In the movie the question is: What is the matrix? Reality? Identity?
How do we know what is real and true? When Neo first discovers ‘the matrix’ he discovers that he has been living in a dream world. Dreams can be very vivid at times and seem very real. How do we know we have only been dreaming? We wake up. If life is a dream, can we wake up whilst we are in the middle of the dream?
Technology today can give us virtual experiences, but are they real? Things can seem so real and yet not be. Science has come up with many theories to explain the world, and every now and then a new discovery questions a previously held model. Today we have: quantum physics, subatomic energy, waves of probability, the hologram to seeing how the consciousness of the experimenter determines the outcome of the experiment (consciousness creates or can affect creation).
How do we free ourselves from the matrix (illusion)? To free ourselves is to challenge our comfort zones and to come to know ourselves. This is an interesting journey- and its biggest challenge is with our own created identities (ego). You have to know that this is a matrix – to know that there is a problem (sorrow and pain are signs)- and to believe in ‘the self’. Then you can begin to change things, to create the world you would like to live in – its foundation being based on the truth of you.
What are the two most important things in life? Love & family and freedom, this comes with a deep understanding of what life is all about – that there is a logic to it all.
