(Reality Is An Illusion)

Here I go again with a long thread based on some research I did lately. This one is regarding the famous phrase "Reality Is An Illusion" that I seem to hear often these days. This thread is mostly dedicated to left brainers because right brainers knew all about this a long time ago. Even though this sounds weird, it is not a joke, there is serious science (Quantum Physics) backing up this claim so as any good left brainer would do, watch these clips 1 by 1, take notes, use your own logic and judgement and then keep what makes sense to you. - Step 1: Realizing it - I know that many of you are thinking "...WHAT?...everything around me is an illusion, nah, that can't be, this guy is on drugs". So let's cut to the chase and begin this journey with some science and Quantum Physics. The Quantum Reality - Step 2: Understanding it - You might say "..Ok, science proved that our world is made of atoms which are 99.9999% empty space but where is the proof that everything around us is just an illusion? The proof resides in the fact that it's our consciousness that are putting all the electrons, atoms or the solid object around us including people, cars, homes, etc. In Quantum Physics, this is called "The Observer Effect" and can be explained using this little animation. The Double Slit Experiment - Step 3: Entering Phase I of the Human Game - At this point, you might be thinking..."...Let's say that Quantum Physics is right and that our world has no solid matter and that the double slit experiment is also true, proving that we create the world as we look at it. That would make me some kind of God because everywhere I look I create the world as I go but if i'm in charge of the world I live in, how come I don't see a perfect peaceful world? How come I don't have what I want and see this aweful world where there are wars everywhere, people dying of horrible diseases and where I have money, health and relationship problems? The answer: To play a game. Yup, as silly as it may seem that's what we are here for. I'll let the people from the site lightworker.com explain it... All of us here are gathered in a meadow at the base of a mountain. We are home and we are all playing together in perfect love. A dear brother approaches and says, "Would anyone here like to play a new Game?" "What kind of Game?" You ask. "Is it like the ones we play now?" "No," he replies. "It is like nothing we have ever done before. It will be an elaborate Game with many props and disguises. We will wear veils so that we can no longer see or re-member our true nature, even the veil will be hidden from view. Then we will start the Game and begin to re-member. This veil will be so effective that you will forget not only who you are; you will even forget home. Even as we pass each other on our paths, we will look into each other's eyes and not recognize one another. The veil will be so effective that many will look around at the props and disguises and truly believe that is all there is. You will retain all of your powers, yet you will not re-member how to use them or that they are even there. "The Game will be played in phases and before we start each phase of the Game we may place as many reminders in our path as we wish, to help us re-member. Be advised to place many reminders, for most of you will rationalize them away easily. We will choose the time and place of our entrances and exits on the Gameboard. We will also set up circumstances and lessons we wish to complete while we are under the veil. A tally will be kept and points will accumulate from one phase to the next. This point system will only be used by you to determine what will be included in your next phase. You will not be able to remember from one phase to the next, yet, once mastered, certain attributes may be carried forward into the next phase. You will always carry your core essence and personality, yet you will not re-member that it passes with you through the veil into every phase. "Humor will always be a reminder that passes unchecked through the veil, and if we find you getting too serious we will tickle your funny bone as a reminder that this is only a Game. There will also be many masters available along the way to help us if we wander too far from the path. Oh yes, I almost forgot an important part of the Game... at all times there will be Free Choice. You have complete choice in all matters, you may even choose not to play the Game, or to call in a substitute. You may choose to hide, or you may choose to seek, it is entirely up to you. "On the Gameboard there will be polarity. This has to do with the mechanics of the Gameboard itself, and will be a necessary component as it provides the contrast needed. However, polarity will taint your vision. Through eyes tainted with polarity, you perceive things as Up or Down, Light or Dark, Good or Bad, Love or Fear and Right or Wrong. Do not let this fool you, it is only illusion. "We will all leave our higher aspects of ourselves in a special place for the duration of the Game, otherwise the Game would be much too easy. Your higher self will be available to you at all times. Your challenge will be to learn to access it, and to re-member that it exists as part of yourself. You may choose special loved ones to ride on your shoulder to advise you during the Game. Again, re-membering that they even exist will be a big part of the Game itself. "The goal of the Game will be to see how many can re-member who they are, where they are from, and what powers of creation they have. Once you re-member, then you may re-merge with your higher self and re-create home on the other side of the veil to demonstrate that you have fully re-membered. "So who wants to play?" The group through Steve Rother. Yes, I know, if you are a left brainer like me (MErlin), your head must be spinning now but the more I read about this subject, the more this weird story seems to come back again and again in many books and discussion forums. If you are like me, you listen to all the stories out there (even the weirdest ones) and then you take the ones you like. Anyway, stay with me and let's move on to the rest of the story. This "Human game" seems to be played in different phases. Here are 2 short videos by Robert Scheinfeld regarding these Phase I and II that are part of this human game we are playing. Robert Scheinfeld Vid 1: Robert Scheinfeld Vid 2: So now you might be thinking... "...Ok, if the goal is just to remember who we are, why even start this amnesia game in the first place?". The answer is that if we are God and just by snapping our fingers, we can have all we want instantly, it might be fun for a few days but boring after a while so we decided to play this Human Game by ignoring who we really are (and have fun "suffering" a bit for a change) then have even more fun remembering who we are bit by bit like explains this 2 part video here. Human Game Vid 1: Human Game Vid 2: So now you might ask... "...Alright, so if i'm God, how come I can't fly, snap my fingers and see a million $ appear in my bank account or play the guitar like a God?". The answer can be explained in 1 simple word: BELIEFS. You see, YOU ALREADY know how to fly, make a pile of $$ appear in front of you but you have forgotten how to do it (you are playing the Human game...remember?). Ok so by now you might want to say "...Alright MErlin, now you lost it. You are telling me that I already know how to fly or play the guitar like a pro?". YES...Here's a short story by Klaus Joehle to explain how we do just that.... "...I love watching shows or even watching it in person -- watching someone get hypnotized! I’ve had experience with it myself, not myself being hypnotized but watching someone I know being hypnotized. The hypnotist convinced them that they’d play a guitar. My friend couldn’t play a musical note if you put a gun to his head. In less than a minute this guy was playing a guitar that would put tears to your eyes, incredible! Amazing! After, I said to the hypnotist "Why don’t you just leave him like that, why don’t you just tell him and convince him and say 'You play' and this guy will be an absolute, fantastic, incredibly wealthy and well-known musician by the end of the year?" The hypnotist says to me "I can convince him for a short time. But his belief system inside him that he can’t do it is so great, that over a given time within a few days the suggestion I gave him will wear down." So we would have to reinforce it everyday for a very long period of time. “And because” -- it is also what he said, -- “inside him there’s a belief system that’s been installed since birth and it’s a very set-in belief system -- that you cannot just know something, you have to learn it.” His system is so set-in that the only way we could convince him would be to work with him every day, and at the same time teach him so that his belief system is being fed that he is learning it. Then it would build. For a very short time we can convince him of almost anything but only for a very short time. The rest then has to be built." You see, under hypnosis, we bypass the conscious mind that thinks "...I can't play the guitar like a pro because nobody taught me how to play it" and by going directly to the subconscious mind (who knows everything including how to play the guitar) we can under hypnosis, play without having received a single lesson. In fact, the main goal of this Phase II part, is to remember all those god like powers but slowly, just to make it fun because even though struggling financially or physically is no joke for us humans, snapping our fingers to get all the money/health we want without any effort is no fun either when you are a God or your Expanded self. The real fun is in discovering our powers, not to get them all at once. Remember, there's no hurry here. Re-becoming a god instantly might not be so great after a while. So when you are a god, ignorance is bliss when you think about it. If this Reality is an Illusion, then just like in the movie the Matrix, everything we see, hear, touch, feel, smell and taste are just illusions made real by our brain. Matrix, Cypher Video - Step 4: Phase II of the Human Game: Remembering Who We Are... - Ok, let's do a short recap of what we know so far... 1- This solid world is made of atoms that are made of mostly empty space : 2- Atom/Matter is form when consciousness put it's focus on it (The Observer Effect) making us God like by creating all the world around us just by observing/watching it. 3- The reason why the world around us isn't perfect is that we wanted it that way to play the "Human Game". 4- The Human Game has 2 phases. Phase I where we come here on earth as simple humans thinking that we are ignorant and powerless and later on as we go, Phase II which is the part where we remember that we are in an illusionary world, that we created it to have an experience of feeling powerless and where we slowly remember how powerful we are. Alright so now you might be asking how do we "remember" that we are infinite beings and reclaim all our powers? Just like Neo in the movie Matrix, you might be asking yourself, "...Ok if this is just an illusion, how do we wake up from this illusionary world?".) The answer is by Letting Go of the power that the illusion has over you. In his book "Busting Loose From The Money Game" Robert Sheinfeld talks about Phase I and Phase 2. "...In Phase I of The Human Game, you were taugh to be proactive, go out there and make things happen, take massive action, set goals and achieve them, get the job done. In Phase 2, it's the exact opposite. In Phase 2 you live in what I call reactive mode. You wake up in the morning and wait to see what gets popped into your hologram (3D world around you) and what you feel motivated or inspired to do. When something pops in, you respond to it.When you feel motivated or inspired to do something you do it. You do that all day long. Then you go to bed at night, wake up the next morning, and do it again." Here's a few other clips by Robert to understand a bit better this Phase I and II of the Human Game. Phase I-II Vid 1: Phase I-II Vid 2:   - Step 5: The Key To Phase II: Letting Go...   I just finished reading Robert's book and basically, we start to reclaim our power from the illusion by letting go of it all, by thinking that everything is just an illusion and remove ALL the emotions related to what we created around us, including the wife/husband, friends, job, bank account, etc... When we let go of everything (making money, losing weight, looking for the perfect lover, etc...), this is where our "Expanded Self" as Robert calls it (The Higher Self or the God inside of us) takes over and guides us toward our goals. To understand this concept a little bit more, I invite you to read 2 cool articles called "Deconstructing Reality" and "Letting Your Expanded Self Steer" by Joan Newcomb on her website. This may sound dark and negative but it's like we are little mice trapped in a maze trying to get out of it but we seem to be standing still, running in circle or hitting dead ends. When we decide to let go and let our Expanded Self (Higher Self) guide us, it's like having a GPS and we are given all the right directions to get out of this maze. However, since not everyone is ready to let go of everything, either because they don't believe this Human Game story or that they are affraid that their higher self will not reply or guide them or because they don't have a clue how to get in touch with their Higher Self, if this is your case, here's a few tips that I learned by other teachers during my research. Tip 1. Meditation: Now this one is not for everyone, especially if you are a left brainer thinking that sitting on the floor for many minutes doing nothing might be a waste of valuable time. However, if you can do that, this is the best way to get in touch with your Expanded/Higher self or guides to get some guidance. Tip 2. Use Your Imagination: This one comes from Bashar. According to him, Imagination is the link between you and your Higher Self. Tip 3. Be playful: In this video, Drunvalo Melchizedek is talking about what he learned from the Kahunas in Hawaii, you cannot connect to your Higher Self if you don't first connect to your LOWER Self and the way to connect to your Lower Self is by having fun. The Lower Self is like a child and unless you are having fun and being playful, the Lower Self will not allow you to connect to the Higher Self. Drunvalo Lower Self Tip 4. Focus an Intent for 17 or even 68 seconds straight. This one comes from Abraham/Hicks. Everytime you focus on an intent for 17 seconds, this thought is the equivalent in energy has 2,000 action hours. So before you are about to do something important, focus on the wanted outcome for 17 or more seconds in a row. Abraham-Hicks 17 seconds focus So there you have it. I will leave this page on my website because I will make adjustements as I will learn new stuff. I hope you liked this one. MErlin (Back To Research Page) OR...
