3 Myths My Mom Told Me That Now Make Sense

When I was young, my mom shared a few myths with me that I dismissed as old-fashioned superstition. But as time passed, I found deeper meaning in them—aligning with science, metaphysics, and even the psychology of our subconscious. Here are three myths that once seemed strange but now make a surprising amount of sense.



Walking with Resistance Blocks Abundance

One of the first myths my mom told me was not to walk while dragging my feet or in a way that conveyed frustration. She believed that walking with resistance chases away good fortune. At the time, I thought it was just another one of those cultural sayings meant to correct my posture. But now, I see the deeper truth behind it.

The book The Science of Getting Rich discusses how our mindset and energy shape our reality. Moving through life in a certain way—both mentally and physically—attracts success. When we develop a habit of walking with resistance, it subtly conditions our subconscious into the opposite, a state of struggle. Of course, there may be exceptions, but overall, our physical and mental energy are connected. 

Cutting Nails at Night Affects the Subconscious

Another myth my mom warned me about was cutting nails late at night. At first, I couldn’t understand why it would matter. But after considering the psychology behind it, the idea started to make sense.

Animals, like dogs, instinctively resist nail cutting because they associate it with aggression or vulnerability. Similarly, our subconscious mind, which is more sensitive at night, might associate nail cutting with stress or discomfort. Since the subconscious plays a crucial role in shaping our emotions and thoughts—especially before sleep—it’s possible that engaging in an action linked to distress could subtly affect our state of mind. Whether through ancient wisdom or subconscious programming, this myth may have more validity than I once thought.

Staring into Mirrors Late at Night Alters Perception

The last myth my mom warned me about was staring into mirrors late at night. She believed it could have negative effects, and while I dismissed it as just another spooky superstition, I now recognize a deeper connection to the metaphysical and psychological aspects of perception.

Reality itself is often described as a mirror—what we believe internally reflects externally. At night, when we’re tired and slipping into a state akin to sleep, our cognitive processing slows, and our imagination heightens. This is why, if you stare at a mirror long enough during these late hours, you might notice a slight delay in your reflection. It’s not supernatural—it’s your brain processing stimuli differently due to fatigue. However, the implications of this phenomenon tie into deeper metaphysical concepts, such as how we perceive ourselves and reality. Books like Reality Transurfing explore the idea that our self-concept shapes what we experience, much like a mirror reflecting back our internal state.

The Wisdom of Collective Myths

While it’s easy to dismiss myths as irrational, they often stem from collective observations. Consider how animals sense natural disasters before they happen—crickets may not have a scientific explanation for their behavior, but their instincts warn them of impending danger. Similarly, ancient wisdom, passed down through generations, might hold truths that we are only beginning to understand.

Instead of laughing off these myths, it’s worth exploring the underlying lessons they offer. Whether about energy, subconscious conditioning, or perception, these seemingly simple beliefs might just be reflections of a greater truth.

Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you in the next one!

It's Just a Simulation. A Talk on Computers, Dreams and Threads of Thoughts... Part 1

Image
Have you ever felt like life was just… a game? A vivid dream? A digital illusion? In this post, I’m diving into the idea that reality might be a simulation through the lens of personal experience, computer science, lucid dreaming, and the mysterious nature of consciousness. This isn’t about preaching a theory; it’s about sharing thoughts, patterns, and realizations that connect spiritual concepts with digital systems. Buckle up. Simulations exist to study realities without the real-world consequences—weather forecasts, car crashes, architectural drafts. They’re powerful because they help us test possibilities before fully committing. But what if life, as we know it, is a version of that? You’ve probably heard phrases like “chill, it’s just a simulation” or “life is a game.” It sounds playful, but it implies something deeper—this existence may be transient, flexible, not to be taken so seriously. That idea leads us to look at how our minds process reality, and how computers mirror ...

°Flowers, Patterns & Luck. The Kybalion 4th Principle of Polarity

Image
 There’s something enchanting about noticing a flower when you least expect it. It feels like a whisper from the universe—beautiful, unexpected, maybe even lucky. In this reflection, we dive into how flowers, patterns, and the very concept of luck intertwine, all through the lens of the Kybalion’s 4th Principle: Polarity. Using personal insight, esoteric ideas, and spiritual musings, we’ll explore how synchronicity and structure shape our reality—and why noticing a flower might be more than just a coincidence. Patterns in Poetry and Petals Humans are drawn to patterns. Whether in rhymes or the spirals of a sunflower, there’s something innately satisfying about patterns. Poetry, like nature, follows recognizable forms—think rhyme schemes like AABB or ABAB. And in nature, patterns manifest mathematically, most famously in the Fibonacci sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13… You’ll find it in flower petals, seed spirals, and leaf arrangements. It’s not just beautiful—it’s efficient. Natur...
