Book Cover & Preview Text
Why are so many people living in the matrix? I believe that most people do not know that they are creating their own reality. In their minds, life is happening to them, rather than for them. We learn this and most of our beliefs as children from the adults in our lives. As children, we are forced to endure long days in a school system that teaches us that we are one of the labels that the system places on us, such as average, above average, advanced, athletic or not athletic, popular or not popular and these labels follow us as we believe them and become exactly what others have decided about us – without ever knowing us. Children are being taught to memorize battle dates, other people’s formulas and knowledge and then they are tested on this non-sense. Then, they are labeled with a test score. Children are forced into sports that they have little to no interest in playing, many times as their parents compete for watercooler stories of “My child’s team won the championship, or my child’s team was cheated.” Many times there are children who are not playing at the same level as the other children on the team and the parents put pressure on their child to compete. They even punish their child for missing a shot, striking out or not being fast enough on the field. Did it ever occur to that parent that their child isn’t interested in that or any sport? A child may dislike a particular sport that we, as parents, force him to play. His lack of interest leads to poor performance. But that child may be a brilliant musician or a creative writer, and he’s being judged, labeled and forced to suffer in order to fit into this competitive society he was raised in. If that child is out of his element, and you judge or label him, it’s like judging a fish on its ability to climb a tree. Try having a swimming contest with him instead. All of this push-pull stress becomes part of a person’s life at a very young age. As Don Miguel Ruiz puts it, “We live in this society, we grew up in this society and we learn to be like everyone else, playing non-sense all the time.”
