Further Down the Rabbit Hole

"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.""Do you want to know what IT is? ... It is all around us, even now in this very room. ... It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth."
"What truth?", "That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage, born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch. A prison for your mind..." The Matrix - 1999
For many, the Matrix movie trilogy was a great special-effects, shoot-em-up, action-packed few hours of enjoyment. Admittingly, it was. But the underlying symbolism or cabalah permeates practically every minute of each movie. Like in the movies though, only a small percentage of people will accept the fact that almost everything that they have ever been taught, is in fact, simply an illusion (simulation / simulacra) to control them.
"And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it."
The pundits, politicians, even fellow "citizens" will become very irate, possibly violent, at the mere questioning of their "authority" or "just how things are". They voluntarily sign-up to fight, and possibly lose their lives, for this real-life matrix. They will kill others who do not agree with their matrix. They will say that their "mission is just", and blindly follow what other men instruct them to do, even if it is in violation of God's commandments to love one another.
Have you taken the "red pill", and begin to think for yourself? Do you look at events around with an unbiased outlook, in search of truth? Or would you rather stick your head in the sand and live by the "ignorance is bliss" theory.
Either conscious of it or not, truth does not change. So you can either be part of the problem or part of the solution.
