The illusion you can choose. You need to see your behaviour is driven by unmet needs in childhood.

Most believe they are in control of their lives and are on the right... they are actually trapped in a hamster wheel matrix on the left.

Gain /Loss righty using religion to try and gain more. 🛞 🐹

There is always a rebalancing of the wheel and it’s especially hard if your a righty who forces the energy constantly. Energy always rebalances

yes I agree with you but if my framework is real then it would explain many coincidences / things described as curses etc as being kind of inevitable... but I may be wrong - just something Ive had my eye on for 30 yrs.

Gain Loss Hamster wheel in full sight?

Absolutely- pity / victimhood gives us something and it’s addictive

Picked up a clients glitchy think about her health. Her paying attention / wheel was spinning fast.

She only got loving attention when she's sick. That script will unconsciously play out throughout life when she's being ignored... getting sick will spin her to the other side.

However in my experience, through this mind/body behaviour she will end up looking for the even deeper play... she will somehow end up being ignored.

This is her safe space.

We must learn to look at life through these deeper behavioural lens.

Love my girls ❤️❤️ - and is that a laser eyed cow at the end - I believe so 🤠🐂

sorry to hear this - no pun intended. Can you get to see a good tcm practitioner? Are you a hamster wheel right sider - always doing?

🔬 Your brain can watch itself think and improve. 🧠 #meditation

Neuroscience shows that the highest form of intelligence is not raw IQ or fast thinking. It is #metacognition. That means your ability to notice your own thoughts, question them, and adjust them in real time.

When you pause and ask why am I thinking this, your brain activates areas in the prefrontal cortex linked to self awareness and control. These regions help you spot mistakes, rethink assumptions, and choose better responses. Studies consistently show that people with strong metacognitive skills learn faster, solve problems more effectively, and adapt better under stress.

Think of it like a mirror inside your mind. Instead of being carried away by every thought, you can step back and observe it. You notice when your focus drifts. You catch emotional reactions before they take over. You recognize when confidence turns into overconfidence.

This skill is not something you are born with or without. Research shows it grows through reflection, feedback, and curiosity. Students who reflect on how they study perform better. Athletes who analyse their decisions improve faster. Even emotional resilience improves when you can label and examine your thoughts instead of fighting them.

For everyday life, this changes everything. Metacognition helps you break #habits that no longer serve you. It helps you learn from failure instead of repeating it. It turns mistakes into data instead of shame.

When you learn to “think about your thinking”, you stop being controlled by your mind. You start working with it. That is real #intelligence.

Love this 🙌

Your suffering isn't random. It has exactly five cogs. ⚙️ ⚙️ ⚙️ ⚙️ ⚙️

Naval Ravikant said something brilliant about David Deutsch's work:

"Good explanations are hard to vary."

When you look back on a truly good explanation, you think: "How could this have been otherwise? This is the only way this thing could work."

The iPhone is hard to vary. The aeroplane wing is hard to vary. The electric car design is hard to vary.

They're all constrained by reality itself: physics, aerodynamics, human hands. You can't just change them without losing what makes them work.

Here's what I realised after 30 years of debugging human consciousness:

Human suffering has exactly five shapes. Not four. Not six. Five.

The Five Hamster Wheel System isn't something I invented. It's something I discovered, like finding the periodic table of human programming.

Gain/Loss

Able/Unable

Right/Wrong

Support/Let Down

Attention/Ignore

Every pattern of suffering I've ever encountered, from Premier League players to Olympic athletes to struggling parents, fits into one of these five binary wheels.

I tried to find a sixth. I looked for years. It doesn't exist.

I tried to collapse them into four. They won't collapse. Each wheel is distinct, irreducible.

The framework is hard to vary because it's mapping to something real: the actual architecture of how childhood survival programming gets written into your nervous system.

When I show someone their specific wheel, they don't say "interesting theory." They say "Holy shit, you just described my entire life."

That's not because I'm clever. It's because the explanation is constrained by reality. It's hard to vary because it's true.

Naval talks about how good knowledge is fractal. You meet it at the level you're ready to receive it. You might get 20% the first time, 25% the second time.

That's exactly how "Glitch" works.

First read: you recognise your dominant wheel.

Second read: you see how your parents ran the same wheel.

Third read: you catch yourself spinning in real-time and step into admin mode.

The framework doesn't change. Your depth of understanding does.

If you're ready to see the five patterns that are running your life (not theory, but the actual code), grab the book here: link in bio

It's hard to vary because human programming is hard to vary.

Rob

P.S. The reason therapy often fails isn't because therapists aren't trying. It's because they're working without the map. They're treating symptoms without seeing the underlying wheel structure. Once you see the five wheels clearly, everything else makes sense. That's what "hard to vary" explanations do: they make the complex suddenly simple.

Replying to Avatar A Place To Be

Dear friends,

I’m so proud (and seriously excited) to share something very close to my heart: my husband nostr:nprofile1qqsxunegvm2wjttf52z9lktkfrf8dkese8fv0j8sdd7g6dd95ahh52gpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqgkwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8xvmc9eek7cmfv9kqhsdqhc has just published his book, Glitch - The Hidden Code Running Your Life (And How To Debug It) .

I believe this is the book the world so desperately needs. It’s written for every single one of us who has been born and raised within this society — caught up in its patterns, pressures, and noise.

And if you’re a parent, Glitch will speak to you on an even deeper level. Because doing our own inner work is the number one thing that allows us to:

* be truly present with our children

* give them real freedom

* act with love instead of fear

* create peace and connection in our homes

* and ultimately, live the life we dream of alongside them

At home and at nostr:nprofile1qqsthdez4xd23ah3e0p4734uvpltlkse7d3as9px4r6ynkjdw8etfngpzamhxue69uhkummnw3ezuetpwdukgmnn9e3kztcpramhxue69uhkummnw3ez6un9d3shjtnyv4ex26mjdaehxtndv5hsse3yqc, Rob and I live this every single day. We’re constantly learning, unlearning, and finding new ways to bring more calm, joy, and authenticity into our relationships.

What I love about Glitch is that it isn’t theory. It’s Rob’s own self-taught, self-discovered path — a way to untangle the conditioning we’ve all grown up with and find a peace of mind that changes everything:

how we parent, how we love, how we live.

I’m so excited to finally share this with you!

👉 You can take a look at the book here: www.glitchthebook.co

Love

Sylvia 😊🫶🏼

PS: Share the love

Debugging "Wasted Time" 🐹

Wasted time isn't about productivity—it's about presence.

When you're fully here with what's in front of you = not wasted

When your mind is elsewhere, resisting, anticipating, regretting = spinning on the hamster wheels

The moment you're in literally has all the meaning in the world.

Step into admin mode. Debug the reaction. Be here now.

Just went onto TikTok for first time - yikes!!

Barista trying to tell me something ?🤨

agreed - we have to delve into "will-less" and what drives our behaviour. if we are forced into learning, this forcing fragments the child's natural wholeness—separating doing from being, performance from joy, achievement from intrinsic motivation. I think there is still will but it is what drives the will.
