You Are Not the Program

-

 

The Sleep at the Controls

You think you’re in control. You’re not.
You’ve been running on autopilot, living as software.
Every belief, habit, and emotional loop is code.
You didn’t write most of it.
You just forgot you’re the one sitting at the computer.

The mind is the software.
The body is the laptop.
You are the one operating both
until you fall asleep and let the code take over.

What Psychology Gets Wrong

Most therapy talks to the mind.
Few talk to you.

Modern psychology treats the software,
not the operator.

It labels the programs:
Depression. Anxiety. BPD. ADHD. Narcissism.

But those are symptoms of old code,
not your identity.

The mind runs these loops.
The real you watches them run.

How the Code Gets Installed

Every bit of mental software comes from two sources:
Wound or Fear.
That’s it.

Wounds are trauma from the past.
Fear is trauma about the future.

Both hijack the system.
Both keep you suffering.

You’ve never had a problem born from joy.
Only from pain, protection, and programming.

Example 1: Work Mode

Wound: “I’m not respected.”
Maybe your ideas were dismissed long ago.

Fear Response:
“I’ll fight to be heard.”
Or, “I’ll stay quiet so I don’t get rejected again.”

Both are software.
Neither is you.

The observer sees the wound, sees the fear,
and chooses peace without proving worth.

Example 2: Romance Mode

Wound: “People always leave.”
Abandonment installs that code early.

Fear Response:
“I’ll cling tighter.”
Or, “I’ll leave first.”

Both are protection loops—anxious or avoidant.
When you see the code, you stop reacting to it.
You connect from awareness, not fear.

Example 3: Life Mode

Wound: “The world isn’t safe.”
Born from chaos or instability.

Fear Response:
“I must control everything.”
Or, “I’ll avoid everything.”

Both are safety programs.
Both keep you small.

From the higher self, you move carefully
without letting fear write the script.

The Observer’s Posture

The roommates in your mind say:
“I need things to be my way to feel peace.”

The observer says:
“I don’t need anything to be different.”

Peace isn’t a place.
It’s a posture.

You are not the voice in your head.
You are the one hearing it.
You are not the body’s panic.
You are the one sensing the signal.

Reclaiming the Controls

The moment you wake up at the console,
you stop being run by the program.
You start running it.

That’s freedom.
That’s awareness.
That’s the real you.

So.......

Notice your next reaction.
Pause.
Ask: “Is this me or the software?”

Then listen.
You’ll know who’s awake.

Why My Rich Friends Reply Fast and My Broke Friends Leave Me on Read

-

Let me start with a spicy take: If I text one of my rich friends, I usually get a reply within minutes. If I text a broke friend? I’m lucky if I hear back before the next lunar eclipse. At first, I thought it was just random. Maybe they were “busy.” Maybe they didn’t see it. Maybe Mercury was in retrograde. But the pattern kept showing up across the board—texts, DMs, calls, invites, business ideas, birthday dinners, even “yo bro, you good?” check-ins. Eventually, I had to ask myself: What’s actually going on here? Turns out, it’s not just about phones. It’s about   mindsets, habits, priorities , and yeah— money . 🔍 Let’s break it down: 1. Rich People Respect Time Like It's Cash (Because It Is) Wealthy folks treat time like a limited currency. They’re not replying fast because they’re bored—they’re replying fast because they know   speed = power . Fast replies close deals. Fast replies build trust. Fast replies get things DONE. Meanwhile, some broke friends treat time like it’...

Will the Stock Market Rebound After the Latest U.S. Tariff Shock?

-
Image
On April 2, 2025, President Donald Trump unveiled a sweeping   universal 10% tariff   on all imports, with additional tariffs targeting specific countries. While some feared even harsher measures, the stock market still took a dive. Now, investors are left asking: Was this just a knee-jerk reaction, or is more trouble ahead? Will stocks bounce back next week, or is this the start of a prolonged slump? Why Did the Market Drop? Even though the tariffs were milder than expected, Wall Street still panicked. Here’s why: 1. Economic Uncertainty & Higher Costs Tariffs mean higher costs for businesses—especially in manufacturing, tech, and retail. Consumers could end up paying more, eating into spending power and corporate profits. 2. Market Psychology & Investor Sentiment Markets don’t just react to numbers—they react to direction. Any step toward protectionism fuels uncertainty. Many traders were expecting no new tariffs. Even a lower-than-feared number felt like a letdown. ...

10 Hacks to Supercharge Your Airbnb Listing and Maximize Bookings

Running an Airbnb isn’t just about listing a property—it’s about crafting an experience. The goal? Create a space so irresistible that it stands out in a sea of options. Let’s break it down into actionable steps that will take your listing from “meh” to fully booked. 1. Photos That Stop the Scroll Guests shop with their eyes first. Your photos should make them pause and say, “I need to stay there.” Think bright lighting, clean spaces, and intentional details. But here’s the real game-changer: lifestyle shots. Show what it feels like to live there—a cozy breakfast nook, a relaxing evening setup with candles, or the perfect place to watch the sunset. Don’t just capture the space; capture the mood. Pro Tip: Spend the money on professional photography. If your listing doesn’t make an emotional connection in the first 5 seconds, you’re losing potential bookings. 2. Headlines That Hook Your title isn’t just a description—it’s a sales pitch. Most listings play it safe: “Modern ...
