why your reality needs a debug mode

I've definitely realized that the thing about this whole "designing your reality" gig is essentially like debugging your own personal operating system. Look, it's not complicated. It just takes knowing that your awareness is the screen, and your beliefs are these little slides projecting onto it, shaping everything. We're all running around on this OS that we didn't choose, right?

That was pre-installed with plugins we never agreed to, and so much of the game is just figuring out what to uninstall.

And the interesting thing about that is our attention becomes the input layer. It's crucial. What you focus on becomes the parameter setting for your entire system. It shifts your energy, your state of being.

So, if you're always focusing on fear, guess what? You start becoming a fear magnet. It’s like you're installing that fear plugin you didn't even know you needed. When I was younger, instead of going to college, I thought I’d rather be homeless or start a business, which to me was kind of the same thing, total freedom to configure your life's parameters without someone else’s presets.

You know what I mean?

I mean, the algorithm is curating your reality, transforming you into the person you don't wanna be. You get notifications from life, psychic notifications, if you will, telling you what's coming. Most people, they ignore this. Or maybe they think it's woo-woo.

But these signals are real. They're like those little error alerts on your computer that you've been hitting ignore on for too long. Time to start reading them.

And all this ties back to perception. Perception filters are those hidden variables in the game of life. They shape everything you see, but the beauty is, you can consciously design or redesign them. It's like when you upgrade a software.

You fix bugs, enhance performance, and sometimes you install new features. How often do you consider upgrading your own "mental software"? Many don’t even realize they can.

I think what most people miss is that this reality is kind of like a game. You know, life is a game, and it is adjusting to the invisible aspects of yourself that you are developing. The tests you pass, they level you up. But no one tells you this stuff, right?

And we all keep living these default configurations.

Take coding, for example. Learning to code is like getting a manual on how the universe works. I remember the first time I wrote a program, seeing how commands and parameters changed everything. It's the same with life.

Coding taught me that life isn't this chaotic mess, but a sequence of variables you can tweak. " You patch them, and suddenly, everything downstream starts working differently. That's the magic.

And it's really about not doing all the stuff people say you should do. Memory is a funny thing. Your mind will replay the scenes of your failures, but it doesn't have to. That's a bug, not a feature.

Start by looking at the things you're not doing, not falling for that default configuration society hands you. Just opt out.

You know, your reality is continuously updating itself automatically and dynamically adjusting to what you're currently doing and the psychic tests you're passing. These configurations, they're yours to change. They're not locked behind some paywall of life.

Another thought that hits me is the idea of self-audit. It's like when you go through your files and realize you’ve got old programs slowing everything down. You don't need everything in your life cluttering your mental bandwidth. It's time to uninstall those outdated programs.

Psychic clutter is real, too. Clear it out. It’s freeing up mental RAM, letting you focus on things that actually matter.

Seeing life as a game, adjustments, inputs, outputs, it's just like running a simulation. There's no cheat code except maybe learning how to adjust your own settings. And then you're suddenly playing on a whole different level. You stop just reacting to the screen and start controlling what's projected on it.

Relatedly, when I started businesses after those episodes of being homeless, I learned first-hand about the hidden perception filters. They change what seems possible. It's a bit like wearing glasses with the wrong prescription your whole life, you didn't even know you needed an update. But once you change lenses, everything sharpens.

So, I don't know, man. It feels like we're all just avatars in this game, debugging our own characters. Each day, each interaction acts as a line of code we write or rewrite. The thing is, no one else can do it for you.

You gotta run your own tests, see what works, what doesn’t.

Maybe what it comes down to is practice. Just like anything with coding, or living, it’s all trial and error. You program, you run the code, something crashes, you go back and fix it. It’s iterative.

And the funny thing is, you’re the only one who has access to the root directory of your life. No one else.

One final thought before I trail off into another idea: it's about figuring out where you're putting your attention. You know, the stuff that just takes your focus away from what you could be building. Nothing out there requires your attention, unless you've chosen for it to be part of your reality.

And that's kind of it, for now. I'm starting to wonder more about those invisible connections, how we could be missing entire chunks of the game just because we're using the wrong sensors. Maybe there's more to be downloaded and configured.
