- Cut the string.
Cut the string.
Free yourself from fear, anxiety or worry.
Cut the string.
Today I want to introduce the second model that will change my life.
Hopefully yours too, but I haven’t used it long enough to make this claim.
If you missed the first model that changed my life, you can read about it here.
But today we will talk about oppression.
Anything that brings you down.
The common guests at the oppression party are:
• Fear
• Anxiety
• Worry
• Doubt
• Indecision
• Regret
• Guilt
• Shame
• Hate
• Anger
Whenever you experience any of these emotions, you usually:
• Lose control for yourself and your reality
• React instead of respond
• Stop thinking clearly
Your ability to act effectively decreases.
It’s like you are put in a trance.
This is easy to prove.
Just think back to a time when you were shameful as fuck.
It probably made you feel weak - like you were unable to act.
This is exactly what all of these things do to varying degrees.
Fear and anxiety are the most powerful.
But guilt, doubt and indecision are just as harmful.
Harmful in the sense that you lose control over yourself.
So what’s the solution?
Because I’m getting bored of talking about these negatives things.
So let’s get positive.
There is a way out of these emotions.
By understanding what causes them.
Because emotions are produced by your subconscious.
Or as I like to refer to it, as your heart.
Your heart must be handled diligently.
You can’t just start fighting your emotions, I’m sure you’ve tried and it usually has the opposite effect:
It makes things worse.
So what can you do?
Realise the root cause.
By realising WHY your heart (or your subconscious) resists, you can eliminate it.
Then the heart stops resisting, and you stop feeling the emotion.
So WHAT IS THE ROOT CAUSE?
A string.
That’s the root cause.
You, your heart, or your subconscious feels as if YOU ARE PULLED BY A STRING.
Like you are part of a puppet show, and YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO DO ANYTHING.
You feel like reality HAPPENS TO YOU.
Like you have NO CONTROL.
Like you are AT THE MERCY OF LUCK.
This is what makes you feel oppressed.
Because as soon as you realize you are free, then it disappears.
Not just realizing as in “oh i’m free”
But ACTUALLY understanding that you are IN FULL CONTROL OF YOURSELF AND YOUR REALITY.
As soon as you realize, the oppression disappears.
Once again, you have to realize, not just remember.
Then you can choose how you want to act and what reality you want to see.
You free yourself and YOU’VE CUT THE STRING.
I once read that the subconscious strives for one thing which is control of reality.
That is like the driving force behind the subconscious.
I haven’t looked into this enough to confirm.
However from my own experience - the string model works.
It FREES you from oppression.
It allows you to TAKE BACK CONTROL.
It's truly amazing.
If you’ve never heard of this, it might sound strange.
Because it's so simple - yet so effective.
Try it out.
Maybe even right now
Is there anything you feel oppressed by?
Fearful about, doubtful, regretful, guilty, shameful?
I can guarantee there is, because there almost always is.
Now, CLEARLY DEFINE what you feel oppressed by.
A dentist appointment? A business meeting? A business model? A girl? Mario?
Then, realize YOU ARE FREE.
This experience or person DOES NOT CONTROL YOU.
YOU CAN DECIDE YOUR REALITY.
This should relieve some emotion for you.
If it does not, you either don’t believe this works or you don’t believe you’re free.
But that’s fine - you can fake it.
Fake that you’re free.
Fake that you believe this works.
Then, if you make serious effort in faking it, it will work.
You will see.
Thanks for reading.
See you in the next one
