The Money Matrix: How You’re Programmed to Stay Broke (And How to Break Free)

[00:00:00] The Money Matrix is there to keep you stuck. We hear this word all the time, right? The matrix system, you escape the matrix, but what does it actually mean and what is the matrix? You see, I believe everything is an illusion. We've been programmed from the outside in. We're constantly getting bombarded through media, all this stuff on the news going on. There's so much crap every single day they bombard us with to keep us oppressed. Where did this control around money come from? Now this goes back, it's more than hundreds of years, thousands of years.

[00:00:29] Now imagine you've got a group of people, they're super wealthy, they're the elite people, and these people have got the power. And what happens when you have power? How do you maintain that power? How do you retain that power? You do that by suppressing other people. You suppress other people so they can't grow. You condition them. Just recently I was putting together a training and I got this image in my mind. I remember hearing a story about a baby elephant. When an elephant is a baby, young baby, they've put a little post into the ground, tiny little post, and they say,

[00:00:59] they tie a massive heavy chain around the legs of that elephant. And what happens is that little elephant tries to struggle and move and get free. And then what happens is the elephant gives up and it stops pulling. It's just there. And you know that elephant can rip that post out just like that, but it doesn't because its brain has been conditioned, okay, unconsciously that it can't escape that.

[00:01:23] And then when the elephant's older, what did I do? They go put a rope around that same foot of that elephant, the ankle or whatever you want to call it, to the same little crappy post. And you look at the elephant and you think, you can escape. You know, like you can just rip that out, but it won't even try. This happens with us. The education system, right? I'm not against education. Don't get me wrong. If you're a teacher, don't go hating on me. But the educational system is designed in a certain way.

[00:01:51] They teach you nonsense like algebra. When was the last time you ever used algebra? There's so much crap out there that we get bombarded with that is not really useful in the real life situation. When you're older, people go to university, get degrees, study economics, and yet they still can't surpass a certain level of income. And why did we get taught it's wrong to talk about money? Whose idea was that? Money is a heavenly idea. It's a godly idea. It's a spiritual idea.

[00:02:20] We need money for everything. But why have we been taught that money is the root of all evil? People won't even talk about money. You get into a relationship. The husband, wife, partner does not want to talk about money. You can't talk about money with your parents. You can't talk about money with your peers. What were you taught around earning money? Were you taught about don't be greedy, be happy with what you got? So what's that supposed to do to suppress you, right? Suppress you from all angles.

[00:02:45] We're constantly suppressed. It's wrong to want more things. It's wrong if you want to go into a design store like Louis Vuitton, Dior, Chanel, whatever. It's so wrong to want to go buy a pair of shoes for like $3,000. That's ridiculous. Why do you want to go spend money on shoes that are going to cost you $3,000? People think you're crazy. What's wrong with that? If you really want something, why do you not have the right to have whatever you want? You want to buy two cars. In fact, I was at the gym about a month ago and the chap next to me, I know him, I went to school with him and he goes,

[00:03:13] Mindy, why do you need two cars? Why do you need two cars? I said, because I can. It wasn't in an arrogant way, but maybe it came out in a bit of an arrogant way. I said, because I can, right? Because I can have two cars. Why not? If you can have like four cars, why not have four cars? Yes, you can only drive one at a time, but if it really makes me happy to have more than one car, have a choice. Why am I not allowed to have that? Why? It's my birthright to have what I want. So just like yours. So I want you to really evaluate where you are in your life, in your business and your lifestyle.

[00:03:42] Where have you been criticized? And why do the people criticize you, criticize you? What? Because it's down to their beliefs and what they actually believe around money. So we've got to, now the internet's here. Now people are becoming more aware of how we've been conditioned over and over again. There's a lot more talk about, shall I say it? The Illuminati. I just said it, the Illuminati. People talk about the Illuminati. They've been around for years. It's only since the social media came out. People start talking about how the Illuminati controls all the celebrities, how everybody's a puppet.

[00:04:11] All the government figures are run by like, you know, they're all like puppets. They're not even running the country like Trump. He ain't running the country. There's other people behind him that actually pull his strings. And yet we get brought into thinking, you know what, this politician, that politician, it's all a control system. We're all being controlled. We're living in a society, in a world that is dominated by outside control, outside influence. And we're asleep. We're constantly being bombarded with information that is there to suppress us. You may have heard of subliminal messaging within adverts, right?

[00:04:40] If you go onto YouTube and you Google subliminal messages in cartoons, you'll see there's hidden code. There's actually people that have actually frozen, like fucking Spongebob, right? Or the Simpsons. They've frozen a scene and there's some text in there that says sex or some other things that are subconsciously going into your mind. There's so much coding that became illegal because it's so effective because it gets into your unconscious mind. So I want you to think about how much television have you been watching in your lifetime up until now.

[00:05:07] Imagine if every piece of TV, TV program cartons that you watched as you're growing up, everything had some embedded code in there. Now you're probably saying, Mindy, you're going crazy. If somebody told me this like 10 years ago, 15 years ago, I'll be like, yeah, but I've seen so much evidence of how we are being controlled. Here's a great one. Have you seen like a billboard, right? Have you seen a billboard that starts talking about flu symptoms and colds and coughs and stuff or cancer? One in three women get cancer. You drive past that every single day.

[00:05:36] Unconsciously, you're still seeing all of these things, right? Just because you're not directly looking at it, you can still notice it. Have you ever noticed that when you're watching TV, you're so brought up into this TV program, you're watching it. And all of a sudden you hear a noise and it gets your attention. Have you ever seen that? So that's your unconscious mind picking it up. What about when you're asleep? When you're asleep, you hear a noise, you hear a bang and all of a sudden you're awoken. It's your unconscious mind that's noticing these things. Now think about this, right? You see this sign that you go past every single day,

[00:06:04] unconsciously getting into your unconscious mind over and over again because you're still seeing it. Just because you're not looking that way doesn't mean it's not going in. Think about the minimum wage. Who actually invented the freaking minimum wage? I want you to question that. We've got a minimum wage here. I think it's about 12 bucks an hour. Who decided that the minimum wage was going to be 12 bucks an hour? Why can't it be like 25 bucks an hour? Why? Think about it. Look at the mortgage system, right? The mortgages were made for banks, right? So they can actually loan out money, make money.

[00:06:33] A lot of wealthy people, I've just brought myself a house, right? But I brought my house because I know this house has got potential. I can actually bring money out of it. But most people buy houses because they've been conditioned. You've been told that you've got to get your own house. You've got to get yourself a job. Get married by the time you're 25, 30. Have kids. Work in a job for like 40 years. Don't grow. Stay there. Just be happy with what you've got. Security. We get told this thing about having a secure life. Job is security. Job is a worse thing. It's not security because you can be laid off tomorrow. You can be laid off, right?

[00:07:03] Company shuts down. Then what? Right? Now, we've been taught that you've got to get a job. Stay there long term. You know, do your service. How many people have got to like a year before their retirement age, they get made redundant. The company shuts down, but don't even get made redundant. And they lose it. They lose it. So I want you to question everything that you've been taught about money. Be happy with what you got. More money brings more headaches. Where does that come from? I believe that more money solves headaches. If you're one of those people that is constantly negative, the more money you have, the more negative you're going to be.

[00:07:33] Money makes you more of who you are. So we've got to say, you know what? It's okay for me to want more. It's my duty. It's your duty to produce more money. Like I was reading, I think it's a science of getting rich. And what was said in there, God wants you to be rich because he can extend his good for you. Right? He can expand what he does for you because you can help more people. Now, the more money I have, think about it. The more money that I make, I love giving money away. Right? I love helping causes. So the more money I make, guess what? The more people I'm able to help.

[00:08:03] I've just been to one of my clients earlier on. He just helped his staff. He's been helping his staff doing all sorts of stuff. Now, if he didn't have the money, he couldn't extend the good beyond his current reach. So challenge everything. Different cultures have different beliefs, right? You have different beliefs. Different countries have different beliefs, right? But what I'm saying is you've got to be okay with wanting more. When was the last time someone criticized you for having more, wanting more? And why do they do that? Go back.

[00:08:29] I don't know where they started from, but I think it's fascinating how most people, 99% of the world's population earn the same sort of money year in year. It's only that 1% that escaped this matrix system, as you want to call it, that they have their own conscious awareness. They actually start thinking for themselves. Most people don't think for themselves. Most people allow the outside environment to do their thinking for them. Look at your business right now. The money that you're earning consistently on a month-to-month basis, why are you earning that level of income?

[00:08:58] Now, entrepreneurship is bigger than it's ever been. Opportunities are opening up everywhere. More people are making more money than ever before. Why is that? Because there's a conscious shift happening out there, in the universe. People are becoming more aware. Social media is good and bad in it, right? But it's opened up a lot of people's eyes. You go into YouTube news, you hear people like myself talking about how we're being controlled, constantly being controlled by the outside, by whoever it is. We're suppressed over and over again. In the UK right now, there's a big thing going on that we're getting tax heavily. My kids go to a private school.

[00:09:28] So, new government come in, and now with this VAT on education. This VAT, so they actually punish you for making more money. Think about that. Now, the rich, the wealthy people like myself get punished for making more money because you're going to pay bigger taxes. You're going to pay a lot more fees, right? Now, they're on about having an exit tax. As soon as you're making too much money and you want to leave, you want to go to Dubai or somewhere where it's really tax efficient. What did they do? They sting you on the way out too. They sting you on the way out. Wow, that's crazy.

[00:09:58] Yeah, it's just, it kind of fascinates me, like, why people are so uncomfortable with money. You know, everybody wants more money, but you moan when you don't get an increase in your wage, your salary. If you're in a job, you moan when you don't get an increase, but you're not comfortable talking about money. It's like contradicting, right, yourself. You think money's good, but money's bad. Money's not everything. Okay, why don't you work for half the amount? Next time somebody says to you that money's not everything,

[00:10:27] you ask them how much they earn in an hour or a week, and you say to that person, well, why don't you go to your employer, or if you're a business owner, slash your prices in half. What will they say to you? Well, that wouldn't work because I wouldn't be able to do X, Y, and Z. I wouldn't be able to pay my mortgage. My bills have got my internet. I've got my car to run. I've got my kids to feed. So now is money important? Now, we've been doomed into this belief that money's the root of all evil. It's not the root of all evil. Lack of money, I believe, is the root of all evil.

[00:10:56] But it's just so crazy, right? How many more of your generations are going to be impacted by negative beliefs, negative ideas around money? So have a conversation with your kids, your family, your parents. Like money. If you've got elderly parents, ask them, what were you taught about money? What do you believe about money? Is it okay to want more money? I did, I recently went out into London. We did some videos like them TikTok styles. I was asking people about if they believe money's important. Go check it out. You've got to check these videos out because I want to, I want to get into people's heads around saying that money is okay. It's not that bad because money won't hurt you.

[00:11:26] You're in hospital. You need treatment. And guess what? A certain treatment you can't get anywhere else, right? There's a private hospital that offers the treatment that you need. You don't have the money to do it. Now you've got to suffer. I remember I had this thing. I'm going to probably pronounce it wrong. Planet Fasciitis is on the arch of my feet. I had this pain for so long. I couldn't run. I'd get pain. Every time I'd go for a run, the arches in my feet would start hurting. Like it felt like I'm still on a bamboo stick, right? There's so much pain. And I couldn't get that scene with the NHS here.

[00:11:56] So when I made some money, when I, when I started making some money, I got treated. I had the money and I'll tell you what, that was a game changer. I fixed my feet. I was able to run, right? Because I had money. Without money, I'd been in pain. So money, lack of money causes more pain. People say money brings more problems. It doesn't. It does to the people that are problematic people, right? It can. If you don't know how to handle that money, if you don't know how to handle that wealth, it's going to cause you problems, right? Because you haven't adjusted. So you've got to adjust your image, inner image. So are you in a prison?

[00:12:26] Are you in the matrix? What thoughts do you have on a consistent basis about your lifestyle, about your business, how you're living? What would it be like for you to be free? What does freedom even mean to you? You have choices to educate yourself, to say, right, you know what? I'm being controlled. Look at the nine to five. You get a job, you go home. You get a job, you go home. You have two days off. Why not have work for two days and have five days off and get paid more money? Well, you might say it's down to how effective people are. But think about the work day, the school days.

[00:12:56] When, who decided that you're going to start school at nine and finish at three? Why not have a 12 hour school day? Why not have a four hour school day? I question lots of different things. Why do we do things over and over again without even knowing why we do them? Think about it. Imagine in our education system, if they actually taught us, hey, listen, you have a mind. You have a mind. Your mind creates reality. You have choices and you can use your mind to manifest anything that you want. You can create out your mind. We're co-creators.

[00:13:23] Why would we never taught this at school that we're co-creators? Look at what your kids get taught at school. I'm constantly looking at what my kids get taught. My kids go to a great school. They go to a private school now and they get taught things differently than normal schools. Then I see like some of the topics they've been teaching them about money. I'm like, wow, this is good. You want to surround yourself with people that are making it, right? You want to surround yourself with like-minded people because it wears off. You look at this. We're talking about secret societies. There's all sorts of societies out there that,

[00:13:51] all sorts of different private members clubs and stuff, right? Of the elite. And they have different views on money and life. If you look at someone who's maybe a billionaire or multi-billionaire, you look at that person's views about life, success, everyday being, it's totally different. Their concept of life, their concept of self is totally different. You see someone on two different ends of the scale. You see someone that lives in social housing. It's been generational. They've been in, their parents were in social housing.

[00:14:21] The grandparents are great grandparents. A lot of them were born in the same house, same area. And they never change environments because they're conditioned to be that way. And then on the other side, you see that one person that escapes, that escapes that social housing where they lived in a council estate. They just escaped. And what do people say? That person got lucky. There's lots of entrepreneurs that have been self-made billionaires that were slept in, they slept in their cars, they were homeless, and they escaped. And people put it down to luck. It wasn't down to luck. It's down to choices they made. They made choices.

[00:14:50] Okay, so don't stay in that matrix. Don't stay stuck. Don't allow the environment to control your money. What happens? Here's an example of how this matrix works. The news tells you there's a recession coming. Think about it. Today, breaking news, we're in a recession. Just imagine right now you're in front of a TV and I'm telling you, right, today it's been officially announced that we are in a recession. And you were about to go out and buy that new TV set. You were about to go out and buy that new car. You were about to go out and buy a new carpet for your house. You were about to go out and do something.

[00:15:19] What's the first thing you're going to do? You're going to retreat. You're going to not spend money because now you've been put in a fearful state. Now you're shitting your pants. But now you're scared. Now they put the fear into you. Now guess what you're going to do? You're going to go tell somebody else, hey, we're in a recession. We're in a recession. And guess what? Word gets out. Fear. Mass fear. Fear mongering, they call it, right? And then you tell your family, you know, we're about to buy a new car. We're buying this new Mercedes. I wouldn't buy that because I just read on the news that there's a recession. Recession? Really? Shit.

[00:15:49] We better not buy it. And then what happens? Sales go down in companies, right? You start buying, people start spending. Mass control. They don't want you to be free, right? They don't want you to be free. The moment you're free, that's when you escape. That's when you have your own power and you're no longer controllable. That's when you step out, right? So I hope you found this podcast valuable. Remember, there is a system. Don't be a part of it. Thanks for tuning in to this episode of The Mindy Paul Show.
