Busting Loose from the Money Game: Mind-Blowing Strategies for Changing the Rules of a Game You Can't Win

The first time I read this book was back in 2006 when it was first released in hardcover. At the time I had been reading self-help books for about 10 years. I had read all of the top selling authors but my life didn't seem to change all that much. I had a very substantial library but the results I was producing didn't seem to mirror all of the information I was consuming. I first found out about Robert Scheinfeld through his 11th Element course that is still being sold on Nightingale.com (these are Phase 1 teachings). His teachings were different but I didn't really understand a lot of what I was listening to but I never forgot about Robert. Then when Busting Loose From the Money came out I bought the book and read it cover to cover. Notice, that I said I read it cover to cover but I didn't do the work. I mainly didn't do it because I was afraid of reclaiming my power from the eggs. The eggs as Robert explains are those things that enable us to buy into the illusion that we are in fact limited beings with limited powers. I was unwilling to run towards something that could potentially be very painful when I didn't have to. Keep in mind calling something painful is a Phase I term that is not actually the Truth that you will ultimately find out once you begin doing Phase 2 work. Phase I - Is doing and living in a way to convince ourselves how helpless and limited we are. We will do anything to keep this illusion alive so that the ultimate game of life works. Phase II - Is telling ourselves the Truth about who we really are so that we can begin to reclaim the power that we've given away so that we can live in a state of continuous Joy regardless of what is going on outside of us. (which in Truth is nothing at all) So I read the book and I ran. Again, I never forgot about the book because it was so different from anything that I had ever read before. Fast forward to 2011 and that's when I could no longer ignore the fact that I was not entering Phase II work. There were a series of events that happened in my life that were so painful that I went looking for answers. I first was led to A Course In Miracles (ACIM) which really blew my mind about what was True and what wasn't. I read alot of the course and I still to this day embrace the teachings in the Course. ACIM says that you either accept The Course in its entirety or not at all. It also clearly states that many of the things you read in the book will be startling, that you may not agree with them but it is the doing/practicing/putting into action those things that will allow you to know that they are True. This is the same thing that drives Busting Loose. I've read tons of reviews where people have not done the work suggested in the book, yet they try to process the information through intellectual reasoning which cannot be done. Everybody wants the orgasm without doing any foreplay. This is simply not how it happens with Phase II work. The majority of the nectar and joy is in the foreplay not when you reach the orgasm which only lasts for a short while but still there are many who wish to jump straight to this point. So this year I bought the Ebook again because things continued to spiral down for me including having a business checking account and savings account being overdrawn by 832,000 in both accounts because of a law suit. This is only the mild portion of what I have been personally able to create in my Hologram. I have some really huge eggs with some tremendous power being stored in them. At the time of this writing I am still afraid but I have no choice now but to use the processes Robert talks about in the book and Bust Loose once and for all. Don't be deceived by the title because this book is about much more than money. In fact, I'd say the title is sexy only because it will intrigue you because once you start this process it affects every aspect of your life. I love simplicity and Robert's book is so simple in that it gives you a framework to work within. No planning, no goals, no attachments, and no expectations. Wake up each morning, see what is causing discomfort for you and apply the tools that he outlines in the book. Now it's simple but it ain't easy and anyone who says that it is may not be telling you the whole Truth. A few more important factors that I'd like to bring out about the book are: 1. Learning to trust my Expanded Self totally is a big key to moving through this process. 2. My Expanded Self will never put more on my plate than I'm capable of handling. 3. There is no such thing as improving the Illusion. How you improve on something that is not true? 4. My Expanded Self will always lead me to the Eggs that have the most power to be reclaimed and I don't have to go looking for it? 5. Infinite is Infinite and it can't be measured. 6. Everybody that I encounter are only characters in my play and can do no more or less than they've been instructed to do. Robert's book has done volumes for me so far and I'm so delighted with myself that I created him to come into my life at this time. This book is not for everyone but if it is for you I promise that you will know it.

It's all an illusion, a hologram, an effect. Consciousness is the True Reality, the cause. Don't judge the hologram as good or bad cuz that gives it power. Appreciate all creation based on the fact that I was powerful enough to create it. Negative experiences are opportunities to reclaim power- so engage, dont push away. Spending Money is paying myself. It is expressing appreciation to the creation of my consciousness. Rich or poor are equal holographic illusions. Life is a Human Game- holographic total immersion movie experience. The goal is to feel emotions to reclaim power. The hologram is not real therefore it has no power. I AM THE POWER. p.133 I appreciate what a miraculous job I did in fooling myself into thinking the illusion was real. WOW. I created this, illusion. I can live in reactive mode. p.123 Detach from results and outcomes. I don't care. p.58 Focus on myself at all times. I follow my motivation + inspiration, moment to moment. Just wait to see what pops into my hologram. p.112 bad feelings...bring 'em on- I'm reclaiming my power. p.125 nothing in the hologram is real and I have all the power. There is nothing to fix. I am perfect. p.126 Phase II isn't better than Phase I, just different. p.85 Money is just the expression of appreciation. p.74 I am the Creator, not the creation. p.186 Nothing matters. Why set goals when I can create anything I want just for the sheer pleasure. Results are irrelevant in the game. p.178 I no longer need to pay attention to numbers. p.176 Story line doesn't matter, details are irrelevant. p.144 Make decisions about what I do as it relates to work based on what is fun for me, instead of what would make money, or whats expected. p.133 I let fo of intellect, logic, figuring things out, and just follow my feelings. p.126 Abundance isn't better than playing Phase I game and being locked into financial limitation- they are equally magnificent creations. p.125 Every creation that pops into my hologram is an absolute miracle. I am a talented and powerful creator (as are you).

I wish I had come across this book when it was first written, though perhaps I came across it at just the right time. It's about more than the money game, it's about the whole game of life. It is very well-constructed and well written. I read it as fast as I could and will re-read it. Thoroughly enlightening, transformational, and enjoyable.

Ce livre est tout smplement excellent. Il nous ouvre à d autres aspects cachés de nous mêmes. Approche radicale !

I have found the concepts and messages in this book useful in practicing mindfulness (cultivating awe and gratitude for life). However I unfortunately feel the writing and the way the messages are delivered are too poor to recommend this book to my friends. The author is trying too hard to convince the reader to be open to the wildness of his theory, which is annoying when most readers are probably sufficiently open minded considering that the book title alone gives you an idea of how quirky the book is.

This book is definitely not what I expected!!!! I expected saving and investing advice, how to plan for retirement.. just the usual financial advice. However! As a big fan of all metaphysical and philosophical things, I was super pleasantly surprised!!! Not even one thing in there advised anything on traditional financing, but rather, a way on how to literally bust loose from the rat wheel all together!!! Once I got 3/4 of the way through, I realised the phase 2 living, the way it is once you bust loose, is actually sort of how my life has been for the last 7 years…. But this book helped me finally realise what was happening to me, and why I live the way I do!!!!!! Money always comes to me at the right time for anything I need, without worry. Anyways, this book, I would not recommend to most people as it’s veryyyyy out there, however, when this book finds the right person, at the right time!!!!!! It will make you level up! I have just ordered all Roberts other books, absolutely excited!

This book have me hope - when I had none. It is the introductory book to a new way of living. Buy it. You will enjoy it. I promise.

I had become despondent and disillusioned in my life - having worked diligently at visualization through meditation - but to no avail - I was still unhappy and frustrated and felt stagnant. My life now, though not changed drastically (yet), is so much more intriguing. Everything suddenly makes sense and I am happy ALL THE TIME! Mini miracles have occurred since I adopted the philosophies in the book, like my shaver blade disappearing and then re-appearing on the ledge of my bathtub! I know that sounds absurd, but it's the truth. Robert Scheinfeld's book surpasses all, and I mean ALL, the self-help and 'spirituality' teachings I've read about... and I've read a lot. With each book I read, I learned to look at life in a slightly different way, resembling a sort of evolution in persective; perhaps all in preparation for this mind-blowing book! Don't be fooled by the title (I was). It's so much more than the title indicates. A visit to his website ([...]) will give you a clearer idea of what his book is about. Like all spirituality books, if the book is meant for you, you'll feel a definite resonance. And to the sceptics: You needn't believe what he says, just try his suggestions; if you try sincerely, you'll be amazed at the results! Enjoy your holograms!!
