The matrix. It signifies seeing beyond the invisible prison walls of our reality, and recognising and questioning its existence is one of the first signs of awakening — of truly waking up.
At first, the beginning of our transition and re-calibration to higher frequencies beyond the construct of the matrix is a blissful, beautiful experience. Being connected to the multiverse, to the cosmic love energy, is life-changing. We begin to understand the energies behind love and gratitude, the power our thoughts have in manifesting our realities, and how non-attachment and sovereignty can improve our experience of the present.
Yet, this path of transcendence, of awakening and ascension, can be threatened by where we wake up. If we were to wake up on a nice floaty planet of higher-order living, no harm, no fear, no anger and hate — well that would be kinda cool! We could do our quantum make-over, our butterfly-emerging-from-the-chrysalis thing, and be at one with a harmonised existence. But it is not so here on Earth…
Planet Earth circa the 21st century is a pretty scary place to wake up in. The matrix, this third dimensional reality, is a planet under siege — a panopticon prison, holding a people who have been separated and oppressed for thousands of years. Anytime in the last two thousand years, waking up here would have been hard, as much of humanity’s existence in each individual life-cycle has been driven by the basic need to survive. This leaves little time for peace, quiet reflection, meditation and existentialist thinking. Add to this the cosmic celestial waves of quantum energy transitioning a whole planet to higher dimensions at once, the Age of Aquarius, and we’ve got a whole heap of drama going on!
The human experience of reality in the early 21st century is known as the matrix, maybe a computer program, a holographic universe, the third dimension. As Morpheus says in The Matrix film, ‘Everything you see around you is the matrix’. The keyword here is see. We see with the eyes, not the soul, our third eye, our heart, or our energetic frequencies — we are programmed to discount these senses.
The matrix strips us back, disconnecting us from our spiritual whole self. The matrix aims to control us, to manipulate our thoughts, feelings, and existence. It wants us to be drones: to work 8 hours, sleep 8 hours and play (i.e. buy/spend) for 8 hours. An elitist control system, it is a pyramidal power structure propagated through economics, religion, politics and war. It is hardwired with traps, pitfalls, and ways to capture us and lock us down if we question it too loudly. Our education system is designed as a capitalist sausage meat factory, producing Brave New World ‘hatchlings’, and the system micromanages us, particularly in the west with our nanny state, CCTV, drones and bureaucracy. Intensive religious, cultural and economic programming means we struggle to be our authentic selves. We are given our matrix avatar at birth, our life experience dictated by where we are born, and what jobs must be filled. In this reality, 1984’s grim vision of a controlled future is not far from where we find ourselves.
