The matrix is a documentary...And it's a good thing. Not because we're being controlled by an AI or alien race. But because what we think of as the world is really just a dream...a virtual reality video game of sorts. Let me explain... We are going through a massive paradigm shift right now and most people don't realize Physics is basically imploding.... Last year the nobel prize was awarded to someone proving local realism is false What this means is that what we think of as the world isn't actually objectively there "outside" The world is constructed ONLY when it is perceived Physical atoms as building blocks of everything have been the foundation of physics for at least the last 500 years, but all this is collapsing, mainly because of this thorn in their side that is consciousness Physical realists, those who believe the outside world is real and composed of matter, cannot figure out how it could possibly create consciounsess... How can atoms, spin, charge, etc create what it feels like to fall in love, or eat steak? It cannot. And now quantum physics is showing us what the ancients always knew... That consciousness generates MATTER...not the other way around. So how does this relate to the matrix? Because if a table isn't really a table, or if a chair isn't really a chair...that also means that our "body" isn't really our body. Our body too is generated ONLY when it is perceived, which means that who we are is something BEYOND our body. You are not your body. You are the consciousness that perceives and CREATES your body. This is basically what every single religion and spiritual tradition have said for eternity, but now we have the science to back it up. So you're not in the matrix because you don't own enough bugattis or whatever...you're in the matrix so long as you believe that you are your body and nothing more. Consciousness uses our body, almost like an avatar, just to navigate this 3D world. Escaping the matrix is realizing just that...that you are SO much more than your body...your body is just one small sliver, the tip of the iceberg of who you really are. The world is basically a video game that our consciousness is using to play and evolve This is why people who've had near death experiences feel so much expansion and love...because they're just taking off the costume of who they are and stepping into who they really are. So stop taking everything so damn serious... And use everything as its meant to...as a play and a pointer to something our consciousness needs to grow and realize who it really is
