    Raw Podcast: Programming your Reality

    Have you ever felt stuck, like you're constantly battling against circumstances in your life? Do you feel like despite your best efforts, things just aren't going the way you want them to? If so, you're not alone, and there's a profound reason for this feeling, rooted in the very nature of our existence. What if I told you that our reality is, in fact, a simulation? This isn't a new concept, but understanding its implications is key to unlocking your true potential. The Flaw in How We "Play" Life We often approach life like it's a video game. We try to navigate it, react to challenges, and hope for better outcomes. You cannot change a video game by simply playing it. When you play a game, you're operating within its pre-programmed rules and scenarios. You can't program the game itself from within. This means that if we keep living our lives by just "playing" the simulation, we'll continue to experience the same frustrations, feeling as though "nothing is happening to us that we want". To truly change our lives, our reality, and our simulation, we need to go beyond merely playing; we need to reprogram it. Learning from Neo: The Art of Reprogramming Consider the character Neo from The Matrix. In his "false matrix life," he learned from Morpheus that he didn't have to simply live out the script. He could change it, reprogram it, by training his mind. After getting out of the Matrix and undergoing rigorous mental and physical training, Neo re-entered the simulation. Through trial and error, he learned to alter what the Matrix delivered to him. A prime example is when he stopped bullets mid-air, not by dodging them, but by simply thinking and commanding them to stop. He was, in essence, reprogramming the Matrix. The Mirror Analogy: Where True Change Begins To grasp this concept more deeply, imagine looking in a mirror and seeing a food particle on your lip. What's your immediate reaction? Do you try to pick the food particle off your reflection in the mirror? Of course not! You go directly to your own lip, the actual source, and remove the particle. This simple analogy holds the key to changing your life: * The food particle represents what you want to change in your life. * The reflection in the mirror is your current simulation, your reality. * You don't try to change the reflection; you go to the actual place where the change needs to happen. And that actual place, in the context of our simulation, is our own mind. You Are the Creator: Reprogramming Through Visualisation The profound truth is that "we are God". "We are the creators". By reprogramming ourselves through our minds, we can literally recreate our matrix, our simulation, our reality. The most powerful tool for this reprogramming is visualisation. * True Intention: Visualize with genuine intent. * Present Tense: Crucially, visualize what you want as if you already have it, in the present moment. * Feel the Happiness: Feel happy about already possessing it. Why is this present-tense approach so vital? If you tell the universe, "I want it, and I'll be so happy if I get it," you're inadvertently affirming that you currently do not have it. The universe then amplifies your current state of lack. Instead, your current state needs to be one of already having what you desire. When you genuinely embody that feeling, that belief, it will be amplified and reflected into your reality, into your simulation. By understanding that our reality is a reflection, and by learning to reprogram it through the power of our own minds and visualization, we can truly become the masters of our own destiny.

  4. The Ghosts Of Us

    18/09/2024

    The Ghosts Of Us

    The Ghosts Of Us is a story of Ethan and Aria. Two former lovers who are living and working in the same city, trying to make life work, moving on with the speed of the city, attempting to forget the once-passionate relationship they had, one that faded away, leaving ruins, artifacts and remains with it. The photographs are taunting, the memories are haunting and the old stuff that reminds of the person whom you have lost are like mini-ghosts, entrenched in our minds forever. Maybe that's why people try to forget themselves using alcohol. These ghosts surely need to be drowned. Like gremlins, they constantly annoy and pester, not letting one live in peace even for one single breath. The story is about the quiet moments, the old memories, the things left unsaid, the glances that didn't happen, and the many 'what ifs' that haunt us long after a relationship we thought was forever, ends. The back cover of this book has more clues: In the heart of a bustling city that never sleeps, two souls drift through life haunted by the ghosts of their shared past. Ethan, a talented architect, finds solace in his work, his designs reflecting the turmoil within him. Aria, a gifted journalist, pours her heartache onto the page, her words echoing the bittersweet memories that refuse to fade. Both are trapped in a cycle of regret and longing, unable to escape the specter of their lost love. When fate throws them together at a wedding, the flames of their former passion are rekindled, forcing them to confront the painful truth of their separation. As they navigate the complexities of their feelings, Ethan and Aria must decide if some love stories are destined to remain unfinished or if they have the strength to rewrite their ending. "The Ghosts of Us" is a poignant tale of love, loss, and the enduring power of memory in a city that both unites and divides. Available to buy on Apple Books.
