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 o-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. This training steps you through the process of how mentalism can help you live a more fulfilling life.
Face Off & See The Real You
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.
Intentional Lives We Live
You may be thinking that the title of this chapter is pretty noncontroversial. You may be forgiven for thinking that. Most people would agree with this. I beg to differ. Seriously. How come? Well, if you say to somebody who is down on his luck and who is struggling, to put food on the table that his life is in intentional and that somehow some way he chose that life, you might not get a happy response. In fact, you might even get punched in the face. How dare you say something like that? Would anybody who’s struggling, who is facing all sorts of issues like health problems, legal problems, divorce and mental issues intend that kind of life? Would they really choose that kind of life?
Everything In Life Is Based On Choices
Don’t get me wrong. Sometimes your responses to whatever the world brings your way are repeated so frequently that they seem almost automatic. Don’t assume that just because you can predictably respond a certain way when you detect certain things that this is somehow automatic behavior. Don’t fool yourself into thinking that you have absolutely no choice when you take certain actions. No. All these habits actually spring from choices. It takes a while to develop a new habit. In fact, according to some estimates, picking up a new habit or breaking one can take anywhere from twenty-one days to sixty days. You have to repeat the same pattern before you develop or break a habit.
Too Many Of Us Choose To be Blind
Who in their right mind would consciously blind themselves? I can’t even think of one person who would do that. You have a serious competitive advantage when you can see. Even if you can see with just one eye, you still have a massive advantage over somebody who has no sight at all. Interestingly enough, a lot of people choose to be blind at some level or other. I’m not talking about being physically or legally blind. I’m talking about overlooking a very important power that they have. You have to understand that in any group of people, 20% will always make more money, have more sex, achieve better results, own more stuff, you name it. Regardless of how you measure success, these 20% will always come out on top. This, after all, is the Pareto principle. How bad is this inequality? steal it all. They didn’t point a gun at people’s heads and force them to give it up.

How Mentalism Work
This also means moving on from the past. I understand that you may have had a difficult past. Maybe you are a survivor of abuse. Maybe you made bad decisions in the past and you’re feeling guilty about them. Maybe there are certain people around you that create a hostile or toxic environment that really eats away at your self-esteem and motivation. Taking ownership means letting go of all of that and focusing instead on what you can control. Ultimately, when all the dust has settled in our lives, there is really only one thing we control and that is our thoughts. This is Mentalism’s bedrock principle: control your thoughts and you control your life. Mentalism is actually made up of ve different beliefs. You have to believe in these principles, otherwise it’s not going to work for you. Here they are in short order.
Principle #1 All stimuli are neutral
Principle #2 Change your mental filters
Principle #3 Change your mental habits
Principle #4 Change your emotional response habits
Principle #5 Change your reality through changed actions
All of these flow into each other and are dependent on each other. For Mentalism to create the kind of change you have been dreaming of in your life, you have to believe in all these principles and let them work in your life. This is crucial because if you don’t believe any of these principles, then Mentalism is not going to work for you. After all, it’s all about thought ownership.
