Inside The Matrix
The Real World is Energy
On the surface "The Matrix" appears to be about a world where people realize their minds are simply running simulation lives inside a computer, while their physical bodies lay dormant inside energy harvesting capsules. Small groups of people realize this and to break free. At the time, that blew a lot of people's minds.
Ironically, The Matrix movie itself was just another layer of illusion & metaphor. It is a metaphor for REALITY. Our consciousnesses aren't living inside computer generated bodies; they're living inside biologically generated bodies.
The important thing to realize is this:
We are the consciousness, not the container.
Furthermore, we can escape the container at will, just as Morpheus and the other rebels did in The Matrix. But first, we must realize that we are inside containers, and "I am not my container".
It takes Neo a while to realize the repercussions of this, but when he does, you see him turn into the computer, and enter the "digital world". When we realize that we are consciousness, we can enter the astral/cosmic/consciousness world.
Neo becomes one with the digital world. He exists inside it, yet he is not separate from it.
It is the same with us and The One Consciousness.
We can exist as individuals within it, but we are not separate from it.
We are literally one.
All Is One.
But how can we come to this realization?
I'm happy to tell you that it's not theoretical or imaginary.
You can actually experience this awakening.
The interesting thing about this is that consciousness is by definition subjective.
It is called subjective because it is different for everyone.
But it is only different because we are powerful, and we each, literally, create our own realities.
In the physical world, our containers limit our vision.
We don't see our power, and so we all obey the the laws that physicality seems to imply.
This is called objectivity, and it is the same for everyone, and it is incredibly DIS-empowering.
When you awaken, you can leave objectivity behind.
Science wants you to believe that Objectivity is good and Subjectivity is bad.
But why?
Because subjectivity is hard to measure?
Why worry about measuring when you can experience and feel in your bones that things are the way you want them to be?
Part of the problem is that Scientists are very attached to physical, objective reality.
More than most people, that IS their definite world view, and they are biased toward interpreting everything through that lens.
It is more difficult for them to realize that these containers are all illusory.
They can measure it, so it must be real.
No - it's not real, it's just objective.
Within the objective world, scientists are correct.
Within the subjective world, subjectivists are correct.
Furthermore, scientists do not realize that what they believe literally creates their reality.
This is problematic because scientists do not believe in subjective reality / unmeasurables.
Scientists by definition require proof, whereas Believers are willing to accept things without tangible evidence.
The scientists' disbelief prevents them from directly experiencing the very thing they would love to prove.
Their disbelief of it prevents them from ever being able to measure it.
Is it possible for a believer to measure?
I don't know. Maybe, maybe not.
But the important thing is that if a believer experiences it, he knows it to be true.
Experience is our most important measurement.
There are those who say experience cannot be trusted, because our senses and memories are not dependable.
While that may be true in the objective sense, it is not true in the subjective sense.
What I remember IS my experience.
If I believe that I know God intimately, what does it matter if you cannot measure that?
To quote The Architect: "The function of The One is now to return to The Source, allowing a temporary dissemanation of the code you carry, re-inserting the prime program." -- sounds like shared consciousness & reincarnation to me!
To quote Morpheus: "The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window, or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work; when you go to church; when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth: that you are a slave born into bondage; into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch; a prison for your mind. Unfortunately no one can be told what The Matrix is.
You have to see it for yourself."
To go back a little further, "The Force is what gives the Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together." -Obi-Wan Kenobi, Star Wars
BOTH films are talking about unbounded consciousness & oneness.
Shared consciousness/connectedness is how Vader could tell Obi Wan was nearby.
The fact that everything IS consciousness is what allowed Luke to lift heavy things; grab his lightsabre at a distance; and slice the training droid with his eyes shut.
He could see them with his Mind's eye -- his consciousness.
This isn't fiction.
This is our true potential.
