The famous French Enlightenment philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau famously said “Man was born free. But everywhere, he is in chains.”

Of course, Rousseau was talking about politics and religious systems when he said this. However, his observation is spot-on regarding how most people choose to live their lives. We are born free, but we choose to walk around in chains. It doesn’t matter that the chains are invisible; their effects are still noticeable.

Let that sink in. People are born free because they have tremendous power over their reality. But when you look at the way most people live their lives, it’s as if they are slaves. They have all these imaginary lines that they have drawn for themselves. Things like who they can and cannot be, what they are and what they're not, where they can go and what's off-limits.

Believe it or not all of us actively shape our reality. Our minds make us the masters of our reality. The fact that you're taking this training with a certain attitude and you were able to buy this training in the first place means you are a master of your reality.

It doesn’t matter whether you accept that or not. It doesn’t matter whether you are aware of this or not. It's still the reality. In fact, just through the daily operations of your mind, you master and edit your reality.

What’s the problem? Well, most of us don't claim this power. We live our lives based on obligation. That's right. We try to be the kind of people our parents expect us to be. We try to live our lives based on other people's expectations.

We also get used to certain customs. Maybe it's part of our culture. Perhaps it's part of our little group. Whatever the case may be, unless we choose to open our eyes, we do things the same way as the people we hang out with. Birds of a feather flock together indeed.

We also turn our backs on our tremendous mental power to shape our reality by sticking close to tradition. Just because something has been done the same way hundreds of years doesn't necessarily mean that you should do the same. Just because there is such a thing as conventional wisdom doesn’t mean that it's the only type of wisdom applicable to you.

Finally, you’re walking around wearing your invisible chains because of bad mental and physical habits. It seems like no matter hard you try to change things or turn things around; your habits keep pulling you back. It's as if you only need to see or feel certain things, and you start acting in an almost automatic way. It is very discouraging. It makes you feel weak, small, and insignificant.

Mentalism teaches you to refocus your energy so that instead of these mental processes working against you, you train your mind to make it work for you. You only need to look at very successful people to see how this works. You only need to talk to very happy people and realize that they’re operating from a totally different place. You can achieve the same.

This training steps you through the process of how mentalism can help you live a more fulfilling life.

I don't want to mix metaphors here but just like people can easily live their lives wearing invisible shackles, we can also live our lives completely surrounded by invisible curtains. When you put curtains in your house, you do it to block out light. It’s your way of regulating natural lighting that comes through your windows. Did you know that you're doing the same with reality? However, instead of windows, you have your mind, and there are certain beliefs and practices that we have that block out reality. At the very least, it prevents us from seeing things as they really are.

Most people are mentally lazy. There, I said it. We really are.

First of all, the older you get, the more you assume things. Now, I can’t blame you for thinking this way because when you were growing up, you had to experience things first hand and then make predictions based on those experiences or based on what people tell you about those experiences. You have to go through that process so you can learn enough to see certain patterns.

As you get older, you can safely rely on the wealth of experience you've had and more or less make certain assumptions. At this point, you would think that it is fairly safe for you to assume that once you see certain patterns, then you pretty much can see the rest of what will happen.

This makes a lot of sense in most situations. You don't want to sit around and wait for things to fully develop when you know full well there's a high chance that things will turn out the way they’ve always turned out. However, this can only go so far.

Also, when you get older, you tend to use this power of assumption in situations where they don’t count or at least they shouldn’t be applied to. You can use this with people you meet, and this can lead to very unfair and even downright cruel dismissal of people.

I remember one time I was at a business meeting and one of the guys who was supposed to make a presentation showed up in shorts and flip-flops. At the back of my mind, I automatically assumed that this person was a slacker. No way is this guy serious.

He made his presentation and he left. I only learned a week later that person was actually a multi-billionaire. So much for my assumptions, right? It turned out that we needed him more than he needed us. He obviously did not need our money.
