This will come as a surprise to many but I agree, The Doorman is not automatically bad. I don't think that it's waiting anxiously to dump in the trash all your wish requests that you want to send to you SM.
However, even if The Doorman is not bad or evil in itself, THE JOB that he is doing attracts us BAD results.
For example, let's say you are sick and have very bad back pains. If you say the affiramtion line "Your back is now perfectly fine and healthy" all day long, that wish will mostly be rejected by your Doorman because he doesn't believe that line since you had this back pain for years now so saying that it's fine is NOT TRUE so your Doorman will do its job of rejecting that false statement and your SM will never get that wish and will never get a chance to fix you.
The filtration in itself is not bad but the end result (keeping your back pains) really IS. You see the difference?
I agree with you, and I'd like to say though, that without the doorman we wouldn't have our individuality. Like you say about it being a collective consciousness creation, without it we'd be pure. We'd only know one state, the greatest one. But if you've growing up all life eating only the finest steak, you're not going to appreciate it the way someone else would that is unfortunate enough to have only lived on the most basic of food rations. A day in your life would be a trip to Heaven for them. So it's worth remembering that the doorman may create bad results in life but through those bad results we learn to appreciate the better things that happen to us. And from all these different beliefs we learn to become individuals.

I would challenge anyone who can prove me otherwise by picking together a new goal (ex: $50,000) where they would go with their method of "Consciously creating their life" and I would go with my Subconscious method aka NAPs and we'll see who manifests it faster.
No doubt about it, you'd manifest it quicker. I still believe it is possible to consciously shift your beliefs, however it does take too much time and effort, something most people can't afford to give. After all, the beliefs are mainly based on repetition, repeat something enough and you can change the old belief. But like I said, it'll take way too long to consciously shift a belief, so yes, the Night Audio Program is the best solution - or hypnotherapy once you're skilled in quieting your brainwaves. I've had enjoyable shifts with hypnosis, the only problem is it's much less convenient than using NAP's. But that's why I'm experimenting with combining them both. I've written up 2 of my own hypnotic scripts and I play them continuously as I sleep, with the standard affirmation NAP's playing at a little lower volume so better separate the 2.
But that wasn't the point I was making. The most natural state we can be in is consciously creating. The only reason we can't do that is because of all the negative beliefs holding us back from doing so.
I think you may have misunderstood me when I suggested picking affirmations to rewrite beliefs, I was referring to the affirmations you'd put into your NAP. After all they are affirmations that go into the Night Audio Program. I worded it that way to avoid confusion, to distinguish between multiple lines in an NAP, and multiple NAPs - I guess I failed in that attempt, haha.
I've only been studying the Law of Attraction for about 6 and a half months but I've read a lot of stuff and have found it all very easy to absorb. Shortly after starting the LoA, with my knowledge on neuroscience, hypnotherapy, NLP, and even binaural beats/isochronic tones, I came to the conclusion that sleeping to affirmations would work. Your name had been thrown around a forum I visited and looked it up. I found my theory was right, and was grateful that someone had done all the research, as to be honest, I would've probably not even had it in me to delve deeper. I started using them for less than a week but couldn't sleep through them so I'd turn them off after an hour or 2. Last week I realised that week was my best I've had since studying the LoA so I decided to start back up again. I started my NAP's over again though, so I'm only 3 days into my current ones.
So yeah, I'm definitely 100% behind you in the power of NAP's.

Then you are bound to repeat the same mistake that I did in 2004 where I did a NAP to implant in my SM a new belief that attracts me $5,000/month only to see the old limiting beliefs eat at it in the months that followed so I lost it all back and I'm not alone here.
No, no I won't. I already know about the saboteur. Mine is an evil little... but I now accept it's there because I've allowed it to develop within me. I know all too well that you need to keep at something for 1-3 months for it to become permanent. But you're missing the point. You can't create a negative belief from positive thoughts. If there is something you currently do not have a belief about then being positive towards it can only produce a positive belief.
Anyway, it's a moot point. If you attain everything in life that you want then you should naturally be more positive. If you're still thinking negatively then you're still not happy.
I don't keep a positive attitude to manifest things in my life. I told myself shortly after taking up the LoA that the shift in my perception of the world was enough for me to stay positive, even if it meant not manifesting anything. My contentment was enough. What's the point in chasing dreams if you attain them all and you're still not happy? I'd rather be someone that has nothing and is happy than someone that has everything and is miserable. I actually pity those that are making like 10times+ more money than me, yet are so stressed and are having to make work their life's priority to maintain their lifestyle.
I judge a persons success based on how happy they were/are throughout their life, not the money/power/influence they have.

Thinking positive can never be a waste of time. I'm baffled by your seeming resentment towards being positive and happy. If that's the way you look at life then you'll get everything you
think you want and still not be happy. Because without the foundation of positive thinking how do you know your desires aren't just based on beliefs to attract more reasons to be unhappy and negative?
And if you want to know why we naturally embed negative beliefs easier than positive ones it's because in this modern age the average person has about 90% negative thoughts. Imagine the power we'd have if we were 90% positive thinking and without any limiting beliefs. In theory we'd be gods. But right now we don't deserve that right. 90% negative beliefs would produce hell on Earth if we were allowed to consciously manifest.
Huh... so which one is it?
What? When did I said that I don't want to be positive and happy?
