Bend Reality: Timeless Tools to shift the Illusion of Reality, Reinvent Yourself and Master Life

By Shivendra Misra

What is reality? Is it "real"? Is it an illusion? If it's an illusion, can we bend our way around it?

These questions are not only in our minds. They've troubled great scientists and philosophers throughout the ages. But the answers to them are not so easy to understand.

You see, our world seems quite real to us. Well, most people think so. But I've seen how this leads to huge problems in life. We believe we can't change it, we believe we're at the behest of faith, or worst, we believe that God is controlling everything. All these thoughts have put us in victim consciousness for too long.

All your problems - lack of money, lack of relationships, lack of success, lack of fame, lack of recognition, lack of this, and lack of that – cease to make any sense once you understand really what we're talking about. Even your successes in life will just be another feather on your hat once you develop a deep inner sense of purpose, peace, joy, and happiness.

You don't need specific steps to achieve your specific goal, instead, you need a better model of living. A systemic upgrade – top to bottom – so that you can start looking at things in a different way, and guess what, you're at the right place.

Mixing the knowledge of ancient eastern sages along with modern scientific evidence, you'll see how you've been blind-sighted your whole life – and this book will do the simple act of removing the blindfold from your eyes. You'll discover:
• Why most people are wrong about Reality
• How to set yourself up for success by identifying your true purpose (it's not what you might think!)
• The tools you need which will help you to cross the jungle of life
• Practical Guides and Activities to help you master the tools to change your reality
• How to develop the habits you need to protect yourself from obstacles
• The power of meditation that most people ignore, and finally
• How to bend reality using a step-by-step approach from everything you've learned!

This is not another book about the Law of Attraction or manifestation. With deep truths waiting for you inside, it also gives you practical ways to start taking action right now. Instead of reading book after book, it will push you to take action.

It details simple, step-by-step procedures that can quickly get you on the right path to master your life. You'll find all the tools and techniques that you can use to achieve whatever you want. Perhaps you may not need any other tool if you master the ones mentioned inside!

Dive in, to learn how to bend reality and achieve your highest potential.

Even your successes in life will just be another feather on your hat once you develop a deep inner sense of purpose, peace, joy, and happiness.

You don’t need specific steps to achieve your specific goal, instead, you need a better model of living. A systemic upgrade – top to bottom – so that you can start looking at things in a different way and this book will help you achieve exactly that.

If you have the right tools by your side, no one can stop you from Reinventing Yourself and Mastering Life!

Acknowledgments

The book cannot have possibly come to life without the knowledge that the Divine Power has given me. You may call it anything you like but most call it God.

I’m also extremely grateful for my spiritual teachers and guides at Ananda Sangha, as well as our Master, Parmahansa Yogananda, and the whole line of gurus (including Jesus Christ, Krishna, Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya, and Swami Sri Yukteswar) who bought the science of meditation and Kriya Yoga which has transformed my life.

I hope you take the knowledge in this book, apply it in your life and have a joyful and successful life. I’d be glad even if one thing in this book helps you in any way.

Final Note

Introduction

As I’ve grown up as a child of the 21st-century education system, I realized a lot of faults in the system. Not to say that there aren’t some good things as well, but I do believe we aren’t being taught what we need to function in this world.

The system itself is outdated and the danger is the lack of awareness about it. When young kids are forced to believe that rote learning and good grades are the way to success in life, we’re harming the potential of our nations as well as our whole planet.

Looking at it from a positive perspective, this presents us with the greatest opportunity in our lives. Because every obstacle can be turned into success. Since 99% of the population around the world does not realize what we’re going to talk about, the few who do would be at a great advantage.

When people enter the field of personal growth, they too start to realize what I did – that whatever they’ve learned in school or from their parents, has been of no use when it comes to making it big in today’s world. The manual has been outdated.

Even the personal growth space is filled with outdated strategies and tools. Goal setting? Desires? Motivation? These things seem far too simplistic for today’s audience to take seriously. There are a need and hunger for a systemic upgrade – top to bottom.

There’s a dire need for people to realize higher realities and truths, the ignorance of which puts a ceiling to their growth.

The aim of this book is to take a small step in that direction - to give you practical guidelines to change the way you look at things; the way you perceive life. The best part is that you can start implementing it in your life from Day 1, that too without disturbing your daily routine.

The book will not give you answers. It will
