5 “Myths” That Actually Exist (and Most People Find Hard to Believe)

Over the past few years I’ve explored a lot of things that most people find hard, or impossible, to believe in. Here are five of the most interesting “myths”, and what they actually point to.

1. The third eye

An energy centre in the middle of the head, one of the chakras many cultures have named. When it’s open, you see clearly: through people’s masks, their words, their intentions. You can’t easily be lied to or manipulated.

For most people it’s closed, mainly because of diet and a lack of self-awareness. Opening it is hard but possible, through meditation and, in my experience, a move towards a plant-based diet. Without that clarity, you’re walking towards your goal seeing only shapes, and you find out a shape was a rock after you’ve tripped over it.

2. Dragons

Yes, dragons. I mean the human ego. Look at How to Train Your Dragon: the more the village fights the dragons, the harder they fight back, until one kid asks, “Why are we fighting them? We can be friends.” His dragon takes him above the clouds, where nobody has been before.

Your ego is that wild beast. It’s been attacked for years, by other people and by your own inner critic, and it lashes out. Tame it, and let your higher self make the final call: how will this action affect us in the long run? Do we have something to lose? Very often the ego’s suggestion is what has been costing you your relationships.

3. Dimensions

The “third” and “fifth” dimensions people talk about are states of being. In the lower state you’re stuck overthinking. In the higher one you’re present, connected to your senses, and the colours literally seem brighter. A friend of mine always says: the grass is greener when you open your eyes.

4 and 5: telepathy and love

In the video I talk about the mind as both a transmitter and a receiver, and why meditation makes you receptive to messages. And the last “myth”, the one so many people stopped believing in after a broken heart: love. Why it’s real, how people can feel actions done from pure love, and how giving it has made the universe work in my favour.
