Class Overview
In this 2-hour session #3 of Augmented Awakening, my friend and master coach Anand Rao led us through an eye-opening exploration of how our brains make predictions and how AI can help us:
See beyond our default meaning-making patterns.
Fundamentally transform our perception of reality.
Reshape our consciousness for our growth.
We examined how our brains constantly filter reality, creating predictions that often limit what we perceive. Through practical demonstrations and engaging exercises, Anand guided us through the process of breaking free from these constraints, revealing how AI can be a powerful ally in expanding our awareness.
For those who missed the live session, this replay is an opportunity to experience a fundamentally different approach to AI—one that leads to surprisingly elegant shifts in perception and unlocks new possibilities for growth and insight.
Given that Anand’s unique training method focuses on embodied understanding, I really recommend giving your full attention to the recording and doing all of the exercises.
During the class, we:
Explored how our minds filter reality through unconscious predictions
Witnessed powerful visual demonstrations of our perception limitations
Experienced Zen-inspired thought experiments that disrupt mental patterns
Examined the psychology behind our resistance to changing viewpoints
Created prompts that generate surprising perspectives and insights
Learned techniques to recognize and overcome "change blindness"
Discovered how AI can reveal our hidden assumptions and biases
Practiced transforming mental blocks through creative reframing exercises
Connected ancient wisdom traditions to modern AI capabilities
Developed practical approaches to use AI for personal transformation
About Anand Rao (The Master Facilitator Of This Class)
About Anand
Before becoming a full-time coach, Anand had a conventional technical background in theoretical physics and engineering. But then, he made a very unconventional career decision. Rather than maxing out his career in engineering, he focused on becoming a highly paid-consultant so he could work just a few hours per month.
This gave him extra time to make personal evolution his #1 focus. With this time, he searched for and learned directly from many of the world’s top change work practitioners.
As a result of 30+ years of compounding, Anand now has the most unique and effective mix of change work modalities that I’ve ever seen.
Normally someone of Anand’s coaching level would be known across the world. But being widely known is not what drives him. Therefore, working with him now in intimate settings is a special opportunity.
More recently, he has developed a mastery in using AI to accelerate personal evolution in ways that honor human uniqueness. This course shares what he has learned so you can use AI in a way that is authentic to you.
Anand’s Unique And Elegant Teaching Methodology
In short, Anand is the best coach that I’ve ever worked with. He uses the largest and most diverse amalgam of proven growth modalities that I’ve ever seen someone use, and he operates in a completely different paradigm than other coaches.

Coaching Programs. Anand facilitates multiple group coaching sessions per week in addition to doing one-on-one sessions. Anand only works with individuals that he pre-vets, and he turns away most people because they’re not a good fit. He also occasionally facilitates free sessions that are open to the public.
Newsletter. You can find Anand’s new newsletter with lots of amazing content at Developmental Mastery: Change That Works. I particularly recommend his Effortless Effort series.
