Being in the Matrix: Who told you that your personality exist ?

“First you have to realize you are in a jail, before you can get out it.” (Ram Dass)

The vast majority of us live in a false reality. A mass consciousness is the combination of the thought patterns of people living in a particular area. Most people do take their ideas, beliefs and inspirations from the mass consciousness. However, the ideas in the mass consciousness are unproductive, limiting and anchored in a false reality.
Why the mass consciousness is anchored in a false reality ?

Everything in this particles universe is made of particles. Therefore, you can’t say that cause X is creating effect Y. Saying that imply that aside of particles there is something else which is not the case. Creation is made through the act of observation. All your perception are your creation. Two people perceive the same event completely differently. Mass consciousness is observing distortions and due to its rigidity it takes a considerable amount of time for change, that why they say. The world never changes only you can change.

- I need to act like a whore to seduce guys
- I need to be a dominant alpha male to seduce women
- If the economy sinks I will sink with it
- I need to be rich to be happy

And so on and so on…
Where these ideas come from ? Those are ideas that many people believe to be true.
Let talk a minute about personality, your personality is composed of stream of consciousness that a certain point in your life you observed. They can be a collection of emotions, memories and feelings. They are stored in your brain so you can keep observing them in the present, who you are ? An individual observing his past that he calls his personality and behaving based on it.
Personality is exclusively composed of past material that no longer exist, add to that all the beliefs learned from television and other people. You have a being entrapped into a predictable false reality.
Predictable ? Because, the creation is based on past material once the past material is known then that person is extremely predictable.
False reality ? Because, that person is not living in the now. His reality can only be false , made of the ghosts of the past.

I know the past feels so safe, but, there is little growth in safety.

If you could experience just one day in the pure present with no attachment to that travel bag you call your personality, you could function without the compass of a belief system, as experiences arise you live through them , they can be perceive as “good” as “bad”, they will provide you great learning.
All experiences are valid and valuable and compose the YOU that you really are. However, there is no point to turn back and try to recreate over and over the same experience this is stagnation, this is what almost everyone is doing, recycling past garbage. Just like Hollywood they keep recycling old ideas hardly they can come up with a new concept.
You want something new; focus on want you DO want and not what you see in your television.
