Life is amazing. I want to elaborate on this metaphor that's very helpful for orienting people in this work. So if you're new to personal development and to

self actualization then this is for you. And that's the metaphor of the

rat in the maze. And this is sort of going to put everything together in a big picture for you with what we're doing with actualized.org.

And of course what that means is what you're doing in life.

You start life like a rat dropped into a maze.

Think about that. Don't just skip over it, but really think about what that means.

To be a rat dropped in a maze, you start life with zero understanding.

That means you have no idea who you are in this life. No idea what reality is, what this maze is, why it's here. No idea what

anything means. no idea the value of anything

no idea what's right or what's wrong no idea what to fear or what to desire

No idea what traps and dangers exist

No idea how your body works

No idea how your mind works No idea how your mind works. No idea how your emotions work or what they mean.

No idea how society works. No idea who to trust. No idea what death is. no idea what death is no idea what to do

No idea how to distinguish the truth from falsehood

No idea who the good guys are or who the bad guys are no idea what's possible or what's

impossible and you don't even have the idea that you are inside of a maze yet. That's where you begin life. Think

about that.

That's a sobering fact right there. And that is your situation.

You've been scrambling through this maze for your entire life from the very beginning up to where you are right now.

And this whole time you've basically just been flying by the seat of your pants.

You've been winging it.
