One thing I keep noticing across psychology, spirituality, philosophy, and even science is this: What we experience as “true” is inseparable from what we believe — both consciously and unconsciously. And the most deeply held belief of all is rarely questioned: “I don’t get to choose what I believe.” That assumption feels like a fact, but it’s still a belief. And because it sits so deep, it quietly shapes perception, interpretation, behavior, and outcome without ever being examined. This helps explain something interesting historically: very different systems have produced real results for the people who believed in them. Religion, meditation, therapy models, rituals, mindset frameworks — they didn’t work because they were universally or ultimately true. They worked because belief reorganized attention, meaning, and action in a coherent way. Reality responded to coherence more than correctness. What shapes experience most powerfully isn’t the beliefs we openly identify with — it’s the assumptions running underneath: - what we think is possible - what we think is fixed - what we think must be earned - what we think is out of reach Those beliefs often go unnoticed precisely because they feel “obvious.” For me, the real work isn’t adopting a better framework. It’s becoming aware of the one already operating. Because the moment a belief becomes visible, it becomes optional — not necessarily false, but no longer unconscious. That shift alone can change how reality is experienced.

If this feels too “far-fetched” for you, don’t worry. There are plenty of scientific and down-to-earth posts here too 😂. But I want to share a water practice I’ve been exploring that’s been really meaningful for me. Water is everywhere. Our bodies, the earth, even the way life begins. They say water holds memory too, which is incredible. The ritual itself is simple, but it works best when done with full faith, focus, and emotion. If you add a genuine tear of gratitude, even better, but that’s optional 😂. You start by pouring water into a glass while thinking about the parts of yourself you want to grow and where you are right now. Avoid negative self-talk here. Then speak your affirmations over the water. Something personal like “I’m so lucky everything works out for me” or “Knowledge flows freely to me.” Next, pour the water into a new cup while speaking who you will be or what will be true for you, as if it’s already happened. Finally, drink it all in one go while holding that focus. On the surface, it might feel silly. But the point isn’t necessarily to change your material life or attract money and success. It’s about directing attention, setting intention, and connecting with the symbolic energy of water, which holds and reflects what we give it. If nothing else, it’s a practice of being present and specific with yourself, a moment set aside for just you and your body. I’ve found that doing it with full presence subtly shifts how I feel, how I notice patterns, and how I engage with my own mind. Speaking your intentions as if they’re already true feels like a way to step into the energy of who you want to be, not just wish for it. If you feel so inclined, try it out and let me know how it goes in a few weeks ☺️

It’s all just you

If infinity contains everything, what exactly is left to unite with?

It all boils down to LOVE. What suddenly rings a bell is altruism, "good intentions" and everything else we tend to convince ourselves that we do them, inspired by LOVE. It then begs the question, what's love in the context of the reason why we're all here? For instance, if I stumble upon something valuable, on a publicly crowd sourced content hub like YouTube, is it best to share the link to the video that leads to access of the entire platform, without bearing in mind what other contents on YouTube will do to them.? (Should we therefore create a platform whereby only what's shared is what's consumed) That wouldn't make any sense, unless added to YouTube as a feature,but then that wouldn't be in their best interest either. Secondly, if for instance something fundamental speaks to me from one religious context in form of text, and I find it valuable to me in some aspect of my life's belief system, is it really in the best interest of the party I wish to share the content with, that I should wrap the message using the entirety of that religion without bearing in mind what their initial, spontaneous or latter notion of the religion in question will have on the message I wish to pass and its corresponding impact on them? Is it then my responsibility to assess whether they're ready to perceive it as intended, is this intention then selfishness that is masked in love from my end?, culminating to hypocrisy, control and so on and so forth. How far should we go in the quest to justify a "why" that we also barely are yet to discern? Should we then just set up systems and resources and let people have access to whatever content they can lay their hands on without initiating any "algorithmic dominos" Therefore, taking any actions that have an impact on others, regardless of the inherent intentions,in my opinion, still plays to the tune of the so called "matrix" or at least what we describe or believe it to be. Or is it that they are on to another thing, perhaps AI, which is now akin to "investment that makes you money while you sleep", and now unmasking it as "the matrix" has no impact on the cause. The fact that it is out of the bag should beg the question, why does the matrix want us to know that it exists suddenly?
