Is Neo the “One”?
In the thrilling, climactic scene of The Matrix, Neo is being chased by Agent Smith and his men intent on killing him. However, as the agents fire their guns, Neo has a stunning revelation: the solid world he perceives is actually nothing more than a computer code made up of ones and zeros running in the background. This realization allows him to manipulate the code and avoid being hit by the bullets. He watches in amazement as the bullets fall harmlessly to the ground. The scene is a powerful moment that highlights the potential of science and technology to transform our understanding of reality. However, it is important to recognize that this moment is purely fictional and should not be confused with reality. It may seem unnecessary to point out this obvious fact. However, from this simple truth, some people bizarrely jump to the conclusion that with sufficient understanding and appreciation of the digital nature of reality, we too can manipulate our reality and achieve seemingly “magical” results just as Neo did.

It’s settled! Laughter is the best policy!
Grrrrrrr or Hahahaha ??? When something goes wrong, is it “”REBT Kosher” to intentionally laugh rather than lash out in anger? Originally posted 2015-07-28 03:11:17.
Can you learn REBT-CBT on your own???
Why do I like REBT? Let me count the ways! One of REBT’s main strengths is that it is entirely possible (although not necessarily easy) to learn it on your own by reading books, watching videos and home practice. I did! Originally posted 2016-03-14 03:34:22.

A reader is confused about labels and self-rating
Rate behavior . . . not self, and you are doing good ePrime and on the right track for doing good REBT. This process is even more comprehensible and user-friendly if you learn something about ePrime, which is not too much of a stretch Originally posted 2013-07-17 02:39:22.
