The Original Matrix

Why should people read this book?

Dear Reader,

The beauty and the value of this book lie in its content and various concepts, which readers may find are new and thought-provoking and which have the potential to provide intellectual joy every knowledge seeker looks for. Its focus is more on knowledge creation through concept clarity rather than creating an interesting story around different characters to deliver the intended message.

One of the major reasons for coming up with this book is to introduce to you and bring awareness to some of the most fundamental aspects of self, like self-awareness, self-development, self-confidence, and self-motivation, which take one on the most sought-after and purpose-driven journey of self from self-awareness to self-realization for self-actualization. This book also emphasizes the power of good thoughts and the importance of improving the thinking-speech-action sequence to improve success rates in all areas of life. It creates awareness about the laws of the universe, especially the Law of Cause and Effect/Law of Karma and the Law of Attraction, among many others, which not only help in bringing optimism and personal transformation but also in achieving success and related happiness and contentment.

There are four kinds of uses of anything. Overuse, underuse, abuse, and optimal use. In this book, we have tried to explain how the first three uses, i.e., overuse, underuse, and abuse, can harm them and how the optimal use of mobile phones, internet services, social media, and search engines can help them regain their concentration and sincerity, improve their academics and co-curricular performances, and enhance their character and personality.

This book focuses on development in terms of values and virtues, good habits (samskaras), and tendencies and focuses upon various subtle, fundamental, and original human attributes so important to improve one’s character and personality.

There is something beyond success in life. This book will take you towards that beautiful state of the human mind that holds much more importance than success and practicing, which will take your personality and success to a new level. What is that and why? You will come to know when you move ahead through various topics of the book.

Today meditation is very much in vogue. Every 3rd person in your way, you will find that going for meditation. But how many of them actually know the process of getting into it? Are they really doing the right things and getting the desired benefits? Some basics about yoga and meditation and then the practice of Raja Yoga, which I learned from one of the International Spiritual Organizations, may help readers bring positive changes in self through the change in thinking patterns and habits leading to good mental health and also how peace of mind is important for lasting happiness.

As brevity is the soul of wisdom, simplicity should be the way of life. While reading and understanding Personality Development (PD) and Organizational Development (OD) as important topics while doing my master's in human resource management, I felt there are many theories on PD that are studied by the students of engineering, management, and humanities that are not only complicated but also difficult to remember for a common man. Students hardly remember as to what kind of personality they are and ideally should be.

So, I decided to categorize and explain human personality in its most basic forms, which are understandable by all kinds of people, the development of which is actually wholesome and resonates with our life journey. So, anybody from 'Raw' to the 'Sophisticated' can approach this way towards their personality development.

There are two terms—"religion" and "spirituality"—and both are related but have different meanings. Some people may be religious but not spiritual and vice versa. Those who are aware and understand the conceptual difference between the two develop a new and changed perspective about god, its form and structure, the universe and the methods of connecting with them. The understanding of self and supreme self doesn’t seem so different and difficult.

The modules and the approach @The Original Matrix towards human development are holistic in nature and the concept stretches beyond the present on both sides of time i.e. past and future.Though it speaks equally about the significance of the past and present, the major concern still remains to enrich the people for their better future life as much as possible.

I would find myself lucky and happy if reading and then understanding the content of the book could bring the desired benefits to the readers by solving many of their problems related to their personal growth and development, which they seek, earnestly.

Wishing you all a thoughtful, joyful reading and learning!
