Part 2, What is The Matrix?

Sub-structure

Basically, the mechanical structure of the Matrix is derived from the concept that:

Everything is connected to everything.

This notion is increasingly hailed as a positive marvel. For example, in quantum entanglement, pared particles, even at great distances from each other, both react to an impact on either particle.

“Everything/connected” produces a sensation of Weave&All Inclusiveness.

It’s ultimately designed for long-term rental. The occupant is there, and there he will stay.

Feeling this Oneness is Matrix religion, and it is meant to instill a sense of the sacred. Holy, holy. The mind completes the equation: sacred=forever. It’s a ruse. “Sacred” is no more forever than listening to a Bach concerto is forever. It’s one thing to bathe in a majestic feeling. It’s quite another thing to infer it means eternal occupancy.

There are many people ready to shake your hand and embrace you and welcome you into the labyrinth, the weave, the connection of everything to everything.

People aspire to be wired into the “everything/connected” apparatus as their highest ambition—which is their primary substitute forimagination.

That they don’t realize this doesn’t make it any less true.

“I’m one atom in an infinity of atoms all connected throughout the universe, and this is what I want to feel. This is illumination and enlightenment. This is the grand essence, the final stop on the train ride.”

Well, let me put it to you in this way. Let’s say you’re an actor. You work in a repertory theater that stages 100000000000000000 plays. In each play, you have a role, a different role. You’re “connected” to each one of those roles. BUT YOU’RE AN ACTOR. That means you can inhabit a role and then take it off like a coat. It doesn’t mean you’re forever chained up to every role you play.

However, this distinction is lost on most people.

The idea of everything/connected is quite old. You can find it enunciated in ancient Egypt and China, and traces of it exist in Aristotle. It’s often arranged as a hierarchy. The “great chain of being.”

So are we talking about an architecture of the universe or a notion in the mind?

Both.

Think of everything/connected as a style of building among various possible styles.

And religion is its goal—the inducement of religious awe. That is the stage play.

People join the “everything/connected” church of the universe. They want to be in that congregation singing a song, melting down into butter.

Oh, look. There at the altar is a priest. He’s delivering a sermon. Let’s listen in:

“If you know that everything is connected to everything, could you possibly kill a whale? Of course not.”

Remember two things, though. One, you don’t need to embrace everything-is-everything to know you don’t want to kill a whale.

And two, the priest, as he’s delivering his sermon, is thinking to himself: “If I want to kill a whale, I damn well will.”

You see, when you really unpack the “everything is everything” wow, it’s not as sensational as it first seemed.. Any more than, say, the fact that every national newscast covers the same stories from the same point of view.

“I can’t believe it. ABC just did a piece on the Supreme Court, and now CBS is highlighting it, too. Let’s light a candle and kneel.”

“Everything/connected” is supposed to signal that the universe is conscious, and to boil the argument down, since universe is also so much larger than a human being walking around on a street in a city on planet Earth, he is obligated to defer to universe.

He is programmed from a young age to defer. He learns how politically incorrect it is to reject this church.

Matrix.

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. Lately, I’ve been writing 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.
