Bryan Johnson Created His Own Reality

A lesson in manifestation, on crack?

Bryan Johnson has always been working towards the current outcome.

You are what you eat. Your life becomes the thing you obsess about.

I learned this before I could drive, when I was learning to ride horses. The more you focus on not riding your horse into something (like a tree), the more likely you are to run straight into said tree.

Target fixation is when your brain becomes so intensely focused on a hazard that your body subconsciously steers the vehicle or your movements directly toward it.

Great, but we’re not talking about driving cars or riding horses. We’re talking about the human body, and probably a whole lot more. There are lessons to be learned in what Bryan Johnson has openly demonstrated to the world.

Retrocausality in quantum physics is the idea that an action in the future can change something in the past. In our daily lives, a cause always happens before its effect, like dropping a cup before it breaks. However, some quantum physics experiments suggest that choices made today might actually change how a tiny particle behaved yesterday.

Christians will say God gave us freedom of choice. But the longer I live the more convinced I am that the script is only being played out. The Universe already knows where we are headed, and “freedom of choice” is an illusion. We take the actions needed to arrive at the predetermined destination. Which could look a lot like retrocausality, too.

Haven’t you ever experienced a moment in your life when you knew better but you couldn’t seem to make yourself change course to align with that knowledge? I know I shouldn’t call my ex, but it’s like I’m possessed and there’s nothing I can do to stop my fingers from dialing.

We label it with fancy names. Obsessive-compulsive disorders, maybe we say the person “disassociated.” I think it’s the immutable code¹ in our operating system preventing us from acting on that supposed free will to ensure we arrive where we’ve always been intended to go.

Maybe Bryan Johnson’s soul contract² detailed a particular struggle with chronic illness and death. I’ve always questioned his real motivation for swinging so far to the opposite side of his previous lifestyle. Never trust the media-friendly print outs.

He didn’t just wake up and say, “maybe I’ll stop eating junk food and get a solid 8 hours of sleep.” That would be reasonable for any person to do when they experience burn out, weight gain, and depression. Even with his existing diagnosis of hypothyroidism, he’d known about that since age 21 and didn’t go all crunch-mom for another twenty years.

If I get a blister on my toe because my shoes are the wrong size, I might go buy a pair that fits and wear a blister patch until it heals up. I wouldn’t cut my toe off or make it my life’s mission to put every shoe manufacturer out of business. See what I’m saying?

Here’s what I’m really saying — I’m not surprised at the news of Bryan Johnson’s autoimmune diagnosis. It’s as if he already knew it was coming (super-subconsciously) because he’d previously agreed to experience it, but forgot somewhere along the way.

The longer I live the more I recognize how much we are constantly making choices that determine our current state. Where you are, you chose to be.

1. Programming that can’t be overwritten or changed is typically referred to as immutable code. It is intentionally designed to be unalterable to prevent tampering, accidental deletion, or software degradation.

2. A soul contract is a spiritual idea that suggests before you were born, your soul made a “life plan” with other souls. It’s like agreeing to act in a play with your friends, where you decide the big lessons you want to learn, like how to be brave or how to forgive.
