What is The Matrix?
The Matrix is life without imagination…

Back to imagination. The fountainhead.
The thing about imagination is that it has no timetable. It isn’t on a schedule. You can put it on like a coat and move with it at any moment you choose. If you choose.
If you strip away all the layers from any system in the world, you find the original kernel of imagination. All roads lead there.
The Matrix is life without imagination. You can say it is imposed, but that’s a convenient excuse. ANY kind of life drained of imagination would wind up being a Matrix. All by itself. It would form into layers of rock and sediment.
People don’t understand this, and they don’t want to understand this. They would prefer to lay all the blame at the door of clever evildoers. Elites. Which, of course, do exist. But that’s only half of the story, and it’s a weaker half by far.
Some people make a lifelong career out of accusing the elites of their crimes. That’s fine. More power to them. But without the other half, their efforts are dead in the water, because people love to take information and turn it into entertainment.
People want to be instructed on how to embrace a higher reality. This is called religion. So they put imagination aside and ask to be filled with a single work of art, and then they worship it. It’s a straight con, but that doesn’t stop the parade.
Here is a formula for you. It’s a rough approximation, but it’ll do. As imagination approaches half the distance to infinity, imagination becomes magic.
The laws of physics, such as they are and such as we understand them, are suspended. Imagination crosses a threshold, and when it does, all the so-called paranormal abilities kick in.
Imagination is far larger than paranormal abilities, which are really a subset of imagination.
Imagination trumps reality. Reality is slow-motion imagination, the Matrix. It appears solid and dense, but it is only a minor inconvenience, when understood from the point of view of imagination.
Obtaining this point of view is more than an intellectual exercise, it is the outcome of ACTION, and that action is imagination deployed.
Education is the effort to minimize imagination. It is training in how to become a member of the Matrix. This doesn’t mean that ignorance and stupidity are the keys to the kingdom. But it does mean that an overemphasis on learning dampens imagination and places it in a region of fog.
All systems tend to move toward imagination, if left alone. As my readers now, I’ve written many articles about the sick joke that is psychiatry. Well, if you could somehow take psychiatry and allow the professionals to invent their categories of so-called mental disorders and treat one another on that basis (and no one else), with harmless placebos, these loons would eventually arrive at the realization that they were making the whole thing up, lock, stock, and barrel. They would experience the joy of knowing they had been employing imagination to sculpt their system and structure. They would blow up right out of their Matrix and find themselves as artists.
It might take them a few thousand years to reach this point, but reach it they would.
Matrix means non-imagination. And if you could crawl around in its channels and caves and interstices, you would see it was built for one reason: to distract from the discovery of imagination and its power.
In the Matrix setting, you get a preponderance of SACRIFICE. I don’t mean generosity or kindness or good will or love. I mean self-abasing sacrifice. It coagulates in Matrix. It legislates against imagination by pretending that imagination and its freeing force don’t exist.
What I’m talking about in this article happens to be the true and buried spiritual tradition of planet Earth. A relatively few people have discovered it, and the rest have fallen into one sort of androidism or another.
You have a choice. You can go along for the ride in Matrix, or you can imagine imagination and embark on the journey of journeys.
Artists create worlds and universes. Therefore, the idea that “The Universe” is somehow our greatest guide and mentor and gift-giver is a joke of the highest magnitude.
Most people are not up to contemplating the idea of consciously creating, much less spontaneously improvising, which involves a kind of merging with what they would create.
But for those who can grasp such an idea, the world and the universe aren’t any longer arbiters and rule makers and guides. They are inventions that are already here.

What has been called The Matrix is a series of layers. These layers compose what we call Reality. Reality is not merely the consensus people accept in their daily lives. It is also a personal and individual conception of limits. It is a perception that these limits are somehow built into existence. But this is not true.
What I’ve done here is remove the lid on those perceived limits. This isn’t an intellectual undertaking. It’s a way to open up space and step on to a new road, with new power.

This was a timely article. Last week and the week before, MeTV played Star Treks “Menagerie” 2 part episode where Capt. Christopher Pike is severely physically damaged and life sucks as a result. So Spock takes him back to a planet where beings can make us see, hear, or feel anything the aliens want them to see or experience. It was interesting. Roddenberry loves exploring concepts like this and they are often a topic you bring up, too.
For me the fascination is in the battle for how much reality we allow in, and how much we might reject, in favor of a fantasy world. Its interesting because both my parents and my brother sort of lived in an imaginary false world. I think a lot of people do this. Most do it. CIA Mind Control exploits these 2 forces to effect compartmentalized programming in the mind. The mind has the power to over-ride reality and there is a point where it is far more dangerous that helpful.
When reality is too much to handle, the mind dissociates and retreats to somewhere else. Anywhere else, when being tortured.
As a rule, we need to be responsive to reality that is all around us. Its not pretty, but if it is to be fixed and remedied, we have to pay attention to it. We have to force feed it down our throats. The sub-conscious (sub-c from hereon in) is an interesting component of who we are and how we are organized in the mind.
The sub-c is a helper and protector. It controls many things that simply sustain our lives, the processes that we are almost never aware of, digestion, breather, pulse, etc. The sub-c also controls the macro processors as I can them. It can deduce nearly anything, if that is what we ask of it. We just have to give it a little time. Maybe hours, maybe days, maybe it will be an ongoing thing for a while, even years if one is ambitious in what they want to learn.
But the sub-c is also a friend, maybe too much of a friend, at times. Friends often do not want to hurt other friends. They often will not tell a friend what they might need to hear or what they might not be aware of. The sub-c is like that. If we are scared by something, the sub-c will keep us blissfully unaware of what scares us. It can hid anything from us, even important stuff we need, but don’t want. It will only let us see what we want to see, unless instructed by the conscious to do other wise.
This is why I say we need to look inward or speak inward. We need to realize how important it is to know the situation as it truly is and not just what we want it to be. If we can appreciate that and make it quite clear to the sub-c that we want the truth, no matter who scary or uncomfortable it might be, the sub-c, with its vast powers of processing, the same ones that taught us a language without any instruction, will go to work to make us aware of things and answer things and bring us to a higher level of what we seek.
This willingness to explore the scary and the dangerous is known to us as courage. Courage is really the most important thing we can possess. The sub-c knows when we really want something or are just lying to ourselves. The sub-c will only comply with that which is sincerely conveyed to it. It does not get fooled by its master’s lies. It know when the conscious lies.
Courage dares us to look inside and then search outside, too. Courage is EVERYTHING. That is the solution to the Matrix quicksand.
