It is a fascinating process. A self-working individual will be sitting around home one day when the startling thought occurs, "Here I am, sitting around, doing nothing of interest, nothing to hope for, no one to talk with-and I am not~depressed. "He knows what would have happened a year or two ago in a similar situation. He would have trembled at the nothing-ness, at the lack of outside stimulation. But he has changed. He is no longer at the mercy of moods. He sees through the bluffs of negative impressions. He is quietly there. And that's all there is to it.

Everything is real. It is not an illusion, it is not fake. We cannot know the nature of reality, but there is no reason that I see to consider that there is something that is more real than this, and that we are not part of that. This is the reality and through Stephen's superlative work we have a model of how it works that is incredibly useful in challenging the standard (and utterly false) model.
What is an illusion is the story that the society tells about reality. The society is a cult, 7.8 billion members strong. The society's members chant all day every day, a message about control that is false and messages about cause and effect that are false. Its members, you and I, also chant. That self talk going on in your head, that is the chanting.
The society says that you are provided for through the work of your own hands; through your own efforts. This is false. Although there are probably many other false messages, challenging that one is the focus of my own path.
It is natural to be depressed. When you come out of the cult, you are truly alone. There is no-one to hear your story or your voice. There area only 7.8 billion cult members chanting.
Also, as a product of this cult, you are inclined to revert to it. If you spend a half a century fearing that you will lose your house because you lost your job, or because your health changed, you will not instantly lose that. For me it is taking years.
I don't give recommendations but if I did I'd say "pray for a health "crisis" preferably something fairly debilitating, perhaps with permanent effects and with plenty of pain". When that prayer is answered it provides a level of clarity that is unparalleled. You will never see a sunset so beautiful as when you are looking at it from the edge of death's door. Through a brush with death you will understand with crystal clarity the value of your life.
I think it is interesting that Sebastian says that he feels that "this book is destroying me". This is in alignment with exactly what Stephen, Jed and others who have seen through the false message of the society have said. Once you wake up, there is no going back, and at first it is very uncomfortable.
The idea that there is something to fear in the loss of cult membership is natural but false. There is nothing to fear. But it is completely different and once you step out that door nothing will ever be the same, especially your relationships with others. -

Dear Stephen
First of all I would like to ask how are you? What are you doing in your life now? are you writing any new books? are you happy? Do you have people around you that you love? I'm asking because since I've started reading your book in 2015, I feel like I'm in never ending ,, The dark night of the soul''. How is this possible with this knowledge I feel so depressed. I know it's just a game and not real at all but it is so difficult to understand this intelectualy and start act, start doing something, sometimes I feel this book is destroing me, like it want to take my life and end this suffer. I have no motivation to work, or to do anything. Should I just wait, or there is something to speed up the process? I wish I know what to do next. Do you know anyone in UK I could speak about your model, Maybe there is some group I could met? -

Dear Sebastian,
Going through the cocoon is not a "group" thing. So I'm not aware of any groups anywhere that you could meet. Here's what I suggest. Do Spiritual Autolysis on the belief that "this book is destroying me," and send it to me. I will take a look and see if I can make a suggestion or two about your work that might help. Email your Spiritual Autolysis to support at butterfliesfree.com.

Hello Stephen.
I love your book and the concepts put forth therein.
The only thing I can't wrap my head around is the concept of the
"Infinite I". By definition, anything infinite can't be multiple. In other words,
if my I is infinite, it has to be the only one. There can't be multiple infinite I's.
So either we all have the same infinite I or there are multiple I's that aren't
infinite. Perhaps you are defining infinite as unlimited.
I welcome your thoughts. That is the only part that I don't understand.
Thank you for a wonderful book!

Dear Mike,
Wow, that's more technical than I was shooting for. Mainly I wanted to draw a distinction between a Finite Player and its non-finite creator, and as I said in the book, there were really no good terms for that creator. Not God, Not Higher Self, etc. So Infinite I was the best I could come up with, and I realize it has its limitations and contradictions. Maybe I should have gone with Non-Finite I.

Dear Stephen,
Thank you so much for your priceless book and sharing it with us. I have read it several times and each time I perceive something new.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. According to what I got from this book, my INFINITE (I) has a special plan for me which is designed uniquely for me. Now I'm in a situation that literally I do NOTHING. I try my best and I end up nowhere. I don't want to judge myself and my situation, but I feel even plants are more active and more beneficial for themselves and their habitats.
Is it what my INFINITE (I) designed for me or I have to do something different?!
Thank you so much for time -

Dear Ela,
Yes, your Infinite I chooses the holographic experiences it wants you to have. Beyond that I don't understand your question. It sounds like you are saying that you do nothing, but that you try your best to do nothing. If you are "trying your best," then you aren't doing nothing.
If you are saying that you find it difficult to simply wait and observe what's going on around you without taking action, and then taking action only when it's appropriate or when you are excited to do so, that's perfect. And yes, it can be hard to learn how to do that. But keep practicing doing nothing and it will become second nature to you after a while.

Hallo good sir. This is blackswan777 again. I'm now read your book for the 2nd time and beginning to run Robert's Proccss for all my opinion, belief and all the situation that makes me uncomfortable
im in my early forty years old. Here in Indonesia, i have many friends (mostly human adults) who loves to talks about law of attraction, spirituality, meditation, and all new age things like merkabah, shamballa MDH, reiki, etc
I tell them that im fascinated by your works. I share to them your videos and ebook. But most of them do not interested.
There is actually one of them who already read your ebook in 2013, but she tell me that: "this is to much... this is makes me affraid, so i dont want to open that back door in the theatre"
dear sir, i thougt that i can build a group of cocoon with my friends and we can proceed together. But im wrong. Im alone in this process but determine to go forward to the pacific ocean and never go back
im so grateful for my "Infinite I" and you, sir as my scout in this holographic experience of mine. Thank you from the deep of my existence -

No, a group cocoon doesn't work. It's a very private, individual place. But maybe one or two of them might be there when you get out. Let's see what they say then...

I really resonate with your messages. I have collected some opinions of mine and would like to briefly share them with you.
as-gard.com - This site gives some weird but well structured "ideas" of what we are living right now, including our using a "helmet" and other (a little bit repetitious) threads. What I found odd about this site is that the author seems to "know it all", which makes me think it's not 100% reliable.
http://web.archive.org/web/20070916093051/http://www.luciferianliberationfront.org/borg.html
Again about the merkabah and other things about the unity idea.
A quote from the movie "Monty Python"
Exec #1: Item six on the agenda: "The Meaning of Life" Now uh, Harry, you've had some thoughts on this.
Exec #2: Yeah, I've had a team working on this over the past few weeks, and what we've come up with can be reduced to two fundamental concepts. One: People aren't wearing enough hats. Two: Matter is energy. In the universe there are many energy fields which we cannot normally perceive. Some energies have a spiritual source which act upon a person's soul. However, this "soul" does not exist ab initio as orthodox Christianity teaches; it has to be brought into existence by a process of guided self-observation. However, this is rarely achieved owing to man's unique ability to be distracted from spiritual matters by everyday trivia.
Exec #3: What was that about hats again.
Also, I'd like to share an idea of mine about the red (exit) color so used in many different literary contexts: some sort of correlation between red pill and red poppy used by Morpheus in greek myth - also in Snow White's apple, Aurora's red rose, Alice's red queen, Dorothy's red sleepers, Beast's red rose, all pointing to some sort of "death" or "exit" or whatever.
I suppose there is some way out from this supposedly illusionary reality we live: through dreaming. I don't know exactly how the intersection between flesh and consciousness exists and if it is "freeable", but as seen in so many movies symbolically by sleeping figures, our exit is somewhere there. I searched about astral projection and tried to do it, but was never successful. Once it happened, but accidentally (and never again). Being lucid while "dreaming" is very difficult, exiting the flesh while dreaming is even harder, almost impossible.
Finally, our eyes (plato's cave exit) hide some sort of missing link with our soul; the eye may be the seashell for a cornucopia's small door. But how can we humans comprehend the powers of a dreaming state to control it and exit this genius disguised cell called body?
Morpheus being Neo's Plato practical figure rings many bells, including all symbolisms. There is an exit, the god of sleep shows it via some red thing.
In an episode from "Adventure Time" called "Hall of Egress", there's an interesting quote athat sounds for me a reference to the eye: "At a seashell center lies the cornucopia smallest door" seashell, see-shell (eye), cornucopia, cornea.
Many regards,
A friend. -

Dear Niko,
I'm afraid I didn't follow most of that (with the exception of the Monty Python skit, which I was familiar with). It did seem to me that you were really focused on "exiting the flesh," which is a common mistake many people make who think they are seeking enlightenment or some other "spirituality." If you would run The Process and do Spiritual Autolysis on the belief that anyone could or should "exit this genius disguised cell called body," you might be surprised and your search might take a new direction. I can only say that accepting the body and becoming grateful for it is one of the keys to becoming a butterfly.

Hi Stephen, I’ve commented on here a couple of times over the past couple of years after I watched your videos and read your book. It’s funny because I thought I had walked through the theater door but now I’m not sure I did.
About a year before I found your info I went through a major life event and left Christianity and finally woke up. But since I found you I have been hungry for info about what else is out there besides christianity.
Every few months after I learned about a new alternative way of thinking I always come back to your book. But I still wasn’t quite sure or 100% committed to doing the process.
I recently started to read a couple more books and got a couple of chapters in and of course here I am.
So I decided to reread your book from the very beginning and I guess I’ve been in the library. Everything makes so much more sense now and I’m now ready to fully with both feet to walk out the door and I’m so excited and relieved to be done searching for the “different way of thinking” and to just get on with being in my cocoon.
So thank you for being you and for being my scout. -

Subterfuges
Only those who live outside of art draw the ultimate consequences. Suicide, sanctity, vice—so many forms of lack of talent Direct or disguised, confession by word, sound, or color halts the agglomeration of inner forces and weakens them by projecting them back toward the world outside. It is a salutary diminution which makes every act of creation into a coefficient of escape. But the man who accumulates energies lives under pressure, a slave to his own excesses; nothing keeps him from foundering in the absolute. . . .

Us- The ugly and the stupid have the best of it in this world. They can sit at their ease and gape at the play. If they know nothing of victory, they are at least spared the knowledge of defeat. They live as we all should live--undisturbed, indifferent, and without disquiet. They neither bring ruin upon others, nor ever receive it from alien hands

Dear Jen,
I approved this comment, even though you didn't credit the actual author, Oscar Wilde. You also left off the first line: "It is better not to be different from one’s fellows. The ugly and the stupid have the best of it in this world...."
It is from Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray," and only really makes sense in its context, where Basil is explaining why he would not want to be beautiful. And I can't say that I agree with the sentiment.
It might seem like I would agree with "They live as we all should live--undisturbed, indifferent, and without disquiet." However, that's not how I would describe the life of a butterfly.
