You are the algorithm.
Your brain is constantly filtering reality. It can’t process everything at once, so it prioritizes information and experiences that confirm your biases and belief systems.
When you focus on something repeatedly, your mind will play it on a loop, and you’ll experience more of it.
If you emotionally react, the belief reinforces itself.
If you assign meaning to something, your brain perceives it as important and relevant to your identity.
Confirmation bias is the opposite of intuition. It’s nearly impossible to strengthen your intuition and practice discernment when you’re not questioning your own reality. You have to be willing to question your beliefs, explore beyond your comfort zone, and reject predictability to hack your own internal algorithm.
Because, as I’m sure you know, modern technology understands how the mind works.
The media knows how to manipulate your emotions and stimulate your dopamine reward system. Your mind becomes addicted to urgency and unpredictablity, and this can activate survival patterns that alter your perception of reality.
The social media algorithms observe, with precise detail, what your eyes focus on, what captures your attention (even if it’s not conscious), and how your own feedback system works. It will feed you more of what your mind secretly craves, narrowing your focus and stirring dormant shadow emotions.
You think this is all normal and okay, because it’s getting confirmed day after day, reel after reel — meanwhile, it’s creating more isolation and controlling your mind like a drug.
And don’t get me started on AI and GPT… that’s a whole separate topic when it comes to our creative energy.
To expand the mind, we have to expand our beliefs, welcome in new ideas, and constantly question how we perceive reality.
Resist the trap of thinking this is everyone else or another side… because it’s all of us.
Is it possible that the exact opposite of what I believe is true? If the answer is even 1% yes, then there’s more to explore.
Is it possible that these emotions aren’t even mine but created for me or to control me? If the answer is even 1% yes, then you’re ready to hack the algorithm.
Being wrong won’t kill you. In fact, it can be fun. If you’re wrong, then you’re learning something new. If you’re wrong, then you can shatter your own reality and expand your mind.
Your mind creates your reality. Would you rather be “right”? Or would you rather be blissfully free?
