and simply give them a bit more class?

It's simply VERY hard to believe that countries couldn't embark on a massive program to force this type of technology to market.

From Umguy at Ideological Putty, and from Sean at Deep Surface.

Both are useful posts, in that they point out the conflation between 1st person and 3rd person points of views.

Still  - as Sean points out - there is something very attractive in Pavlina's second post about subjective reality, around how he describes intention:

Essentially, you don’t do anything aside from put out intentions and then watch them manifest.  Your body’s role is to be a vehicle for manifesting.  It’s as if your body no longer has free will because your consciousness is no longer centered there.  You cease to identify with your body.  Your free will comes from your connection to higher consciousness and your ability to create and hold intentions.

Imagine you put out some intentions while in a state of God-consciousness.  Partly you’ll see changes in the physical universe occurring, but you’ll also witness your physical body taking actions to carry out those intentions.  The body and its actions become things you observe rather than things you identify with.

So if you put out an intention, you might observe your physical body doing writing or other work… almost on autopilot.  But even as you watch the body perform these actions, you don’t identify with it.  That body is not the real you — it is simply a vehicle for manifesting in the physical universe

This is also what Jay is attempting to focus on - the connecting tissue between the subjeective, non-dual self, and how the power of creativity manifests in a person's life.

This creative self - I would say that Ken Wilber identifies as the centaur self.

I believe that Steve Pavlina, may take for granted his own personal mastery here, and so have no need to center his experience in a "philosophy", because he is practically minded - people who have such mastery, with good and balanced development of the earlier psychological needs, will naturally begin to expand into the centauric realm - creating exciting vistas of meaning, passion, and NOVELTY into the world.
