The one thing I’ve learned about myself is how simple my brain is when it comes to understanding concepts or ideas. Because of that, I sometimes take a longer time or I need a different approach to really grasp something. In a simple way of putting it: I’m not exactly the “naturally intelligent” type lah, but I am very diligent and endlessly curious, that helps. I’m always in awe of people who know so much, because my brain doesn’t process as quick or as cool as I wish it were.
The best method for me is to simplify any concept by turning it into a metaphor from everyday life, something I can relate to and feel. I love doing that, and I’m actually good at spotting patterns and connecting abstract ideas to relatable stories. Stories and metaphors are my main forte. Maybe that’s why I read so much.
Anyway, today I learned about this concept: “How the Inner Field Shapes the Outer World.” It sounds simple especially if you’re familiar with things like the Law of Attraction, manifestation or even the idea of redha and do'a. Different names, same essence. But my focus today is not the label, it’s understanding what these layers actually mean, and how I can apply them in my life.
The first infographic is the first version, but I feel like this is too complicated - my brother would avoid reading it indefinitely because he avoids my nerdy posts. So I designed another version that he might actually give a chance to.
The second visual became what I call the Projector Principle:
Reality is a mirror that reflects from the inside out. Like a projector, your inner state is the light source, your identity is the lens, your beliefs form the film reel, and your actions play out on the screen of the world. What you consistently experience “out there” is not random, it is shaped by the stories you tell, the self-image you hold, and the emotional field you broadcast to the world.
Change the source, and the picture of your life changes with it.
Itu je, that's the concept.

If you want to read more to my nerdy post or you want to do self-work, please continue:
We have a concept — now how to use it? Any idea is useless until it becomes usable. Most people try to change reality at the screen level: more action, more willpower, reacting to life and fixing outcomes. That’s the weakest leverage point. It’s slow, exhausting, and often temporary. With this model, you gain a map of where to act for maximum transformation.
So, what can you do?
- Diagnose the source of a pattern - whenever something painful, repetitive, or stuck shows up, ask:
- L1 - What keeps happening? What are the recurring outcomes?
- L2 - What story am I telling about myself?
- L3 - Who do I believe I am in this situation?
- L4 - What state or emotion am I reflecting underneath it all?
- Stop wasting energy on the wrong layer - shift your effort inward and upward. Stop fixing symptoms, blaming circumstances, or reacting to the same dumb behaviours (omygod, have you not learned enough?? ugh).
- Change reality by changing the origin - go deep into your core program and rewrite the source code, instead of asking the intern to find a bug in your 2010 script.
- your actions (Screen) → aligned behavior, not forced behavior
- your narrative (Reel) → reframing, cleaner stories
- your identity (Lens) → self-image work, embodied choice
- your state (Field) → meditation, breath, nervous system regulation
You can't control the reflection. You can only master the one who looks into the mirror. You lah tu, you need to embody the choice you made, not just tell yourself over and over pastu jadi. Tayah nak indenial tipu2 diri sendiri, you decide then you stick with it. You hold the key to yourself, kan dah byk kali ulang. Takpe lah, agaknya I mmg suka jadi weaklings 😌 Issokayy.
