We Are All 'Main Characters' in Our Own Unique Universe

There has been a lot of conversation surrounding Main Character Energy online over the last several years, but what is it exactly? The best way to explain this energy is by breaking down a motion picture. Every film consists of three types of characters.

The supporting actor is usually the best friend, spouse, family member, or someone near the main character. This individual is supportive and provides clarity for the main character. They are generally the voice of reason. Although this person is a part of the storyline, we usually don’t know much about the supporting actors because the story isn’t about them. The primary focus is always on the main character, so everyone else falls into the background.

Aside from the supporting actors are the background performers or extras. These individuals have nonspeaking roles and are place fillers. The extras help tell the story and make the movie more believable. These are the people at concerts, in hotels, airports, or at the table next to the main character in a restaurant. These characters do not serve much purpose and are often labeled Person 1, Person 2, or Person 3. Again, they are only there to help tell the story and support the main character.

Then, there is the main character. This individual is the star of the show and always the primary focus. This person usually has a conflict or some deep darkness to overcome. The main character endures various obstacles, trials, and tribulations, but do you notice the common theme? It usually works out in the end. It is uncommon to see a film where the main character dies or fails to overcome their personal battles. In fact, most movies have a positive outcome because a happy ending signifies hope.

We must pay attention to gain a deeper understanding of this life experience. There are endless clues and hidden meanings in plain sight if only we open our eyes. In 1996, Jim Carrey starred in The Truman Show. The film depicts a man (Truman Burbank) who is (unbeknownst to him) the main character on a massive TV set. Everyone is in on it and is playing an assigned role, but he has no clue that his entire life is a movie.

The following statement may be challenging to grasp, but everyone is their own Universe. Like Truman, we are to awaken and figure out that we are merely actors in a movie. Your parents, spouse, friends, and coworkers are supporting actors. The taxi driver, desk clerk, or cashier are extras in your production! Until we comprehend this, we will continue to fall into the background of our own Universe.

My loves, if you are not the main character, you are either an extra or supporting actor in someone else’s film. The goal is for you to become the main character. You accomplish this by awakening, rediscovery, healing, and breaking free from the Matrix. The Matrix does not allow us to become the main characters. It purposely keeps us as extras, so we never discover the truth of our existence.

In 3D reality, we work until we die and live a mundane, lackluster existence. No, no, no! That isn’t the main character’s energy. The main character follows their heart, goes after their dreams, and gets shit done. They go against the grain and never take no for an answer. The main character takes risks, faces their fears, and always strives to give an Oscar-worthy performance.

Outside of this life experience, there are so many watching your Universe. Life is one big ass stage, and you have the opportunity to give an outstanding performance. My love, all of this is for you. This life is your movie, and it is time for you to stop playing an extra and take center stage. Love, Ari.
