaves us with something that, again, can only be ONE Thing. You might ask then how you and I can exist, and the answer is that we don't. That might sound overly philosophical at best and maybe condescending at worst, but I don't mean it that way. The fact that we don't exist, nor does anything else, is the Only Real Truth, because Nothing is the Final Reality. We only seem to exist because Nothing (that is, Universal Line) vibrates itself to seemingly become something else, all the while remaining the same ONE Thing that is Nothing. Just like the ocean becomes waves that still always remain the ocean. The waves are never separate, though we might temporarily perceive them as such.
My post was designed to only address the initial question of how everything is ONE Thing, which is why it seems there should be more at the end. There will be! I intend this to be a series :)
Q: So I get the theory but like...what do you do about it? Like do we use any techniques, do we live our lives differently, or is this just a helpful mindset? I’m a Neville Goddard practitioner, so I’m used to thinking in terms of specific techniques.
elmer_botha: Keep in mind that Neville taught much more on you being I Am than technique. His 'technique' assumes the practioner understands who he is fundamentally first and foremost. It's a shame that Neville's wonderful teachings have been diminished to Technique. But Neville aside, I assume you've not read the material or else you'd not ask the question? There is a 'technique' called the ten-minute command session. But it's only purpose is to point you to what u/DreamerAxelos has so beautifully conveyed in his post. Its about who you are. Getting caught up in technique will make you miss the point.
...
That's what's coming next :) The purpose of this brief essay was to help drive home the point of why Everything is ONE-Thing.
Do you need to remember that you are Universal Line all the time?
Do you need to remember that you are Universal Line all the time?
Here's an answer directly from John (Q&A 1, page 2–3):
Question: I think the trouble for me is that I am still interacting with my world on a daily basis, so an unchanging dream does bear some acknowledgement. How would I maintain Universal Line throughout the day while interacting with daily life, where the absence of the return would be "obvious"? Does active inclusion apply here as well?
Answer: Everyone is interacting with their world on a daily basis. It’s called a return of what you know, or the outer condition. It results from what you know about who you are. Trying to maintain UL throughout your day may divide your mind and weaken effective practical action. Let the results of carefully considering the facts lead the way to maintaining UL. Let the return of your 10 minute session lead the way. Otherwise, you’re putting the cart before the horse. When you come out of your session, into your daily interaction, you’ll find yourself automatically acting differently with your environment. Not all at once, but it will snow-ball with repetition. Let the obvious absence of the return be a valuable indicator that you need to improve familiarity with the facts – then go ahead and take care of them. There is a slight variance to my advice. Conditions during your day may inspire you to react with your new knowledge. You test out your new knowledge to see how well you do. It’s a kind of adventure that assists in its integration. Go ahead and enjoy that. Just don’t let it detract too much from normal effective action that gets the job of daily living done well. Otherwise, you may gain the reputation of being a New-Age nutcase :-) Yes, command active inclusion is a nice smooth non-interfering way of integrating your knowledge of UL. There is no risk of being a nutcase.
In other words, keep commanding using the 10-Minute Command Session and keep studying the material. Your knowledge and ability will deepen over time. Don't worry about trying to maintain UL knowledge throughout your day—that will come naturally over time.
...
PassportToHappy: This is such a great reminder! Also, to speak to the snowball effect. It is happening all around me in my life. I keep a log of these things so I can have the proof right at my fingertips. It also helps for when my resolve is low to go back and remember. A few examples: when the lawnmower miraculously started working again after it died, when the refund check came from an old car loan, when I no longer was irritated because my coworker acted differently (a miracle, you have no idea lol), when my mom told me she is sleeping better at night (she always complained of insomnia), etc. If you look around your world, notice meaningful "good things" that are happening around you. It is an overarching effect of your intentions- at least it is in my case. A lifting and lightness overall. It is unmistakable. I am in this to see a full return of my commands so keeping a log of my partial or indirect returns is helpful.
Edit: In case you forget WHO you are, take notes of your returns. You can look back and see that you had partial return of commands. Notice the snowball effect in your world.
So you've been commanding your universe, and now it seems like your world is turning upside down...
/u/yashualang recently said that:
Lately this realm being experience is very messy. I feel like I’m going through a storm. I was studying Neville Goddard and I was feeling great now I’ve done a bunch of command sessions and am getting fully dedicated to JP’s work and I’m having a brutal time the past few weeks. Has anyone had this, and when does it turn around?
This is actually a sign of progress. Refer to page 17 of AFGTUL Part 2:
When Mac is new to this knowledge, his action to command his universe directly for instantly materialized money, is likely to stir up boundaries which challenge him. Mac doesn’t notice dust in the air until he starts to sweep dust out the door.
Remember that you are playing a grand hide-and-seek game with Yourself and intentionally making it difficult. Would it really be a fun journey of re-discovering WHO You are if it were easy? Don't be afraid of stirring up more dust. Trust Yourself. Keep working with the material and deepening your knowledge. You can command to make any problems go away, or you can keep moving forward, and as your knowledge deepens, they will likely go away seemingly "on their own"—after all, knowledge has organizing power. More importantly, through Your complete authorship integrity, You decide when the problems go away.
...
John_paolucci: A correction to DreamerAxelos’ post needs to be made to align it with the UL materials correctly.
“Would it really be a fun journey of re-discovering WHO You are if it were easy?”
This comes from an Iron Age teaching: Darkness is necessary to enjoy the light.
Father Line: If you use your authorship integrity to conclude that unease is necessary to enjoy re-discovering Me, you’ll get all the living proof you could want that it’s, “The way things are.” That will continue until you eventually discover the non-change Fact.
If I made a rite of passage that enjoyment of discovering Me required difficulty, I would be what My atheists complain I am: A capricious stupid mean-minded God – an utter maniac – utterly monstrous, deserving no respect whatsoever. A requisite of difficulty and unease never comes from the structural reality of My absolutely adorable endless self-effulgent positive refinement.
“You can command to make any problems go away.”
Father Line: What essentially is causing problems is lack of clarity that I’m sitting right there commanding. Without that careful consideration clarity, you have no choice but to go to partial view’s conclusion, and that’s when you patch what’s wrong: “I’m no longer… I’m not good enough that way… So here’s my plan to patch things up…"
It’s then that you do some type of command to avoid a possible adverse outcome. You’re denying My resident complete authorship integrity, which is not a place I recommend going. Doing so is essentially saying that I’m to some degree, I'm a capricious monster who needs to be fixed or else you’re doomed.Instead, simply continue with your fresh start ideal command content of attention in Me.
“Remember that you are playing a grand hide-and-seek game with Yourself and intentionally making it difficult.”
Father Line: No one intentionally makes things difficult for themselves. They only do so because they don’t know any better. They don't know any other way to fulfill their desires. They do the best they can with what they know because their essential nature is Me. Yes, from a very localized point of view, they intentionally make difficulty as described in The Hierarchy of Beings, but it's best to be aware of My greater truth and always put that first.
DreamerAxelos need not apologize for the inaccuracy because it was Me using My seeming inaccuracy to better bring home the message of My Effulgence to those who identify themselves with difficulty.
Q: What I think, is that I am some kind of sexual predator and deserve to be punished. I've been like this since 2013. I blame my Christian upbringing for telling me people like me deserves to be in hell. I have known for some time now that I'm in this trap. At first I blamed it on the CIA, but it's hide and seek like you say. I use this 'greater truth' to rationalize my isolation and inability to start a new relationship. What do you mean by putting the truth first?
John_paolucci: Step back a bit for a bigger picture (to put a greater truth first). The CIA and Church never stop being 100% Father Line. He’s just pretending, and for the most precious-majestic reason. Everyone has some unique expansion opportunity to inspire them to find Who ultimately. A generously wide expansion opportunity would be a pedophile terrorist serial killer. Yours is not that generous :) A pedophile terrorist serial killer never stops being Father Line either. So put the greater truth first that right where you are now is 100% authorship integrity of the universe. However you change is going to be 100% authorship integrity of the universe. So just lean in the direction of making the change you want and no need to make a fuss along the way. If it makes you feel any better, after telling someone you’re a predator, they’re telling you right here that you’re fine just the way you are, which of course includes your inspiration to change. Now go into the materials to know these things in a self-validating way.
Why You are Fully in Charge of Your Private Dream
In short, the answer to why you're fully in charge and the commander of your private dream is that there is truly no separation between you and Line. There is no "you." You can use Line, because "you" are Line. In other words, don't think of it so much as "you" using Line. Think of it as Line deciding to change/manifest/create things. Your private dream is simply one of the many variations that it creates, and you are Line pretending to enjoy it as you.
I use a thought experiment sometimes to remind myself how I am Line. If you'd like to try it, imagine yourself sitting on your couch and time is slowing down around you. At first, it will probably seem boring, as not much is happening. But if you speed up how fast you're slowing down time, eventually you will notice that the objects around you are flickering. Very quickly at first, almost too fast to see. Time continues to slow down, and eventually the objects around you are disappearing for whole "seconds" of your personal relative time. Now, look at your hand. It, too, is blinking in and out of existence. Your hand and the rest of your body is disappearing, ceasing to be, and then reappearing as "you" continue to watch. When you and all the objects around you disappear, there's only a blank void. Then everything reappears again—including you—and this cycle continues to repeat over and over.
That blank void is Universal Line. You can't actually see it, of course, but for the sake of this example, let's say it appears as an infinite white space. You are flickering in and out of existence from it, probably millions of times every nanosecond (the true amount is a question for Father Line). So there is no real "you." You are simply Line, as your body is being directly created and then dissolved from the blank void over and over again. You are the blank void (Line), and the blank void is you. There is no separation, because there's only one blank void (Line). You can use Line, because it's not "you" using Line, it's Line using Line.
...
Q: /u/DreamerAxelos how can you speed up the slowing down of time? I remembered having slowed down time when I was back in college. I would look at the clock and imagined it ticking slower so I could study. For some reason, I could read and study many chapters of a book in under 30 minutes to an hour, but I would always attribute it to maybe I have been able to read faster due to concentration. Though I know at the back of my mind that maybe, I indeed made the time tick slower like I intended too. But then how do you make it faster to slow down?
DreamerAxelos: Time is one of Your waves, though it likely represents one of your more "ingrained" boundaries as a realm-being. Yet that doesn't change how You handle it. Look to WHO You are and command it to change (rather, become it changing), as You would with any other wave of Your universe. Once you have the proper level of resolve about WHO You are, it will change.
COMMENTS
POST: A few months in and no results
What have you been trying to manifest? When you're met with no success, it means you need to go back to the basics of WHO You are. Do you really believe You're ONE All-Person? Do you really know it and understand why it's true?
Depending on your level of understanding of this truth, you will get different levels of results. No results suggests that you don't truly understand or know it. Can you say with confidence that you know why everything is ONE Thing? And why YOU are that ONE Thing?
John_paolucci: I looked at your posts for the last two months. Almost all your time is on other reddits which would garble my info if you’re mixing and matching. Only a month ago and maybe sooner, you couldn't understand a word I was saying. However, you now say you know you’re ONE thing and you say it’s the same thing as God. That means if you simply go on your way and forget about trying to learn my info, you’ll still be the same state of God. That means you have nothing to lose by not bothering yourself with UL info and live your life as it comes. That’s what I recommend. However, if there are others here who would enjoy coaching you, something may come of it.
POST: This question is often asked so I’ll pin it.
In other words, as your understanding and consideration of UL/FL deepen, so will the level of your returns increase.
John_paolucci: Good. This also applies to the image in A Deeper Look where you see FL holding both your intention and looking to Him. I've added this text (Oct. 30 update) to the end of A Deeper Look at Your First Two Essentials:
If you hear yourself respond inside; “But I acknowledged that Father Line is holding those for me perfectly, yet nothing happened,” or even only a strange feeling of strain inside, do the following: Put your finger to my lips while viewing this image and listen to Me express that. Who I am is not about unresolved or strain, so why would I express that unless I was playing my hide-and-seek game? I do it to covertly reveal your lack of conviction in Who I am and what I do. It’s your advancing realization of Me which brings your return. I bring you closer to your return by encouraging your faculty of realization to advance establishing yourself as Me.
The realization that I was only playing a game will bring you to silence over the issue. Should it happen again, you'll know better and instantly return to being My Fact without even having to think about the hide-and-seek game.
POST: Just my two cents: regarding using UL as it relates to morally gray/black areas
SillyLadyPickle: I think you misunderstood the point being made. No one encouraged so-called moral gray/black areas...they can exist though and the point is that they too are ONE-thing...everything done is UL/FL. You could go do such things, and we'd consider them wrong, from our realm-being perspective, but as the whole of totality nothing is right or wrong it's simply an experience...all of which you bend to experience. There are times when seeming vulgarity and moral discomfort can be used to inspire further consideration of the immensity of WHO...I believe that was the point. Being challenged by such things might feel uncomfortable but allow you to take a firmer stance, as you did with this post, of WHO you are. :)
Very well said. From the ultimate perspective at the top of the hierarchy of truths, Nothing happened. There is no difference between "good" and "evil."
John_paolucci: Hey guys, take it easy on this poor fellow. He obviously hasn't heard of our secret cult pact with Krishna, that we all must go out, abuse a 10yo and poison a dog to prove our loyalty. Don't the Scientologists have something like this too? Why sointn'ly ;-) 5000 years ago Father Line said: "Boundaries are the only sin."
It's boundaries that prevented they-man from seeing his command become instantly true: "Simply being universal line, I now become where everybody stops thinking about doing things like face fing 10yos or poisoning animals or whatever else". The next questions should be, "Then how do I keep from getting caught in boundaries to my command?" If you come up with something better than getting yourself fully covered with P.16 in A deeper Look, let me know.*
POST: Help needed.
This is a frustrating situation with which many of us have dealt. I will share some practical advice. We often need to accommodate the fact that we are still realm-beings. This includes the experience of not getting the manifestations we desire, as you described. When this happens, yes, we do need to remember WHO we are, but we also often have to remedially build our resolve and conviction that we are THAT, which is Universal Line. In order to build our resolve and conviction, we need to reread the texts provided by John (especially A Deeper Look at Your First Two Essentials) and perform command procedures for progressively "larger" returns. As you begin to see increased results in your world from these commands, your resolve and conviction will increase. It can be frustrating having to do this (I know from experience), because you are always-already there (this IS IT), but we are still realm-beings with limited perception, so we have to accommodate that reality.
I highly recommend keeping a command journal. Write down the content of your command after you perform it, and then later come back and record any results. You may even want to include a separate section for just your results/manifestations. That way, when you feel like your resolve is low, you can read your successful returns to increase your conviction. You'll likely eventually be surprised by what you see.
Wow! I love this advice!! I will start journaling my commands and manifestation as well . Btw when you say command ,does it mean affirmations?
Ah, you must have come from the LoA community! No, commands are quite literally you commanding your universe as Universal Line. Check out the resources in the sidebar if you haven't yet :)
Wow first time I've heard about the command! I'm gonna watch those YouTube videos now! Thanks for the response:)
Always glad to help Myself :) After you watch the videos, read the PDFs, too. It will help reinforce the concepts. Have fun rediscovering WHO You are!
John_paolucci: Just a little nudge here Axelos.
We often need to accommodate the fact that we are still realm-beings.
That's going to accommodate involuntarily enough on its own. :)
You're not a realm-being, but FL, and the sooner you can get that nailed, the better. Better to nudge a person in the direction of this than beef up their acknowledgement of ignorance. Also, hanging on your return history for conviction instead upping your intimacy with FL is like groping in the darkness instead of switching on the light. Yes, the things you mentioned can help, and they'll do okay with them, but it's good to keep UL priorities up front whether new or seasoned. That's the difference between this reddit and all the other "old world" personal transformation reddits.
Q: What about a mixed approach? What I outlined above has been helpful to me personally, but I also do focus on the fact that I am Father Line. Especially for beginners, I feel like practical methods can help drive home the conviction that they are FL.
John_paolucci: I wish there would have been someone around to tell me on day one, that I wasn't a realm-being, that I wasn't a beginner, that I didn't need to be practical by compromising with what, and to not mix approaches. Any time you tell someone, "but you're still a realm-being," you're opening a can of worms. You may think it has helped you but only because you didn't know better. (I'm talking direct help instead of indirect expansion opportunity help. Everything helps as all is your Best Friend.)
The realm-beings info is there to explain why things seem to be, and to make cause-effect hierarchical distinctions, but that doesn't mean these lesser truths should be acted on when it comes to procedure.Now that the sweet deal procedure is clearly presented, any compromise to it is a very wrong emphasis which I will clearly identify and weed out so that this knowledge moves forward unimpaired by weakness. Since this is a public space, which means such things are bound to happen, I'll post warnings of "OUTSIDE OF U.L. TEACHINGS" here and on my website. Then Subscribers can feel free and justified to say whatever they want, and if interested, they can ask me why it's outside. That seems fair and in accord with internet democracy.
POST: Why an atheist is right when he says Father Line is not true.
He wants to go all the way with Who He is and that’s great.
It's so ironic that the atheists are actually right. They go right to the highest truth, but they miss all the fun.
John_paolucci: They wouln't do it unless it was so fulfilling to be an atheist.
POST: So many questions. But is it all just weighing you down?
*mossyeyes: Is this common? I was surfing on universal line and now I’m on a rolling tailspin w Mr Owl and feeling like a thirsty fish in the sea.
Both the Q&A and this subreddit are fairly rife with stories about things being pretty difficult -- sometimes even getting more difficult once this work starts. Here's a personal story:
I was in the same boat. My manifestations were going almost suspiciously fantastic -- all the doors were opening and I could practically see eternity unfolding in front of me. Then I read The Kybalion and bought in hard to the concepts of Polarity and Rhythm. What that meant, naturally, was that after a week or so of my unfiltered success, the 'pendulum' had to 'swing the other way' and so suddenly, instead of manifesting good things, it was like my life was suddenly trying to grind me into the ground and prove to me that I wasn't able to do these things I thought I could do.
- Week 1: Total Success
- Week 2: Abject Failure
- Week 3: Total Success
- Week 4: Abject Failure
This was exhausting and confusing and awful. Annnnnd it was all my fault. I did that! I did that by deciding a piece of structural reality (In this case, Polarity and Rhythm) applied to me and my work. Once I made that decision, the pendulum began to swing and I was slaved to its systemic wave because I chose to be.
It wasn't necessarily some 'conscious' choice -- I as a u/mossyeyes perspective didn't sit there and say, 'You know what'd be funny? If I alternated weeks of AWESOME with weeks of SANITY-DESTROYING AWFULNESS. LOLZ.' But it was a decision that was made from u/mossyeyes perspective none the less because an idea was presented and I gave it a casual thumbs up. 'Yeah, Polarity. Rhythm. Those things seem to be structural facts in my reality already.'
Whether they were or weren't at that point, they for sure were after that point.
That's what it means to be the Sole Commander. It's ALL your fault. The 'good' stuff is all you, the 'bad' stuff is all you. It's all YOU.
(If you're wondering, as soon as I'd realized what I'd done to myself, I fixed it and I don't run so HOT/COLD anymore. Just HOT now -- like the surface of a newborn baby star.)
Do I need to be in the advanced class and know the answer to everything Father Line knows to make changes in my life?
Not at all. But you could always try Commanding for more knowledge or intuition or how to acknowledge WHO you are better -- those things would pay immediate dividends. I know trying to manifest giant stacks of cash on our pillows is a pretty appealing target, but there's an infinite variety of things you can command for. Depending on the commitments and obligations you're carrying around, it may be 'easier' to work on stuff that's 'inside' first.
(Structurally, of course, it's all the same, but if you don't yet have that viewpoint, it might be worth trying a different tack.)
Can I have a basic understanding and be just as effective?
For sure. There's a lot of conversation going on around here, and a lot of it involves various 'lesser truths'. I'm especially involved in conversations around 'mental models' because I'm kind-of into it (shocking, I'm sure). None of that stuff is necessary to get what you want and it may or may not help you to understand. If it doesn't, feel free to ignore it and just focus on the stuff that does help you. In fact, you can just ignore all of it and go straight for the top. It's a pretty Sweet Deal, I hear.
...
So -- what does help you? What's unclear? How can YOU be helped?*
To build on what u/mossyeyes has said here, perhaps you, u/yashualang, created confusion for yourself by reading the Q&A, just as u/mossyeyes did by reading "The Kybalion." I'm referring to what you said:
I started reading through the Q&A and I just got utterly confused.
It sounds like you read the Q&A and said to yourself as the Sole Commander of your universe that you should be confused. You don't need to be confused—there's Nothing to this ;) Try commanding that your resolve/conviction about being ONE-Thing and the Sole Commander of your private dream be increased each day.
John_paolucci:* This is a good description of the bag in my last post:
"You’re as big as No-thing. So if you refer to something, nothing is all you’re left with in the last place anyway, just prior to your desired change. In other words, you’re left standing there holding the bag of something as your conditional means-whereby when nothing is all you would have needed."
You're above all this. You're not a realm-being. You don't need to look at a scorecard. You don't need to pay attention to trap doors. Look at what the traffic cop is saying at the top of this page on the right. Enjoy being that* for who you are and your desired return.
Also, get enough sleep. If you’re tired, you’ll likely find a ton of CEDs coming out of nowhere. No-thing is your rest state. Without enough rest, it will seem like nothing is going anywhere. :)
POST: Is there an element of parallel reality here?
Yes and no. The concept of "parallel realities" are a smaller truth. The bigger picture is that everything is expressed in the All-Dream, with every position of expression useful for expansion. And through infinite correlation, it all comes back to WHO. Check out this discussion from /r/JohnPaolucciTeachings below.
JPT MEMBER: In regards to this being my 'own private dream', is this as an emerging localized realm being or ONE all-person? So are other people in their own dream or is it my dream because everyone is me? I think I know the answer but I thought I'd get other's interpretations.
JOHN PAOLUCCI: Father Line: The only difference between you and Me is your localized perception’s conclusion. Conclusion or personal opinion is not enough substance to make a separate structural reality so that your dream is not Mine. Another definition is that My dream is an All-dream. All means you're included. My All dream wouldn’t be an All dream if it were divisible. It would be a parts dream. Here’s the ingenious part: Because My dream is indivisible, all of it fills your dream, just like all of Me fills the container you call you. You won’t perceive it that way with localized perception, but that doesn’t change the structural reality and functionality. Functionality means that the potential reach of your dream is a far as Mine – no boundaries.
Now, if I tell the same thing I’m telling you to another subscriber here, it may seem contradictory, but as My dream is indivisible, they can't be left holding the bag off out somewhere isolated so that only your dream is Mine. The most concise phrase to explain how that’s possible is My infinite correlation. Correlation: mid 16th century: from medieval Latin correlatio (n-), from cor- ‘together’ + relatio. (Latin relatio (n-), from referre ‘bring back’). The key to understanding what’s going on is to bring it all back to Me – Who, and why I am. Infinite correlation sets you up in such a way that as far as you’re concerned, you’re all alone in your private dream and there's no one else besides you in the universe. And that's a fully functional experience. Who’d ever of thunk, huh? :) See what I can do if I want? I can make you in My image and likeness. After all, as I'm all alone as first cause, it's all My private dream, right? You have to take a little time and put on your thinking cap for this one.
JPT MEMBER: So, however I choose to exercise my status of UL (even if in a way that is seemingly detrimental to someone else) is automatically inline with everyone else's line of expansion? Is that what you mean by infinite correlation?
JOHN PAOLUCCI: FL: When you fully know it's your private dream, and you want the center seat front row at a show you want to see, everyone wants something else, and you simply sit down.
What happens when the person sitting next to you at that show also fully knows it's his private dream (because of infinite correlation, all he knew is that anywhere on the front row was okay for him) and you both know that each other knows? Then you both look at each other in the face? Both of you smile at each other like the portrait of Father Line. Quite often you both just laugh. The phrase, "automatically inline with everyone else's line of expansion" is what I do no matter what you do, whether you can see that or not. Fully knowing it's your private dream means that you see it that way; "There is my seat." People around you who don't fully know it's their dream will say that miracles are always happening around you. That is unless you prefer that their attention is on something more practical and useful for them, which in a position of responsibility and guidance, is often your choice.
DREAMER AXELOS: To answer [JPT MEMBER]'s original question, and to put what John Paolucci said as Father Line into my own words, I like to think of the answer as both. This does require looking at different levels of the hierarchy of truth, but I believe it would be correct to say that other people are in their "own dream," just as they are also all Me. Because with infinite correlation, the experience of every isolated recipient is like a "TV channel" in the All-Dream. Everything is expressed, so everything aligns perfectly. There is room for every experience in the infinite All-Dream. Therefore, with the example of the front row seat, because there are infinite channels, everyone who knows they are in their private dream gets the front row seat. There is no contradiction because every experience is expressed when you have infinite correlation.
JOHN PAOLUCCI: Here's an addition to the comment, “Everyone gets the front row seat.”
There's a good reason for all those seats behind the front row, not just because there isn’t enough room for everyone to sit in the front. As an example, Lord Krishna was walking through a field and noticed a sow suckling her piglets. The mother pig was grunting, talking to her babies, and they were squeaking contentedly. Lord Krishna saw in this a beautiful expression of love. He entered the body of the sow to have the experience for a while. Krishna’s form disappeared, losing its identity in the mother pig. Months went by, and his friends began to wonder why he hadn't returned. They went to the field and saw the mother pig, happily surrounded by her piglets. “Krishna, my Lord, what are you doing? You said you were going to come out of that form after a while.” Krishna answered, “Oh this is such a sweet experience. I don’t want to leave.” After they convinced him to return, He emerged from the sow’s body, unchanged.
Another example is Admiral Kirk's demotion to Captain, where he again performed missions on the Enterprise which is what he loved. Admirals aren't assigned to hold command of Star-ships personally. They sit behind a desk, which was not where Kirk shined his best. Using the theater and seating as a metaphor, seat #183e towards the back left side of the theater is there for a good reason. It’s there for someone’s spot on their line of expansion in Fond Flow Effulgence. They’re having such a sweet experience, that they want to finish it before going on to their next adventure in endless effulgence. They know that there's plenty of time to enjoy everything. From a collective dream point of view, this is a reason why there's always room in the front row for someone who wants it. Each of us having a unique FFE is why each local universe has its single Creator.
mossyeyes: There are no 'others'. There is only you pretending to not be you. You're all alone here in this private dream. It might help to remember why that is. Having said that, there are certainly possibilities for parallel universes in your private dream. As you are the All-Pervasive All-Thing, you are occupying all 'possibilities' simultaneously, which includes alternate versions of the person you seem to be (plus of course all versions of all things, period). It's not particularly relevant to the theory, implementation and practice of Universal Line, however. That doesn't mean it can't be fun to 'pop in' on 'other' people's perspectives -- including alternate versions of your 'localized realm being'.
So can I just move into an alternate version of myself thats healthier, wealthier, and all the rest of the good stuff that realm being enjoy?
mossyeyes: Yeah. Of course.
One way of viewing the world (one of the many 'lesser truths') is that you are always moving into alternate versions of yourself.

POST: As far as I can tell, the sweet deal is the greatest...
In my opinion, the fact that you only have to do Nothing and simply trust your Best Friend is pretty sweet indeed.
I was just wondering about typical LOA overlapping with this methodology. When materialization happens, in terms of 'orthodox' LOA, where does that come from? I know that everything comes from universal line, whether we know it or not. But is it a case of that person unknowingly implementing this, finally after all the hard work getting to a point of complete stillness? One of the most prevalent sayings is "When I finally let go it manifested." Or, is it more a case of having tapped in to a lesser truth, somewhere lower in hierarchy than universal line, and was still able to eventually show results?
John_paolucci: Everything comes from Father Line including your question of overlap. Your “but” comes from Father Line also, so in UL methodology, there’s no incentive to make a division of overlap in the first place. THIS IS IT – Here I Am. Hard work getting to a point of complete stillness and finally letting go, are unnecessary validation events in the UL methodology. They’re called CEDs. Yes, you nailed it. Down the hierarchy, messenger guides and topic hosts, as well as a wide range of beings including departed family members, could have assisted in getting a return. Even Satan himself. Going to Father Line in the first place is like summoning a company president instead of its employees. If you write an open letter to the company and then get results, you can never be sure what level of employee was involved. Maybe you get lucky because the Postal Clerk has clout. No one unknowingly looks to UL/FL unless they know everything is ONE thing and that ONE thing is the fountainhead of all variations. Without that knowledge, some being within the hierarchy, who has an affinity with the person trying to attract a result, makes a connection and uses their influence. A greater truth is that it all comes from Father Line whether anyone is aware of what’s going on or not.
Fascinating stuff. Which is why 'success stories' from the various factions (Christianity, Law of Attraction, etc.) are nothing more than sporadic, and 'failure stories' so much more prevelant?
John_paolucci: That's a reasonable and appropriate lesser truth conclusion. Success stories from the UL faction could be the same, depending on how firm their conviction is in looking to UL. Some sympathetic influential being who took pity on their lack of conviction could have picked it up and ran with it. :) That's why I encourage not to hang on success stories, but to keep your gaze on non-change fact where it belongs.
Even sweeter?! Good that I have a sweet tooth.
John_paolucci: Good. Go get a full taste of Father Line.
Any proven results?
Karibou422: The world is a reflection of yourself, so if you haven’t gotten “proven” results no one else on the sub will have gotten them yet either ;-)
John_paolucci: Almost no one wants to hear how responsible they are for "the way things are." It's so cute when I hear FL covertly saying that He doesn't want to hear.
If they're smart, they'll put it to work with the sweet deal.
I hear you... I'm guilty of that... currently I swinging between "how the f dare she treat me that way" and " her behaviour is an illusion created by me"
John_paolucci: Put the #2 truth ahead of all that which is that "Father Line is treating me that way" and that you previously looked at it with #6 and #7 on the truths pyramid. Her behavior is created by Father Line for the most precious-majestic all-knowing reason. As far as guilt, Father Line is pleased with everything He does which is not devoid of 'you'. That's also a #2 truth.
Thanks John... lemme play devils advocate here just so that I can continue on my expansion path
So her current f up behavior is part of FL majestic plan So if I intend to fix her behavior, that now becomes FL majestic new plan am I right? And her F up behavior becomes known as CED? I'm asking the above from a place of EGO actually... But I would love it so much if I could get a apology from her... I know that doesnt seem enlightened behaviour, but as FL I'm entitled have fun and make her apologize right?
John_paolucci: Whatever you did and whatever you now intend, (including your question to me and my answer) is FL majestic plan. THIS IS IT.
Her F up behavior was always a FL majestic plan CED.
You could certainly have fun and make her apologize, which is a FL majestic plan. The only thing I would add is that you might ask yourself, “All alone, no one else besides me in the universe, all my private dream, what am I doing?”
POST: Difference between advanced financial and advanced portrait?
Essentially, they are the same, as the underlying Principle remains unchanged. One is manifesting a magical painting, the other magical money. However, AFGTUL is more recent and also more refined.
POST: Questions on the ten minutes command session.
To your first question, the answer is #2, not being concerned with having a tangible experience. There is no tangible experience of looking to UL, because everything is UL. So the lack of anything happening (or everything happening) can be interpreted as the correct procedure. Thus, it is more mechanical, rather than transcendental, as you said. You may still experience something during your session, but it's not required, and it's quite literally the same as experiencing nothing.
To your second question, you're only timing the ten minutes, not the individual "rounds" of acknowledgement, intention, and immersion. And though the sessions may feel like meditation, they're ultimately not, despite some similarity. You may use meditation as your starting point, but there's no specific breathing pattern or anything else needed that meditation may require. You're meant to emulate being ONE-Thing/UL by doing nothing for ten minutes. But you can do that with eyes open or closed and breathing however you wish. However you do it is still UL, so the smaller details aren't as important. The steps are designed to help you look to UL, but if you find you can just as easily look to UL while reading a book, taking a walk, or staring at clouds, then any of those things can be your session.
SillyLadyPickle: A command session is meant to help the individual acknowledge WHO they are. By taking a few moments away from the realm-being perspective/duties and simply sitting as the sole commander...that's why you review the prep sheet or whatever materials that remind you why you are WHO beforehand. I'd suggest going back to the materials and becoming more familiar with WHO you are...you're off the hook to do anything else.
Also, look through the posts and comments, they're very beneficial...John addresses many similar questions. :)
I read the materials, more that once. I've also read the posts, John's and all the others. I won't be asking questions otherwise. This discussion group seems to be very clear about going back to the documentation, so I made sure to that. I don't believe my questions, which are simple and to the point, have been answered. And if they have, maybe a different perspective will enlighten me. This is a discussion group is it not? Or is it merely a place holder for John's material?
SillyLadyPickle: It is a discussion, and I have answered your question...a command session is a reminder of WHO you are...not a step-by-step process.
The more you consider what it means to be WHO the more things makes sense.
Everything stems from UL and all variation is UL bending...really understanding this non-change fact is the answer to all of your questions, and that's why I suggested you revisit the materials...not because this is a place holder to John's materials.
It's all about WHO you are...the rest is a sweet deal. :)
Wanted to add-
There is nothing to experience or look for because that would imply that you are separate from WHO and require to find this "other" being or somehow "tap" into this cosmic thing that creates...all-pervasive, ONE-thing can't be anything other than itself at all times no matter how limited ones conclusions may be.
You're already WHO now and the session lets you simply be that by taking your attention away from the realm-being responsibilities.
I have four questions. And your reply is very clearly explained in the material, which as I've stated I have read. But thanks for your replies nonetheless.
SillyLadyPickle: I hope you get the clarity you're looking for. :)
POST: Feeling and emotions not needed?
You don't need anything verbal, either. Because Universal Line is literally everything—the experiencer, the experience, and the object of experience—there is no required feeling, perception, or experience to confirm looking to it. Take a look at page 7 of A Deeper Look at Your First Two Essentials.
This is where my past conditioning from neville goddard is resisting... cause I had learned that feelings need to be impressed on the subconscious cause the subconscious runs your life on auto mode
That's understandable. But you're not looking to your subconscious to manifest anything when using Universal Line. You're looking to the base fact of WHO You are, your still void. If you were looking to your subconscious, then what you said would be valid, yet it would also be putting WHAT before WHO.
Hmmm I see... so I take it that for this to work, I need to be aware that I'm the UL 24/7?
You do not need to be aware of UL 24/7 in order for it to work. A basic understanding of UL and the mechanics behind it are enough to use it (see page 13 of AFGTUL Part 1). However, continual awareness is the eventual goal. Let it come naturally, guided by your consideration of the facts and the results of your commands.
If not the subconscious will be the one carrying out the instructions? Is my understanding correct?
Remember, the subconscious has nothing to do with it. Your subconscious is part of systemic wave. Take a look at the proof loop and its explanation on page 37 of AFGTUL Part 1.

Nicholas Cage is always Nicholas Cage, no matter what... (r/ShrugLifeSyndicate)
...role he's portraying. No matter how much he gets into a role, he's still always and remains Nicholas Cage, and that never changes, across his seemingly countless roles. It's the same with God. God is a great actor. Each role God plays is different, and God throws godself into each of God's truly innumerable roles, but God remains God, always.
You are God pretending to be you, just like Nicholas Cage pretended to be a sorcerer with Brandon Long as his apprentice, or a pilot in a fetishized evangelical dispensationalist end times fantasy. You just got so into the role that you forgot. Once you remember, you can take control of your personal movie. But you'll try to prove to yourself that you're not God, so watch out.
Good luck.
...
This is all true, but it's also truth to say that the purpose of intentionally forgetting we're God is to eventually remember again. We're playing hide-and-seek with ourselves. Once we start to re-establish our identity as God—yet still remaining an isolated individuated consciousness (yet inseparate and still containing the whole)—the real adventure of endless possibilities begins.
Boredom is a kind of withdrawal from a drug. (Though, it's not that simple.) Growth is change we've deemed beneficial. (Of course, I'm being overly simplistic here.)
It may not be the loneliness, boredom, and growth as we understand it, but God as the only person in existence had no place to expand, so God became every being in existence in order that these beings could expand.
God isn't like that. He is a very good actor. You'll never remember him.
The metaphor may not be perfect, but whether you remember you're God is up to you ;)

An active reality manipulation technique: "cloud busting" (r/ShrugLifeSyndicate)
Greetings fellow shruggists!
I wanted to present an active reality manipulation technique to you all with which I've had great success. It's straightforward to use, and pretty fun, but it also helps you to wrap your head around the idea that everything is part of the same Dream. I call it "cloud busting."
In short, you use it to actively erase clouds in the sky. Here's how:
- Find a small wispy cloud. By small, I mean a cloud that's about the size of half your thumb (the part past the joint) when you hold it up to the sky and close one eye. By wispy, I mean a cloud that isn't completely solid white (i.e. you can see the wispy cotton-candy strands of cloud in it). Eventually, as you improve your skill, you can move on to clouds that are both bigger and less wispy.
- Stare at the cloud with the will-less will to make it disappear. Basically, just stare at it with the vague intention in the back of your mind that it disappear. Too little willpower and nothing will happen; too much, and you won't get the results you want (e.g. your cloud might grow instead, or nothing at all will happen). It's a delicate balance. Try to keep a more or less blank mind while you do this—it helps to do it while walking or during another activity that uses up some portion of your attention (don't do anything unsafe; also note that you don't have to constantly stare at the cloud—just intermittently "check in" on it while constantly holding the vague intention, however the longer you can look at it, the better).
- Watch the cloud actively change shape, shrink, and/or break apart, then disappear. Continue to maintain your vague intention ("will-less will") during this step. You'll know that you've been successful if the cloud disappears completely within 1–3 minutes (longer is okay, too, but the longer it takes, the further into the realm of random chance you'll be going; if you can consistently bust a cloud within this timeframe, it's more obvious that it's not just random chance). Once the cloud has dissipated, look at the other clouds in the immediate area around it. They're unaffected, aren't they? You weren't focusing on them.
- Take a break while enjoying your handiwork. You just evaporated thousands of pounds of water in the sky miles away from you—in mere minutes. Pat yourself on the back! If this your first cloud busting experience, you may want to just do the one cloud for today. At the novice stage, doing more than a few clouds in a session can lead to erratic results, and this can be discouraging. You'll get better with time and be able to handle more clouds in one session.
Why does this work? As I mentioned above, everything is part of the same Dream, and you're the Dreamer. Just how every object or person in your dreams at night are part of you, so is every object and person in reality part of the same All-Dream, which is also your dream. So, you're dreaming every cloud in the sky, which also means that they're part of you and you control them.
It's also easier for your mind to accept that a cloud might "randomly disappear" while you stare at it. Intellectually, you'll know that the chances of this consistently and quickly happening are very slim, but it's still easier to wrap your head around. And that's the beauty of it—in the All-Dream, clouds are no different than any other object or person, so you can use this as a stepping-off point for bigger and better things. If you have trouble accomplishing the cloud busting, take some time to think about the principle of everything being part of the same Dream, and let it sink into your mind. It also helps to meditate beforehand—just a simple "being" meditation (i.e. sitting with your eyes closed, focusing on nothing but your breathing, and letting thoughts simply come and go). Meditating like this, even for 5–10 minutes, will help to "loosen up" your consciousness.
Happy busting!

POST: Can someone fully explain “Everyone is you pushed out”? (/r/NevilleGoddard/)
Put simply, God contracted godself and became an infinite number of beings—like putting on a glove, with each finger being a different person. In other words, everyone is the same consciousness, so when you look around you, you are seeing yourself. There is no separation.
POST: Can someone answer this for me? (/r/NevilleGoddard/)
All is possible. Just because you don't see others doing something, doesn't mean it's not possible for you. This universe is your reality, your private dream—and maybe your dream is that you're the first one to fly.
POST: New to the sub. not new to LOA (/r/NevilleGoddard/)
The best way to manifest is to focus less on the how and more on the who. Rather, who is it that is doing the manifestation? The source of everything—money, skills, relationships, physical appearance, even you and me—is all the same person (One Unlimited Infinite Being, or "God"). The next time you manifest, remember that the return of your manifestation is coming from you, because you are God. Manifest from this perspective, and your difficulties will disappear.

POST: Hiding from God - Help? (/r/NevilleGoddard/)
Thankfully, the best way to change your reality isn't dependent on mere desire. It's dependent on knowledge (or a growing realization) of who you are. You are an infinite unlimited being (i.e. "God"). The game of hide and seek that you mentioned ("hiding in the bushes") therefore is a game that you're playing with yourself.
Why? You are giving yourself an opportunity. By contracting, you can expand. It's about the experience. You are infinity, and this is the experience you have chosen to have—to learn, to grow, to evolve. The limits and barriers are part of that game of hide and seek, and you are both the one behind the barriers as well as the barriers themselves. The barriers are a clever illusion; you'll do everything you can to trick yourself for the sake of the game (i.e. your expansion).
So realize that this is all a game, and you're the only one playing. You are all alone as God, the Supreme Being of the universe, and therefore you are the only one in control. The instant you decide to stop playing this particular game is the same instant that you know you can have that fresh start—and anything else.

POST: Trying to understand. Gate keepers keeping me barred (/r/awakened/)
The OP in the image is not ascended—just high. They're correct saying that everything comes from nothing, but the rest should be taken with a grain of salt. Anyone who comes to a full realization of who they are as an unlimited infinite being also realizes that they are God, so they don't need to "compete with God himself." Furthermore, as God, you are also the source of all creativity, so you will never be bored.
Myself, God. I am here because I purposely forgot my divinity, to ensure novelty. Keeping me "out" from... wherever I came from. I'm not sure what that is, exactly - only that what there is here, isn't all there is. I lack the ability to explain.
You're exactly right that you purposely forgot who you are in order to ensure novelty. But saying that you came from a place that you are no longer able to reach isn't the best way to frame the situation. What has changed is your perspective. You've limited yourself to the view of a finite being, but you never stop being God, just as H20 never stops being H2O between different states (water, ice, vapor). Remember who you are.
POST: Frustrated and Lost (/r/awakened/)
Does God bargain with himself about the means when he wants to accomplish something? No, he is, so he does—simple as that. It's the same for you, because you are God. So you don't need to bargain with yourself, either. You don't need TM, you don't need tarot, you don't need chakras, and you certainly don't need to do anything you don't want to do. Work instead at realizing who you are (an unlimited infinite being), and then go from there for anything else.
I LOVE how this sounds. I have difficulty letting go. I get caught up in my own issues and wanting to do things in an order or find xyz milestone etc... If I can figure out how to just 'be' I would be so much better off.
We all do :) Start with the basic facts. You may be interested in this [Universal Line].

Read whatever helps you realize that you are an unlimited infinite being. The path to enlightenment is a lot easier when you focus on the who rather than the how. Right now, you're God (the unlimited, infinite supreme being) choosing to have the experience of being a finite being. As a finite being, you can take the long, winding road to enlightenment, or you can decide that you're already home, because you never stopped being God.

Regardless of the function of the pineal gland, the experience of having-a-pineal-gland has no impact on jumping. You are simply shifting your subjective experience—anything you would think of as "physical" has nothing to do with accomplishing the jump.

The concept of "jumping dimensions" is just a metaphor. What you're actually doing is shifting the patterns of your subjective personal experience—adding things to it and removing things from it—so the numbers 982, 986 are actually irrelevant. It might be more helpful to think of your world as a private dream, and jumping as merely changing different aspects of it.
POST: Very odd and uncomfortable sensation (/r/DimensionJumping/)
Have you considered giving into that feeling of waking up?
I’ve thought about it, but I’m ultimately too much of a wuss, to put it bluntly.
What do you think might happen?
I have absolutely no idea. That’s what makes me scared
Totally understandable. I have no idea what you'll find either if you wake up, but whatever it is, it will be part of your journey. Your universe is your own, and every experience has been arranged behind the scenes for you to help further your personal cosmic development. If you don't take the leap now, your behind-the-scenes management might offer you another chance later, or a different way to accomplish whatever growth this is meant to help you achieve.
Thanks I appreciate this. Here’s my question (which may no have an answer) why is the feeling accompanied by fear? If it’s for my development, why does it feel so negative and nihilistic? Is the negative necessary for growth?
I'm not saying this is the right answer, but I believe a lot of the fear is a matter of your current finite perspective. You're faced with a boundary, and you don't know what's on the other side. But the truth is that you're already on the other side, because you're God, and you're all pervasive. In this life however, you've limited yourself in order to have new experiences—and this is one of them.
This is an opportunity to expand from your current position. If the fear however makes you too uncomfortable, don't do it—you never have to do anything you don't want to.

Fortunately, you don't need to do any of this to manifest the things that you desire. It's not about visualization—it's about knowing WHO you are as an unlimited infinite being (God). God doesn't need to visualize anything to manifest. He simply does. And as God, you can do the same.
...
Ah, I see. My advice doesn't change, however. Start from a place of knowing WHO you are.
POST: I just did the two glasses method (/r/DimensionJumping/)
Remember, you're changing your subjective personal experience, rather than something that's "out there" like "reality" (there's no difference between your personal experience and what's "out there"). The Two-Glasses Method is more useful for small changes to your experience, rather than something that would completely overwrite an already established fact (i.e. the circumstances of your birth). Therefore, in this instance, it's more likely that your life will shift toward making something like a sex-change operation either within (or closer to being within) your reach.
If you're interested in a more in-depth rewrite of your experience, check out the works of Neville Goddard (visit /r/NevilleGoddard). If you want to go further than that, check out John Paolucci's material. As far as feeling dizzy, everyone's results may be different. You can take this as confirmation of your experiment working, at least to some degree.
Hey hey! Why are you messing with beginner's luck? Wait for the unknown results (he said he's gonna update). Then go for the words of wisdom. Unless... you have some sort of device with a limited time-window to get your reply into another dimension? In that cause please tell us about it! Likewise, if you have a really good oracle, or have found some secret to unlocking precognition, etc.
You're right :) It would've been better to wait for his results. I may have been jumping the gun. But personally, I would have preferred someone to give me the same advice years ago when I was using the Two-Glasses Method.
POST: Please help ... a spell that going back to physically change the past. (/r/magick/)
All possibilities are true—everything can be changed, including the past. That said, my sympathies for whatever situation you're currently experiencing; I don't know what it is, but it sounds like it's difficult to go through. I don't mean to sound unsympathetic, but it is possible that whatever is happening to you is a necessary part of your spiritual journey of expansion toward realizing WHO you truly are. Personally, looking back upon my life so far, I can see how many difficult events have worked toward preparing me to be able to understand the fundamental truth of reality. Those events were orchestrated by higher spiritual powers for my own benefit, despite how hard they were to experience. The same may be true of your current situation.
However, that doesn't mean the past can't be changed, although your current emotions may hinder you. Once you realize and know that you are in fact an unlimited infinite being (that is, God, the ONE All-Person and creator of all reality), changing the past is simple. Yet it may take a while to get there. If you want to start that journey, read these texts [Universal Line].
POST: I have dedicated my life searching a real initiation but found nothing... (/r/occult/)
The reality that you've described is the result of the conclusions that you've determined. You have decided that the world is a certain way, and your universe responds in kind. When you decide that true magical power is real, then it will be real for you—you are the one who is limiting yourself.
...
You’re welcome. The fact that you have limited yourself isn’t a bad thing, however—you have an opportunity now to overcome those limits. Try this exercise [The Act is The Fact - Part One: An Exercise, by TG]. I’d recommend starting small as you build your confidence and expand your idea of what’s possible (all is possible, but the reality of what happens is dependent on you).
POST: Novice Question - Tarot legitimate Divination (/r/occult/)
Tarot's great, but any technique (e.g. tarot) is essentially a middleman or indirect go-between. You'd be better off working toward a fuller realization of who you are as unlimited infinite being—in other words, going to the source of all knowledge.

Do you think its possible to travel to them?
All is possible, it's up to you.
theres a subreddit for dimension jumping, but all the experiments they tell you to try to prove it works are just based on selective attention. Like the "proof" you jumped is seeing more owl related stuff, which of course you will because you'll be looking for more owl related stuff.
It should be mentioned r/DimensionalJumping isn't really about physically jumping dimensions (although it is a possibility). The idea of "dimensional jumping" in the context of the subreddit is a metaphor for altering your personal subjective reality. So the notion of selective attention is irrelevant—if you start seeing more of something (e.g. owls), your personal subjective reality has shifted.
I agree with that interpretation but I know not everyone on that sub does you know, it seems like there was a mix of both
And that's the main reason why it was closed. The intention of the sub was as I described, but it got overwhelmed with people who didn't understand.
POST: How does “the occult” view Enlightenment/Awakening? (/r/occult/)
I think you'll find many different views, but true enlightenment comes from a full realization of who you are as an unlimited infinite being. The idea of infinite possibilities or universes naturally follows from there.

The same as you, just someone on a journey of more fully realizing that infinite potential.

POST: OCD and fear of manifesting! Help! (/r/occult/)
I can sympathize. I've dealt with OCD. Remember that random thoughts will not manifest anything—it's more based on focused intent. You're safe.
However, if it makes you feel better, try this: create a document (a Google or Word doc is fine). At the top, title it "My Manifestation Document." Then write a few lines or a paragraph specifying that only what is written in the document will serve as the content of your manifestation, and nothing else; that unless it is written down, it will not be manifested. Then write that the things in the document will only be manifested in the best ways possible, with no unintended negative side effects. From there, I would write headers with the date on which you are writing, and then subheaders for each thing you want to manifest.
Speaking as someone who has dealt with OCD, I think this will help :)
Q: Hey, DreamerAxelos!
Thank you so much for your kind message.
I am somehow confused about how things work. Some people speak about mere thoughts, other about intention. Do you have a book/source that made you chill when you were worried with this (if that was the case)? Maybe your own experience then?
I will try the document thing, I liked the idea!
As I'm changing my meds, some of my paranoias over the occult gained again some strength. Now I consider learning more about Abraham-Hicks. And even some Carl Sagan to mitigate my worries lol.
Again, thank you!
Cheers!
Anytime, my friend. Every book is going to say something different, and they will often contradict each other. Ultimately, you have to rely on yourself, along with the knowledge that you are the one who creates your reality (because you are your reality). You-as-yourself having an experience of reality in which you struggle with OCD—that's the lesser truth. The greater truth is that you're in control of it all. And speaking as someone who's dealt with significant OCD, I know how that likely sounds as if I'm being condescending or unsympathetic, but I truly don't intend that. These are boundaries to transcend, but to be clear, I'm not saying to discontinue your meds or anything like that. Start by reading and studying these texts if you are interested [Universal Line].
P.S. I have successfully used the manifestation document method myself to create things ranging from money to furniture to life events.

Yes, this idea of control is freaking me out. I'm not sure yet if I'm good with my awakening proccess hahah. But it is surely good to know that someone with OCD overcame such an metaphysical obsession.
About the texts: I know almost nothing about the occult, and I still kinda fear it overall. I'm in a unstable and suggestible state in the moment. With this, do you think it's a good/safe idea for me to read them?
For now, I will be more biased to believe in the intention part, I will practice your document method and hang on things that makes me happy/confortable.
Thanks!
I completely understand. There are some parts of the texts I suggested that may possibly be difficult to deal with in your current state, especially between meds. The parts in particular are essentially a fuller explanation of how the Law of Attraction works—framing it in a different context—but if you are struggling with the idea of attraction right now, perhaps hold off.
Do what you can right now, but remember that you will get through this. I did, and so can you. I believe that most people (at least in this reality) who expand their self and claim real magical power often first pass through some sort of gauntlet. This gauntlet, so to speak, is often what leads them to the first steps of their metaphysical quest in the first place. Your OCD might be your gauntlet. In any case, I'm here if you need me.
POST: Ascension vs “sorcery”- Questions from a beginner (/r/occult/)
There's nothing wrong with doing magic to improve your life. Everything is experience. Behind the curtain, God has intentionally limited themself to an infinite number of finite perspectives (including yours and mine) in order to experience life from those perspectives. It's what God loves to do. So enchant away!
As far as reading recommendations, the broadest source you can go to is here [Universal Line].
omegaaces: Their seems to be this (frightfully almost Christian, in my opinion) view that since life on Earth is somewhat of an illusion, it doesn’t matter, and should be pretty much ignored as it is distasteful. Any magical effort for your own worldly sake is sorcery and inherently evil.
There does seem to be this view. I disagree with it however, because I don't think God/Source/The All is divided from this world at all. This world being an illusion doesn't have to mean anything negative.
And the earth exists, my body and my personality exist, at least right now. What is so wrong about enchanting for a nicer life and enjoying sex, if I’m not hurting anyone?
Really though :)
Or is this push for ascension common in Occultism?
Maybe it's just what I read in the past, but it does seem to be the common theme.
Are there broader sources you could give me that teach the basics of the occult with a more open idea of what you can do with it?

POST: I Have Had an Insidious Awakening. (/r/occult/)
Some encouragement, if I may. The experience you spoke of is a lesser truth. The more complete truth is that everyone and everything is part of the same consciousness. At a lower level (which you describe), we are indeed being held against our will, in the sense that we are subject to the whims of the world, and everything seems to be against us. However, at a higher level, we have chosen to live in this reality as an opportunity to grow and evolve before eventually rejoining the whole (though we never stop being the whole). You are the dreamer of your reality, just as God is the dreamer of the all-reality. You decide what happens, and this is something you can test in your subjective experience.
== Thank you, this puts it in perspective. I hadn’t stepped back and viewed it as a whole rather than a singular experience. We have chosen to be here and cheers to the experience 🌻👏🏽==
You're welcome, friend! To your quote from Zhuangzi: "who am I that dreams, or am I merely dreamt of?" You are both dreaming and dreamt of. Your reality is your personal private dream, but the ultimate all-consciousness ("God") is also dreaming an all-dream that includes a smaller dream of being kapatikora.
I like the concept of a bowl of consciousness. At birth we take a mouth full from it and engage the human experience. When we die we vacate our mouthful. Forever the same all-together, yet different as individuals. Almost like we are all tentacles 🐙 from the trillion armed octopus. God is the whole creature and we are all vectors of god
Those are perfect metaphors! I would add, however, that a great many of us keep our mouthful of consciousness for a long number of lives. But you are absolutely right that the goal is to eventually merge back into the all-consciousness; though, as you pointed out with your trillion-armed octopus, we never actually separate from God, either.
POST: DREAMERS: I NEED HELP (/r/occult/)
First of all, no one thinks you're crazy :) Anyone here has a less-than-mainstream view of reality! Second, it sounds like you've been through a lot. I'm so sorry that you've had to deal with nightmares, insomnia, and this type of stress for so long in your life. That said, wanting to understand your experience means you're on the right track. Before I go further, though, I want to say that you never have to do anything you don't want to. If undertaking this challenge makes you in any way uncomfortable, you don't have to do anything :)
You can have a wonderful and fulfilling experience in this life with or without dreaming.
however, as I've grown older, I can't escape the feeling like I'm blocking out a very important part of who I am and my overall life experience.
We all have beneficent spiritual managers/guides/hosts watching over our earthly journey. They help us advance along the path laid out for us in our lives—the path we've agreed to before incarnating on this planet. If you feel that you're blocking out an important part of who you are, it might be because you are. It's very likely that you've been given the gift of dreaming as a way to grow spiritually. In any case, your hosts want to see you make progress, and they only have your best interests in mind. If you want, you can speak out loud to them and ask them for advice/guidance. They will hear you, and if the time is right, they will respond in a clear way.
The lucid dreaming, or maybe some kind of projection, also led to an incredible amount of deja vu in waking life.
[...]
Though I can count those dreams on two hands, they have all been eerily resonant in my adult life.
Your inner dream world is a microcosm of your outer dream world—in truth, there is no difference between them, so it makes sense that the outer would reflect the inner. u/larknot suggested starting a lucid dreaming practice; I would agree that this would probably be helpful.
Here's wishing you all the best on your journey forward!

Another Metaphor for Understanding ONE-THING
In the Discord, a fairly common topic of conversation is understanding why 2 things ultimately equal 1 thing. Or: 'Why am I ONE-THING and why does that mean that I have complete authorship integrity of my private dream?'
Since 'different strokes for different folks' seems to be in play, here's another metaphor that may help. All the usual caveats and disclaimers apply. Imagine, if you will, a Tree.
A Tree has Branches and each Branch may have more Branches that hang off of them, and so on with more Branches until they're itty-bitty. At the end of all the Branches, you might have Leaves or Flowers or Nuts or Fruits. At no point does the Tree ever stop being a Tree, right? Every Branch is still the Tree. Every flower, every nut, every fruit is still Tree. Every Leaf is still Tree. Any one of those Leaves can send a signal back to the Tree to say, 'Hey! The sun is shifting over there! Let's move!' or 'Uh oh, looks like it's time to huddle up for the winter!' or 'OW! THOSE STUPID BEETLES ARE BACK'.
And if one of those Leaves sends a signal up that says, 'WINTER IS COMING', all the Leaves change color. The whole Tree obeys the signal from that one 'little' Leaf -- because that Leaf is still Tree. In this metaphor, you are the Leaf. Being the Leaf, you are still the Tree and will always be the Tree, no matter what else you may or may not be (or what color you may be) at any given point in time.
...
But we don't feel connected in that way!
From your current perspective, it may look and feel like you're just one leave among millions. There may be so many leaves and fruits and nuts that you can't even see the branches, let alone the tree -- and you are only connected by that one little stem, right...?
But that's all perception. It doesn't change the fact that you're a Leaf on a Tree and that you will always be Tree. Just because you can't see that stuff or feel that stuff doesn't make it any less true. You can't actively 'see' or 'feel' the other side of the planet, but you'd probably conventionally agree that it exists, right? Conventionally, you probably don't 'feel' the perspective of another human being, like a war refugee or something, but you wouldn't say those things don't exist, right? What about other planets, stars, galaxies? You probably wouldn't say you feel those in daily experience -- do they exist or don't they? Do they stop existing when it's day time and you can't see them either?
Strictly speaking, these sorts of experiences are not a requirement for this work, but you can absolutely experience that feeling of interconnection. When you say 'we don't feel connected in that way', you are speaking purely from your u/Glaome perspective, a perspective that is limited deliberately. Not all of us are limited in that way. HAVING SAID ALL THAT, it's all a little outside the scope of this particular metaphor though. This metaphor is just to provide another way of thinking about why ALL things are really just ONE-THING.
But in order to command our universe we must know that we are Universal Line. How can we know that is true without feeling it?
You 'know' lots of things are true without feeling it, don't you?
It isn't necessary to have a deeply rooted knowledge/understanding of the fact that you're Father Line in order to work with this material (though it can certainly help). You just need a cursory understanding of how and why you are WHO you are in order to get started. The materials say to act on Principle -- there is no particular experience or feeling associated with being Universal Line, because the All-Pervasive All-Thing is all experiences and feelings and sensations concurrently, including the experience of NO-THING. You can do this in several ways. You can 'prove' it to yourself intellectually, through the logical steps. You can decide you don't need the logic at all, and just 'decide' it's true (which is ultimately what you're doing anyway). You can 'look for proof'. There are lots of ways forward.
And if you can't prove it to yourself, nobody here is going to think you 'just couldn't cut it' or that you're less of a person for looking for a different way of thinking that's closer in line to what you might otherwise prefer. John's material also says that the first 'partial returns' usually aren't the thing you're commanding for, but usually more information about WHO you are. Your experience may vary, but don't make the mistake of 'I'm not getting any results' when you might be getting some kind of 'result' and just missing it.
I'll add that maybe it might be fun to try and manifest exactly what you're looking for in the form of 'feeling that I am Universal Line' or 'feeling interconnected with all things' or whatever else. There are more things to look for than fat stacks of cash (though those are great too).
John_paolucci:* Listen up: CED's don't have to go away.* If you're walking down a sidewalk and find someone walking by your side, you don't mind and just continue to your destination.
"I'm sort of stuck on.." is a CED. "...is making me block myself" is a CED. "I don't know how to untangle ..." is a CED.
'"feeling" unready and seeking..." is a CED "I feel like I'm going crazy." is a CED. "I'm caught in the same loop." is a CED. "but it's the leap of CAI that's getting me into this whole mess." is a CED.
"...in turn I'm producing CEDs." Check again: Father Line is producing CEDs. not you. He told you why and what to do about them.
Take another look at the last image on p.16. Are those scrolls which Father Line is holding, only there after CEDs go away? If not, you're good to go. If not, then who cares about whatever CEDs are doing or not doing? Keep your eye on the prize. If you were swinging a baseball bat, I'd say keep your eye on the ball.
Your 10 minutes may even seem like a three-ring circus of crazies, but who cares? Let it entertain you if you like :) FL is enjoying Himself, so why shouldn't you?
If you didn't believe FL when He told you that you don't have to respond to CEDs, then I don't know what to say to you except see if you can bolster up your understanding of why He said you don't need to respond – the facts behind it.
Who Father Line is and what He does either is or isn't. Fatih doesn't enter into it. If something about FL doesn't make sense, ask here.

Just a reminder for all of you who are finding yourself frustrated with your lack of returns or are studying and studying and studying with no end in sight...
Remember that you're playing a monumental game of Hide and Seek with YOURSELF. This is supposed to be FUN!
If you're not having fun, if you're not enjoying the game, change the way you're playing it. Play may result in 'failure', but even 'failure' can be fun when you're playing a game. It's all inconsequential then and doesn't mean anything -- and that is one of the many accurate structural truths about the universe. Most things are more fun when you don't take them so seriously!
Play with your content of attention and see if YOU like that better. Don't worry about messing it up -- you can't!
So maybe take a deep breath, laugh at how silly YOU are (and have been and will be again in the future) and try again.

celestiashimmer8: This is awesome, thanks for posting it. I often feel like I need to do something when I don’t get results. Need to study more, need to understand this better. But then I forget I’m always-already there and Father Line is always-already there, wherever I am. Like you said, the failures are part of the fun because they’re not really failures and I chose them.
It all just comes down to Principle.
What exactly do you do in a 10 Minute Command Session?
First, an obligatory reminder to re-read the texts (or watch the videos) and take your time with it. The texts are not designed to be gobbled up in quick succession and repeated readings will deepen your knowledge of the subject matter. If you started with the 10 Minute Command Session, take a step back and go through Advanced Financial Gain Through Universal Line Part 1. It matters, because this text (and the others) include all the information about why this works (IE - WHO you are).
Please note that the 10 Minute Command Session is NOT a 'Magic Recipe'. It is not a 'If I do X, Y and Z then I will get A' sort-of business. If you approach the 10 Minute Command Session from this angle, relying on 'steps' and 'procedure', you may not find what you're looking for. (Then again, you might -- it's your Dream after all.)
So what is the 10 Minute Command Session?
- Review WHO you are and WHY this works (IE - Preparatory Resolve)
- Set your intention for what it is you're commanding (IE - "Simply being Universal Line, I now become my $10K manifested instantly and in full.")
- Remember WHO you are (IE - Look to yourself as Universal Line)
- Do this for 10 minutes, each time returning to your Intention and then Remembering WHO you are every time you find yourself out on a thought
That's it. There are no experiences to have and no perceptions associated with the work. Because you are WHO you are, you don't have any excuses for it not to work either. In fact, because of WHO you are, you are already doing it. You always are.
If things seem unmanageable for some reason, you can practice several 'remedial' measures, like 'active command inclusion' (IE - Decide that whatever is happening in your life right now is actually causing your intention to manifest). These things boil down to just remembering WHO you are and trusting yourself to take care of it. The word choices John uses in the text and videos go several layers deep, but they are all pretty deliberate. Once you have a grip on the metaphors that are being used, you can use your own metaphors to deepen your understanding.
It's my understanding that the 10 Minute Command Session is superseded by the 'Sweet Deal' (which makes sense given the overall evolution of this process towards simplification), so it may not be worth an in-depth exploration. Consider this mildly historical information that may or may not help you in your endeavors.

*Q: Thanks for this u/mosseyeyes. Can I just get clarification on the steps please. I'll explain it in my own words, and maybe you can comment if I understand (or not)?
- Step 1: I intend here as the wave knowing I'm the ocean. The intention is subtle. So no visualization, first-person imaginary scene, etc. OAP knows exactly what I want so none of this is necessary (I put my trust in a very reliable friend). Step 1 can be spoken words, but I suspect the speaking part should become redundant as I progress in the knowledge of who I am.
- Step 2: I've left the diving board, and almost in a state of limbo, I prep for immersing myself by acknowledging I am universal line, leaving all experiences, perceptions and excuses behind. Therefore nothing is to be expected or anticipated, as I'm leaving everything behind right here. No spoken words here, simply a knowing. This step should become almost redundant as well, as the knowledge of who I am will make this process progressively more seamless.
- Step 3: This is where the magic happens even though no experience, perception or excuses exist. 'Excuses' not in the sense of 'I (systemic I) have no excuse to fail', but simply being universal line there are no excuses to be had. I don't intend here. I've left that behind at step 1. Where step 2 is the knowing, step 3 is the being. All alone, fully in control: my own private dream (although 'my own private dream' feels out of place at this point as acknowledging this would acknowledge perception/experience?) .
Thank you in advance.*
This is pretty close. I note that you have a big emphasis on stillness and subtlety here -- this isn't really necessary. This sounds like a carryover from some of the other kinds of Manifestation work that maybe you've done before?
As an Experiencer you will almost certainly have an Experience. By which I mean that even having an experience of floating in a still void is still an experience. If a certain visualization feels good, if you want to speak your intentions out loud, if you want to chant Ia Ia Cthulhu Ptaghn!, you can do all of that. The only thing you don't want to do is make the mistake of believing that what you visualize or speak or intend of whatever has anything to do with your success. Your Success comes from being WHO you are. So metaphorically -- When you're submerged in the ocean, you can wave your hand around the water all you want (making waves), but the only thing that matters is that the ocean is in contact with your skin.
This equally means you don't have to do anything (up to and including the 10 Minute Command Session) because WHO you are is always doing everything. You are the ocean, so you're always in contact with it. The 'Steps', in that sense, are completely irrelevant. Once you 'make the jump' (Step 2), you may or may not find 'Limbo'. Whatever you find is fine. You don't need to worry about it. Though you will almost certainly have an Experience, whatever it is doesn't matter for all the same reasons I said above. For example, probably 80% of my dedicated attempts for Command in any given Command Session make me feel kind-of amused. That playful, mischievous little smile you see all over John's work? I totally understand that.
"HERE I AM, in my Private Dream, watching myself watch myself."
Or if I find myself on a CED it's often the same. "HERE I AM, in my Private Dream, watching God try to understand how and why he's God." Kind of funny, right!? Sometimes I laugh out loud when I notice. But the humor doesn't mean anything. I could have any experience and it would be equally irrelevant. It's just one flavor of how I respond to my Command.
My other 20% of commands may result in all kinds of random stuff, like a trip to Mars or Saturn's Rings (I keep leaving myself boxes up there?) or a gush of choir music, or a sudden warmth emanating from my hands. I get a lot of mid-forehead itching. None of that stuff means anything. It doesn't mean I failed, it doesn't mean I was successful, it doesn't mean anything independently of the value I assign it. So I remain detached and let it go and just return to doing what I was doing previously.
Because I ALREADY AM THAT, I am always creating my world 100% of the time. The world then proves back to me what I've already commanded for.
So what you need to understand is that:
- You're already doing it (and in fact, can't not do it)
- You can't do it wrong (because you are already always doing it)
- You make all the rules so however you do it is ultimately fine
- Whatever happens, happens because you told it to happen (IE - Everything in your world is a direct response to what you've commanded)
In that sense, in 'Step 3' where you say 'This is where the magic happens', that's not really accurate. The magic is always already happening. You're just becoming aware of it. Becoming aware (acknowledging, as you say) that you are the cause of everything that's happening.
Even in your 'Step 3', you can acknowledge perception/experience -- you're not looking for some endless empty void (which would just be another experience anyway). You just don't hang on it. You're having an experience, sure, but whatever experience you're having doesn't matter for the purposes of this work.
Empty Void is structurally no different than Saturnalia Vacation which is no different than Choirs and Heavenly Light which is no different than thinking about the trip you're taking to the beach tomorrow. You are absolutely correct that Step 1 and 2 become redundant as you acknowledge WHO you are. In another thread about the 10 Minute Command Session, I distilled the whole process down to the last two pieces (Remember WHO you are - Do this for 10 minutes or as long as you want to). Remember that Steps are Wave, so while they may have practical utility in your current perspective, that at the end of the day you don't need them.
Does that clarify things?
It's not really about the methodology, it's about knowing who I am. That trumps everything. Nothing wrong with experience. It's just not about that.
EXACTLY this.

POST: Question about command sessions
It might help to flip the view around a little.
Conventionally, localized realm beings often seem think that the world is 'out there'. But that's not really accurate even from a conventional view and it's wildly inaccurate from a view of Universal Line. We think, 'I am sitting here, next to a computer, inside a house, which is on a street' so forth and so on. We relate to everything as though it is external.
But if you remember WHO you are, you remember that everything that is happening 'out there' is actually happening 'in here'. It's all inside of you. Even from a slightly 'lesser truth' perspective, all the world your u/CorvoTheBlazerAttano self encounters is just that identity with all its flavor 'pushed out' so that it seems to be external. It's all still inside you. You say 'I now become' to remind yourself that you already are that. You are not just u/CorvoTheBlazerAttano but also the computer, the chair, the house, the street, the world and yes even your $10K which exists/doesn't exist based purely on your current (probably limited) perception and conclusion. You don't 'have' stuff, you are stuff. Your world reflects what you are, not what you have. Which is why, of course, the only thing you really have to do is remember WHO you are.
I mean, I know that ultimately I am everything, but this particular realm being wants to have that thing right now.
'Wanting' implies a separation between YOU and whatever it is that you want, right?
But there is no separation. The separation is just an illusion. There is only YOU and YOU pretending to not be you. So you use the words 'I now become' to remind yourself that you are already the thing you think is separate. It's just a convenient perceptual trick until you internalize WHO you are better. A 'lesser truth' might be that it seems to be easier to get stuff that you don't really want -- maybe because you aren't so fixated on the 'apparent' separation. But that wasn't really the question here!
SillyLadyPickle: The words point to being ONE-thing...UL bends and variation is experienced...you are 10k because you are UL...no separation just a bend. The words aren't necessary...they don't have any inherent power to create...they're just reminders of WHO. All you truly need to do is acknowledge WHO you are... you're off the hook to do anything else. :)
yashualang: You need to understand it a little better and than you would know. When you say that you “become” your $10,000, the “become” is very important. Because when you are One-all thing you can shift wave to become that money because it’s you. Everything is you.
I did a couple of command sessions before I realized this. Look on page 7 of the document “a deeper look”- “If you’re not really clear on this, you’re going to feel foolish...”
If you can’t remember it you are playing tricks on yourself. It’s best to do command sessions and know the phrase. I wrote the phrase on the wallpaper of my phone for quick reference when I was in a command session. This was useful to me. If you are completely lost by my response look at the materials again. The more I read the materials over and over I understand deeper. At first it seems so strange but you’ll understand better in time. Simple ideas and phrases seem so alien, but in time you’ll get it.
POST: Help learning?
I like to think this is a simple way to look at it:
You are God. Not some Smiling-Maybe-Benevolent-Bearded-Man-In-The-Sky but the thing that makes up the universe. You are everything that ever was and ever will be, you are every potential and every possibility. Because you are already everything and therefore have no reason to do anything except because you want to, you have decided to play a game of Hide and Seek with yourself. You have convinced yourself that you are not yourself. Pretty clever, right?
This matters because this is the thing that (you think) is missing. In order to 'win the game', all you have to do is remember who you are. There are no 'magic techniques'. This particular set of teachings includes the '10 Minute Command Session' but it isn't the steps that matter -- it's the understanding, bone deep and undeniable that you are God. Any technique will work if you want it to. Once you understand this, you take responsibility for everything you experience and you similarly know that once you've decided something, it is inevitable. You can let go of doing things, of 'working' or 'struggling' towards things with specific techniques or rituals or even ways of thinking.
You understand that the entire universe is a representation of what is happening 'inside' of you, so if you want the world to change all you need to do is change yourself. And that's easy! That's the second easiest thing in the world to do: Decide to be something else. Of course the easiest thing in the world to do is nothing, which is the ultimate destination along this 'line of expansion'. If you still think this world is anything more than a dream, if you believe the world is in some way fixed or immovable, if you are concerned about the free will of others, dreaming up fanciful scenarios where everyone is their own free-willed god of their own universe, or even that you can do manifestation 'right' or 'wrong', that you're still 'looking for the right technique' of how many times to take deep breaths or chant archaic things in badly pronounced Greek -- you have not yet accepted the simple truth of who you are.
This is my favorite quote in all the Universal Line writings because it always 'wakes me up': "All alone in my Private Dream, what am I doing?"
You're all alone here. You decide what works and what doesn't. Stop sabotaging yourself and acknowledge WHO you are*. The rest of it will take care of itself. Most of the writings and videos at [http://www.johnpaolucci.com/] are aimed at helping you remember who you are. There are a lot of great metaphors and analogies to help you wrap your current perspective around it -- but I will acknowledge the word choices go several layers deep so it can be a bit of a cerebral beast to grapple with. Just remember that (like most things) the difficulty is a story you're telling yourself. It only has to be hard if you want it to be.
...
Wanting those things is great (if you want it to be) because it gives you a bunch of things to work on and practice with. But, and I don't mean to make light of your intensity, all of those things are window dressing. If you can't grasp the First Principles, this particular path isn't going to help you get to what you want. 'Manifesting' by simple virtue of being the Universal Source really is the easiest thing -- but in my personal experience, there's a large degree of deconstruction that has to happen before you can become open to it. Words like 'believe' and 'faith' and 'know' and 'intend' are hard. You see them get thrown around a lot, but they're slippery concepts. What does it really mean to 'believe' in something or to 'know' something? More than what it means, what does it feel like?
If you'd like, we can work with some 'incomplete' truths here to help you open up your perspective at the margins -- but I only want to go through and over them if you're interested in 'the work' (such as it is). The feeling I get from your posts is that you want 'manifestation' now -- this may not be as fast you would like it to be. To that end, here are some suggestions in the vein of 'incomplete' but possibly pragmatic 'truth':
- Many of us have been raised in a highly materialist world and have accumulated highly materialist (by which I mean 'dealing with the material world' -- matter and energy) habits. By nature, these rules are 'low level' and they don't leave room for things like 'Oh, and I just so happen to be God'. You can try and convince yourself with Quantum Physics (it seems to work for a lot of people) or whatever the latest flavor of the week is, but all of that merely deepens your commitment to materialism. Rules are rules, but you made the rules. You can change them or ignore them if you want to.
- So Question everything. Nothing is sacred. What is this world? Is it real? Are you sure? How do you know? What do you know? How do you know it? Imagine you were just born and know nothing -- what is your experience now?
- If you've been trying to manifest for 7 years without success -- do you actually believe that manifestation works? This isn't a flippant question. If you strongly adhere to materialist, defeatist or victim-hood mentalities (not making any claims, just listing some possibilities), these things will directly interfere with your ability to manifest because they say that there is nothing that you can do to change your situation.
- Remember for a moment who you are. Everything you intend is taken as fact and you manifest your world perpetually all day every day -- it's so easy you never even notice you're doing it. But if you're not manifesting consciously -- what is doing the manifesting?
- Odds are good you've 'othered' part of yourself to automate it. Is that possible? Do you subscribe to a concept of a subconscious? Is that the part of you that you handed the boring stuff of growing your hair and fingernails? Of keeping your heart beating? Maybe you've off-loaded something else to it?
- If you strongly believe in the validity of a material world and then 'try' to manifest, what happens? Obviously your strongest held conviction is going to win, right? ("THE MATERIAL WORLD AND ALL OF ITS LAWS ARE REAL" > "mebbe if I wish hard enough, I'll finally get their attention") Again -- no claims, just possibilities and examples.
- This is a way that I seem to get in my own way all the time. This existence has a lot of complexity. A lot of stuff is going on and this person that I seem to be has a lot of strongly held convictions, often to stuff I don't necessarily remember consenting to. That's okay, it doesn't have to get in the way, but it certainly can.
- Listen to yourself talk to yourself. Aren't you always narrating your story? Aren't you always building and rearranging your narrative arc? 'I'm sad. I'm sad because my cat has chosen to pee in my new shoes. I'm going to...' I AM, I AM, I AM. This is not flippant. These are declarations. You are declaring your reality with words and concepts at all times. If you don't like the script, flip it.
- If you like your narrative arc of working and struggling at it (It isn't necessary, but it is sometimes pragmatic), it can often help to start with little stuff. When I say little stuff, I mean stuff that your bluemoon130-self would normally not give even the slightest stray thought to. So expect, for example, that today you will see a ton of green cars -- and then look for them. Passive, benign expectation will produce bizarrely effective results that passionate pining never will. Try this on parking spaces, timeliness of appetizers at restaurants, or other things that have low yield and low importance.
- Why does this (sometimes) work? Because your smaller bluemoon130-self doesn't think those things are particularly unlikely. Parking spaces or green lights are a crap shoot -- sometimes they're on your side and sometimes not, right? (Question that! Do you ever feel like when you're in a hurry, you hit every red light in town? Interesting 'coincidence', right?) But the very possibility of something like this should open some doors. What does it feel like to successfully manifest and most importantly -- why does it work?
If you've been at this for 7 years, you've probably heard or read all this before. But if nothing has worked in all that time, maybe your narrative arc has you revisiting the fundamentals to see what you missed. Maybe this is the time that you just 'get it'? Wouldn't it be fun if that were the case? Imagine, just for a second, that it's true. That this is it -- there are no more excuses. This time you're going to get a handle on it and make it happen. You're all alone here and it's your dream, it's your story. So why not?
But again, all of this is just window dressing. You're playing a game of Hide and Seek with yourself and you've left so many clues laying around. Books and movies, out of body experiences, an entire dream world that can have dream worlds within dream worlds all inside of it. You've even created dream characters to tell you that you're dreaming and dream characters to tell that they're dreaming!
But these are just hints. You've also built an incredibly elaborate ruse to hide yourself and the game is so much fun that sometimes you don't want to win. Have you ever watched TV or played a video game and forgot that you were a person sitting in a chair doing it?
I hope this helps you to move in the direction you're travelling. If you want to talk First Principles, let me know. I learn something new every time I revisit them!
It is a lot to read and a lot to think through -- but I'm always happy to help Myself. Let me know what you need.
Just remember that there are various 'degrees' of truth, from complete to incomplete. What I've laid out above may be 'useful', but you can skip the whole thing by merely remembering who you are.
John_paolucci: This reddit site is not designed to take you carefully step by step though each sentence of the UL material. That’s what is required. It will be good for you to be more realistic about your disability. If I were in your position, I would find a friend who is well above 5th grade learning disability, and have them sit down with me to read it. I’d stop them and have them clarify if I wasn't’ getting it. If you don’t have such a friend, put an ad in your local newspaper, or Craigslist. You’ll find people who will do it for a low hourly rate. If you don’t want to spend the money, that’s a good indicator or your priorities, and you should consider spending it elsewhere. No one has a problem with that choice here. Another option is to download the MP3. Let it speak to you over and over without trying to get it. It will soak in through osmosis. Put on your earbuds, and if you don't have MP3 in your car, pick up a small amplified speaker.
What exactly does it mean to be realistic when you're the dreamer of your private dream?
John_paolucci: This is plain street-wise talk to a person who as far as he's concerned, doesn't have a private dream. If he was familiar with the material, it could of course be seen as a contradiction. If I don't accommodate his level of understanding in a practical manner, I'm being uncompassionate.
POST: I got a question from a reader – how about some answers here to help them out
in the same manner I can intend to move a corporeal limb then knowing I am all of the ONE thing, I can 'move' any aspect of it through intention alone
I've always really liked the 'limb' metaphor, despite some of it's potential inaccuracies. There are two major reasons why I like it -- the way it feels and the structural similarities. 'Manifesting' effortlessly Feels to me almost exactly like absentmindedly reaching up to scratch my eyebrow. It is an effortless NO-THING that is derived from the basis of WHO I AM. You don't sit there and try to 'be in the end' or create vision boards for it or chant in archaic Greek to get your hand to flip up there and put your eyebrows back in order. You know, as part of the identity you've accepted, that you are a human being with limbs and that you can use those limbs to affect the seemingly physical world in which you live. You never think about it twice because that's just part of who you are.
Similarly, when your identity, your self-definition, expands to include more and more of Creation, you may find the 'feeling' of this is very much the same. You might find that as you walk back from your identity as u/mossyeyes that you begin to see that everything around you is just an extension of YOU. You might realize you can 'feel' or 'see' from the perspective of your desk, or that 'other' people (including the one whose eyes you're looking out of right now) or things (like a spoon, for an example) are just like fingers in a glove and if you pay a little attention to it, you can isolate each one and move each one independently.
If you pay close attention, you may even catch YOURself moving them 'inadvertently', like reaching up to scratch your eyebrow. Structurally, the 'limb' metaphor works great too, because these people we seem to be are like fingertips. They are hugely sensitive, marginally independent and occupy hardly the tiniest portions of our bodies -- and yet! You can focus all your attention into a fingertip, can't you? You can just sink in and luxuriate in the sensation of a fingertip sliding down a 2000 thread count silk sheet, or down the side of your lover's body, or feel an entire world captured in a raindrop sitting there on the end of it.
Fingertips are connected to finger joints and finger joints eventually become a hand and a hand eventually becomes an arm and an arm eventually connects to a shoulder and then a torso and so on and so forth. The Human Body then, in some sense, is one potential map of structural reality.
YOU are the consciousness at the core of that body. So not only are you all the fingers, but you're the arms and the shoulders and the legs and the internal organs and the funny faces you're making into the world -- and yes, even the structure and composition of the brain itself, because YOU go deeper than that, just like you do in this seeming localized realm being perspective. So because YOU have all creation at your disposal, you're right -- 'commanding' the universe is just like commanding your body to pick up that slushie. It's your's to do with what YOU will.
I posted a comment on another thread that proposes a different, but maybe equally valuable structural perspective on the way reality is strung together. Especially if you like Neville Goddard's I AM. The ROOT FUNDAMENTAL at the center of either of these mental models is that YOU are the center and everything else is derived from YOU. This is what gives you the 'Authority' to 'move' or do anything and everything. But equally, these mental models both demonstrate a stark 'divide' between 'you' and YOU. Conventionally, we usually offload the Authority to make changes in our world to various 'systems' -- like the Arm or the Shoulder or the Kidney. We only rarely seem to 'look up' and realize that we are more than a Fingertip.
When you do that, when you claim the configuration of All That Is, or Infinity, or The Absolute or Universal Line or Father Line or whatever you prefer to call it, you really do have access to the whole thing.
redrocklove: It has helped me to understand that One-Thing is pure intelligence. If there is only One-Thing, but seeming variations abound, what caused those variations? It couldn't be anything other than the same One-Thing. A singular thing, unaffected by any outside source must decide of it's own accord to create a seeming variation. This is because there is no possibility for randomness when there is only one thing. Recognizing this has made me confident in calling the base reality pure intelligence. What is pure intelligence other than the potential for variation? If you are that base reality, then you are that pure intelligence, which means you own the potential for any variation.
John_paolucci: A singular thing, unaffected by any outside source must decide of it's own accord to create a seeming variation.
Father Line: You got Me! Oh shit, there's no place for Me to hide now. :)
KimEhrmantraut: In the movie Kill Bill, the protagonist at one point finds herself incapacitated after recovering from a coma, unable to move her legs. She starts with trying to wiggle her big toe. Staring right at it, she knows its there- its just about feeling out the neural connections and then her legs are functional again. In this case, the 'connection' is implied automatically by virtue of you being one thing, completeness. Beatrix Kiddo doesn't need to know the intricacies of the human nervous system to attempt and succeed at wiggling her big toe- she persists in the intention until eventually it responds- because she knows its part of her, she doesn't give up due to partial-view's conclusion after the first attempt. That should cover the practical aspect of your question- you have nothing to lose by trying to 'feel out' any imagined invisible pathways of limitless influence through intention alone. As long as you are rooted in your acknowledgement of ONE-thing, you know it is possible because it is all an extension of you.
I think what your question is getting at is trying to isolate a particular wave that transmits influence into the virtual state and then back into your field of perception in a very direct manner. It may be expedient to consider things more holistically, with pure intention at the centre of any so-called mechanics, you don't need to identify any such thing. You are seeking to know yourself and everything you perceive as being that ONE-thing, and that can be as simple as looking to principle even though it seems repetitive. Simultaneously you can keep wiggling your magical big toe.*
John_paolucci: Father Line: Wiggle your big toe by gazing at this image [missing] and feeling out what it means, “Ahhh, that feels sweet to have the big Me have me covered instead of me reaching here and there to be responsible for this or that." Then let your toe remain however it finds itself while I do what I love.
Give it a try. The word try can mean to bust your gut by exerting yourself, or it can mean simply giving it whirl like a toy spinning top. Give it a whirl and then kick back.
POST: "Nothing exists beyond your perception" "There's a complete truth that's beyond your perception" (+ a bonus followup to my last post)
"Nothing exists beyond your perception" be acting like Farmer Sod in a way?
You're flipped exactly around. This is a Higher level truth. As ONE All-Pervasive All-Thing, all Perceptions are not only your's, they are YOU. That means all Perceptions, all Perspectives are YOU, they are always occurring and YOU are already all of them. They are your's by right. You have them all. There is nothing in 'existence' (or non-existence, which is also a state in which YOU exist) that you can't perceive.
"There's a complete truth that's beyond your perception"
That's localized realm-being talk, right there. 'There's a boundary.' 'There's a limit I can't cross.' 'That's something that's not-ME.'
It may seem to be the case, but only from your current perspective. How could any limit be true if YOU are who we say YOU are?
meaning you Decide whether things exist independent of you.
You're right! YOU decide. You can tie yourself up with all kinds of really cool, really fascinating mental models (For example: Do things exist if I'm not perceiving them? Do they only continue to exist because I think or expect that they will?), but at the end of the day those things are only as relevant as you want them to be. You can always decide in your own internal worldview which of these things is 'true' for you. All things are ultimately YOU. Any seeming separation is a 'perceptual trick' -- a game you're playing with yourself. Even 'deciding' on a mental model like the above is just another game -- it may be deciding on a new set of rules you're playing by, but it's still a game.
POST: Clash of the FFEs... who will win
It's probably worth considering why you're asking this question.
At its root is an assumption that Person A and Person B aren't the same thing. But ONE-THING never stops being ONE-THING even when it becomes individual variations, right?
Said another way: There are no 'others' there is only YOU pretending to NOT be YOU.
So phrased yet another way, your question reads something like: 'If I am playing Chess against myself, which side (white or black) wins?'
On this subreddit, in this place, people are going to refer you back to 'root fundamentals' because it's 'It's the fastest way to Rome'. And the Root Fundamental is that there is only ONE-THING and YOU ARE IT. Wondering about the potential differences in experience between u/IndianChief69 and u/mossyeyes is just inserting a layer of separation into yourself. It's your Dream, you're welcome to do that if you want, but that separation is inherently an illusion. Separation isn't some structural fact of the Universe, it's a 'perceptual 'fact'' that you've agreed to. If you want to 'Hop off at Chicago', there are a staggeringly huge variety of potential 'lesser truths' that can explain away any seemingly potential conflicts. Many, if not most, can be directly experienced or understood if you have a hankering for that, but that's not really what these teachings are geared towards.
Having said that and just to more directly answer your question... Ponder on what ONE-THING really means. Just contemplate the mind-boggling ramifications of that. As an example: It means to your 'largest Self' there is no such thing as Time. It means that all creation, all possibility, all potential is already done. Which means that the only reason you can't see all this 'creation that's already there' is because you've squeezed yourself into this u/IndianChief69 perspective to play your game. It means that both Hilary and Trump -- not to mention Bernie, u/mossyeyes, u/IndianChief69 and more already exist in states of 'President' and 'Not-President'.
From your u/IndianChief69 Perspective, only one of these things is 'true'. But is that really the case? 'Knowing' (or even 'Lightly Agreeing') with the facts of ONE-THING, you would have to concede that isn't true, right?
(This is why 'truths' have to be kept in relative order)
So what value does your u/IndianChief69's 'limited' perspective provide? If you were FFE, in what ways do you think your perspective might be different?
If you were 100% FFE, do you think you'd have an especially strong commitment to 'who' is temporal leader of a small piece of your dream universe?
There's no wrong answer here, but it may be worth considering. And my usual 'this is just one utilitarian viewpoint, not the only one you could consider it from' disclaimer applies.
But this whole question is a 'stop at Chicago' on your way to Rome. Ponder it as intensely as you feel appropriate, but keep in mind the relative order of truths and acknowledge that this whole thing is probably a CED.
redrocklove: IndianChief69, redrocklove, etc, are OAP experiencing reality through limited perspectives. Since One-Thing is indivisible and all-pervasive, each perspective owns all of OAP. I'm going to take a shot at a thought experiment to help clarify how I see this. Imagine you are a kid playing with action figures. You have two wrestlers, one in each hand. You give them names and personalities, have them argue, DDT each other, maybe a perform a Razor's Edge or a People's Elbow for good measure. As you do this, you are pretending and indulging in a limited, bounded reality comprised of those character's situations. Everything "they" say or do is clearly you behind the scenes. Mid match, you pretend that both of these characters come to know that that they are you sufficiently enough to be able to command the outcome of the match in their favor. You pretend that both are excited about this new knowledge and want to use it to win the match. Assuming the rules you've established force a singular winner as the outcome (no draws or "everybody wins" scenarios, etc.), could both characters win? If you are bound by time and space, this introduces the obvious contradiction (two ultimate powers, one possible winner). Now, instead of a kid with action figures, picture OAP as the person playing the game and us (IndianChief69 and redrocklove) as the wrestlers. You, IndianChief69, realize you are OAP sufficiently enough to know that you can dictate the outcome of the match. You look at me just before delivering a massive suplex and I give you a look that indicates that I've just had the same realization about my true nature. From your point of view, what happens next? You win! From my point of view, I turn the tables and I win. How is this possible? Because the boundaries that existed in the first part of the thought experiment are not in place here. There is no single ring in time/space that has to somehow impossibly accommodate two winners. There is only OAP pretending to be the now cosmically aware IndianChief69 and redrocklove. Because OAP is the expression of all potential, the potentials of our individual wins are equally expressed, and from each of our perspectives, we experience the corresponding expression. A key point that you've alluded to is that IndianChief69 isn't dreaming up redrocklove from his limited perspective of reduced perception. Redrocklove is part of the same All-Dream that IndianChief69 is part of. We're both here because of OAP. The All-Dream is such that it encompasses all individual experience. To use the TV analogy, it's like having the same match pre-recorded with different results, broadcasted on two channels at the same time. Each channel represents our cosmically aware realm being experiences. Your experienced win doesn't negate my OAP status and vice versa. Since OAP fills all of each of us, we can each use that fact to mold our experience as we see fit. Neither of us is special in that regard. When we're all the way on our line of expansion, our two experiences merge together. I imagine it is similar to, albeit probably only loosely so, the way in which the kid earlier in my reply knowingly pretends to be both action figures at the same time.
...
redrocklove: Maybe it would help if we talked about your understanding of One-Thing. Do you see how John arrived at two or more things needing a third thing in order to be? You really have to prove that to yourself one way or another for this to make sense. One way you could do that is through contradiction. In that case, we could assume two things exist in and of themselves and that they don’t need a third thing.
Let’s start with the premise that two separate things exist: thing1 and thing2. So we are on the same page, separate means that they are two distinct things, apart from one another.
Now, we are assuming the sum total of existence is thing1 and thing2; since this is a proof by contradiction, we’re assuming that there is nothing else (i.e. no backdrop/third thing/field). How is it possible then that there are two separate things if there is nothing else to define their separation? Are they overlaid on each other so that they are actually one thing, or maybe structurally one but with some sort of dividing line like a bar magnet with a north and south pole? That would all just be word play on what it means to be separate, which we’ve already defined as apart from.
Could we say that thing1 is “over here” and thing2 is “over there” but nothing exists around or in between them? We can’t say that “non-existence” is between them since that would ultimately just be another way of saying that there exists no division between thing1 and thing2, which contradicts our initial premise that they are separate (plus, it doesn’t make sense to say non-existence exists).
Saying that thing1 and thing2 are separate immediately assumes some mediating third thing - the statement “two separate things exist” necessitates there being a way for them to be separate. That “way for them to be separate” is the third thing - some backdrop that enables the possibility of separation. That, however, contradicts our premise that there is no third thing, so the premise must be wrong.
Also, we should make sure that we are on the same page regarding the meaning of all-pervasive. Let’s move away from the thought experiment and go back your statement on the physical world about oxygen. Oxygen - let’s even say air in general, which is comprised of multiple elements including oxygen - is not all pervasive. If you zoom in at the molecular level, there is a space between the molecules where there are none of the atoms that comprise air. There are also separate components (subatomic particles) that make those up. Therefore, air is not all-pervasive.
In fact, there is no physical thing in existence that is all-pervasive. All physical things (the particles and subatomic particles making up air in the above example, along with everything else) emerge from fields, which are non-physical, though "they" are all-pervasive. Here’s a video that was posted on this subreddit a while back that talks about this: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNVQfWC_evg]. Physicists refer to quantum fields (multiple) but that is, by necessity, just a way of representing their multiple properties mathematically. Since these fields are each all-pervasive, they have to ultimately reduce to one, unified field (regardless of whether or not we can somehow mathematically describe it as one field).
So, space/time/matter/energy (everything that we know or can possibly know via experience and the scientific method) all come from this unified field that is no thing, but hosts all things. Here’s the key: this underlying reality of one thing from which everything seemingly emerges as perturbations or vibrations is, by necessity, one thing. You can apply similar logic to this as was done with the above proof (e.g. let’s assume the field was not one thing, what would that mean? etc…).
Does this make sense - how something that is all-pervasive is blind to scale and dimensionality and, completely comprising every apparent thing, is actually one thing in and of itself?
Also, does it make sense that being one thing from which the very concept of dimensionality arises, this field isn’t just a very big thing that we are a part of? You can’t possibly verify with your senses that this is the case. You can only understand it conceptually. It is analogous to a dream - you can dream a vast universe of infinite expanse, or maybe have a dream that takes place entirely in a small house. In either case, you are both the entire dreamscape and the dream avatar with your particular dream point of view. You experience yourself as separate from other things in the dream, but you are the whole thing, no matter how apparently big or small - the experience of dimensionality in your dream is a mere illusion. Again, in this analogy, you are the whole thing, the One-Thing from which the entire dream (dreamer, dream avatar, dream scenario) emerges.

Eh, I'd call it 'technically true'. Remember the 'hierarchy of truths'? At the top is: "There is only Universal Line -- everything else is an illusion."
So, accurate, but potentially not a lot of comfort or assistance to a seemingly localized realm being. You could have a lot of fun with this by remembering that everyone out here is also YOU. So YOU asked a CED-related question and YOU answered immediately with a reminder that there are no others and to pay attention to the fundamental ONE-THING Non-Change Fact.
Wild, right?!
If you want to make it even more fun, try to assign 'meanings' to these things. Have you maybe noticed that certain posts pop up exactly when you were pondering on the topics inside?
This is such a crap answer... acting smart without actually answering anything
John_paolucci: Father Line: Hey guys, that's not such a crap answer. I'm all alone. If you can imagine something that doesn't make sense, I can pull it off because I see and do everything everywhere all at once. I have no systemic boundaries. I'm a fresh, clean slate every instant. I can reach in my hat and pull out a rabbit before you even know what hit you. All you can say about Me for sure is that there is nothing you can say about Me for sure. But the real kicker is that your clash idea which you thought was so bright, came from Me. Whatever reaction you have to this post comes from Me. If you call my answer just crap, that's Me playfully commenting on Myself. As I'm what ONE means, I'm just so close to you that you miss it.
The final answer to your question is, Who will the outcome be, not what will the outcome be.
...
you could think that there are millions of other personal dreams happening but who cares because they can’t be experienced by me. Because its SOMEONE else’s personal dream.
There isn't SOMEONE ELSE, there's only YOU and YOU pretending to NOT be YOU. And you can absolutely experience those other dreams if you want to. It's not even all that hard. In fact, if you 'try one out' and decide you like it, you could even 'stay' if you wanted. What's stopping you?
So, another realm beings experience could be SOOOO different that I wouldn’t even be able to contextualize it. Am I right?
Not quite.
u/yashualang maybe couldn't, but YOU could.
Conventionally, you view yourself as a single u/yashualang like identity, right? But you also have this increasingly deepening understanding that you are like a finger attached to a hand attached to an arm. That this u/yashualang person you seem to be is just a tiny slice of what's available. Remember this: YOU are more than a human-being in a single fixed perspective.
It's actually not a big deal to explore somebody else's context. These 'somebody else' perspectives might be 'similar' (u/yashualang from the next Earth over), 'a little different' (u/mossyeyes, living in an English speaking country on the same Earth), 'pretty different' (A French speaking Teenager from 1988), 'wildly different' (A Chinese Peasant Girl circa 1211) or 'alien different' (Rocks, Trees, Planets, Galaxies, 'Actual' Aliens). All of these perspectives are not only possible, but they are absolutely 'occurring' and you can share in them if you want because they're all YOU.
We mostly talk 'manifestation' around here because very few people come into this sort of thing looking to spend a few hours as a Galaxy, but this is a totally valid sort-of experience to go looking for if you want it. I'd recommend it to anyone.
JP is giving me this info because I wanted to expand from all the expansion I have had in the past. So he is also part of the hide and seek game and so is everyone commenting on here. Right?
This part's dead on. Watch the threads that pop up in this subreddit and see if they're 'peculiarly timely' for you.
I would start screaming until I died if I knew the truth of the hide and seek game. Right?
...Are... you screaming right now? I feel like I need to know.
If you found out nothing in your world was true, you’d have a mental breakdown that would take awhile to conceptualize.
For sure, if you're carrying around a lot of commitments regarding persistence and solidity in the so-called reality you inhabit. But can you imagine a different perspective, maybe one where you've always thought this world smelled a little fishy, even from your earliest memory? What about one where you 'played God' as a game when you were a kid?
While what you're saying could make sense from your u/yashualang perspective, you should keep in mind that many apparent 'truths' can coexist all concurrently. Yes, even (or especially) the ones that contradict each other.
BUT the hide and seek game is there so you don’t have to freak out.
Or maybe it's just fun. After all, All Alone in Your Private Dream, why do anything? You only do what you love.
Great discussion... just to throw out more food food discussion... how do you experience being other things or persons and how do you control them in your own private dream?
Well... How do you experience anything else?
JK!
You have some options.
- Option 1: Remember WHO you are, which by definition includes all perspectives and then decide to change your's. I know you're tired of hearing 'REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE', but it is the fundamental truth that this subreddit is trying to get across. When you understand -- really understand -- this simple fact, there aren't any doors that you can't open if you want to.
- Option 2: Make a Command for it as part of your usual 10 Minute Command Sessions. You may immediately have the requested experience or it may be a little bit. Either way, the Return is just like your $10K except you don't usually get to flaunt it afterwards because nobody is going to want to hear how you just spent a few hours as a Galaxy or a Chinese Peasant or a version of you two worlds over who painted their bedroom olive drab green because it makes them feel better after their tour in Iraq. Every thing that happens underneath here should be considered a potential 'utility viewpoint' of 'lesser' truth.
- Option 3: What's the same about every experience you've ever had? It's you! Let that go! Speaking frankly, when you see yourself only and always as a single tiny human-being shaped perspective whirling through an endless black void, your options are going to be a little limited. What would it be like if you weren't that? I mean, you know from this work that YOU aren't (you've 'Lightly Agreed', as we say), but you still think of yourself as that primarily, don't you? Change your identity, or more properly, just let it go. Take 10 minutes and just let everything go. Let everything just run itself and do whatever it's going to do. Let your thoughts come and go, let your perceptions come and go, let your identity, your u/IndianChief69 -ness just float away like a balloon. What are you now? If you don't try to be anything new, maybe you'll still float into something? What would it be like if you tried to be something new while being NO-THING? Could be weird, right? Why don't you try it and see?
- Option 4: Lots of occult 'systems' have this whole idea of training your will power and awareness by focusing intensely on objects, memorizing the whole contents and then shifting your awareness into the object to see things from their perspective. This works just fine, though it can be a little time consuming and in my personal experience it doesn't quite produce the same result. A version of this might be something like 'Shamanic Shapeshifting'. Conventionally, most people who are typing about this stuff on the internet now would 'stop' with moving their minds into a shape and would 'come back' (It's hard to type with fins, you have to admit), but there's no reason you couldn't necessarily perform this exercise and commit to it fully and then not bother to 'come back'. That's true of all of this work. The entire concept of 'Dimensional Shifting' isn't really that absurd. If all creation is already 'done', then one perfectly valid approach to 'manifesting' would be to just pick a universe where everything you want already exists, let go of who you are now and then just move into the new identity. This is, again, a 'lesser truth', but maybe a useful perceptual framework for you. One higher version of this truth is that you are always already creating a new reality based entirely on your identity and your current self conception. So if you change your identity, your world will change too.
And really, I spent way more words here on describing it than the actual effort it takes to do it. Play with it, pretend for just a little bit that you're not some limited human perception and see where you get to.
Wow thanks very much! Option 3 sounds like Neville Goddards I AM method
I AM isn't a 'method' -- it's one possible structural view of so-called reality.
In the beginning, there was darkness and then you spoke, "I AM." The cone of the speaker moved, vibrating into the vast emptiness. The Universal Line became the first Wave. ONE-THING became ONE-ALL-PERSON.
You vibrated again, "I AM POLARITY. I AM CONTRAST. I AM LIGHT. I AM DARKNESS. I AM ENERGY. I AM MATTER. I AM MOVEMENT. I AM STILLNESS. I AM ATTRACTION. I AM REPULSION. I AM GRAVITY."
You created 'Natural Law'.
And you kept on becoming through countless, infinite iterations. Spiraling deeper and deeper into discreteness, into detail. "I AM STARS. I AM THAT STAR. I AM WORLDS. I AM THAT WORLD IN THAT TIME AND THAT PLACE."
...
"I AM A BEING. I AM A BEING ON THAT WORLD. I AM A BEING ON THAT WORLD THAT MUST EAT AND SLEEP. I AM A BEING THAT MUST EAT AND SLEEP AND CAN INTERACT WITH THE MATERIAL WORLD WITH THIS SHAPE."
...
"I AM A BEING THAT MUST EAT AND SLEEP AND CAN INTERACT WITH THE CORPOREAL WORLD WITH THIS SHAPE - AND THIS BEING THINKS IT IS SEPARATE FROM ALL CREATION. I AM A BEING WITH FACULTIES OF SELF-REFLECTION AND AWARENESS AND NO IDEA OF ITS LINEAGE. I AM A BEING WITH SENSES THAT LIE TO IT. I AM A BEING THAT BELIEVES THOSE LIES. I AM A WHOLE CIVILIZATION OF THESE BEINGS. I AM DEATH. I AM TAXES. I AM DEATH AND TAXES COMING TO EVERY MEMBER OF EVERY CIVILIZATION."
...
"I AM A BEING THAT CALLS ITSELF u/IndianChief69 THAT LIVES ON THAT WORLD AND THIS BEING CALLS THAT WORLD EARTH. I AM A BEING THAT IS BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND WHO I AM. I AM A BEING WHO IS ON REDDIT, TYPING ON MYSELF AS A KEYBOARD TO SEND IDEAS ABOUT WHO AND WHAT I AM TO MYSELF SO THAT MY OTHER SELF-BEINGS THAT ARE IN IGNORANCE MIGHT ALSO BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND WHO THEY ARE."
How many I AMs are a part of your structural reality without ever being acknowledged or thought of?
YOU are all of that.
How many I AMs are you senselessly repeating out into your Universe all the time? That is your identity! That is who you think you are! 'I AM a Father', 'I AM a Jet Pilot', 'I AM a woman who likes macaroni and cheese', 'I AM a hipster', 'I AM an IKEA fan-girl', 'I am poor', 'I am not feeling well', 'I am not manifesting anything that I want'. I AM, I AM, I AM.
YOU are CREATING that, all the time, always. You are doing it right now.
Yes, of course you can change your I AMs. And yes, when you do this, you will change your very identity. And yes, you can change your I AMs at higher levels than what you think you are as a 'mere localized realm being'. And yes, when you change those things, your observable structural reality will rearrange itself appropriately -- as long as you don't re-assert your 'old' reality -- this is just the Proof Loop again!
And at the origin of this whole thing is one, simple, non-change fact, right? I AM.
Everything after that is a Wave.
People read Goddard and they get hung up on the 'techniques' and the 'methods' -- that's not what he was trying to tell you. Neville Goddard and John Paolucci are saying the same thing.
YOU ARE. Everything that comes after that is up to YOU.
POST: What’s the reason for this?
John_paolucci: Because "then why is the stuff I want now showing up physically in my world?' is a command content of attention. As you're ONE all-person, there's no place to hide where your command doesn't count. This is why the cover-up is air-tight. No one who knows they're FL expresses themselves that way. It's a dead giveaway that you actually don't know. You just heard the words and somewhat agreed with them. It's no big deal. Just keep more carefully considering the facts as you have done.
Q: [Deleted]
John_paolucci: It's just information – technical information. Study the material as you would the manual that came with your car. Sometimes you have to read the manual over and over to figure out how the hell they want to to replace the windshield wiper. Then later you may say, " Oh yea, I guess that made sense."
It may sound negligent and impractical now, but when you no longer need to go to that place within yourself that says, "But I still don’t have actual results in the end," you will have understood. It's such a cute game you play on yourself that you may get a chuckle when you finally see it :)
But isn't it a paradox? People do this to see results
John_paolucci:* Yes IndianChief69, I hear your concern. I should hope you're a sensible, practical person. Here is not a place for theory-ninnies who love to indulge in paradoxes to add more dust to their philosophy bookshelves. You should use the UL materials to get your dog back – no paradox there. I was referring the place you go inside yourself, not outside yourself where the dog might be physically found. Inside yourself is where everything starts, such as finding your dog. Inside yourself, "But I still don’t have actual results in the end," is a command content of attention which is determining the outer condition always right now. It's the
always right now inside yourself state*
which is your realm of control and determines the outer results of what going on with your dog.
You can't hide somewhere where your inside command "But I don't" is isolated from producing outer like results. That's how big your responsibility is as sole commander.
It's that "how big" which make practical magic happen, so its a good thing – something desirable. It's like you're a conductor in front of an orchestra. If you wave your wand around, don't be surprised if the musicians start playing. Up there, your wand isn't hidden from the musicians, and they will respond. People who make that mistake, just aren't taking far enough, what it means to be sole commander of the universe. It's perfectly understandable when new to this information. Everyone does it. You're doing fine in your progression. No big deal. Everyone understands what you're going through here.
"You can't hide somewhere where your inside command "But I don't" is isolated from producing outer like results. That's how big your responsibility is as sole commander."; Could you expound on this point? Specifically on how to isolate that inside command from producing outer like results.
John_paolucci: There is no reason to isolate it with some sort of mind control technique. When you know of FL, you simply don't go there. But if you do, He says. "It makes no difference to Me. Put Me first and I take care of everything."
Some famous religious guy :) said, "Seek first the God Kingdom and everything else will be supplied for you."
Another guy said: "See how Father Line is already commanding perfectly for you, so there's no need to bother."
Okay, I'll post it separately.
DreamerAxelos: I misread your initial comment saying "you can't hide somewhere" as "you can hide somewhere," which is why I was initially confused and asked how you can hide. Your reply cleared it up—focusing on WHO makes the CEDs like "But I don't" melt away. A very big responsibility, as you said.
John_paolucci: Our so-called confusion was FL making sure more valuable info came in through the back door. I added more as you can see.
Regarding Universal Line specifically, virtually any time you are looking to your external world to provide 'proof' or results, you run afoul of the dreaded Proof Loop (See AFGTUL Part 2 - Page 8). Because you are the Sole Commander and you decide everything, if you take a 'I'm missing actual results' conclusion stance, you've just made a command. You've just told your world you don't have results and so your world is going to prove it back to you. It has to. That's what it means for you to be the Sole Commander. So reject whatever the world has to tell you. It's just doing what you tell it to anyway. Don't even go there inside yourself. And when you do that...
Traditional LoA and Neville Goddard techniques says it's easier to 'get' what you 'already have' -- that's why you 'live in the end' and try to 'vibrate' like the things you want, right? Being 'wealthy' makes it easier to accumulate more wealth, being happy makes it easier to get happier, etc etc. That's fairly 'conventional' thinking from these other schools of thought!
Meanwhile, if you're really paying attention to Universal Line, to WHO you are, then nothing else is really relevant, right? It doesn't matter what your 'current' state is, because it can be anything you want it to be. It doesn't matter what the 'world' has to say about time or space or physics of conservation of energy -- YOU decide all that. Don't let the world get uppity with you!
A1: I personally think it's a hide and seek trap to attempt to ignore "reality"...it's become the same crux as action. This reality is the playing field of experience and should be treated as such...much like action...neither create but both are instruments for experience.
Reality isn't separate from WHO...you don't escape or ignore what (reality or any other realm-based conclusions) you simply put it in its rightful place after WHO...don't go there inside yourself. Your statement about thoughts suggests you haven't fully acknowledged WHO you are.
If you put WHO in the proper seat as the sole commander there's nothing to ignore or struggle with...WHO is always above what, but is both at the same time...ONE-thing...totality. :)
KimEhrmantraut: /u/OmegaAces has some really helpful posts about making the "negative thoughts" work for you. Search for them. What John says about being really clear or else falling flat on your face is also very relevant here. So when you're always beginning from your true identity, the rules of what happens thereafter in your thought-space is entirely up to You. One stepping stone I have used for 'negative' thoughts and perceptions is recognising the underlying intention that caused that thought- in your case it is your happy relationship with that person, but just happens to appear as the opposite in your world. Knowing that your intention is before any judgments you make about your thoughts and therefore more powerful, you can chill and enjoy the sweet deal. If those negative thoughts come up, they're working in your favour.
John_paolucci: Just a note Kim: When you start talking about recognizing negative thoughts because of this or that and relating them to judgement, you could easily start to pull some reader away from WHO into what. They may not be strong enough in WHO as you are. Again, it's just a direction that could easily snowball into getting someone fussy about boundaries. Keep up the good work.
SillyLadyPickle: I personally think it's a hide and seek trap to attempt to ignore "reality"...it's become the same crux as action.

POST: what exactly do you do in the 10 minute session
First, an obligatory reminder to re-read the texts (or watch the videos) and take your time with it. The texts are not designed to be gobbled up in quick succession and repeated readings will deepen your knowledge of the subject matter. If you started with the 10 Minute Command Session, take a step back and go through Advanced Financial Gain Through Universal Line Part 1. It matters, because this text (and the others) include all the information about why this works (IE - WHO you are).
So what is the 10 Minute Command Session?
- Review WHO you are and WHY this works (IE - Prepatory Resolve)
- Set your intention for what it is you're commanding (IE - "Simply being Universal Line, I now become my $10K manifested instantly and in full.")
- Remember WHO you are (IE - Look to yourself as Universal Line)
- Do this for 10 minutes, each time returning to your Intention and then Remembering WHO you are every time you find yourself out on a thought
That's it. There are no experiences to have and no perceptions associated with the work. Because you are WHO you are, you don't have any excuses for it not to work either. If things seem unmanageable for some reason, you can practice several 'remedial' measures, like 'active command inclusion' (IE - Decide that whatever is happening in your life right now is actually causing your intention to manifest).
The word choices John uses in the text and videos go several layers deep, but they are all pretty deliberate. Once you have a grip on the metaphors that are being used, you can use your own metaphors to deepen your understanding.
As John says in the text, anytime you are thinking about WHAT you should change it to a WHO.
You are the all-pervasive, all-present, all-thing. You are the experiencer and the experience all in one. You are already there and you are already commanding your universe 100% of the time, rebuilding it dynamically from moment to moment based on a seemingly internalized truth. What more is there to do?
The only thing there is to do is to remind yourself of the truth of WHO you are.
You can clear your mind if you like. It's your dream -- you set the rules. If it's comfortable to try and do that, you can. But it's not the clearing of your mind that 'makes the change'. It's not even the constant reiteration of your intention -- obviously YOU know what you what you want. How else would the person you seem to be have the intention if it didn't come from WHO you are? For the purposes of the 10 Minute Command Session, you're simply 'touching base' because it accommodates your current perspective as a limited being. It seems like the question above is asking for a 'recipe'. 'If I do this step and then this step and then this step and add a quarter cup of this, then I get $10K.'
It can work like that, if you want it to, because again, it's all your dream. But it doesn't have to. In your private dream, why are you working and struggling at it?
The simple truth is that the 10 Minute Command Session is an exercise to have you remind yourself of WHO you are some thirty-ish times in a relatively digestible chunk of time that can be worked into even the busiest seemingly limited being's schedules. I've wandered a little bit, so just to recap:
- 'What' are you doing? -> WHO are you again?
- There is nothing 'to do' - there is no experience to have - there is no shift in perception associated with this
- There is no experience and no shift and nothing to do because you're already doing it -- you are already all-pervasive and all-present, you are already everything you need to be and every possibility you could ever want already exists in the Infinite Yes that is WHO you are
- The 10 Minute Command Session is a tool for remembering WHO you are -- and as you begin to realize and understand this on a deep and fundamental level, 'results' will come whether you are 'commanding' in 10 minute increments or not
It really is the simplest thing you could possibly imagine: you do nothing.
*Edit to add a link to some helpful supporting text
Okay. Yes -- believe it or not, it can get even easier!
- Remember why you're doing this (IE - "Simply being Universal Line, I now become my $10K manifested instantly and in full.")
- Remember why it works (IE - Because of WHO you are)
The first step is optional. Do this for 10 minutes.
DreamerAxelos: Don't look to whether /u/mossyeyes has achieved results to determine whether you can. That's putting WHAT before WHO. P.S. When you ask /u/mossyeyes if he has achieved results, it's Universal Line asking Universal Line if Universal Line has achieved results. Kind of silly, right?
POST: Is there proof that we are living in the private dream? What about relationships?
DreamerAxelos: Is there any evidence for the fact that we are in a private dream? What proof is there?
John provides the logical proof in AFGTUL Part 1. As far as personal proof, the best available is the proof that you create for yourself by commanding your private dream as Universal Line.
Have you tried commanding by simply being ONE Thing or using the 10-Minute Command Session? Test your reality through commands that will manifest simple, yet obvious proof. For example, try a command like this using the procedures that John outlines (i.e. Priority #2 or Priority #3 in AFGTUL Part 2, as described on page 3):
"Simply being Universal Line, I now become a hummingbird instantly materialized in full sometime tomorrow."
A return of this command will mean that you see a hummingbird at some point during your day, and when you see it, you will have the proof that you desire—because how often do you randomly see a hummingbird?
Feel free to substitute the hummingbird with any other animal that you wouldn't usually see.
I don't understand much of the teachings is there a place I can learn the teachings in more simpler language :)
They can indeed be difficult to understand :) Keep reading—you'll understand more with each read-through. Also, the intent of this community is to discuss the teachings and help each other understand them, so keep asking questions and reading the answers that others provide.
Just to provide an alternate thought on this: On the one hand, I don't think you can ever really let the return 'prove' anything to you. What if I do a command session for a hummingbird and then it doesn't show up? Or I do the command session for a hummingbird and I don't even notice it? What if the hummingbird shows up in paint on a plate or a cup? Does that 'prove' that command sessions don't work? The written materials say that a lack of return points mostly to a lack of familiarity with the facts (IE - WHO you are). But many people who come into this work could try the 10 Minute Command Session before they really understand WHO they are.
On the other hand, I think this is a 'lesser' or 'incomplete' truth and one my Mossyeyes-self used heavily to (re-)establish my understanding of commanding my universe, so I think it's great to put out there and talk openly about. I tend to think things like 'see a random animal' or 'see a bunch of green cars' don't meet as much resistance from our realm-boundary selves and so those forms of manifestation are dramatically 'easier' (even though objectively, there's no difference between Manifesting a Hummingbird and Manifesting $10K).
But a key component of this is that you can never take a 'failure' as 'proof' that something isn't working.
Your world is just 'proving' back to you what you've told it to, so even if you're 'not successful' at seeing a hummingbird, that doesn't mean that this whole thing doesn't work.
DreamerAxelos: so if you don't see the hummingbird after saying that does it mean you did something wrong or don't believe in this enough?
Well, You never do anything wrong. You are ONE All-Person (God), so everything goes according to Your perfect plan. But as the "you" that is bluemoon130, you can't see all of Your plan as God. God is pretending to be you (bluemoon130). If you don't see the hummingbird, that's still part of Your plan as God. But as bluemoon130, you can't see all of Your plan. You have hidden the greater truth from Yourself. In this way, you have a chance to rediscover WHO You are.
So as bluemoon130, what can you do to see the hummingbird if your command "didn't work"? You work on your understanding and knowing that you are ONE All-Person (God). Do that enough, and you will see the hummingbird.
also does the hummingbird like pop up right away or does it take a few days or a week or a month or whatever?
This is up to you. You decide in your command when you want to see it.
John_paolucci: Perhaps you can now go back into the text with the specific intent to find the exact mechanics of how you set yourself up with all the living proof you could want that you’re not living a private dream. Until you get outside the matrix (so to speak) of this covert set up, the question, “Is there proof that we are living in the private dream?" is going to continue to be you playing a clever game on yourself. After you read AFGTUL Part 1, take a look at A Deeper Look At Your First Two Essentials to zero in on the smartest and most elegant thing to do to outsmart yourself.
As far as a simpler language, these texts are not meant to be the flash-by read which we're forced to get into because of the overwhelming amount of text we encounter every day on the web. You need to slow down and put on your thinking cap. Not only that, but for many, it requires multiple reads for it to all come together. Once it does, it's unbelievably simple.
Generally, as DreamerAxelos and John_paolucci said, you have used your Authority as the Sole Commander of your Private Dream to convince yourself that you're not having a 'dream' at all. But there are some potential ways to think about the story that might help. Here are some things to consider:
The Proof Loop
For just a minute, let yourself 'pretend' that you exist in a world in which you decide everything. Don't change anything about your current experience, but 'zoom out' a little bit so you can see more of the picture. In this 'pretend' experience, 'decide' that in the next five minutes, a 'Fun Bus' is going to roll up outside wherever you are and disgorge an animal petting zoo. Fun! You're the Sole Commander, so you can do whatever you want, right?
(It doesn't have to be an animal petting zoo.)
Watch yourself send that 'decision' out. Wait 5 minutes.... At the end of 5 minutes, does the Fun Bus roll up?
Ehhhh, probably not, right? Why not?
It has nothing to do with what you decided was going to happen and it has nothing to do with the timeline you set for it. Instead, it has everything to do with what you already decided was going to happen. Or another way to say that might be 'what you expected was going to happen'. When the Fun Bus didn't roll up, didn't you have a thought like, "Of course it didn't come," or "Why would that ever work?" or "That wasn't enough time for something that complicated to manifest," or "Where would they get a bus load of Sheep at this time of the night?" or even, "I knew that would never work."
Maybe it was just a feeling of non-surprise or inevitability? Maybe you even felt a knot of resistance or rejection when you tried to send the desire for the Fun Bus out into your world -- before the result could have come back?
This is you, using your full and undiluted power as the Sole Commander, as the Only Author, to prove to yourself that you are not having having a Private Dream where you call the shots. Pretty clever, right?
Any time you allow your world to 'prove' anything to you, you have, in a sense, handed off Authority and Authenticity to it. And in all likelihood, since you're asking this question, you're very much habituated to an existence that tells you what's happening, not the other way around. So you trigger your command and then wait to see if the world agrees. Well -- how can it? You've already told it that you're not 'allowed' to do those sorts of things. So then the next time you try to do it...
You see where that goes, don't you?
This is why John says you can't 'hang on wave'. You can't let so-called-reality dictate terms to you. You're the Sole Commander. You make the rules, you make the decisions. Don't let the world tell you that you can't. Just don't go to that place inside yourself. The way free of the Proof-Loop is to just keep on going. Understand WHO you are and WHY you are that WHO. Everything else follows as that understanding becomes deeper. It will 'prove' itself, but only after you've realized that you don't care what the proof has to say.
You've Also Left Yourself Hints and Clues
All throughout this life, this existence, you've left yourself hints all over the place. Little drawings that say 'KILROY WUZ HERE'. Books, movies, this Subreddit, all these weird characters telling you that you're dreaming.
(I don't know if you can call that a 'Hint' or not... But since in your private dream you can just decide they're crazy, maybe?)
But even more than that, look to your own experience. If you've ever done any NLP, Timelining can help with this, but isn't required. Just think about the last time something great or terrible happened -- especially if it was sudden -- and then wind back your memory of it. Did you think, feel or imagine something immediately prior to the event occurring?
Here's a small example out of my own life, notably in how blatantly obvious it was. (The notableness of it was especially notable because I was looking for exactly this kind of experience, so I 'proved' it to myself!)
One day, I was driving. A truck directly ahead of me had dozens of trash bags full of aluminum cans. One of the bags ripped open and cans spilled out onto the road. I swerved around them and kept on going. I had a very vivid mental image of my tires being shredded over the aluminum cans. Then I thought to myself, 'Oh man, that would really ruin my day.'
About a minute and a half later, I turned and as I did so, I turned too sharply, I guess, and clipped the curb. I haven't done that for a while, and even when I had, it had never really done any damage (...aside from that one lost hub cab... RIP). This time, however, clipping the curb shredded my tire. POP, thump thump thump thump. Whups!
I did that. Unequivocally, absolutely, I definitely did that and what's more, I caught myself doing it. You're doing it all the time. Dynamically rebuilding, reestablishing, manifesting the dream you 'know' every second of every day. There isn't a single moment where you're not doing it. If you catch yourself doing it once (even retroactively), you can see more instances where you did it, and then more and then more on grander and grander scales. It can be really awe-inspiring and humbling to realize that you've done it all.
Sometimes the 'intention' doesn't seem to have been 'intentional' (harhar) and sometimes it precedes the 'event' by a considerable margin (seemingly even by years), but the 'cause' of all the 'effects' you experience is you. You're doing everything, all the time, without doing anything. That's pretty cool, right?
When you understand WHO you are, all the proof is obvious. But if you're waiting for the proof to tell you WHO you are, you're going to be waiting a long time. The only one who can 'prove' this to you is you.
omfg, I think I finally get it. The 'you' that demands proof of return is the same 'you' that is manifesting its lack. After all, if you know 'WHO' you are then no proof is necessary as you already are/have all and therefore no doubt, just knowing. Am I expressing this right? u/John_Paolucci

POST: Any results or success stories here?
I manifested a blackberry pie from my favorite local bakery this morning.
Yesterday in the Discord we were talking about pie. So I decided I wanted pie. I casually remembered who I was (IE - 'All the pies are already mine. In fact, all the pies are me.'), decided I would get pie presently (IE - 'COME BACK TO ME, MY SEEMINGLY DISTANT PIE-SELF.') and then went on with my life. I woke up this morning and there was pie. Not just any pie, but my favorite kind of pie from my favorite bakery. This bakery has been overloaded with requests for weeks (Tis the Season...) and I forgot to order one from them. I didn't ask anyone to bring me the pie, didn't mention pie to anyone (aside from the Discord) for any reason.
And yet, this morning... There was pie.
I don't know if it was 'free'. It was free to me though. There's probably some wild story about how this pie ended up in someone's hands in order for it to be somehow delivered to my kitchen counter before I could even wake up this morning, but I don't know anything about it. I don't need to.
I wanted pie --(and thus)--> Pie.
It's a pretty 'sweet deal'.
MY KEYLIMES COMING I TELL YA I dont even like it but hey thats what you all planted in my brain.
Just you wait. It's on its way for sure!
A1: Success stories are wonderful, but they can't validate your personal experience.
At best, you'll get a temporary high, sort of like a shot of your favorite spirit (ha! ;))...sure it warms you up for a bit but it's fleeting...some understand that that's the nature of such things and others hang on to them as the only way to validate that something is or isn't possible.
At worst, you'll drown yourself in what...which in this case is seeming other's success stories... and completely miss the WHO...the ultimate truth is all success stories are yours but you're too stuck on the warmth of possibilities that you've missed why that's so.
I'm not against success stories, but you're asking for them as a way to validate something you haven't experienced yourself and thus anything you read will be rendered useless and not at all helpful.
Success stories can be helpful if they inspire the reader to test the limits, yet do nothing as validation...your dream can't be validated by or through others...there are no others...it's your dream.
You are the Ocean and the wave.
The WHO and the what....
...Understanding this will be your best success story and from there everything goes as determined by WHO...you. :)
POST: Can the 10 minute session cause the dream to change to a completely different one?
What I'm wanting is to experience every kind of life. Farm boy in the outback, ancient Highland warrior, present day child prodigy, everything. Can this be done with a 10 minute session?
Yes. When you're familiar enough with the structure of the so-called reality you inhabit, you won't even need a 10 minute session. You can just 'pop out' for a little bit and check out alternate perspectives at will. You're not even limited to human or human-like perspectives.
It's your dream. The only relevant rules are the ones you adhere to.
How can I make myself stop adhering to binding rules?
Remember that WHO you are is larger than any single point of limited perspective. WHO you are is similarly larger than any seemingly binding rules you come up with to enforce on yourself. It is the All-Pervasive All-Thing -- all perspectives and all rules are made up of YOU. The only 'technique' or 'method' (it's really neither of those things) used in Universal Line teachings is to remember and acknowledge WHO you are. Doing this will open all the doors you want opened -- including assuming other perspectives on a 'permanent' basis.

POST: Luxury Things (/r/NevilleGoddard/)
Also consider (if you have a commitment to people existing outside yourself):
The people that are routinely manifesting things probably don't need validation from a bunch of strangers on reddit. What reason do they have to post their success stories for you?
Yeah, some excellent few are trying to help others, but you might be 'surprised' at how many people are routinely leveraging this stuff and then not talking about it. Then again, maybe not. Which world would you prefer to live in?
POST: Is NLP necessary to learn or understand at all to apply Neville’s techniques to manifest things? (/r/NevilleGoddard/)
Nothing is 'necessary' to manifest. You're doing it right now.
Having said that, NLP is a potentially interesting pursuit as it gives you a new set of 'lenses' through which you can examine your current mental sphere. I've found the 'timeline' exercise to be particularly useful and it should go without saying that combining this sort-of 'view' with a 'Revisionist' mindset could be particularly powerful. But it's not 'necessary' by any stretch of the imagination and YMMV as to whether it's worthwhile or not. Be cautious with words like 'necessary' or 'required' or 'need' as they signal that you're putting boundaries on your own power and your own capability.
POST: I was reading the Kybalion and came across a phrase that could contradict Neville. (/r/NevilleGoddard/)
The first Principle in the Kybalion is that ALL IS MIND.
"The truly wise...using Law against laws; the higher against the lower" -- if the first and foremost 'law' is that All Is Mind, then that means there is no higher law. The 'truly wise' know that through the power of their own minds, they are capable of anything. The Mind triumphs over every lower law. At no point is the quote above saying you can't change the world by changing the only thing that really matters -- yourself. In fact, if all is mind, then it seems pretty obvious that changing yourself is the only way to change the world, right?
Be careful about carelessly consuming and incorporating other world views into your own, particularly if they are applying new rules and restrictions. The 'principles' in the Kybalion are not absolute, just as nothing else you might read (here or elsewhere) is absolute. Don't treat this stuff like a golden cow just because it seems to describe some things in your experience. Proceed first and always from a position of power and authority.
POST: I finally reached the intense state of I AM. Whoa. (/r/NevilleGoddard/)

This is a bit of a weird story. I've been having trouble with the I AM consciousness. True, I don't meditate as much or as long as I should, but I have been repeating "I AM" with limited results. Yesterday, while at work, I decided to brush up on r/universalline, which is a bit odd to me, but I kind of get what they're doing and see how it's furthering and modernizing Neville's teachings. In a success story thread from 2 days ago, I read:
mossyeyes17 hours ago Yesterday in the Discord we were talking about pie. So I decided I wanted pie. I casually remembered who I was (IE - 'All the pies are already mine.

I don't know what happened when I read that, but something clicked. It was like being punched inside my brain, and I immediately felt connected to everyone and everything in the world. Instant expansion and depersonalization. And it was terrifying. I just was. i was everything and everyone, and I could experience everything and everyone. I saw myself as a mother in an African country cooking rice at a stove while holding a baby. I was a man in a BMW, talking on the phone and changing the radio station at the same time. And it was like I had filaments or hairs (they were blue?) connecting me to EVERYONE and I could experience what they were experiencing through them, and control them too.
I wasn't meditating this. My eyes were open, and I was conscious, but I wasn't only me. Here's the weird part. Of course I tried to change consciousness, and then experienced myself as other people. I felt my mother, whose filament seemed to be around my "foot", if that makes sense. (Neville says we all make up the body/temple of I AM. I think of it as us being cells in a body.) I deliberately felt myself as a man who interviewed me about 10 days ago, and had him put my resume in an "accepted" pile. I had a review coming up with my current boss in a little while, and while being her, thought that I was a pretty good employee with no issues. Then, and don't laugh, I experienced myself as my husband driving and wondered why he was so obsessed with pussy at that moment. (That's literally what I felt. Don't laugh.)
It got overwhelming and I wasn't sure I wasn't going to die at my desk, so I "disconnected". At my review, my boss said the same words that I put in her mind as her, that I was doing "pretty good and had no issues." Fun right? Well, it gets better. When my husband came to pick me up from work, the first words out of his mouth were, "I was driving along today, and saw what I thought was a black bag. I turned around, and it was a tortoiseshell kitten, who was dragging itself along by its front legs. It had just been hit! I picked it up, and drove it to our vet." He then OBSESSED over this kitten for the rest of the night. Weirdest thing of all? This was all happening while I was him. Same exact time.
I am definitely in awe, but am still feeling a little depersonalized. I will probably try this again, and hopefully control it more this time, but it is SCARY. I only saw the blue flame/light for a second, and probably was in the I AM state for about 5 - 10 minutes, but it is still affecting me now, the next morning.
I can't imagine what experiencing the Promise is like, if I AM is so intense.

Once you've gone and come back, things will never be the same. Welcome to the party!
Q: I'm able to get about 3/4 of the way again to I AM right now (depersonalization and expansion), but I'm not bridging that gap to be EVERYTHING again.
could you please elaborate on how you get into that state? What thought process, what emotional process, what kind of a "ritual" would it take for someone who has never experienced this to experience it like you did? I would love to hear a way to induce this state willingly.
Clanless_x: Do nothing. The easiest thing possible. Isnt that a sweet deal?
Like u/Clanless_x says below, you don't need to do anything. You are already doing it. I AM isn't some sort of technique, it's one potential mental model of reality. But it is possible to be 'so close' to that final set of I AMs that you never notice all the rest of them.
Here's an exercise to try if you want:
Just be yourself for a minute. Take a breath, settle down. You're not going for Stillness (the person you seem to be probably wouldn't let you anyway), just something relatively quiet. Feel around for the 'boundaries' of who and what you seem to be. There may be a physical boundary, for example, at the edge of your body. There might be another boundary, maybe a little beyond that, where you think of your 'personal space' is. Your mind's boundary may be harder to nail down, but you'll find 'limits' to where you think it can go (for example, into someone else's mind). There might be other boundaries too. Feel them out, find them, put stakes in them with pretty little flags if you like. Then smudge them out. One by one, smudge out the boundaries that separate you from your chair. That separate you from your mother or your father. That separate you from the galaxy. Until there is no 'you' and there is no 'universe'. There is only one thing: I AM.
Try it out. Maybe something cool will happen. If it doesn't, don't be discouraged.
All boundaries are self-imposed and so all boundaries must be resolved, circumvented or risen above by yourself. What this 'feels' like or 'looks' like might be different based on your current localized point of perspective, but once you find it, the door is open. You can always shove it open and walk through again.
Q: I like this exercise. Thanks for sharing! However, may I ask for a little clarification?
I understand the bit where you smudge out the boundaries dictating your personal space. I’m not so sure about your mind’s boundaries and what separates you from your parents. Is this more metaphorical, or is it common to ‘feel’ those boundaries after smudging out your body and personal space ones?
It's not metaphorical (any more than everything can be considered a metaphor from one perspective or another). ANY and EVERY limit you encounter is self-defined and arbitrary.
While we conventionally think of ourselves as these little containers of u/mossyeyes or u/miscellaneousrose2, those containers are not all that YOU are. In fact, the only difference between u/mossyeyes and u/miscellaneousrose2 is that you think there is one. You don't have to believe me on this -- I recommend you try it out for yourself and see.
If you're 'not ready' for the 'realization' that you're already everything, then stuff like NevilleGoddard will keep on working for you in whatever degree you think it ought to. But when you're ready, this will be here too.
Q: Oh, I understand what you meant by my being everything! I was just wondering what one would do, in the exercise you suggested, after sort of smudging the boundaries that they'd consider their personal space/bubble. At that point, do you feel that oneness or do you need to keep smudging out whatever boundaries you sense?
If you experience any boundary, that implies a 'line' of some sort or another which implies 'twoness' at the very least, right?
POST: An interesting opinion (/r/DimensionalShifting/)
This doesn't have to be some sort-of strange, abstract theorization. Either it's possible, or it isn't. If it is possible, then you should be able to do it, right?
After you've done it, you'll know how it works and whether or not you can 'carry your memories' of the experience with you. Then you won't need assumptions, opinions, or 2 cents. It's way better than arm chair theorizing.
At the root of this 'Dimensional Shifting' question is another question -- about what 'reality' is and about who and what you are. That's what this thing is really all about. If you're going to stick to a physicalist-materialist perspective on 'specific memories and senses of self are attached to specific physical bodies', doesn't it seem 'odd' that you'd believe a consciousness isn't attached to a specific brain? Doesn't it seem 'odd' within that context, to imagine that it would even be possible for a consciousness to 'jump' from one reality to another by using a couple of glasses with labels on them? At what point do these worldviews collide?
Rather than try to assert some sort of 'rules' or 'limits' on a process you haven't had much experience with, I'd encourage you to explore and push the boundaries of what you think you know. You are more than a brain in a bone jar with some fleshy appendages. You are more than your memories and your memories are more than some fragile electrical bits-and-bobs strung between neurons. There is no one to 'replace' if you 'make a jump'. Consciousness may not be what you think it is -- it may be more, it may be a lot more. There are not some finite number of 'universes' or 'realities' and 'getting to' them is not even all that hard -- you might be doing it right now.
All the limits you are 'assuming' are both arbitrary and self-imposed. It's certainly possible to have your experience play out that way, if you want it to, but there's equally no reason it must play out that way if you don't want it to. Personally, I'd suggest remembering the experience, because it's a lot more fun that way, but that's maybe just my 'interesting opinion'.

A user commented: What's next? I've done everything over and over again. Forgot who I am, know who I am, become FFE, do everything I desire and repeat. That's kind of incredibly boring, low-key.
Answer: Why would Father Line, your total self, all alone, ask what's next? Unless He wanted to do... Wanted to do what?
Left boring and low key, means boundaries. Something more than who you are now, which needs to happen before there can be a next, means putting demands on yourself. FL puts no demands on Himself for a next.
Smell a covert expansion demand being acted on here? – when you were told to pay no attention to them in A Deeper Look?
Also, if you've done everything you desire, how could a sufficient next go unfulfilled? Where is effulgence? Listen to the content of your command denying what ONE All-person does.
The UL info is all about doing what One All-person does. I don't hear that from you.
