Do you know who you are?

Who you truly are?

Do you know why we’re here?

And more importantly, what “here” even is?

We now know that our senses - our seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, smelling - are all simply interpretations of energy happening within our brain.

In other words, this entire reality is self-projected from within our minds, and everything in this space - even space itself - is nothing but an illusion. A figment of our imagination.

And yet it’s real. So real.

We are experiencing it, so regardless of if it is an illusion, it has important truths to it.

But what is truth?

These are the kinds of questions that have both plagued and blessed me for my entire life.

These are what I see as “high leverage” concepts that frame everything in your life, and therefore impact everything in your experience.

These are the ideas that matter. That shape everything.

And out of them have come some of the most amazing insights and wisdom that has truly changed my perspective on the world and allowed me to help others work through problems in their lives.

But up until now these ideas and concepts have tumbled around the drying machine of my head, clinking around on a mostly theoretical level, only peaking out into the physical world under the right circumstances.

Recently, I hit a major breakthrough surrounding concepts of guilt, creativity, expression, worthiness, and reception that changed how I’m filtering experiences and interacting with the world (these are all vibrationally connected to the sacral chakra, and I plan on writing about this breakthrough in depth soon - leave a comment if that interests you and I’ll put more time into it to get it out sooner).

This breakthrough has led me to begin feeling the desire to create and express.

More accurately, it removed the brakes that have been holding me back from my desire to creatively express. It feels very much like I’ve been driving my car with the parking brake on for 28 years and now just released it.

And let me tell you - smooth, easy driving is much more fun, and takes you to much cooler places.

All of this to simply lead up to a quick introduction of who I am, which I see as much less important than the ideas I can share with you:

My name is Tim Berzins. I am a thinker, an explorer, and a writer. While searching for labels, those are the only ones that felt right.

Less important things about me include that I graduated from the University of Delaware in 2011 with an Honor’s degree in Nutritional Sciences with Health and Exercise, I used to own a fitness blog called Berzinator Fitness Designs, I worked recently in Florida for the popular online health brands Kinobody and Truth Nutra, and now own the online brand “Global Crypto Academy” with my two friends, Trent and Austin (their names will certainly pop up in our discussions here on Steemit).

But like I said, none of that really matters - not to me, and certainly not to you.

What does matter are the ideas. The way of thinking. The application to your life that allows you to experience something better. Something more.

Among thousands of topics and ideas stored on the thousands of notes in my phone and computer, a few I consciously plan on exploring with you at the time of writing this include:

• Mathematical patterns of the universe, applied to real, experiential life
• Understanding the program our human brains run on, and how you can harness it
• Simple tweaks to your thinking that can result in 100x more enjoyment in your life
• Mental framing to become and achieve anything you desire
• Deep, yet practical awareness of your emotional guidance system
• Abstract concepts that make you question your entire existence
• Awareness, attention, focus, and the actual power of your consciousness

And of course: Who you really are, and what you’re doing here.

It’s something we forget on a daily basis, when we wake up and immediately become consumed with the story of our life that we pick back up, like pressing play on a captivating movie that makes you forget you’re sitting in your living room.

This life is most certainly captivating. But we can get more out of it if we remember that it’s all a story.

And it’s a story we can shape and create.

If any of the jibberish above caught your eye, clicked with you, or made you feel a deep “something” in your gut - then hit the follow button and leave a comment. I’d love to keep sharing with you, and continue exploring these concepts further with you.

I’ve gathered a lot of puzzle pieces - I still don’t know where some of them belong, while others have bridged huge portions of the puzzle that up until then seemed completely separate and unrelated.

And while I’ve been busy working on collecting those pieces, building the puzzle of life, and staring in awe at the picture that is eternally coming into focus...

...you hold some of the pieces that I don’t. Maybe even some pieces that I can’t.

So maybe, just maybe, in our exploration of life together, we can find something profound, and use it to create something brand new and amazing.

I hope you join me on this journey.
