The Matrix

What IS the Matrix?

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.

What Truth?

That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage. Born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch. A prison for your mind.

Are you sure that the movie is FICTIONAL?? I mean seriously!! I can't believe I hadn't watched The Matrix till now. It is so profound and REAL. Thanks to my friend, I finally watched it. I have been feeling the pull toward that movie for a while now. Everything they say in it is so very true. If you haven't watched the movie. I think you should. Right now!

Morpheus tells Neo that no one can tell what the Matrix is. He gives Neo a choice between the red pill and the blue pill. One that would take him to the Truth and the other would hold him in the holographic world. We all have that choice in our hand. We can choose to live in the world we think is real or we can actually be the Truth and be in the light.

Remember The Oracle? Whom Morpheus believed to be true. I think it's representative of the so-called New Age movement right now! I think the Agents are a big part of this movement too. We can't fall prey to it again. We can't wake up into another dream. It can't keep happening. Why don't we understand that the Oracle is another construct. Remember what Einstein said - Reality is an illusion, albeit a persistent one. It is entirely up to us to decide. The Oracle gave Neo no choice. That's what today's world is about. There's apparently a choice in life. But there isn't. We all go to school, graduate and aim to achieve what counts to be success in the society. We are caught in earning money and seeking for power. It is a trap. By keeping us busy and focused on trivial things, they have kept our attention from the TRUTH.

"Do not try to bend the spoon — that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the Truth: there is no spoon."

We are plugged into this virtual reality. It's time to unplug ourselves. I know it. But one line that Morpheus told Neo felt like a voice speaking to me: sooner or later you're going to realize, just as I did, that there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.
