Those are good questions. I mean, so first of all, we believe that we're in this reality, right? We believe that everything that we're doing up until now is real, right? And it's based on all of our programming. So we've created and built up this reality, all the programming to it, to create our beliefs that then allow us to see the world in the way that we see it, when we've learned that.

So if we build up programming to see the world in the way that we see it, it is possible that we could have had different programming from different people that would allow us to see the world in a different way and that it would be a different reality. And therefore, it is possible that we have multiple realities.

Everybody's in a separate reality for the way that they see things, feel things, or are affected by things. Right? So, and everybody that feels as though they're trapped in this one predicament, this one space, this one reality, just has to realize that they can break out. Maybe they created it. They can change it. But there are some mind traps that stop people from doing this.

And one particular mind trap is called the negativity bias. And you've seen this negativity bias. We all have. So on social media, you get a thousand really positive comments. And then you have one really negative comment. And which ones do you obsessed about.

Yes, so you start obsessing about the negative comment. And it's our negativity bias that keeps us trapped in saying, oh, this is an issue in this world that I can't overcome. And when we start to become aware of that one, we start to focus on the positive. Everything changes. Another one is our confirmation bias.

So if we can become aware that we have a reticular activating system that is out there confirming all of our beliefs based on these programming. So you just have to say, what results am I creating in my life?

Yeah. A really great confirmation bias around relationships is I'm not good enough. I'm not lovable. All right. And what happens?
Exactly right. You get the breadcrumbs. You go on a date and the guy goes to you again. You go on a date and the guy doesn't want to commit to a relationship. Or the woman is texting all sorts of different men. Or they are inconsistent, hot and cold. And you're like, why can't I just find a great person that really loves me and pays attention to me? But when you do find that, they become boring.
