Part One

While other folk were watching the (fairly) newly-released fourth Matrix film, I was taking another look at the original Matrix movie, from over twenty years ago. This one, at least, is well worth watching a number of times, and it contains plenty that remains relevant to what is going on in the world today. In fact, the predictive nature of aspects of the film is jaw-dropping. 

I'm not much of a movie person. In typical fashion, I viewed the film over a number of evenings, forty minutes a go. In that way, whatever is worth absorbing may be digested properly.

There is one revealing section which particularly grabbed me. At one point, Matrix clone Agent Smith is torturing Morpheus, attempting to wring information out of him. Specifically, he wants the access code to the City of Zion, the only remaining abode of real humans. As matrix clone, Agent Smith is dedicated to furtherance of the Matrix, which is essentially a computer-generated simulation of real human existence (which has all but disappeared, been wiped out). 

With Morpheus almost bled dry of life, Agent Smith makes a startling revelation. He hates the Matrix; can't stand the  place. He dreams of escape, or at least leaving. This is why he is so desperate to gain access to the City of Zion. Once he destroys this place, authentic humanity will be gone. His job will be over, and he will be free to leave the place.

The staunchest defender of the Matrix hates it. It smells rotten, and  he knows it. Even true believers in the Matrix know deep down - far deeper down than they will ever consciously admit - that it stinks, it's crap, it's rotten to the core.

This basic instinct is overridden by the programme. But truth is truth, reality is reality, and truth will out. At this very moment in time, end of February 2022, when the Matrix is doing its level best to assert itself yet more fundamentally, to thicken its hold on humanity with it masks, its injections, its restrictions and ludicrous mandates, this is worth bearing in mind. Schwab, Gates, Trudeau, Macron, Whitty, Sturgeon, and the rest - on one level they all hate it; and they hate themselves.  

 

Part Two

The value of understanding is exaggerated. How many times do we hear the thinly-veiled desperate refrain: 'I don't understand.' Even more so nowadays, since the pathogen fraud has descended upon the world of humans. You don't understand because you can't understand. At least within the parameters normally identified with the word you can't. The situation is not intended to be understood in this way.

The word 'understand' is vague, ambiguous, and 'understood' differently by almost everybody. My former Buddhist teacher used to talk about 'rectification of terms'. You need to define what you mean by a term, and how others should interpret it, before using a word or phrase. This all made for a rather dull, head-banging approach, but I think he was correct. This goes especially for words like 'mind', 'consciousness', 'soul', 'spirit'. And those such as 'understand', 'know', 'perceive', related to the functions of the mind - another word that needs defining before being used.

The easy-come, easy-go way that these terms are employed in 'spiritual' circles leads to heaps of confusion and misunderstanding. I am pretty bad myself. I use words like 'mind' and 'consciousness' without giving a clue to anyone what I am actually going on about.

So, for me, the word 'understand' brings forth a sense of the intellectual and of rationality. Cerebral activity. Working things out, the brain getting hot. It is associated with 'thought' and 'thinking'. It is through thought that understanding comes to be.

Around twelve years ago I started to come across people who talked about 'knowing'. This was distinct from 'understanding', I gathered. 'I just know' would be their answer if questioned about the origin of an opinion or an attitude. Or, emphatically 'I just know.' At the time I found such pronouncements rather arrogant and superior; dangerous, even, as if voiced from a cultish mentality that was impervious to rational thought and investigation. Now I know what that 'knowing' is, and recognise it as an often more reliable way to experience the world than 'understanding'. To know is a function of direct experience, which does not need to pass through the distorting lens of thought before becoming reality. It is closer to gnosis.

It's all there in basic Jung, 'psychological types'. There are four types, based upon four different functions of the human mind: thinking, feeling, sensation, and intuition. While all of us may possess a dominant function, the aim in genuine Jungian psychology is to bring them all into play in a co-operative way, to achieve wholeness and harmony within oneself.

In western cultures over the past two hundred years, say, the thinking faculty has been raised to superiority over all others. 'Reason', 'thinking', 'understanding' are the hallmark of the civilised person. The other faculties are for the ignorant. So goes the story of western civilisation; one of its many lies, as it turns out.

The raising of thinking along with denigration of other functions is a deliberate move. The effect is to cut people off from their natural, healthy instinct as to what is right and wrong, good and bad. They acknowledge a tiny slice of the great pie of life and take it as all there is worth living for. People have been corralled in a little thought bubble, where they can be mercilessly deceived and exploited.

You see, most people, while venerating 'reason' and its programmed corollaries in 'modern science' are actually rubbish at thinking and science. They are perpetually bombarded with nefarious lies and half-truths in the guise of 'rational thought', 'science' and 'statistics' and believe any nonsense that comes their way if it is presented in this fashion. Climate change, the pathogen fraud: they are presented to  people in terms of 'statistics'. In reality, 'statistics' is a fluid world where, if you know what to do, you can present any point of view using figures.

Because people worship statistics, they will believe anything if it is given to them in this way. Data can be twisted and turned any way you want. A classic current example is the notion that 'it's non-vaxxinated who are filling up the hospitals'. The Daily Expose does a good job in deconstructing the lies propagated in statistical ways.

Additionally, wed to the dodgy groom of thinking, and as already stated, a human mind is separated from its natural instinct as to what is true; cut off from Higher Self, higher consciousness, where gnosis resides. They flounder around helplessly in the sea of notions, ideas, beliefs, and trashy thinking, drowning in the delusion that they know what is going on. Take the thinking function as your only guide and you will surely perish. Honour the other aspects of yourself if you want a chance to be free.

 

Part Three: Enemy 

One or two people said they liked the recent 'quotations' blog. Maybe it was a relief to hear from somebody other than me. Anyhow, here are a few more on related themes.

Morpheus, from the original Matrix film again:  

'The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system, and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.'

'We have survived by hiding from them, by running from them. But they are the gatekeepers. They are guarding all the doors; they are holding all the keys which means that sooner or later, someone is going to have to fight them.'

'Sentient programmes. They can move in and out of any software still hardwired to their system. That means that anyone we haven't unplugged is potentially an agent.'

'I've seen an Agent punch through a concrete wall. Men have emptied entire clips at them and hit nothing but air. Yet their strength and their speed are still based in a world that is built on rules. Because of that, they will never be as strong or as fast as you can be.' 

Plus a few quotes from the eminently quotable Chogyam Trungpa, one of the more interesting Tibetan Buddhists to hit the western world. First up, can we reconcile this one with what Morpheus says?:

'Are the great spiritual teachers really advocating that we fight evil because we are on the side of light, the side of peace? Are they telling us to fight against that other, 'undesirable' side, the bad and the black? That is a big question. If there is wisdom in the sacred teachings, there should not be any war. As long as a person is involved with warfare, trying to defend or attack, then his action is not sacred; it is mundane, dualistic, a battlefield situation.'

Actually, we can..... And more talk on being a warrior:

'The essence of warriorship, or the essence of human bravery, is refusing to give up on anyone or anything.'

'Real fearlessness is the product of tenderness...... You are willing to open up, without resistance or shyness, and face the world. You are willing to share your heart with others.'

And a great summary of the nature of reality:

'The bad news is you're falling through the air, nothing to hang onto, no parachute. The good news is, there's no ground.'
