Have you ever seen the movie, "The Matrix"? There's a critical scene in the movie where Morpheus offers Neo the choice of taking the blue pill, and remain in a state of trance-like ignorance, or taking the red pill, and wake up to reality and deal with life in an empowered way. Morpheus goes on to tell him..."Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?Neo : The Matrix.Morpheus : Do you want to know what it is?Neo : Yes.Morpheus : The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.Neo : What truth?Morpheus : That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage. Into a prison that you cannot taste or see or touch. A prison for your mind."Our world is like the Matrix, only this one is created by your subconscious beliefs instead of an artificial intelligence that uses humanity for it's own purpose.And isn't that what your resistive, unhealthy subconscious does? Decide what's best for you and punish you when you step out of line? Distract, chastise, sabotage your efforts to free yourself from your conditioning.
