I clearly remember the Sunday, years ago, that I decided to quit energy work and rebuild my real estate business. I was burning cash, and friends kept hinting I was wrecking my life by messing with “energy.”
That very day I felt so downhearted that I turned on the TV (I rarely did). The Matrix was just starting. Watching it changed everything. Soon after, I left real estate and committed to energy work full time.
Why? That moment when Neo realizes he’s been living inside a program rang true. My work was—still is—one way to reveal non-beneficial programs and clear the stress (aka suffering) they create.
What’s “the program”?
Our thoughts.
Layer upon layer of thought patterns accumulate through life. They wire the brain into familiar loops—often scarcity, worry, or self-doubt. The good news: brains are plastic. With intention, those loops can change.
Tech—biofeedback, scanners—can help identify patterns and measure progress. But there’s something even more powerful:
Prayer.
Modern brain imaging (fMRI, EEG, SPECT) shows signs of neuroplastic change with prayer. In plain English: intentional prayer helps rewrite neurological patterns.
Bottom line: what the ancients intuited, technology is beginning to validate.
Meanwhile, behind the scenes (for daily group work)
We continue to run the Issue Solver on key stress-regulation circuits—amygdala, hypothalamus/hormonal circuits, prefrontal cortex and its circuits, anterior cingulate, and midbrain—to support calmer reactivity, clearer focus, and steadier mood.
A 48-hour prayer experiment—if you feel led
For the next two days, repeat AWAKEN for 10 minutes. If sitting without your phone or computer feels too hard (we’re all gadget-programmed to some extent), take a slow 10-minute walk repeating the word, or use mala beads—one bead, one AWAKEN, 108 times..
If this lands, share it with someone who could use a gentle red pill today.
