Are we in a Matrix and if so does it make mistakes? Are they actually mistakes or could they be clues to guide us so we may realize where we really are? We are a Matrix of some kind. We are not really stuck in some redundant 9-5 job until we die, running on the wheel like rats. We have powers, real powers. All we must do is awaken. Awaken our latent senses.
I read a quote from a wise man who said that suffering is necessary until you realize that it’s not necessary. I am seeing this more each day and it further strengthens my resolve that we are in a Matrix.
To draw an analogy from a movie we can use Inception. Remember when the people were being attacked by figures from the mans mind? Well, perhaps the same is with some of the troubles that we sometimes see in our own lives. Are are supposed to stay where we are comfortable and not break our programming? To break the programming will cause system errors, and that is where the Matrix will make a mistake and show itself. But perhaps that wasn’t a mistake. Perhaps it was a clue, a reward for doing what is right. For becoming aware of who you are, long before you were told who to be.
If we become aware of the Matrix, is this similar to when humans first gained self awareness? If we can become conscious of the Matrix can we control it? Will we no longer be forced to accept things as they come and just call it fate? But control really isn’t an accurate way to describe what I am trying to express. There is no way we can ever control this “that which is”. A better analogy would be to think of a river. If we learn to navigate the river correctly we can use the power of the water to our advantage. We can ride the flow so to speak and the power of the water mixes with our own. We and the river are one. Life is this river.
But I don’t think this Matrix is fundamentally against us. I believe we are only supposed to think it is. Isn’t this what we have always been taught. Life is tough, life is hard. In some variation or another we have been ever so subtly programmed to keep ourselves in a subservient state. Maybe we are the Matrix and the riddle that only we can solve has been created by us and for us.
Or does the Matrix go even deeper? Is my Matrix made up exactly for me and yours for you? Is each one tailored exactly for an individual aspect crucial to our evolution? Are all the people that I see all just mental images within my own world?
Do we re-live experiences until we have learned the lesson that is being presented to us? And perhaps, sometimes a lesson must come again many years later when we are better equipped to learn from it.
Alas, I digress from my original thread and must pick this back up at another time. I will close with this thought.
If we are truly the combination of every thought, word, and action that has made an impression upon us, then I am more me tonight than I was yesterday.
