Those who have watched the matrix movie can clearly understand what a matrix means. But the matrix I am talking about here is not even close to the one shown in the movie. I don’t mean we are being controlled and programmed by computers. We are not in the computer-simulated matrix but in the mental matrix created by our own minds.

Yes, our mind has created a matrix through which we perceive the world.

The subconscious beliefs imprinted in our minds from a very young age, the beliefs we hold, the environment we grew up in, the contents we have consumed every single thing has built a web of the matrix through which we perceive each other.

Do you know nobody knows you the way you think you are? Everybody has their own perception of you. The more the minds there are to comprehend you the more versions of you exist. This is because everybody's mental matrix is constructed differently.

The matrix controls every aspect of our life because it becomes the lens through which we see the world.

If you wear a shade with a blue color glass it is obvious for you to see the world in blue and after some time you would think it's the natural color. This is the same with our matrix. What we have believed from a young age creates an image that we perceive to be real.

The majority of people think it's normal to work in a job they hate all life, earn some living, get a vacation sometimes, start a family, retire after some time and then die. We think this is what an ideal life looks like because that is what we have been taught, that is what we see other people doing and it's already imprinted in us as an ideal life. We rarely stop and think if this is what we actually must be doing.

You see the life we have is a precious gift and we are not supposed to live it as society expects us to. The universe wants us to do so much more than we think what's ideal in this society.

This all comes down to the matrix. We are being controlled by the subconscious beliefs imprinted on us, we are being controlled by the limiting beliefs we set in ourselves, we are being controlled by the mental programming the society, the environment and we ourselves did to us.

Why do you think so many people are unhappy and living a life full of stress and misery? well, that’s because the matrix is in control. As long as the matrix is in control, as long as we live inside the matrix we cannot find our true self, we cannot create the life we really deserve, and we cannot walk the path the universe wants us to.
The matrix is where average people who do not believe in themselves live and that’s where they do not amount to anything great. That’s a general belief, as in to believe in the lie.

The majority of people don’t even realize that they are in control of this mental matrix and continue to live the way they are without creating something of value, rising up the mediocre line, finding purpose in their life, and putting time into their passion.

Our beliefs are what create our reality and if we continue to believe in what we have learned and what we think is ideal the same will keep on manifesting.

If we are able to recognize the matrix and reprogram our belief system then we are capable of finding our true self, creating the life we want to live, finding purpose in life, and freeing ourselves from the problems in our daily life.

Freeing oneself from the noise and chaos in our lives by truly following our hearts is the greatest path we can take.

How to start breaking the matrix?

  1. Relearn everything you have learned and re-program your mind with bigger sets of beliefs.
  2. Forget what society wants you to do, forget what everybody else is doing, listen to your heart and listen very well.
  3. Develop mindfulness, and aim to be present at the moment 100% of the time. Meditation helps you develop mindfulness.
  4. Become the observer rather than a reactor. Observe your thoughts, your emotions, your body, your likes and dislikes, and observe yourself.
  5. Connect with nature. We ourselves are nature and connecting with it will take you back to the roots.
  6. Read eye-opening books.
  7. Beware of what you consume and who you hang around with. Energy transfer is real.
  8. Connect with your inner selves.

Let’s break the matrix and create the awesome life we all want to live. Let’s get high on spirituality spread love, create value, experience the moment, and experience joy.

Let’s all believe in the good, achieve greater things, connect with the universe, set our minds free, and live a freaking awesome life as long as we are on this planet.

This all is possible when we are able to recognize the matrix and make an effort to break out of it.
