Introduction: Beyond the Illusion to Ultimate Freedom
What if everything you believed about money, success, and reality itself was an elaborate illusion—a game you’ve been playing without knowing the rules? Robert Scheinfeld’s “Busting Loose from the Money Game” doesn’t just challenge our assumptions about wealth; it demolishes the entire framework of limitation we’ve accepted as reality. As the most radical pillar in the COE philosophy trilogy, this book takes consciousness-based reality creation to its ultimate conclusion: complete liberation from all illusions of limitation.
Where Napoleon Hill teaches us to succeed within the game and Vadim Zeland shows us how to navigate between different versions of reality, Scheinfeld reveals something profound: the game itself is our creation, and we can choose to stop playing by its limiting rules entirely. This isn’t about making more money or achieving conventional success—it’s about recognizing yourself as the infinite creative force behind all experience.
For students of the COE reality hack program ready to embrace the deepest truth about consciousness and creation, “Busting Loose” provides both the philosophical framework and practical tools for the ultimate transformation. It’s the graduation ceremony from seeking to change your circumstances to recognizing yourself as the source of all circumstances.
Phase 1 vs Phase 2: The Ultimate Paradigm Shift
Scheinfeld’s core insight divides human experience into two distinct phases, representing not just different levels of success but entirely different relationships with reality itself:
Phase 1: The Limitation Game In Phase 1, we experience ourselves as limited beings in a world of scarcity, competition, and external power. We believe money is real, resources are finite, and we must work hard to survive and thrive. Even our spiritual practices in Phase 1 are about trying to get something, achieve something, or become something we’re not.
This phase serves a purpose—to let us experience limitation, vulnerability, and powerlessness as the opposite of our true infinite nature. It’s like a cosmic virtual reality game where unlimited beings play at being limited. Every struggle, fear, and limitation is a creation of consciousness designed to provide the experience of what we’re not.
Phase 2: The Truth Game Phase 2 begins when we “bust loose” from the illusion and remember who we really are—infinite consciousness creating every aspect of experience. Money becomes a complete non-issue because we recognize it as just another creation of consciousness. Resources appear as needed without effort because we’re no longer playing by Phase 1 rules of earning and deserving.
This isn’t about manifesting within the current system—it’s about recognizing the system itself as our creation and choosing to play by entirely different rules. It’s the ultimate application of the COE principle that we create everything, taken to its logical conclusion.
The Process: Your Tool for Dismantling Illusions
At the heart of Scheinfeld’s system is “The Process”—a six-step technique for reclaiming power from limiting illusions. Unlike conventional emotional release techniques, The Process recognizes that what we experience as problems are actually pockets of our own power hidden in the hologram of experience.
Step 1: Dive into the Discomfort When any limiting experience arises—financial fear, relationship conflict, health concern—dive directly into the feeling without trying to fix or avoid it. Experience it as pure energy, like a hurricane or whirlpool of sensation.
Step 2: Feel it Fully Amplify the feeling to its maximum intensity. This seems counterintuitive, but you’re actually feeling your own creative power disguised as discomfort. The stronger the feeling, the more power hidden within it.
Step 3: Tell the Truth At peak intensity, declare the truth: “I am the Power and Presence of God creating this. It’s not real. It’s completely made up. It’s a creation of my consciousness.” This isn’t positive thinking—it’s recognizing the actual source of all experience.
Step 4: Reclaim Your Power State with authority: “I reclaim my power from this creation NOW!” Feel the energy that was locked in the illusion flowing back to you. This is the actual mechanism for collapsing limiting patterns.
Step 5: Open to Your Infinite Nature Expand into the feeling of being infinite consciousness—unlimited, all-powerful, all-knowing. Replay the triggering scene while merged with this infinite energy until only the expansion remains.
Step 6: Appreciate Your Creation Marvel at your creative power—at how convincingly you created the illusion. This appreciation completes the cycle, transforming what seemed like a problem into recognition of your creative mastery.
The Holographic Reality Model
Scheinfeld presents reality as a holographic creation where you are simultaneously the projector, the film, and the screen. This isn’t metaphor—it’s his model for how consciousness actually creates experience:
You as Projector: Your Expanded Self (true infinite nature) projects the hologram of your life experience.
You as Film: Your beliefs, patterns, and “eggs” (stored power) determine what images appear.
You as Screen: Your consciousness is the field where all experience appears.
You as Audience: You experience the hologram as if you’re separate from it, forgetting you’re creating it all.
This model explains why changing external circumstances never brings lasting satisfaction—you’re trying to change the movie by manipulating the screen instead of changing the film in the projector. The Process works by going directly to the source—reclaiming the power hidden in limiting patterns so new experiences can be projected.
Money as the Ultimate Illusion
Scheinfeld’s treatment of money is perhaps the most radical aspect of his teaching. He doesn’t teach better money management or abundance thinking—he reveals money itself as a complete illusion with no independent existence or power.
In Phase 1, we play the “Money Game” with rules like:
- You must earn before you can spend
- Resources are limited and must be competed for
- More money equals more security and happiness
- External circumstances determine financial situation
These rules seem absolutely real and binding—until you recognize them as arbitrary creations of consciousness. In Phase 2, money appears when needed without any relationship to earning, saving, or managing. This isn’t magic—it’s the natural result of recognizing money as just another prop in the hologram.
Scheinfeld shares numerous examples of Phase 2 players who live without budgets, business plans, or financial worry, yet money flows abundantly to support their creative expression. They’ve transcended the entire framework that keeps most people trapped in financial stress.
The Expanded Self: Your True Identity
Central to busting loose is recognizing the distinction between your limited self (the character in the hologram) and your Expanded Self (the infinite consciousness creating it all). Your Expanded Self:
- Possesses infinite power, wisdom, and abundance
- Creates every detail of your experience with perfect precision
- Always supports your highest good, even through challenging experiences
- Operates from total love and acceptance
- Has no needs, lacks, or limitations
This isn’t about connecting to some external higher power—it’s recognizing that YOU are that power, playing an elaborate game of limitation to experience the opposite of your true nature. Every problem, every limitation, every fear is your creation, designed to provide specific experiences in the Phase 1 game.
Breaking Free from Collective Illusions
One of the most challenging aspects of busting loose is releasing collective illusions that seem absolutely real because everyone agrees on them. These include:
Economic Systems: The belief that economics follows fixed laws rather than being collective consciousness creations.
Physical Laws: Even seemingly absolute laws like gravity are revealed as agreements within the hologram.
Time and Space: Linear time and three-dimensional space are constructs that can be transcended in Phase 2.
Other People: The most radical revelation—others in your hologram are also your creations, reflecting aspects of your consciousness.
This doesn’t mean becoming delusional or denying practical reality. It means recognizing these as the “rules” of the Phase 1 game that you can choose to transcend while still functioning within them as needed.
The Network of Eggs: Unraveling Limitation Patterns
Scheinfeld uses the metaphor of “eggs” to describe how our power becomes hidden in limitation patterns. These eggs aren’t isolated—they form interconnected networks like neural pathways or root systems. This explains why working on one issue often resolves seemingly unrelated problems.
For example, a money limitation egg might be connected to:
- Childhood experiences of lack
- Beliefs about deserving and worth
- Relationship patterns around power
- Health issues related to stress
- Career limitations and self-expression blocks
When you apply The Process to any discomfort, you’re not just addressing that specific issue—you’re unraveling entire networks of limitation. Each application weakens the overall structure until you reach the “Busting Loose Point” where the entire Phase 1 illusion collapses.
Living in Phase 2: Ultimate Freedom Realized
What does life look like after busting loose? According to Scheinfeld and those who’ve made the transition:
Money: Becomes a complete non-issue. It appears as needed without effort, planning, or worry.
Work: Transforms from survival necessity to creative expression. You do what brings joy without concern for income.
Relationships: Based on appreciation and play rather than need or manipulation.
Health: Physical well-being reflects inner harmony without obsessive management.
Emotions: Constant underlying joy regardless of circumstances, with full freedom to feel all emotions without attachment.
Purpose: Living itself becomes the purpose—expressing your infinite creativity however feels most joyful.
This isn’t a boring utopia—it’s ultimate creative freedom where you consciously create experiences for the sheer joy of creation, no longer fooled by your own illusions.
Integration with Think and Grow Rich and Reality Transurfing
Busting Loose represents the culmination of the journey that begins with Hill and continues through Zeland:
Hill teaches the discipline and practices to succeed within consensus reality—essential Phase 1 mastery.
Zeland reveals how to navigate between different versions of reality while avoiding energy drains.
Scheinfeld shows the ultimate truth—you’re creating it all and can choose to stop playing by limiting rules entirely.
Each book serves students at different stages of consciousness evolution. Hill’s principles prepare the mind for expanded thinking. Zeland’s techniques develop energy awareness and reality navigation skills. Scheinfeld’s Process provides the tools for ultimate liberation.
Together, they form a complete curriculum for the COE philosophy—from practical success through conscious navigation to absolute freedom.
Your Busting Loose Journey
If you’re drawn to Scheinfeld’s radical message, you’re ready to question everything you’ve believed about reality. Here’s how to begin:

The Ultimate Choice
Busting Loose from the Money Game presents the ultimate choice in consciousness evolution: continue playing the limitation game with better strategies, or recognize the game itself as your creation and choose freedom. This isn’t for everyone—it requires willingness to question consensus reality at the deepest level.
But for those ready, it offers the ultimate liberation. Not just financial freedom but freedom from the entire framework of limitation. Not just creating a better life but recognizing yourself as the source of life itself.
The COE philosophy includes this radical teaching because authentic reality creation ultimately leads to this recognition. Whether you apply Hill’s principles for success, Zeland’s techniques for navigation, or Scheinfeld’s Process for liberation, you’re working with the same fundamental truth—consciousness creates reality.
Your Invitation to Ultimate Freedom
As you contemplate Scheinfeld’s teachings, remember that intellectual understanding isn’t enough. The Process must be applied, power must be reclaimed, and the recognition of your true nature must be embodied. This is a journey of direct experience, not mere philosophy.
Start where you are. Apply The Process to whatever discomfort arises today. Feel your power returning. Notice how reality shifts as you reclaim what was always yours. Trust the process even when your Phase 1 mind protests.
Most importantly, be patient with yourself. Busting loose is rarely instantaneous—it’s a gradual awakening as you reclaim power from lifelong patterns. But each application of The Process weakens the illusion until one day you realize the prison door was never locked—you were always free.
Whether you’re seeking financial freedom, creative expression, or ultimate truth, Busting Loose from the Money Game provides a direct path. Not through doing more or becoming more, but through recognizing what you’ve always been—infinite consciousness playing the most elaborate game ever created.
The game is ending. Your true life is beginning. Welcome to Phase 2, where miracles aren’t miracles but simply the natural expression of who you really are. The ultimate reality hack isn’t manipulating the system—it’s recognizing you are the system, and choosing to play by your own unlimited rules.
The journey from limitation to liberation awaits. Will you take the red pill and see how deep the rabbit hole goes? Your Expanded Self has been waiting for this moment. The only question is: are you ready to reclaim your power and bust loose into the ultimate freedom that is your birthright?
The choice, as always, is yours. But now you know—it always has been.
