Disconnecting from the Matrix

Greetings to a joyful, abundantly creative new year! The new year is a wonderful time to let go of the past that no longer serves you and to reorganize your reality into one that aligns with your greatest good and desires. But most people confuse their true, inspired (in-Spirited) desires for the outer desires of mass consciousness, and once again squander their time and energy in pursuit of meeting outer standards that are often completely opposed to their inner wants and needs. As we start the new year, this episode discusses the only resolution worth keeping, the one decision that will transform your reality to reflect your true inner wishes as the Creator you are. And that choice is your willingness and determination to be you. But as wonderful and simple as this sounds, the option to be yourself is often a very difficult and challenging choice to make from the human perspective. For one, this entails your leaving the familiar behind and going rogue. I discuss the pros and cons of making this decision to be only you, as well as one particularly beautiful side effect that will truly make your efforts worth it for the greatest good of all.

Today’s episode is called “You Are No Body.” It’s a continuation of a very important topic that I’ve been yammering on for the past two episodes, about your true identity as God, as I Am, Spirit, Presence, whatever you want to call it. This topic is so important as I begin this new season, because everything I talk about after this will be coming from this perspective: the perspective of your total truth, your total essence, your total sovereignty.

In the last episode I talked about the most important thing you must acknowledge and know about yourself – that you are God. Today I continue the discussion by talking about the purpose of the Matrix and how it was designed to support our Self-realization, until we got a little lost along the way and ended up changing the rules of the game. Then I’ll introduce how we can start to reset our focus from self to Self in order to begin creating a new reality that supports our natural state of freedom and joy.

“You Are God.” The title says it all – it’s the key to your freedom. It doesn’t get any simpler than that. So elegant in its simplicity that you gloss over it and search for more complicated solutions. If you would contemplate this title and live it at every moment until you fully embody your Presence – your I Am – you would be totally liberated, and the Matrix will spit you out! So, want to get spat out? Tune in.

As a way of jumping back after a long hiatus, we’ll start with a recap of the show’s primary focus – Freedom – to remind you and myself why it’s important to address this, for us, and for the rest of the awakening planet. Then we’ll discuss what happens after you take the proverbial "red pill" – what options you have to choose from, and how one of the choices is the key to your complete release to Freedom.

Are you ready to be Master of your world? Do you truly wish to be the Sovereign of your kingdom, take your rightful seat on the throne, and claim the scepter of your authority? If you’re serious about being a fully awakened, divinely embodied, integrated, and realized human in this lifetime, you’re going to be asked to take on a specific challenge that I’ll discuss today. Will you accept, or will you postpone? It all depends on how badly you want to wake up now! READ FULL TRANSCRIPT at http://disconnectmatrix.com/podcast/17

The Apocalypse is more than the destruction of the world or the cataclysmic event prophesied in religious circles. It’s much more intimate than that. Rather than being an external event, it’s an internal transformation that uncovers and uproots all your untruths so that you can create your own new Heaven and Earth here and now.

“Do You Love Yourself?” This is one of the biggest questions you’ll need to answer if you want to be free. The good news is, you’ll never have to guess because the answers are always right in front you in the form of your reality. This business of not loving yourself is the heart of your miscreations. Your reality is simply a reflection of what’s really going on inside you, and if the world appears unfriendly and unloving, it’s because you’re unfriendly and unloving to yourself. It’s as simple as that. READ FULL TRANSCRIPT at http://disconnectmatrix.com/podcast/15

If you really want to experience more joy and freedom in your life, you’re going to have to change your mind about what you think and believe about it, because how you choose to see your life is how your life will be shown to you.
 So today I'll share with you a few short and simple questions that will help you to first clear out your mind clutter, the thought-trash that’s clogging up the pipes and making it hard for you to connect with your essence. Then we’ll start to set up a new vantage point from which to reconfigure and reorient the way you want to see your life, so that that begins to appear as the new reality for you.

Our ideas of ourselves are heavily fed by stories of what the world thinks we are and ought to be. It’s time to stop believing in the hearsay of what we THINK we are and to actually KNOW who we are. And the first step to living the truth of who you are is to give yourself permission to BE who you are. READ FULL TRANSCRIPT at http://disconnectmatrix.com/podcast/13

This episode takes a step back to discuss the theme of this show, which is about the Matrix and, specifically, about disconnecting from it.There are many layers to the Matrix, but simply put, it's an illusory construct of mass consciousness belief systems. These are group beliefs that come from 'out there': from family, friends, society, culture, religion, education, politics, science, media, and the list goes on.The Matrix is made up of beliefs, and all beliefs are untrue. It's a blueprint of lies that you downloaded into your consciousness to create your world. A world where most of us trudge through amid self-created limitations, fear, dissatisfaction and lack because we've bought into the crap stories, the crap counterfeit software bootlegged from other people’s minds.From a very young age, these mass beliefs program your mind and turn you into a robot. They're like viruses that take over your mind and dictate how to view life and live life.Basically, the Matrix is all the shit that’s not yours.They're the I-am-not's that perpetuate the illusory dream and keep you from knowing what's real. They pollute your mind and hold you back from realizing your birthright to live out your passion and joy as your I Am.The Matrix is like a thick layer of heavy dense clouds that blocks you from seeing and feeling the warmth, clarity and brightness of the ever-present light of your Presence.Here's the thing though...Beyond all the various levels, or Matrices, that appear to be coming from the outside and subjecting you with its programs, agendas and viruses, there's only one Matrix you need to focus on, and that’s the Matrix of your own mind.Upon closer examination, the Matrix is not 'out there'. The Matrix is within – within your mind. And in order to initiate disconnection, the release must come from within. You see, no matter how powerful or hypnotic the beliefs in the Matrix 'out there' appear to be, none of them can have any affect on you unless you choose to make them true and make them real for yourself.Yes, you may have originally taken on suggestions from the outside, but ultimately, there's only one way to bring those ideas to play out in your reality, and that's to make them your own.The fact remains that no matter how things look, you're always the creator of your reality, and a conscious creator must accept full responsibility as having at some point chosen – consciously or unconsciously – everything he or she experiences in life. You're either a creator or you'e a victim. And if you choose creatorship, you need to lay aside all victimhood, including dismantling, or uncreating, all the things that you aren't and that aren't yours. All these I-am-not's are part of the Matrix, and none of it is real. And because what's not real is nothing, the best way to disconnect is to see it for what it is – nothing – and make the conscious choice to simply and gracefully let all the shit go.Episode Permalink: http://disconnectmatrix.com/podcast/12 Podcast RSS iTunes Stitcher YouTube Google Play Music

Anxiety – what is it and what can you do about it?Anxiety is a state of being in constant worry, distress, nervousness, fear, or any negative emotion, often about an unknown future situation.Anxiety is insanity – it's a mental disorder, an imbalance of the mind. The crazy thoughts that populate your mind are like the lunatic inmates who've run amok and have taken over the asylum. This chaos then becomes the experience of your reality.The Matrix of the mind is like a labyrinth in a fun house that keeps you lost, confused, and in terror of what's ahead, what's around the corner. And just when you finally turn the corner to be relieved that there was nothing behind it, you're faced again with yet another corner, another dead end, another unknown threat in the horizon.Anxiety is the constant suspense of not knowing how to get out of this labyrinth, with the underlying fear that something's hiding in the shadows to nip at your ankles and trip you up at any moment.Anxiety comes from mind, and you are not your mind.This preoccupation, this focus on identifying with the reality of your anxiety – your insane mind – is the trap that distracts you from knowing your true nature, your true Self, which is the sanity and clarity of pure knowing Presence.I discuss the mechanism of thought and mind, on how they're nothing more than replays of the past. This in turn recreates more of your past into the present and the future. That's why most people feel as if they're running their lives on a hamster wheel – reliving more of the same-old same-old, day in and day out, year in and year out.So if you want to experience newness and tap into new potentials and possibilities, you must begin to release the stronghold of your mental preoccupations and learn to let go of self-negating thoughts and emotions. In other words, you disconnect from the focus on the past and reconnect to a new focus on the Now.Finally, I share a simple and effective method for releasing anxiety and any strong thoughts, emotions and mental disturbances permanently. You do this by inviting in, then allowing, the thoughts and emotions to run its course within your body and being.You can say that you're literally eating anxiety for breakfast!Episode Permalink: http://disconnectmatrix.com/podcast/11 Podcast RSS iTunes Stitcher YouTube Google Play Music

This episode was inspired by the story of my friend Linda's 9 year-old son, Dylan.It's a story that all of us can relate to about a time when we were young and free to dream to be, do, and have anything we imagined.But as we grew up, our parents and other authority figures, along with the rest of the world – often with loving intentions – quickly eroded the certainty and joy we once had of our limitlessness.Soon we were pegged into a small place of not-good-enough, not-smart-enough, not-whatever-enough to be, do, and have it all.We were told to stop dreaming, to stop following our heart, and eventually to change our tune from the ecstatic knowingness of "Yes I Can!" to the dejection of "No... I can't."Instead of the sovereign's joyful be-do-have formula of creating the life of our choosing in grace and ease, we were mandated the rigid, difficult, arduous and so-often disappointing rule of have-do-be – the Matrix's way of guaranteeing that we stay limited, resigned, and in fear of our own power, strength, and ability as Creators.This episode is about reclaiming our birthright as the unlimited Creators that we intuitively knew to be when we were Dylan's age.It's about restoking the inner fire – the passion of our being – the embers that, although now just a faint soft glow, have nonetheless never been extinguished.Be-do-have is the advanced technology of living in the grace of our true nature.It's living the I Am That I Am – our only true reality. “The road to success and the road to happiness are two lanes of the same highway. All the toll you must pay is simply being true to yourself. ” — Unknown Episode Permalink: http://disconnectmatrix.com/podcast/10 Podcast RSS iTunes Stitcher YouTube Google Play Music

Abracadabra!Did you know that Abracadabra is an ancient word that was originally spoken as a powerful invocation of creative powers?Sources say that Abracadabra is likely an Aramaic or Hebrew word that means: I create what I speak.Abracadabra – I create what I speak.You are a Creator. And as Creator, your words declare. Your words command. And whatever you speak, it becomes so.That's also why prayers end with 'Amen'. It means: So be it. In other words: What I just said, so it is.So the original meaning of Abracadabra is truly a magical spell that acknowledges you as the Magician, the Alchemist, the Master – the one who has the ability to shapeshift reality according to the wishes that you command.Magic, or miracles, should be the norm in our lives. So common and normal to the point that the meaning of the word 'miracle' would lose all its value.But the programming of the Matrix has long ago stripped most people of knowing this magical truth, and instead trained us to dismiss miracles as flukes, luck, coincidence, or even some kind of special blessing from a deity in the sky.The Matrix has fully programmed us to forget, disown, and distrust our own Creator abilities. In other words, we've been brainwashed to give up our freedom and our sovereignty.But just because we've given up our creative ability doesn't mean that it's gone. It's still right here with us – it never left. We've simply forgot that it's there. And it can be reintegrated back into your being with the simple choice of allowing it back.This episode is about remembering and re-igniting the spark of your divine creatorship – your magicianship – into your human life.It's about living deliberately and in conscious choice in each moment by simply being, and then allowing your life to unfold itself for you, through you, and as you.Speak what you are, and it is so. Amen.Episode Permalink: http://disconnectmatrix.com/podcast/9 Podcast RSS iTunes Stitcher YouTube Google Play Music

It's bible study time!I discuss a new, 'Christed' perspective of the Bible verses John 1 : 1-5. The Word Became Flesh1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. The Word here refers to Jesus Christ as the Logos, or the self-revelation of God. You are Christ. You are God. You are the Word. You are the Logos. You are the Messiah. You are the Word that became flesh. You are Divinity embodied as human.In this new Christed perspective, you can now take the above passage literally and come to a fresh and enlightened understanding of your true nature – the I Am – without having to defer to a certain man who's come to be known as the only Christ and savior of men. We are here to help each other recognize the Christ as ourselves and others. When we come to accept and know this, we also realize that there is no need to save anyone or fix anything because all is Christ(ed).All we need to concern ourselves with is to be our own Christ, to be our own savior, to realize the full potential of the Word that we are – the Christ consciousness that is our true beingness. That is: to be the love, the forgiveness, the benevolence, the compassion that we are, and radiating that which we are freely to ourselves and to others.The Word is the essence of what you are. It's your beingness. It's your consciousness.Consciousness creates reality.Therefore, you are the Word that creates worlds.Episode Permalink: http://disconnectmatrix.com/podcast/8 Podcast RSS iTunes Stitcher YouTube Google Play Music

This session discusses the core theme of this show: Freedom.When and how is freedom experienced? What does it take to get free? And is there a price to choosing freedom?You create your own reality. And the first step to your creation is through choice.The universe is here to serve you, the creator, and the only way it can do so in its highest compassion is with your consent. Therefore, everything you experience in your world, without exception, is the fulfillment of your choices.As the sole creator of your reality, there is no one else to blame or credit for your happiness or unhappiness with your life. And the sooner you accept and take full responsibility for your creatorship and your creations, the sooner you can release the Matrix and begin to consciously manifest true freedom in your life.Why? Because you're either a creator or you're a victim. And once you turn away from victimhood and declare your sovereignty, you now have choices to create and uncreate as you wish.The speed in which your creations manifest is directly proportionate to your ability to trust yourself and your own mastery. And whether you allow your creations to be express overnighted to your doorstep, or arrive after many detours and pitstops along the way (and possibly get lost and never show up), it's, as always, dependent on how far you're willing to step out of your own way and let them simply come to you.This freedom, this effortless existence, can be chosen and experienced only in the present moment – the now. I go deeper into the idea of time and timelessness, as well as the linear reality of the Matrix vs the quantum reality of creatorship.I touch on the 'price' of freedom and the seeming loss or sacrifice you might appear to experience as you go through the inevitable changes that you've requested by choosing freedom.Lastly, I invite you to start experiencing a taste of freedom and magical moments with an exercise on trust, which consists of letting go of control and giving up on demands and expectations of specific outcomes. Try it – it's the bomb!Episode Permalink: http://disconnectmatrix.com/podcast/7 Podcast RSS iTunes Stitcher YouTube Google Play Music

With the kickoff of Ash Wednesday last week, the Lent season is now in full swing. It's a time when Christians spend the weeks leading up to Easter Sunday in fasting, penance, and in reflection of the suffering, sacrifice, death, and resurrection of their savior, Jesus Christ.This episode is my rant on Lent from a consciousness perspective without the blindfold of religion.I talk about the distinction between the fictional Jesus of Nazareth of the Bible vs Jesus the actual man, whose real name is Yeshua. And more importantly, how Jesus is not the only Christ and son of God, because you, too, share that same title.I continue my observations about the matrix of religion being a super mass consciousness that, when personally identified with, keeps you imprisoned in fear, smallness, and limitations – the opposite of freedom.Religion – and Lent – focuses on sin. It teaches that you are a sinner who needs a savior to forgive and redeem your wickedness. It separates you from God, tricking you to think that God is outside of you and that you need to grovel and plead your way back to his good graces.The reality is, there is no sin – it's a lie. There never was, never is, and never will be sin. How could there be sin if you are the Christ, God? If you're a sinner, then Christ, God, must also be a sinner. And that can never be.This then means that forgiveness is also an illusion because God – All That Is – is without sin. And that which is without sin cannot know sin, and therefore cannot know or need forgiveness. And that is you also.An awakened person who recognizes your divinity has no need for repentance, no need for salvation. You only job after knowing and accepting this truth is to now be the divinity, the Christ, that you are.I end with a personal Ash Wednesday story that became a reminder for me on every Lent to remember the true focus of my life as an embodied divine being. That is: to be the love, to be the grace, and to be the Christ that I Am. And with the eyes of Christ, to also see the face of Christ in everyone that I meet.Episode Permalink: http://disconnectmatrix.com/podcast/6 Podcast RSS iTunes Stitcher YouTube Google Play Music

After finishing Episode 4 "What Is Love?", I realized that I wasn't done with the subject of love. This is somewhat of a continuation of the previous session, but more of a rant on the state of love – specifically romantic love and marriage – in the Matrix.Although loving relationships are one of the highest states of human experiences that are desired and sought after by the world, most people who sign on for it eventually end up feeling dissatisfied and trapped with all its controls and structures.I talk about herd mentality of marriage and discuss the source of one of the biggest marketing coups created by the diamond industry to program couples into purchasing diamond engagement rings.I also remark on the concept of value, money, and traditions as nothing more than belief systems that have no basis in reality.I compare marriage to religion and their similarities in monopolizing love and spirituality respectively, when in fact they're absolutely unnecessary and often detrimental in experiencing and knowing the truth of one's Self. Finally, I offer some thoughts on how to begin the integration of true self-love that results in the enjoyment of truly genuine, loving, and lasting relationships with others – the kind that mutually and actively supports each other's Freedom.Episode Permalink: http://disconnectmatrix.com/podcast/5 Podcast RSS iTunes Stitcher YouTube Google Play Music

This Valentine's Day episode talks about love. What exactly is love? And do we even know what we mean when we talk about love?I discuss the limited, conventional meaning of love as commonly understood in the Matrix versus the transcendent, ultimate meaning of Love – the Love of pure consciousness with zero conditions.Because Love is your truth, your release to freedom begins when you start to embody the Love that you are, to be the Love that you are. And because Love is already what you are, all it takes is an undoing of all the layers of unloving thoughts and beliefs you've imposed upon yourself until you reach the core of Self, of Love.You are the Love that you've been waiting for. Love your Self.Happy Valentine's Day! “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” — Rumi Episode Permalink: http://disconnectmatrix.com/podcast/4 Podcast RSS iTunes Stitcher YouTube Google Play Music

The weather. It's always around. And there's no denying that it has a big influence on our daily lives.Most people have strong habituated judgments about the weather without even being aware of it. They get swept into believing that it's somehow responsible for their state of mind, when in fact what they're experiencing is a projection of their own emotions, the 'weather' in their own minds.Like any phenomenon, the weather in itself is completely neutral, blameless and innocent. By learning to release our programmed beliefs about the weather and seeing it for what it really is – neutral – we begin to build a firm foundation in developing the ability for true vision, which is to see all things as they are, not as they are perceived.In this episode, I discuss how the weather 'out there' can be your good friend in helping you to remember your truth 'in here.' Always available for us to examine on a daily basis, the weather is one of the best practice subjects to help us understand how we create our own reality.I also touch on the nature of emotions and the importance of awareness as your first step to freedom. Concepts such as 'creator vs victim', and 'response vs reaction' are also discussed as polarizing agents that either support or obstruct your shift into freedom.Episode Permalink: http://disconnectmatrix.com/podcast/3 Podcast RSS iTunes Stitcher YouTube Google Play Music

As we near the end of January, how are your New Year's resolutions holding up? The excitement of "New Year, New You!" starts to deflate quickly for most people around this time.This episode discusses why New Year’s resolutions often fail, the ego’s role in it, and the option to choose instead true fulfillment and self-evolution that arise from pure compassion.I share my perspective on how popularly-accepted beliefs in why resolutions fail – such as having unrealistic expectations, not being specific enough, lacking willpower – all only strengthen and perpetuate the Matrix.I touch on the benefits of the conscious breath and its direct influence on balancing your life and creating your reality.I also define and clarify the often-misunderstood meaning of compassion.Episode Permalink: http://disconnectmatrix.com/podcast/2 Podcast RSS iTunes Stitcher YouTube Google Play Music
