On this episode, a dark matter lesson in manifesting our dreams. This is the Holistic Alpha Male Optimization podcast where we help you unleash your true power as a man. Hey guys, welcome back to the show. I'm Stephen Mathis. Thanks for being here, being part of the tribe. I'm so glad that we've crossed paths, however and whenever that was. Let's talk about manifesting our dreams before I talk about dark matter. And a lesson from that, a very, very critical lesson.
In fact, probably one of the biggest things that actually stops all of us from achieving things that we have come into our mind or our heart. Maybe in some ways, but we don't end U bringing them into reality. It might be the biggest thing that holds us back, the biggest
key. Before we dive into the details of that, I want to share with you a real world example of a man who is very much manifesting his dreams, which are probably different than yours and they're different than mine, but they're definitely his and he's definitely manifesting them in a very real way. I'm talking about my nephew Daniel. Some of you may know he plays Major League Baseball. He got called up to the majors last year, which was, of course, already in and of itself putting
on a Major League uniform. Uniform is a major accomplishment and already kind of accomplishing part of his dream. But that was really only the start. He's had an amazing year this year so far. A few days ago, he had a game where he hit two home runs in the ninth inning. This happened. I want you to listen to this and then we'll I'll be back with you. The next offering swung out and blasted hide deep to right.
Gone. How about that, a Grand Slam to right by Daniel Sneeman. Oh what a celebration. Awaiting him in the first base dugout and the Guardians stun the sell out crowd and lead it 5 to 3. John Snyder will make a pitching change. Daniel Sneeman with two home runs.
So in that game, and he's been absolutely kicking ass for a bit now this year and overall for the year, but in that particular game, two home runs, including that Grand Slam in the ninth with his team trailing, he was responsible for all five runs. The last player to hit two home runs in a game, including a Grand Slam with his team down in the 9th inning. The last player to do that was Babe Ruth in 1919, which is a very, very cool company to be in.
Obviously, he is continuing to stack bricks in manifesting his dreams. Let's talk about a very, very critical point in manifesting our dreams. And that is a lesson that I was reminded of watching a show that some of you guys may have seen. I don't watch a lot of TV. In fact, I almost never watch TV. Let's like hang out with my kids. I'm more of an audio book kind of guy. But I had my one of my other nephews. I'm so blessed to have an awesome family.
By the way, I had one of my other nephews recommend to me. Patrick recommended to me a couple of shows. One of them was Dark Matter. Dark Matter is an Apple original. It's an Apple TV, absolutely fantastic series. I'm not going to give you too much detail to ruin anything for you, but I'm going to need to give you a couple of basic ideas in order to explain the lesson that I was very powerfully reminded of.
So the main character, Jason, he's a physics professor and he invents a box, a combination of a box and a drug that allows him as a human to use the concept of superposition of multiple realities existing at the same time to actually allow him to step into other realities. So you might, some of you guys might be very familiar with that. Some of you guys might be like, what the hell are you talking
about? In essence, the idea of superosition says that there are multiple states that exist at the same time. There's a thought experiment called the Schrodinger's cat experiment, where it is only a thought experiment. This has never been actually conducted. But in essence, there's a cat in a box. There's a little more to it, but in essence, the thought is that actually this cat is both dead
and alive at the same time. And we've been able to, the scientists have been able to replicate this idea on a very, very, very small kind of particle level where we basically know to a certain degree now that particles are not in one place. They're actually in many places at the same time. And they don't take a location until we observe it, right? So there's this. In essence, our reality is based on us observing it, and all realities exist all at the same time.
So Jason, in Dark Matter, he invents this box. He decides that he wants to kind of go to a reality where he made a different choice. Somewhere along the way, a very important choice, family kid related kind of choice. He wants to go to reality where he made a different choice. And thence this box where he goes into the box and he can in essence choose his reality. He can step into any of the infinite realities of of his life, of the world, right?
So he goes into this box, takes the drug to sort of shut off his brain, because if we're observing it, we're observing a specific reality we have. We have to sort of remove that actual act of observation in order to get into that infinite reality. I'm going to get to a very clear, very actionable point here very soon, so hang with me on that. So he invents this box, he steps in, he takes the drug, closes the door.
When he wakes up or after he takes the drug inside this box, he is now inside the what was the box, and the door looks the same, but there's a hallway that goes infinitely in both directions. And the door that he came into, he can now go out any of infinite doors that look the exact same. They're repeated over and over and over again. And behind each door is a different reality. And at first he thinks that the reality that's behind the door is specific, meaning a specific
door has a specific reality. And he's in the mode where he's like trying to find the right door to go into. But then gradually he makes a very, very important discovery. And what he discovers is that what's behind the door is not dependent upon which door it is. It's dependent upon what is in his inner world at the time that he opens the door.
But then he makes a really important nuance or a discovery of a very particular nuance because what he what starts to happen is they'll be thinking of something, but he opens the door and there's a completely different reality behind it. In some cases, a very dangerous or very terrifying reality that is not what he was thinking of. But what it was, is it was something that was in his emotions or it was in his
beliefs. So if he was thinking of this wonderful reality that he wanted to get to, but he was feeling an emotion of overwhelm, then he opens the door and he's into this reality of overwhelm. And the lesson is something that, you know, it's awesome how fiction, fiction can be so informative and transformative. There's been countless works of fiction that have been in essence, people conveying lessons and messages that very much could be put into a self
help book. But they're put into fiction, right? And something that I've talked about before, when it comes to manifesting, when it comes to drawing our dreams and stepping towards what we want to create in a powerful way, we have to align our emotions, right? So what Jason and Dark Matter discovers is that in order to open the door that goes to the reality that he wants to go to, his mind, his emotions and his beliefs all have to be in
alignment. So let's talk about a concrete example that might have happened in your life or that you could think about happening in someone's life, right? Think about how many people want to be rich? How many people want to be rich? Most, right? How many people actually are a much smaller number. Part of that is the action that they take. But there's many people who have the desire. They take the action or they take a lot of action.
It doesn't happen. Why is it not happen If you have a belief that you're not worthy of that wealth or if you have a belief that you're not good enough, or if you have other emotions that are counter to that idea, they will block you. They will act to block you because you will step into a different reality. So let's talk about a
relationship. If you have in your eye, in your mind, the idea that you want to be in a relationship, but in your heart you have a belief that you're not worthy of love, then you're not going to attract the relationship that you desire. We absolutely have to align our thoughts, our emotions, and our beliefs if we're going to create and bring the our thoughts, the things we really desire, the
things we prefer. If we're going to bring those into reality, or rather we're going to step into a reality where those are true, then we must go in and figure out what emotions and what beliefs are getting in the way of that are conflicting with that. And we need to reprogram those and systematically step into different beliefs and different emotions that align with what we desire. The ways that we do that are by doing the inner work, right?
It's meditating, it's your mindful edging practice. It's thought. It's just literally thinking about and going into your inner world and having an awareness and an openness to understand well what emotions actually are in there and are those in alignment with what I'm trying to create? Do I actually have a ton of do I have a belief, a deep set belief that I'm not good enough to do a certain thing even though I want that thing and even though I'm
working to do that thing? Do I have a belief that I'm not good enough for that? That will block you, will prevent you from achieving that thing. So this alignment is absolutely crucial. I freaking love to see Daniel living it out in real life. And you know what? I see so many of you guys, your dream probably is not to play Major League Baseball. Maybe it is. Maybe there's a few of you who are listening, you know, young guys, maybe that's your dream.
If so, like keep keep stepping. No matter what your dream is, though, keep stepping because you wouldn't have the dream if it wasn't meant for you. You wouldn't have the dream and the desire if it wasn't meant for you. But it will only happen when you align your thoughts, your emotions, and your beliefs. Do that work. Keep stacking, keep stepping. We'll talk to you soon. Hey brother, thanks for listening.
