PART 1

Welcome to ‘The Matrix’

What exactly is ‘The Matrix’ that I am referring to? Some of you might have come across the word ‘matrix’ in mathematics, in biology or just in a brilliant blockbuster movie you once watched called ‘The Matrix’. To avoid any confusion, in this book my reference to ‘The Matrix’ is the conditioning of your mind or a restrictive program it is currently stuck in. It is the limit of your current thinking. I know this might sound a little weird right now but, as you explore the concepts in this book, it will become super, super clear. All you have to do is keep an open mind and read on.

Arrival And Programing

Just contemplate this for a minute: what if you were a spiritual being who was lucky enough to experience life in a human form, coming from, let’s call it, a ‘Spirit Planet’ to Planet Earth for a little while…and what if some of your ‘buddies’ were less lucky; they came back as a fly, a tree, a rabbit, a corn – only you, as a human, had the ability to be conscious…

Back on your ‘Spirit Planet’ you won the lucky prize to go back into ‘the game’ as a human. In mathematical terms, the chance of your being born to the exact parents and making it through the sperm selection is approximately 14 trillion to one – congratulations, you made it through!

Oh, the joy of new experiences!

So, you rock up in someone’s uterus and grow your limbs and body’s organs until you are ready to face the world. Nine months later you arrive into the world with a slap on your butt. You scream! This warm fuzzy feeling of love and security you had while back on the ‘Spirit Planet’, where everybody is connected, is over – you are out on your own, greeted by some doctor in a mask and other humans who are either happy or unhappy that you have arrived. The game starts.

Within a day you are given a name, a family, a culture, a religion and a whole bunch of new rules you need to learn and follow. You also learn that on this planet everything seems separate. You are you, mother is someone else, father is the one with a beard, here is a dog and a flower, a cat and a tree. You don’t even realize they are all energy spirits thrown into different forms – all on their own – with survival mechanisms built into their game mode…in humans, called the mind.

When you arrive as a brand new baby, at first you trust everything in your midst, assuming that everyone around you is as pleasant, connected and ever-loving as on ‘Spirit Planet’. It takes you a little while to discover that you now have senses connected - you can see, you can smell, you can touch and taste and also hear. Awesome!

You first arrived on Planet Earth with no knowledge – you arrived like a cute little empty container. Happy, smiley and oblivious to the world, the only way you can figure out how to behave is by the reflection of people around you. Are they smiling back at me? Am I safe? Do they love me?

After all, you were all about love and belonging when you first arrived, so you were assuming that you would be taken care of and loved. But soon enough you learned that love is not all there is. Sometimes they would smile, sometimes they would frown. Sometimes they would sing, sometimes they would yell. You were hypersensitive to the sounds, sights and energy around you. By observing the world around you, you learned quickly that love on Planet Earth is conditional.

Love was given as long as you followed the rules – rules that made you fit into your new tribe. You were allowed to do this; you were not allowed to do that. This is how you should act, this is what is polite to say, this is how you behave…you get the picture!

You went through your childhood learning new skills like walking and talking, and being constantly conditioned by those around you. Mostly with great intentions, you were being taught how to become a great human being and become self-sufficient. Your sense of belonging and love never made you question the status quo – the world around you was perfect (even if it wasn’t, you assumed it was) and your job was to learn how to fit in.

Your mind’s job was to collect as much information in this container as quickly as possible so you could survive on your own.

All the information you received you stored in your memory. Your mind’s job was to sort all that information into different files so that you were able to retrieve them easily. With every object or situation you ever came across, your memory would fetch a bunch of supporting documents (presented as thoughts/feelings) and your mind knew straight away what meaning to attach to it.

Let’s say you see ice cream. Your mind fetches information from your memory bank: it’s cold, it’s sweet, grandma gives it to you, she loves it when you giggle, associated with love, associated with smiles, associated with positive feelings, associated with family time – within seconds your mind translates it into ‘yum!’

Let’s say you see a big dog. Your mind finds everything stored on that topic: barking, noise, scary, falling over, bigger than me, story somebody read about a big, bad wolf – translation of the mind: ‘warning, be afraid!’

Your memory will retrieve a bunch of information which will be turned into meaning by your subconscious mind in a split second...so you don’t get eaten up. Or burned by a hot iron. Or drowned…its job is to keep you away from pain and survive. And, if there is no threat, it will guide you towards pleasure.

Since we humans are quite a complicated species, it takes us a little longer to stop relying on our caretakers. It’s the job of our tribe – parents, friends, grandmas, aunties with mustaches – to fill you in on all the information they know so you can become a great human being…just like them!

The subconscious mind acts like a self-learning computer program – except this one is EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY powerful. It learns through ‘belief input’ transmitted by others. In the early stages of life, all you do is take the information in and constantly code and code and code. Everything is being registered by your mind. Not only beliefs were transmitted but also experiences you went through and everything you observed. Every smile, every frown, every positive or negative bit of feedback from others was recorded in your memory. Your mind was diligently coding your personalized map, which would become a blueprint for the rest of your life.

In fact, 80% of your knowledge that is currently stored in your subconscious mind was put there in the first seven years of your life! The rest was picked up from others via different experiences, including from teachers, books, school bullies, social media, bosses and Netflix. Whoopee!

By the way, the stuff you just picked up from others after the age of seven…guess where 80% of that came from? Yep, those people’s aunties with mustaches!

Up to roughly the age of seven your brain works on only theta vibration waves (same as in hypnosis), meaning you have absolutely no ability to reason as to what comes in – you just accept everything as given. The cute little container, collecting information. Writing a program, which will become your blueprint – a recording to be played over and over again for the rest of your life. The dangerous code that will determine the quality of your life until you die…or until you wake up to it – whichever comes first!

So, whatever beliefs your tribe had at the time, they became your beliefs. Life is hard. Money doesn’t grow on trees. I sacrifice myself for you. Other people’s opinion of me is important. Dad is always right. Need to win that medal. Can’t go out looking like that. We are not made of money. I get hurt if I share my true self. Men don’t cry. Parents are always right. There is nothing to cry about. People are out there to get you. Don’t trust strangers. Men are users. Respect the elderly. Be good. Make me proud. Don’t question authority. Either do it properly or don’t do it at all. Kids are to be seen but not heard. Toughen up. Wow! How many of these did you have installed in your mind?

By the way, these beliefs did not have to be statements somebody made. You were very, very observant. Attuned to the energy around you, you picked up on all the nuances. Your brother is mean, your grandma likes you, your grandpa ignores you, your mum has no time for you, your father thinks you are weak – whatever it was for you, you added it to your brilliant collection of beliefs.

Your mind is a constant meaning-making machine. It doesn’t just record your experiences; it also gives them a meaning. All it took was for somebody to play a joke on you to create a meaning and a belief that people cannot be trusted. Another child to laugh at you to experience shame. A parent yelling or ignoring you to feel judged or abandoned. Not being invited to a party to feel like an outcast. A parent being too busy for you to code: unlovable. And the list goes
