Exiting the Matrix and Resurrecting a Unified World
Be like Neo and dodge those black pills
There is one concept for understanding the times we live in that every self respecting conspiracy theorist — particularly one with an arguably unhealthy interest in esoteric, occult law — is aware of: we are in the midst of a great “separation”.
I believe the technical conspirituality term for this separation is “3D to 5D”, which may be in reference to shifts in densities, dimensions, consciousness and/or even timelines. I have heard various explanations for why we skip 4D, but the best one would be that it refers to the astral plane inhabited only by spirits — so we can’t and almost certainly wouldn’t want to stop there anyway.
Those familiar with the Bible or other spiritual traditions might call this “The Harvest”: where those who are “ripe for the picking” in a spiritually sense are collected from the Earth and taken to a better place.
“The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest” (Matthew 9:36–38)
The Harvest could be interpreted as a fairly divisive (and elitist) spiritual principle, especially when certain denominations have taken ownership of the rights to harvest. Some might even call it inherently contradictory: as soon as you assume that you are one of the spiritually advanced ready to be harvested, you automatically disqualify yourself from that status.
Whatever your spiritual beliefs, one thing seems to be coming clear based on simple observation of the world: humanity is at a crossroads. The path we are on right now feels entirely unsustainable, both collectively and individually. Like many of us, i’m doing my best to steer us in the direction I believe we need to go, but at some point… well, there’s no point shovelling water out of a sinking Titanic, is there?
We aren’t there yet, but there appear to be some warning signs. At least a few of the people in charge of the voyage appear asleep at the wheel — or, slightly more concerningly, appear to be deliberately steering us towards that iceberg.
This is what the landscape looks like to me, through my tin-foil-tinted glasses. We have two very clear choices laid out before us: to stay as we are, hurtling headlong downhill towards some dystopian transhumanist future; or to veer off suddenly and make a break for that less trodden, less travelled, unmistakably uphill (at least to begin with) route that returns us to nature, tradition and community.
It will surprise no-one to learn that I believe the Jibby Jab is the most obvious signpost that directs towards either of these two futures at the present moment. Other’s might see the main choice we are facing as relating to our attitudes towards the environment, towards indigenous culture, towards gender, towards a particular model of spirituality.
I would suggest the choice goes far deeper than any single branching point — it fundamentally relates to the extent that each individual feels compelled to activate their powers of Free Will; to veer off the inviting downhill bitumen slope and summon the energy necessary for climbing that greener hill.
The idea that a single, fundamental choice rests at the heart of our reality has been communicated most potently and effectively in The Matrix movies: do you take the blue pill and remain in your programmed life, continuing on as you were; or do you take the red pill and exit that version of reality forever, with the all the inner upheaval and turmoil that will inevitably result?
Again, some people will attach specific metaphorical meaning to the choice between each pill: an escape from binary gender, an escape from organised religion for example. But that may again be missing the broader picture; escape from any social construct that no longer fits your perception of self inevitably requires the radical use of free will.
From an occult perspective — that there is a greater hidden mystery lying under all those meanings presented to us on the surface — The Matrix has been argued to represent a grand spiritual allegory for the elite program of mind control that we find ourselves in. The “Machine” that we are all plugged in to keeps us locked in this program, as a way of harvesting (that word again) energy off us to feed upon — a parasitic vampire that must find sustenance elsewhere once it has turned away from the Divine Source. The first movie of the trilogy revealed the nature of this matrix, the second explained why we are stuck in the matrix, and the final instalment communicated what it takes to break free.
Well, the latest Matrix movie — Matrix Resurrections — takes that concept and digs a little deeper from occult angle. Neo (Thomas Anderson) escapes the Matrix (again), but this time without Trinity — and he feels compelled to go back and rescue her. This concerns, to me, the central message of the film: no-one gets left behind.
Neo is asked at one point: what if Trinity is happy where she is? Here is another of the complex themes at play; if we consider ourselves to be in Neo’s position, then what is our obligation to get someone out of the matrix if they are happy there? To what extent do you respect their free will?
Given we can’t truly know (people aren’t typically very good at asking for help) should our default position not then be hope: that they are capable of escaping, and want to escape, but are just stuck without a way to get out?
By the end of the movie (spoiler alert) Neo’s faith is more than justified. Trinity, since revived from her Matrix self, realises that she, too, can be The One. And so can we all! That is: we all have the power to start re-shaping and decoding the Matrix. And this is what we will have to do, to get the ones out who are really stuck.
The main spoiler here is the final scene, where both Neo and Trinity face off against the chief matrix programmer dude played by Neil Patrick Harris. Why bother going back in, he asks them? They are happy with what I have provided for them. They are comfortable and safe and secure.
But of course, this is the programmer saying this. His words are the program — nothing more, nothing less. He wants those who play his game to believe that they have no power, that they must simply obey the rules that they know to be unjust, that they can be comfortable in the face of tyranny. But once removed from the program, or if the program can be changed, so too will this false inevitability — and this is what Neo and Trinity must do.
There is, born from this ending, a very powerful idea that lies at the heart of the movie, and one that will trigger a lot of people in our current climate of normalised division: no one is truly a part of the matrix. There are no ‘non-playing characters’. No one needs to be left behind.
Every living being on this Earth is connected, we all come from the same source, and this makes the inevitability of separation a satanic idea. To think otherwise is simply a program of the Matrix — a virus, you might say, that specifically targets the ego — and a program that we have the power to change. And must change.
Listen to my extended thoughts on the hidden spiritual meaning of the Matrix movies here, including ideas for how we can apply the meanings behind these movies to our practical efforts to change the world for the better.
There have been few concepts in recent memory that have hit home to me so hard, and challenged my own ego. Clearly I was stuck in the 3D versus 5D thing more than I realised. Oh great: have I fallen for another psy-op?
Now, the idea that some great splitting of society is about to occur, between the spiritually enlightened and the spiritually deprived, could well be real: one of the core operating principles encoded into our true simulated reality, and a necessary spiritual compromise in a world that permits absolute free will.
But it also smells a bit fishy. For a proper conspiracy theorist, there are no coincidences… or, at the very least, seeing something as a coincidence is the final option once all other possibilities are off the table.
It is the fact that this spiritual worldview plays right into the plans and hands of those seeking to divide us that leaves me highly suspicious. If you were seeking to perpetually divide and control humanity, this is exactly the kind of concept you would perpetually seep out into the public psychology — even to the extent that we come to accept it as fact.
And that’s the reason i’m deciding to say no: I won’t put energy towards that future reality. I acknowledge it’s possibility, even its probability to some extent, but that’s where it ends. To resign ourselves to that inevitability is exactly what the dividers want.
It’s time to hack the simulation and its production of black pills, and resurrect a vision of a unified world.
