Is reality actually an "alien board game" where we are just "blinking lights in empty space"? In this episode, best-selling author and intuitive expert Colette Baron-Reid joins us to explain why the Universe is a simulation that is constantly talking to you—and why your brain is actively programmed to ignore it. Colette shares incredible stories of apparent "glitches in the matrix," including manifesting a New York Times feature while sitting in a hot tub with zero attachment, followed by an immediate confirmation at exactly 11:11. She breaks down the neuroscience of the Reticular Activating System (RAS)—the "bouncer" in your head that filters out almost all stimuli to keep you sane—and explains how to re-engineer this filter to see the opportunities you are currently blind to. We also dive deep into her raw personal journey from facing addiction and near-homelessness—saved only by a "lasagna miracle"—to almost 40 years of sobriety. She recounts the terrifying moment her father went into a psychic trance at a cocktail party and exposed everyone's affairs, and demonstrates how Oracle cards act as a mirror for the subconscious mind in a live reading.
