Escaping the The Matrix of the Mind

What is the Matrix? When you first think of the matrix many things come to mind. There’s the societal definition in which reality is formed based on our education, economy, business, science, and government interconnecting in our daily lives, forming the social matrix. Another idea is the idea of a group of elites that control the masses with power and control through the positions that they hold whether through politics, business, voting, or business lobbyist having their representative bribe officials to pass policies to their self-interests while sacrificing the general populations’ interests.

In this newsletter, I will focus on how society educates you enough to be a nonconscious “productive member of society” and to fit as a cog in a wheel. Society does not teach you to be self-aware and to forge your own pathway in life but rather guides people to go through an education indoctrination system in which individuals become highly specialized and only become experts at the particular craft that they choose to master.

Society does not teach you how to question their teachings and indoctrination but rather on retaining and regurgitating ideas in the form of tests and ranking students based on how well they perform on limited metrics. It is beneficial for people to zoom out and develop a system’s way of thinking and how each singular part has an interconnecting relationship. Significantly changing a single part of the mechanism could have drastic effects on another part but it would go unnoticed if people weren’t conscious of the relationship as a whole.

Most people in modern society are trained to become wage slaves. Some people are satisfied working 8 hours a day 5 days a week coming home and only enjoying their weekends. Perfectly fine with pursuing superficial things such as watching Netflix, scrolling through social media filling their brain with mindless entertainment, drinking alcohol to escape reality, and going out and partying with friends.

People rarely think of taking the less taken path and creating their own path in life and escaping wage slavery. One pathway is to become an entrepreneur and develop their own businesses where they can work as long or short as they want.

Then there are other people who are trapped in wage slave jobs and hate their current lives but don’t have the map or clarity of escaping. They stay stuck in the job for years because they rely on that job for security and for their survival. Many financial obligations as well as their families’ lives rely on that person having that job.

Society gave you a story and narrative explaining where you came from. It’s not clear how you got here, why you are here, and ultimately where you are going in the end.

To truly escape from the matrix is to cultivate your mind. Your mind generates all the results in your life. At first, you should first focus on your lower goals which include taking care of yourself, physically, financially, and emotionally. This involves overcoming emotional attachments, overcoming fears, pursuing goals, and learning how to overcome suffering: which includes depression, anxiety, wage slavery, additions, lack of passion, lack of results, sexual frustration, and health problems.

One of the best ways to take control of your life and to start the path of self-mastery is by making yourself into a self-help project which will take a lifetime. By working on yourself you give your life its own zest.

Concepts and insights can act as a guide to your life and to determine whether or not it is valid it is for you to personally test whether or not it is true for you. Think of me as a form of a medium or a flawed vehicle delivering concepts and insights that can potentially make profound changes in your life - you must validate what I say to see if it rings true for you.

You must reflect on the ideas and philosophies you were indoctrinated with by society and test them out for yourself to see if it’s true.

Before we became self-aware of our concept of self, our minds are filled with beliefs, programs, and world views before we were able to fully understand ourselves or how our minds worked.

One of the things you can do to grow and get better results in your life is to question everything: from religion, science, culture, entertainment, nutrition any information that you feed your mind.

Try to figure out the highly partially limited interpretations of reality from the programs in your mind, that are running on autopilot, and test whether or not your beliefs have a solid foundation or did they arise from blind faith.

Most people don’t take the time to truly assess their mind and reality because it’s pretty complicated, more traps can be fallen into and takes more time and energy and failures are inevitable, especially if you are exceeding your comfort zone.

All your current thoughts, and perspectives, locks down your mind forming limited beliefs. It shackles your mind preventing you from grasping illusory freedom.

Imagine the phone which you currently have in your possession. Phones have anti-breaking software. Your mind has a similar feature under the guise of self-deception which is an automatic defense or an anti-breaking program that prevents you from jailbreaking your mind. Your mind deceives you because it is the object that constructs your reality.

Society, as well as your mind, wants you to trudge the safe - well-trodden path in which dangers were eliminated. Example includes going to school then to college and finally to get a job. This is a path that was tested by millions of people which is traditionally the safe path. It does not want you to venture into the unknown, for example becoming an entrepreneur in the digital space, because the path lacks clarity and there is no direct path to success for this path but more dangers and a higher percentage of failures. Your mind equates failures to death in this scenario.

Your mind is afraid of change. it wants the fruits and benefits of change without changing itself. The mind will deceive itself and trick itself to believe that making a change for yourself is a terrible decision. It will rationalize why to keep the status quo and not go beyond your comfort zone. Your mind equates change to the death of self.

It is impossible to understand your reality with partial perspectives until a holistic perspective is developed.

An analogy that you can be useful to internalize is to treat your mind as an Executive of a company. It is responsible for integrating all the other departments within the corporation: Vice Presidents, Marketing Executives, Engineering, Research, and development to do the proper work in their specialized departments for the good of the whole. The Executive’s job is to prevent miscommunications between the Departments and undergoing projects that do not bring detriment to another department.

The most important part is to enjoy the process. Go through the journey of discovery, and keep on with the grind. This will keep your peace of mind in the long term regardless of the inevitable frustrations and suffering that come about.

This will help you pursue the understanding of reality that will eventually transform you.

“Know thyself” Knowing yourself is equivalent to knowing the world.

Imagine if your mind became unlimited.

Mistakes and self-deception is inescapable make more mistakes and fail faster. Take responsibility and change for the better. Some mistakes would be repeated many times before break throughs are achieved.

If you try to break through the matrix then what can be obtained is a superhuman level of consciousness, purpose of life beyond science and religion.

Discover love, passion, and fulfillment never thought possible - escape fear of death. This requires years of work before you are able to discover the truths.

My goal is to build a bride of the highest level of conscious and to get other people here by building lower bridges and ladders to get there.

Radical results is equal to radically openminded. This commitment is life beyond survival needs.
