I've said it before and I'll say it again. All stories are false.
Negative "social matrix" stories are false. Positive "story creation" stories are false.
Try dropping all your stories. Let go of them all.
Be with what is. Let go of what is not.
+1 (no surprise there)!
The ego is convinced that you have control over what your next thought is (check it - you don't), and that these thoughts or stories are what is actually creating reality. Loves to twist something like quantum physics into this belief that it controls the world.
To let go of all stories is to see that they are just part of the matrix/dream world - they are inside of it, not the generating source of it. You can observe thought, so there is obviously something more fundamental than thought. You can observe "you" so there is something more fundamental than that.
But to ask someone to let go of all of that is to strip them of everything. If it's not my thinking and beliefs creating this world, if they are just inside of it, then maybe I'm not in control of all of this in the way I thought. Maybe the only thing left to do is humble myself, be present with what is, observe, question, and let life/"gut" dictate treating each moment accordingly, which may be different than the last moment. All certainty is gone, my nice little model of how the universe works is gone, all safety nets are gone, all comforting illusions are gone. The belief that you are a total victim of this world or that belief that you are the total master creator of it are exactly the same coin. As with all this stuff there's a middle. You can let go of your bullshit and work on yourself without thinking that sharks won't eat you because you changed your subconscious beliefs because they create everything.
It's a lot to ask. You have to want it more than just eating the steak (and it won't even necessarily lead to attracting any more women!)
