Technetronic Enslavement: Life Inside the Matrix of Control

 The march of modern progress has brought forth many advances for humanity, and yet man is lost. Technology, automation, and miniaturisation, along with the micro-processing revolution, allow things to happen that were unimaginable only ten years ago, let alone a century before. These rapid advances have brought with them a number of complex problems, some of which challenge the very notion of progress.

If you define the level of an advanced civilisation by how much freedom its citizens experience in their day to day lives – along with the protection of individual liberties as we have come to expect in the 21^st century – then the march of the mass surveillance state over the last 15 years should be of serious concern. Despite public pleas from our leaders that, ‘if only we pass this next law or security measure’, or ‘if we can just launch one more month of airstrikes’, or ‘if the public will allow just a bit more access to their personal information…’ and so on, the state and its corporate partners have developed a firm grip on power over, and intrusions into, our personal lives that is only increasing.

In the West, a type of cognitive dissonance has already set in regard to this and other related issues – partly due to the sheer dominance of the ‘war on terror’ and national security narratives that overtook society after 11 September 2001. Since then, it seems that every six months or so the narrative is revised; as one perceived threat subsides, another emerges in its place....<<<Read More>>>...

Escaping the Illusion: Who Are We Really and Why Don’t We Remember?

 To awaken we must build a bridge from our current understanding of who we are to an understanding that allows us to remember and review all previous stages of our existence. 

The problem is that such a feat leads us to an impasse, to a chasm. There is a chasm between what we as humanity seem to ‘know’ about our origins and the modalities of the universe we exist in, and what is the true, first-hand knowledge and memory of where we were before showing up in this current lifetime....<<<Read More>>>...

The Observer Effect suggests it's likely we're living in a simulation.

 So I’ve been thinking about the observer effect in quantum mechanics, and the more I look into it, the more it seems like reality isn’t as solid as we think and it almost acts like a simulation.

Basically, in quantum mechanics particles exist in a blurry state of possibilities until they’re observed. The best example is the double-slit experiment:

When we don’t measure which slit a particle goes through, it behaves like a wave, going through both slits at once and creating an interference pattern.

But the moment we observe it, the particle "chooses" a path and acts like a solid object. The interference pattern disappears.

This means that just looking at something on a quantum level changes how it behaves. If reality were truly independent of us, things should exist the same way whether we observe them or not. But instead, the universe seems to "decide" on an outcome only when it’s being watched, kind of like how a video game only renders what’s in front of the player to save processing power.

Reality isn’t “fully loaded” until it’s observed, just like how video games don’t generate unnecessary details in the background. The universe is suspiciously mathematical, almost as if it’s following coded rules. Everything is weirdly fine-tuned, as if someone set the conditions perfectly for life to exist.

It’s Pretty Suspicious!!

If the universe is really just physical matter, why does it act like it’s "waiting" for someone to observe it before making up its mind? That sounds less like a solid reality and more like a computational system responding to input.

I’m not saying we’re definitely in a simulation, but if we were wouldn’t the observer effect be exactly the kind of glitch you’d expect to see? (Link)

Unplugging from the Digital Matrix: Tools to Safeguard Your Privacy and Autonomy

 In the modern world, technology is not just a tool for convenience – it is a powerful force that influences nearly every aspect of our daily lives. From smartphones to smart homes, digital devices have become extensions of ourselves, gathering vast amounts of data along the way. But what is the cost of this convenience? In many ways, our freedom, privacy, and autonomy are quietly being siphoned away.

We now live in a world where every click, swipe, and search is tracked. These digital breadcrumbs are collected, analyzed, and used to shape our decisions, behavior, and even identities. In what can feel like a digital matrix, this constant surveillance and data mining can make us feel controlled rather than free.

But all is not lost. There are steps we can take to unplug from this matrix, to reclaim our privacy, and to safeguard our autonomy in an increasingly digital world. In this article, we’ll explore how digital surveillance affects us and offer practical tools to help you stay outside the control of the digital matrix....<<<Read More>>>...

Are we living in a simulation? Scientist claims we're simply characters in an advanced AI world

If you feel like you're living in a convincing virtual reality akin to The Matrix, a scientist thinks you may well be right.

Melvin Vopson, an associate professor in physics at the University of Portsmouth, claims our entire universe may be an advanced computer simulation.

And the proof that this so-called simulation hypothesis is correct may be hiding in plain sight in the Bible.

Professor Vopson told MailOnline: 'The bible itself tells us that we are in a simulation and it also tells us who is doing it.

'It is done by an AI – an artificial intelligence.'

Professor Vopson points to the Gospel of John, one of the first four books of the New Testament, the second part of the Christian Bible.

Gospel of John opens with the powerful statement: 'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.'

The professor says this verse has 'deep theological significance in Christian doctrine', but it also carries 'intriguing implications' when considered in the context of the universe as a simulation.

He argues that 'the Word' in this famous sentence refers to the underlying computer code that governs and controls the simulation.

As anyone who has seen The Matrix will know, any computer simulation, big or small, consists of letters and numbers that write the rules for the entire creation....<<<Read More>>>...

How the Ego Forms the Matrix We Seek to Escape

In a world where the quest for freedom often leads us to explore new philosophies, spiritual practices, and even technologies, we find ourselves in a paradox: the very thing we seek to escape is within us. The matrix we’re so desperate to transcend is not some external, oppressive system but the limited ego self we’ve constructed. Through the lens of self-realization and self-inquiry, we can begin to understand that this egoic matrix is the illusionary world that binds us, and our true liberation lies in seeing through it.

The concept of the matrix often conjures images of a simulated reality controlled by external forces, yet the real matrix is much closer to home. It’s the ego—the collection of thoughts, beliefs, and identities that we mistake for our true self. This egoic self is the lens through which we perceive the world, filtering reality through our fears, desires, and conditioning. It creates a false sense of separation, making us believe that we are individual entities navigating an external world, disconnected from the wholeness of existence.

The ego is adept at crafting stories, projecting them outwardly as reality. It convinces us that our thoughts are real, our identities fixed, and our separation from others and the universe inevitable. But what if the world we see merely reflects this internal matrix? What if the true journey is not about escaping an external force but dissolving the internal structures that keep us bound?...<<<Read More>>>...

Unmasking the Matrix: How to Break Free from Invisible Chains of Society

Many of us feel an underlying sense of unease in modern society’s labyrinth. Despite technological advancements and material abundance, there’s a pervasive feeling that something crucial is missing. We live in a world where the invisible chains of societal expectations, consumerism, and covert control mechanisms bind us, keeping us from realizing our true potential. It’s time to unmask the matrix and break free from these invisible chains, reclaiming our sovereignty and forging a path toward authentic freedom and fulfillment.

At first glance, the modern world offers an array of choices and opportunities. We can travel across the globe, access vast amounts of information instantly, and enjoy unprecedented comfort and convenience. However, beneath this veneer of freedom lies a sophisticated system of control designed to keep us distracted, dependent, and disconnected from our true selves.

The matrix thrives on our compliance, subtly shaping our beliefs and behaviors through a combination of media manipulation, societal norms, and economic pressures. We’re conditioned to follow a predefined path: go to school, get a job, buy a house, and consume endlessly. This cycle perpetuates a state of constant striving, keeping us too preoccupied to question the deeper meaning of our existence....<<<Read More>>>...

What Are You Feeding Your Mind?

 [Wake Up World]: Your mind is like a garden. Flowers won’t bloom if you feed it mental poison. What are you feeding your mind?

All sensory input we receive affects us, from major to minor ways. Everything from the music we listen to, to the clothes we wear, to the food we eat, it all affects us in more profound ways than we sometimes realize.

This is because everything has its own vibrational energy structure. If you are interacting with, engaging with, or exposed to something, you can bet it is affecting you either positively or negatively. You can also say that it is also either strengthening or weakening your energy field. Remember the basic principle of Reality: everything affects everything.

Mainstream consciousness, which goes along with whatever the latest popular music, movies, sayings, food, and digital content is, is not the only one that is feeding its mind mental poison. So-called alternative culture, in all its forms (especially the “truth” movement) will repeatedly feed its mind with dark, depraved, and dense content, all in the name of “researching” and “uncovering” the truth. While going down the rabbit hole and learning about how you are in a control matrix designed to manipulate people and use your energy for nefarious purposes is part of the awakening process, there is a point where you can come back up to the surface and get some sunlight....<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...

The Human Merkabah: How Reality Creates in Spiral Dynamics

 This is a fascinating read.. It's thought provoking and gets you think outside of the matrix box we are taught from school to be in ....

 +++++++++++

It’s high time an understanding of the Human Merkabah and how it creates reality begins to ripple through human consciousness. The lower self becomes a chalice for the higher faculties to cascade in, but then how we co-create with the divine becomes the fascinating part. The Universe manifests from spiral dynamics and so too does the Merkabah.

What does this mean in a practical sense?

The perception by the ego is that time is linear and we create that way – one thing, one event or circumstance follows on from the other in a linear progression: you get up, have a shower, eat breakfast and head out to work. You finish at the office at the end of the day, drive home and take some leisure. There are timed appointments and schedules throughout the day. The perception is that everything creates in a linear fashion. But this is only because the ego is caught in a trap – the matrix.

Firstly, we can accurately say there is only one moment of now; that linear time is an illusion. How can this be? ...<<<Read More>>>.....

Exiting The Matrix Created By Our Bias

 Another election cycle in the United States is coming around and I’m already seeing political battles, hyperbolic comments, and black & white thinking dominate the discourse.

In some countries, it feels like chunks of society go mildly insane during election cycles. People protect their candidate of choice, pretending as if they can do no wrong while all others can do nothing right.

News outlets, especially those captured by corporations and governments, join the fun and confuse the masses with their own brand of corporate bias.

As bias becomes overwhelming, echo chambers become the environment of choice for those seeking refuge. After all, it can be more comfortable to not be challenged.

The end result? A confused, divided and polarized masses where many live in a reality or bubble shaped by bias and echo chambers, not even realizing there are other completely valid perspectives out there.

The good news is, as the discomfort with this insanity rises and the cycle continues to show a lack of meaningful progress, an openness to a solution becomes more apparent. In this case, the solution is to become more conscious.

Conscious of what exactly? Our bias, its sources, and what we can do about it. Although I won’t get into this too much in this piece, overcoming the grips of bias is not just a cognitive process, but one built upon physical embodiment and spiritual curiosity....<<<Read More>>>...

Perception of reality depends on our experience

 One of the most popular philosophical theories says that the reality around us is an illusion. Most often, they refer to Buddhism and other Eastern teachings, but similar views are present in other philosophical traditions. How likely is it that the world around us is not real?

Take Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. This ancient Greek thinker believed that all the objects around us are just shadows (ideas) of forms. This is how he describes our false perception of the world.

In the allegory “The Cave”, Plato describes a group of people who have lived chained to the wall of a cave all their lives, facing a blank wall.

The people watch shadows projected on the wall from objects passing in front of a fire behind them and give names to these shadows. The shadows are the prisoners’ reality, but are not accurate representations of the real world.

The shadows represent the fragment of reality that we can normally perceive through our senses, while the objects under the sun represent the true forms of objects that we can only perceive through reason.

According to Plato, the objects of experience are imperfect imitations of forms. Let’s say that a mathematical triangle in abstraction looks perfect, but in fact there are no perfect triangles in nature.

Therefore, those triangles that we deal with in the so-called real world are only imperfect reflections of the ideal form. And the same with other things. Even what we perceive as beauty is just a reflection of true beauty....<<<Read More>>>...

Quantum Physicists Suggest Objective Reality May Not Exist

 We all assume that there is an objective reality out there, independent of our perception and observation. But what if that assumption is wrong? What if reality is actually created by our interactions with it?

This is the radical idea that some physicists are exploring, based on the findings of quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics is the branch of physics that deals with the smallest particles and forces in nature.

It reveals a bizarre world where particles can exist in superpositions of two or more states at once, until they are measured and collapse into one definite state. It also shows that particles can be entangled, meaning that their states are linked even when they are far apart, and that measuring one affects the other instantaneously.

These phenomena defy our common sense and challenge our notions of reality. They suggest that reality is not fixed and objective, but rather dependent on how we observe it. Some physicists have even proposed that reality does not exist until it is observed, and that observation creates reality....<<<Read More>>>...

Be the Glitch You Want to See in the Matrix

 Usually, a glitch is a problem, a bug, or a hiccup in the proper order of things. But what happens when you are living in a profoundly sick society? What happens when the “order of things” is unhealthy? What happens when the machinery of culture is outdated and found wanting? More importantly, what happens when you rebel against it?

The answer: you become a healthy glitch. Moreso, you become a necessary glitch, a vital glitch that could transform the unhealthy culture into a healthier one.

Here are a few next-level strategies for becoming a necessary glitch in the unnecessary Matrix…

The trickster is a double-edged sword. He cuts himself even as he cuts the world. He cuts his own ego first, but, knowing that he is the world and the world is him, he also cuts the world. He battles against Certainty to keep Curiosity at the forefront of the human condition.

Your inner trickster understands that the cure for certainty is curiosity. The cure for hardened belief is flexible thought. The cure for seriousness is playfulness. And so, he plays with the outdated constructs of the sick culture that surrounds him like a kid plays with toys. He wrecks them against each other, and thereby reveals their inherent corruption.

Tapping your inner trickster will give you the courage you will need to go beyond good and evil, beyond outdated notions of “truth,” and beyond cultural modes of rightdoing and wrongdoing. It will propel you into playful, non-serious, and honest detachment. It will teach you to fly into updated improvisation while the rest of the world is crawling through outdated tradition...<<<Read More>>>....

The Metaverse Is Big Brother in Disguise: Freedom Meted Out by Technological Tyrants

 Twenty-some years after the Wachowskis’ iconic film, The Matrix, introduced us to a futuristic world in which humans exist in a computer-simulated non-reality powered by authoritarian machines—a world where the choice between existing in a denial-ridden virtual dream-state or facing up to the harsh, difficult realities of life comes down to a blue pill or a red pill—we stand at the precipice of a technologically-dominated matrix of our own making.

We are living the prequel to The Matrix with each passing day, falling further under the spell of technologically-driven virtual communities, virtual realities and virtual conveniences managed by artificially intelligent machines that are on a fast track to replacing human beings and eventually dominating every aspect of our lives.

In The Matrix, computer programmer Thomas Anderson a.k.a. hacker Neo is wakened from a virtual slumber by Morpheus, a freedom fighter seeking to liberate humanity from a lifelong hibernation state imposed by hyper-advanced artificial intelligence machines that rely on humans as an organic power source. With their minds plugged into a perfectly crafted virtual reality, few humans ever realize they are living in an artificial dream world.

Neo is given a choice: to take the red pill, wake up and join the resistance, or take the blue pill, remain asleep and serve as fodder for the powers-that-be.

Most people opt for the blue pill.

In our case, the blue pill—a one-way ticket to a life sentence in an electronic concentration camp—has been honey-coated to hide the bitter aftertaste, sold to us in the name of expediency and delivered by way of blazingly fast Internet, cell phone signals that never drop a call, thermostats that keep us at the perfect temperature without our having to raise a finger, and entertainment that can be simultaneously streamed to our TVs, tablets and cell phones.

Yet we are not merely in thrall with these technologies that were intended to make our lives easier. We have become enslaved by them.

Look around you. Everywhere you turn, people are so addicted to their internet-connected screen devices—smart phones, tablets, computers, televisions—that they can go for hours at a time submerged in a virtual world where human interaction is filtered through the medium of technology.

This is not freedom. This is not even progress.

This is technological tyranny and iron-fisted control delivered by way of the surveillance state, corporate giants such as Google and Facebook, and government spy agencies such as the National Security Agency.

So consumed are we with availing ourselves of all the latest technologies that we have spared barely a thought for the ramifications of our heedless, headlong stumble towards a world in which our abject reliance on internet-connected gadgets and gizmos is grooming us for a future in which freedom is an illusion.

Yet it’s not just freedom that hangs in the balance. Humanity itself is on the line....<<<Read More>>>...

Have You Spiritually Outgrown the Matrix Yet?

[Wake Up World]: Information is only valuable if it can be used to advance your life in some meaningful way. If it doesn’t serve that purpose, then it is just a distraction from living.

And the crux of the matrix is distraction.

When you’re distracted from creating and living a meaningful and positive life, the matrix wins. When you’ve no time to give to imagining what this life might look like or feel like if you were in control, the matrix wins.

It’s not that the matrix is a top-down conspiracy led by a round table of cigar smoking suits. It’s really a system of compliance, complacency and comfort. In other words, we all contribute to it in our own way. With our own free will, we all put bricks in this wall, because it’s what everyone else is doing, and we feel like it’s what we should also be doing.

This is the whole paradigm of consumer living, celebrity culture, the endless drama of political spectacle, and the endless desire to stand out in the herd. Think of the social media corral and what a waste of energy all that is.

If you’re paying attention to your life, though, you eventually see through this.

All of the conspiracy theories, bad news, world events, suppressed history, and collective speculation at some point must be recognized as necessary stepping-stones on your way to total awakening.

Their purpose in your soul journey is to jolt you out of contemporary consciousness and get you looking at the reality of your life, the brevity of it, and the pressing need to move on with being yourself in spite of any and all forces that wish to conquer and control your spirit.

It’s a process of outgrowing the matrix, and if you’re really paying attention you’ll instinctively know when it’s time to jump ship and move beyond these narratives and false realities. Your intuition will tell you when you’ve had enough and when it’s time to move on....<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>....

The Real World And The Narrative World

[Waking Times]: We each inhabit two very different worlds simultaneously: the real world, and the narrative world.

The real world is the physical world of matter, of atoms and molecules and stars and planets and animals wandering around trying to bite and copulate with each other. Science does not yet understand much of this world, but it can reasonably be said to have some degree of existence to it.

The narrative world is made of stories, of mental chatter about what’s going on. It is only related to the real world in the loosest of terms, and commonly has no relation to the real world whatsoever.

In the narrative world you exist as a person with a certain name and a certain life story with a mountain of adjectives attached to you, some believed consciously and some believed subconsciously. You are this, you are that. You are inadequate. You are inferior. You are clever. You are fat. You are unlovable. Whatever. Words, words, words, words, words.

In the real world what you think of as “you” exists as an organism, breathing and digesting and pulsing and moving in the appearance of time. No thoughts or words need to occur for this organism to exist; it just is whatever it is.

In the narrative world, your surroundings are experienced as friends and foes, good and bad, right and wrong, threatening and non-threatening. Churning, babbling stories about what’s happening pervade the experience of the narrative world: those people over there are bad people and should be punished. Those people over there are the good people and they should be rewarded. That man is blah blah blah. That woman is this and that.

In the real world, your surroundings are experienced as raw sensory data: sensory impressions arising in each point in spacetime. Breath going in, breath going out. The feeling of feet on the ground. Sound of a bird call. Sight of a passing car. It’s all just happening as it is, as whatever it is. Simple. Present....<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...

Exit From The Matrix: The Stage-play of Self and The Global Mystery

[David Icke]: Consider that everything happening on planet Earth is an enormous stage play.

The mystery is: what is the theme? What is the payoff? What is the climax?

And even more deeply, what is the role of Self, the individual, in this play?

The key phrase is “in this play.” Because most people are, indeed, inside the play. They have roles. They may not be aware of the parts they’re playing, but that doesn’t change the situation or the dilemma.

How unusual would it be if, in a theater, in a city, citizens were led on to a stage to audition for parts—and the director said, “Well, we want you in this production, but we can’t show you the script. We can’t tell you your role. You’ll just have to feel your way along. Trust us, we know what we’re doing. And by the way, you’ll be playing your part for the rest of your life…”

Self doesn’t want this arrangement. Self wants something else, a way to see what the play is, a way to climb out of it.

Where to start? How to begin? What is the exit strategy?

That strategy depends on imagination. It can’t go anywhere without it.

The long-running Earth stage-play has severe limits. It tries to impose its energy-depleting plot-lines on Self.

But with imagination, a person can conceive of a new play, and create it, and centrally participate in it.

In fact, Self has been waiting for just such an opportunity. The cells of his body and brain, his thoughts, his energies have been waiting.

However, waiting doesn’t do it.

Connecting with one’s own imagination does do it. It initiates a cascade of ideas and emotions, which in turn feed back into imagination, making it even more powerful.

A new stage-play can come into being....<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...

Power Outside The Matrix: Inventing New Reality

[David Icke]: There are two major effects of overall mind control.

The first is the distracting and confusing of thought processes.

This is defeated and kept at bay by logic, a discipline employed by Plato 2400 years ago and refined by his student, Aristotle.

Today, logic needs to be expanded and updated to deal with the flood of information and misinformation we encounter every day.

The second overall effect of mind control is the repression of the individual’s creative impulse. Creation and imagination are, of course, the energies that bring about the invention of new realities.

All forms of mind control target the individual so that he passively accepts the reality presented to him.

Taken together, logic and imagination are the most formidable force in the liberation of the individual—his consciousness and his action.

That liberation should be the goal of any sane teaching.

It is the goal of my collection, Power Outside The Matrix.

Expanding one’s own power involves the conscious projection of new realities.

Previously, the notion of “projection” has been the property of the pseudoscience called psychology. The concept has been twisted to mean the blind projection of one’s own “negative images and feelings” on to other people.

Beyond this blip on the radar of human existence, there emerges a far greater kind of projection: conscious and imaginative invention of new futures. That is where liberated individual power travels and operates and works...<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...
