0. Reality Operator Levels Card 0.X 🌟

This card was updated on May 29, 2025 — start the game now! 🚀

What Is This? 🔍

This is not a ranking, not a hierarchy, not a system of achievements.
It’s a mirror of your journey, where each level is just a turn on the path, not a final destination. It’s a feedback element in the form of levels.

Why “Levels”? 🗺️

Because the human mind loves reference points.
But here, these reference points are not rigid frameworks—they’re markers on a map to assess your position, to see your progress, especially in the early stages.
Even the author of these levels cannot definitively say whether they’re necessary or not. If this doesn’t resonate with you, don’t waste your time, energy, or emotions. 🙏
The main rule of the Game is that it should be interesting, but only you can make it interesting for yourself! 🎮

What’s It For? 🎯

To remind yourself:

  • The journey is more important than the result.

  • You are always “in the game”; the question is: are you its author or not?

  • The point isn’t to be “higher,” but to be more aware, to manage your resources.

The levels of the Reality Operator (RO) are primarily determined by the mental level—your level of awareness. Alongside this, one of the pillars is the body and working with it, and the other is emotions and working with them. It’s important to understand that body, emotions, and mind are deeply interconnected and influence each other. 💡
Working with the body affects the mind and emotions. Working with emotions affects the mind and body. Working with the mind/consciousness affects the body and emotions.
In addition to this card, there will also be a self-diagnostic card and an action card. 📋

A Human as a System 🧬

A human is a system that includes many interacting external and internal systems and subsystems. What’s highlighted here is just one way of looking at it—there are actually many more perspectives, but for clarity and simplicity, we focus on these three: body, mind, and emotions.
In practice, working with one system allows you to influence another, which is supported by scientific research and practices. For example, somatic therapy can reduce emotional stress and normalize thought processes by relaxing the body, while conscious relaxation and meditation can relieve physical tension and calm emotions. 🧘

A Disclaimer 📌

Everything presented here is not dogma but reflects the author’s perspective. Some of what’s said can be backed by scientific research, while some cannot.
The purpose of creating this Reality Operator levels map is to develop a philosophical-entertaining paradigm and the game world of the Reality Operator, which allow you to adjust and shift your perspectives and perception patterns. This is an intellectual Game that can help you become the Operator of your reality! 🎲
Perhaps you’ve already felt changes in yourself and your perception of the world. The Game is just opening up to you, and I invite you to start it—the Game of your own reality! ✨

Levels as a Guide 🛤️

The proposed levels are not dogma but a guide to track your place in the game, your progress, your movement. It’s important to understand that this is not a mandatory option: you might create your own system of levels, or perhaps you don’t need this at all.

Reality Operator Levels 0.X – 1.0 🏁

The first set of levels, 0.X to 1.0, are the initial stages in the development of a Reality Operator. They are largely tied to the mind—mental work—but are not disconnected from the other systems: emotions and body.

On the Maturing of the Inner Observer 🌱

Friends! This part isn’t about “progress” in the usual sense (points, scores, achievements) but about the gradual maturing of your inner observer. Even if the changes are minimal and barely noticeable, this is where the material accumulates—the material from which a leap in awareness is born.
It’s important to understand that the chaos and lack of system at 0.X levels are not a mistake. This is a natural stage where the mind, emotions, and body begin to “hear” each other for the first time, though they don’t yet know how to work together.
Don’t fear chaos—it’s one of your elements of perception and management. A Reality Operator works with all layers: chaos and order, darkness and light. This isn’t a battle but the art of navigation. ⚖️

How to Move to Level 1.0? 🧭

Sometimes the transition to level 1.0 is triggered not by a thought but by an experience: a strong emotion, a crisis, a bodily experience (e.g., through breathing practices, trauma, or catharsis). But here’s the key: you don’t have to wait for an external push—you can create your own challenge or experiment, like having an honest self-conversation, a week without social media, or changing a habit. 📵
Level 1.0 begins where a person first realizes: “I don’t just need to react to what’s happening—I need systematic work on myself, in all directions: body, emotions, and consciousness.” From this moment, the real Game begins! 🎲

Setbacks Are Part of the Game 🔄

Important: Setbacks are possible. Sometimes, even after reaching level 1.0, a person temporarily slips back into chaos. This isn’t a reset but a part of the game—an opportunity to reassemble yourself with new experience.
Setbacks ≠ failure, not a reset, but part of the game:

  • A setback is a moment of self-reassembly.

  • At the old level, you’re already equipped with new experience.

  • A setback can become the starting point for a new cycle.

🔑 Multiple Development Scales

You’re not moving along a single line. You have at least three parallel scales:

  • Body 🏃

  • Emotions ❤️

  • Mind 🧠

You might be at 0.6 on one scale and 0.3 on another—and that’s perfectly normal. A Reality Operator is about assembly, tuning, and integration. That’s why progress happens in spurts, and you shouldn’t fear inconsistency.
For example, an athlete might have a well-developed body and emotions tempered through self-discipline, connected to pain and fatigue, but may not know how to handle social media and the emotions it triggers. A scientist might be logical and consistent in their professional field but struggle with how to interact with their young children, have a weak body, and so on.

Potential from Birth 🌟

It’s worth noting that from birth, the vast majority of people have a very high level of bodily development—a gift of nature that needs to be wisely utilized. In other words, by default, children have a very high potential as Reality Operators, not only in terms of their body but also their emotions. However, when it comes to their mind and mental framework, they are entirely at the mercy of the surrounding system—in our case, typically the Dark System:

“Children are born with a flexible body and pure emotions, but under the influence of the Dark Order, their natural reactions (anger, joy) become layered with patterns, and their mind receives pre-programmed scripts.” 🍼

For Motivation and Reducing Anxiety 💡

Consider this:
Level 0.X is a stage of gathering scattered knowledge and skills, but true development begins after realizing the need for systematic work that integrates the mind, emotions, and body.
You don’t have to understand everything right away. Wandering at this stage is natural, but not mandatory.
Reaching level 1.0 is about being ready to work even with the Dark System:

Key Insight: Moving to 1.0 isn’t about “becoming smarter” or “collecting all achievements”—it’s about opening a new trajectory. It’s like entering a game where you gain access to new maps and modes.
It’s the moment you first take on the role: you’re no longer just a participant or observer—you’re an Operator who begins to realize they have at least a piece of the control panel in their hands. 🎮
And yes, this still isn’t about controlling the external world but about tuning your own reactions, states, and perceptions.

What’s Important to Remember? ✅

  • Don’t fear chaos—chaos is the material for tuning.

  • Don’t strive for perfection—you don’t have to be an “ideal Operator” right away.

  • Don’t confuse levels with self-worth—a level doesn’t make you “better” or “worse” than others; it’s just a map of your journey.

  • Don’t expect smooth progress—there will be setbacks, pauses, and leaps. That’s natural.

  • Don’t wait for a ready-made guide—this map isn’t about what to do but about the state you can use to find your own steps.

💡 Remember: You’re moving through a three-dimensional grid—body, emotions, mind. And you can be at different stages on each axis. That’s normal. Even if you develop just one aspect, it influences the others. But the real qualitative leaps begin when you learn to connect these spheres and integrate them into a cohesive whole. 🌐
