nothing out there is as real as in here

You know, reality is kind of like this constantly updating software. It’s shifting and morphing based on what version of yourself you got running right now. And the moment you start to see it this way, everything just... changes. You can almost feel the firmware of your own mind, reprogramming itself from the inside out.

Raymond is a multi-disciplinary designer and developer. You'll find him most commonly skateboarding, having a coffee, programming, algorithmic day trading, creating 3D art or working to bring the Reality Designers vision to life.

nothing out there is as real as in here
So the thing about reality is, most people think it's concrete, like some kind of immutable law. But I've definitely realized that life is more like an operating system, an OS that's constantly patching and updating based on whatever psychic tests you're passing or failing. It's not all that mystical, really. I mean, think about it, we often download a bunch of plugins and attachments that we think we need, but most of those just slow you down.
They're like these unnecessary tabs we have open in our minds; they're just draining your RAM. Most people don't see this invisible layer, this input layer of your reality that you're always feeding with attention. And the interesting thing about that is, it's all custom, a bespoke configuration playing out just for you.

When I was younger, I decided to be homeless instead of going to college. Or maybe it was to start a business. Either way, I did both several times. Don't ask me why; it's just the way I decided to configure my realitypost.
And that's the point. It's your life, a game where the hidden variables are only visible once you stop accepting the default settings society's installed. You know, the algorithm is curating you, shaping you into someone you didn't consciously choose to be, just with every news article you read or social media post you absorb.
But here's where it gets weird. You can reprogram this thing at any time. I mean, your beliefs are the OS, right? So what happens when you start to uninstall those old beliefs, those default settings?
That's where practical spirituality comes in. It's about debugging your beliefs, realigning the input layer, so to speak. There's growth you discover, and suddenly, your screen, your awareness, is projecting something completely different.
The hardest part sometimes is auditing yourself. It's core debugging, not with code but with consciousness. Check what's running in the background. Are those apps, experiences you think you need, actually beneficial, or are they just draining your energy?
The level progression in life hinges on this self-audit. You gotta look inside like you’d rummage through old code to find what's slowing everything down. It's about leveling up through the invisible psychic tests life throws at you.
The game of this whole reality structuring thing is that life adjusts to the invisible aspects of yourself that you're developing. You pass a psychic test by holding your ground against it, like learning to control an unruly character in a video game. You master the controls, and suddenly, the game itself changes. Your reality updates, right then, in real-time.

What's really mind-blowing is that attention and perception are the primary tools here. What you focus on becomes real, like, literally. It's why I say your beliefs are the projectors and your awareness the screen. If you can shift that, alter the sliders, you'll see, experience and reality merge into something new.
It's just practical. It's not some woo spiritual thing; it's straightforward engineering of perception.
You've got these psychic notifications in life, signals from whatever "higher level" you believe in. They're like push notifications on your phone. They tell you what might be ahead if you're willing to learn the code behind them. The more you dig into your inner world, the more these notifications start to make sense.
And it's not that they're not there; it's just they're often cluttered by all the unessential plugins we allow in.
And if you're at all like me, you start realizing reality hackers exist. People who've designed their entire lives around an operating system they built themselves. It's not about opting out of reality but creating one that's hand-crafted. It sounds intense 'cause it is.
But the tangible freedom you get? It's like being able to write your script in a page that's otherwise already written for you.

Designing your reality is basically debugging your own operating system. You find the broken beliefs, you patch them, and then everything downstream starts working differently.

The important thing I missed initially was that everything's experimental. There's this balance between the inner and outer worlds where parameters are continuously set by you, dynamically adjusted. You gotta change them to see different results. It's not just about what you do; it's what you choose not to do too.
So much of living is about dedicating your energy wisely. More often than not, letting go is the key to progress.

The whole anti-matrix living approach isn't just a rebellion. It's like removing deprecated code snippets from an otherwise bloated program. Once those are gone, what's left is a streamlined, efficient experience. If you strip away everything societal clichés tell you to install, you'd probably find a smoother-running version of your life.
Spirituality often boils down to practicality. It's nothing more than being aware of your framework and knowing how to tweak it.
I think what most people miss is the game aspect of reality. It’s not just some uncontrolled, chaotic mess. There are parameters, sure, some are hidden, but controls are there. Life is deeply configurable and your awareness is a feedback loop constantly updating based on your responses.
It's kind of like, the more you know how it works, the less you feel like you're stumbling in the dark.
self-audit for progresspost is a necessary part of refining your reality. It's not even the big hacks that lead you somewhere new; sometimes it's the tiny recalibrations. The little choices you make today affect the scripts that run your life tomorrow. You might think time is not on your side, but when you stop wasting it on outdated programs, you find you have more of it than you originally thought.
The thing about designing your own reality is that it's never finished. It's not meant to be. You unplug one thing, install something new, and see what happens. Sometimes it works out, and sometimes it doesn't.
But it allows you to live intentionally, a life that feels programmed, in every sense. And maybe, just maybe, that's where the real magic lies, in asking yourself: What if the game is supposed to be fun?
And there’s always more to wonder about. Like, at what point does the line between programmed reality and self-designed reality blur so much that you can't differentiate one from the other? And maybe that's what turns out to be the real test. Kind of fascinating, right?
