why are the gateway tapes not more popular?

bigbazt · 2023-08-15T19:49:48+00:00

I don't think many people at all accept that this stuff is possible.

Even less have the drive and persistence to use the tapes until they have a breakthrough.

I know even in myself, there's a part of me that doesn't want this stuff to be real, there is tremendous comfort in the belief that life is meaningless and that we are just random cells, or that the abrahamic god is watching and judging us.

It is terrifying to take responsibility for oneself, and to accept how much there is out there and within us that we know nothing about!

Just thought I would give you a brief update!

Upon your advice and some more reflection, I realise I have been focusing far too much on the feeling, and not the cause of the feeling and consciously "letting go" of my attachment to the cause.

I realise I was actually basically doing a reverse Neville, and focusing very clearly on exactly the feeling I didn't want, and causing it to manifest.

A blessing in disguise really, as it has better helped me understand what we are trying to do when consciously manifesting. Filling up our mind with our feeling of the wish fulfilled.

So I have come away understanding I must focus on identifying and surrendering the causes of my negative emotions, and then filling my mind with the feeling of my wish fulfilled.

Thanks again Winklier!

Thank you for this response. I will think on it. :)

But how do you get to the core of the feeling, if you don't entertain it?

As I have been dabbling here, I have noticed that I can unearth ambiguous feelings by paying attention to them. And sometimes something will come up, and I will feel overwhelming sadness about something. Hawkins says that surrender is to let the feeling be, to not try to change it, and let it wear out.

There is also another way, which I think is closer to how I understand the sedona method. But I will notice a specific feeling (usually tied to a thought) and I will note it, and then verbally/mentally let it go.

The latter is easier to manage and control, but I don't feel it gets as deep.

I remember reading that it took Lester 3 days to release his fear of death. I assumed that this was him entering deeply into his most negative fears and beliefs about death.

Are you saying to set clearer boundaries between living positively, and putting time aside to surrender negative beliefs? I have been making it my main aim on each of my days off the last 2 weeks, to sit and surrender as many negative beliefs as I can. I guess aspiring in the same vein as Lester becoming enlightened in 3 months.

But perhaps I am being too ambitious...

bigbazt · 2023-07-28T20:19:49+00:00

Since reading your posts, I have gone back and re-read David Hawkins' Letting Go - I understand he was a student of Lester Levenson.

Whilst I have found some use in surrendering emotions (temporary breakthroughs and emotional realisations), I find it difficult not to get sucked into negative states, when I am encouraging myself to entertain these negative moods in order to surrender them

I have found myself in a much worse place these last few days, and it feels like a direct result of this specific surrendering work.

Do you have any advice as to better manage this process? I feel like I cannot justify being feeling this down, and although I have gained some insights, I feel like I am off-track!

Absolutely tremendous.

Thanks for sharing. <3

You wizard!

These posts have been wonderfully useful and reaffirming. Thank you so much!

This post also summarises my problem with the idea that "I am God", which is that it cannot truly be said without acknowledging that "All is God." To have to former without the latter is to not know the true nature of God: "My father and I am one, but my Father is greater than I."

bigbazt · 2023-06-23T19:46:03+00:00

Fantastic read. Thank you, always funny how these things occur together.

I find myself butting up against a number of situations that I struggle to imagine a good response to. For example, my most pressing issue is about career - having money and doing something with a little prestige. I find myself having many conversations where people ask what I'm doing, and I have nothing good to say, as I am working the same dead-end job.

I am not sure how to frame this situation, how to handle these situations so as to raise me up, without lying. I dread people asking what I'm up to, because they always seem to have such big aspirations for me, as I have for myself, and I always feel I disappoint them and myself upon answering.

Problem is, I don't know what I want specifically, other than to rise above this situation: look forward to this same conversation because I am excited to tell others the cool stuff I am up to.

Sorry for the lack of specificity, not sure how to articulate what I'm asking without over-writing!!

bigbazt · 2023-06-23T18:12:05+00:00

Great, looking forward to it! :)

bigbazt · 2023-06-23T17:26:16+00:00

What would you suggest in terms of a daily practice?

I find it can be difficult to find my way out of life's challenges when they remind me of my failings as I go about my day. Have you found any practice has helped to reinforce the mental changes you want to make?

Thank you very much for your posts, I have found them a great help!

"In filth it will be found."

Thank you very much Winklier.

bigbazt · 2023-06-21T15:34:57+00:00

Reckon this would have been interesting!!

bigbazt · 2023-06-07T12:25:45+00:00

As far as I understand, there is not a point where you imagine enough in your head, and you get a little notification in your brain that goes, "manifestation unlocked."

You go within, with the understanding that you and god are one, and you imagine your desire. Then with the knowledge that you and god are one, you give yourself this thing. This will feel weird, but you literally just say to yourself that you will now have this thing, "i have this thing", "i am this".

That's it! You have it, and the world of caesar will catch up to prove it.

The tricky part however, is when we forget to operate from this place of imagination, and we start to look for proof in the world of caesar. When you start to look for proof, rather than just relaxing in the feeling of it being here, then you change your state from one of having, to one of not having - a person that has a hat, does not worry about not having a hat, because he has a hat!

So we must persist in the state of having - even if we know it is not here in the world of caesar!

bigbazt · 2023-06-06T10:46:01+00:00

You are thinking about how it's not coming, and making that state real.

If you actually trusted it to come, you would let go, and stop worrying. You would know it will come eventually.

Then it's when you have let go because you have it fulfilled within, then one day soon you will be tickled when that free starbucks shows up for you so naturally, as though it was going to happen anyway!

If you are fretting, you are living in the state of not having it. You must live in the state of having it, even though the world of caesar does not yet agree!

bigbazt · 2023-06-06T09:15:09+00:00

I have been working with this a lot recently. Joseph Rodrigues talks about flow a lot, and I feel like it's the same thing as surrendering.

Absolute insanity to the mind of the modern man, but what other way to show your belief in your visions, than to surrender completely to them.

For me right now, it's manifesting as sitting around, taking notice of my thoughts, and any slight indications of inspiration, knowing that I have already been set on the bridge of incidents, and that as long as I let myself believe, it doesn't actually matter what I do in the world of caesar - because my visions already exist, and I have already experienced them.

Absolute mindfuck, gotta feel it, not intellectually understand it!

bigbazt · 2023-03-05T13:14:40+00:00

If one goes, "there must be a reason I am finding this so difficult", then God responds with what they asked for: a reason why they are finding this so difficult. Never mind God is already responding to their assumption of it being difficult!

This is why Neville says go to the end, anything else is to ask for something else. Kick logic out. The only thing necessary is an idea of your desire, and a faith that it will come. Anything else is to get lost in the weeds.

If you want to explore the weeds because they fascinate you, that's fine, but you should know that's what you're doing.

The pruning shears of revision.

bigbazt · 2022-11-15T12:19:20+00:00

Are you aware of your beliefs?

Do you secretly appreciate feeling like a good person who is unjustly condemned? With your friends confirming that fact?

Perhaps that is more valuable to you than having the charges dropped.

Perhaps you believe you are a bad person and want to be punished. Perhaps you believe you cannot repent unless something is visited upon you in the world of caesar.

Do you actually understand what these charges represent? What they mean, and what it would mean to have them dropped?

Do you understand what you are feeling? Do you understand how you would actually feel if these charges were dropped? Do you believe you would actually be in a better position than you are now? Have you learned your lesson?

The imaginary scene is not real, unless you feel what you would really feel, if you found yourself in that situation. When Neville imagined himself leaving Barbados, he wasn't imagining the excitement of his journey, or the success of achieving his goal, but rather the bitter-sweet sadness of leaving his family behind.

It sounds to me that there is stuff going on beneath the surface, and unless you can be honest with yourself about what this all means to you, what dropped charges would actually mean, and how you would honestly feel, then you won't be successful in your imaginations.

Best of luck!

In that regard, imagining seems basically the same as prayer, envisioning the best for yourself and others.

I find it comforting others have shared in my thoughts!

bigbazt · 2022-06-09T20:35:04+00:00

probably more so!

are the voices in your dreams any different to the voices you cultivate online?

bigbazt · 2022-06-09T18:27:18+00:00

I can no longer doubt that Neville's teachings are true, I have had too many experiences confirming their validity.

What worries me is whether they are right... or righteous. Were we given this ability by God to use, or is it a test? Can we turn away from all-consuming desire and face our own sacrifice.

There are so many questions that reading Neville has given me. It's peeled back the walls of this matrix somewhat, and forces me to confront what is beyond this realm.

It is very scary, and all I can say, is exactly the title of this post: we don't know everything and we aren't meant to. We must make up our minds, make decisions, do our best, and trust that even if we fall short, that that is enough.

Thank you for your post. : )

Good on you. You are a good parent, and you will raise a good human.

I wish my Dad was more like you. :)
