Let's forget everything we think we know

in #life7 years ago

Many of us run disoriented through life. The given paths do not seem to make you happy, so after a while, the question of why arises. And that's exactly what starts the search for more. More than just what we think we know and know.
And just at this stage, we have a great opportunity to say goodbye to many patterns that no longer serve us.

Because we are pure love, even if it may not feel that way on some days and life just seems to be difficult. Everyone has such phases. It is perfectly normal and nobody should condemn it.

Let's unlearn together what needs to be unlearned.

„When we no longer know what to do,
we have come to our real work.
And when we no longer know which way to go,
we have begun our real journey.“
-Wendell Berry

Leave the mental prison

We are born into a life with infinite possibilities. Or rather, we ourselves are infinite.

But over time, we are guided by our education and our experiences in certain ways. We learn how we manage to function in this world. We feel as if we have been pressed into ready-made templates. Although our possibilities are still unlimited, our mind will take on certain patterns over time, making it impossible for us to perceive much.

We learn what is normal and what is not normal, what is safe and what is uncertain. We learn what a normal life has to look like. What we should own, how we should shape our everyday lives. What we should consume. How our education should look like. When children are well educated and when not. When are we crazy and when are we normal? At what age we should be married. How long we have to work. And at what age we should stop working.

Does not that sound completely crazy?

But that is the norm​ for most of us. Even though we live in a time when things are changing and developing fast.

We have to unlearn

Therefore, it would be important to question much of what we have learned and start from scratch again. Much just limits us too much and keeps us small. And if we do not grow, there is a danger that we will become puppets. But that is not our purpose. We are not here to meet the expectations of others. We are not here to be limited. And we are not here to be scared.

There is more to it than just what we have been and are being taught. If we leave behind old patterns of thinking, we will gradually feel what is real and what our mental prison is. We will be less and less able to accept that our reality is limited. We will broaden our consciousness and see that life is not so serious.

Which pill do we choose: the red or the blue one?

In the movie "The Matrix" Neo has to decide if he wants to swallow the red or the blue pill. One brings him back to his old life and everything stays as it was. The other pill shows him how the world really looks and works. There is a lot of truth in this scene.

The question is: which pill would we choose? When we choose the red pill, we realize that we are able to fulfill our dreams. Because we have unlimited possibilities and could lead a life of happiness and love here on this planet. The ability to do so would be present ...

Because it seems to be the same as in "The Matrix". Our thoughts are constantly manipulated by a lot of external input. We see the world as it is sold to us and not as it is. We are not free from influences. Most of us can not think freely and perceive what is there.

So the matrix is ​​the life we ​​live every day. That which we perceive and consider possible. Namely a life in duality.

When we leave the matrix, possibilities open up, far away from what we know and sold through the media. We can live in paradise, but we have to "free" our minds for it.

So, when I've learned something in the last few months, it's that nothing is what it seems to be and everything is trained or even programmed.

Is it possible that we live in a dream world, as in the movie "The Matrix"?

What do you think?

Forget everything we believe we know

It is all up to us to decide which reality we choose. Do we accept outside determination and control? Or do we want to lead a life of abundance and freedom?

There will be setbacks from time to time, but ultimately we will always find our way back to our true nature. If we decide for freedom, then this door will also open for us. Then we can explore who we really are and what opportunities this life holds for us.

It can be magical. We can fulfill all our wishes - if they come from the heart!

But for that, ​we have to forget many things and also dissolve so many connections. If we want a different life, we can not leave everything the same. Otherwise, nothing can change. It is very important that we keep this in mind!

If we wish for something that we do not have at this moment, then we have to give up something old. Maybe it's certain habits, patterns of thinking, friends, our job, our diet or our attitude.

So we have to ask ourselves the question: Do we really want to lead a new life?

If we want to be happy and free, then we have to allow ourselves and give up our mental prison.

Love,
Eve
