Warning!
You chose the red pill! Be ready to read less pleasant things for you. If you didn’t intend to do so, please return to the blue pill!
For the one who sees the truth is no way to return. You will be in a permanent search until you reach it. But the way of truth is not an easy way, it involves a titanic work for spirit and intellect. But as I said, once you take a look beyond the curtain of illusion, you can not lie to you anymore that the illusion is a reality. Although you have not yet come to the truth, you are condemned to seek it until you find it.
You feel chained by illusion, and the effort to break the chains and free yourself is enormous. But even stories, legends and myths are telling us that to reach the Princess or the Golden Fleece, the hero went through many trials, sometimes very difficult. This is the way of knowing. And by this, I am not referring to the accumulation of knowledge, but to know through self-experimentation and understanding.
When you choose the red pill (see Matrix), you choose to exit the system, the illusion. From this moment on, you can not accept the system with everything it means: beliefs, traditions, education, identities. All of this dissolves, and you perceive them only as limitations. And you notice that you as a human being are essentially above these limitations. For example, you will be above any belief system because through experience you will know and consequently do not need to believe something, you just know it.
And the traditions, what are they? They are customs that keep you in the comfort zone, safe, preventing you from trying, from experiencing something new. Everything is cyclic, repetitive, automatic. You cannot imagine that it might be different. This way you are running in circles believing that you are heading for a destination.
What about education? In the ordinary
What value can that bring in becoming a HUMAN? ZERO! And around us we have the proof; 95% of people are leaving in fear, dissatisfaction, frustration in physical or mental illness. Schools should stimulate creativity, critical sense should help the children with developing their own ideas and the ability to support, motivate and put them in practice. In reality, schools produce servants for the system.
Today’s school = system.
Maybe you ask what the system is? It is that entity that needs people that are conformable, predictable, lacking criticism and impregnated with fear to sustain themselves. This entity is not something abstract, it is also formed also of people or persons who look at us as to an experiment and who are feeding themselves from human suffering and stupidity. Certainly, those that control the system are laughing to death seeing hundreds or thousands of people pushing themselves or behaving like animals in supermarkets when some kitchen stuff or TV-Sets are on sale. Would it not be right for these controllers to say, “They are acting like slaves! Aren’t they deserve being exploited? They are free, but they like to be slaves! So be it!”.
The system does not care about you at all. It just throws you a bait. Are you biting? Then you had bad luck!
Returning to Matrix, when I first saw the movie, I was horrified thinking of such a possibility; to live the illusion that you are free, being just a battery! The years have passed, and we have realised that this movie allegorically presents us the fact that we are slaves, but also that we have a choice in our hands; red pill, or blue pill!
I chose the red pill … and I saw the world behind the illusion. I know that those who have not made such a choice cannot understand what I am saying and maybe are condemning me too. The truth cuts in living flesh and is therefore avoided most of the time.
I do not know if I can compare me with Neo, the main character from Matrix, (Neo – new, Eon – Eternity, One – One, what an interesting choice of name!) but I have got in his slippers, and now I have no choice but to continue this way – to become a co-creator of Reality.
Maybe you will say: what a two-pronged philosophy! I can agree with you. It depends on perspective, from yours you are perfectly right. But in this case, you surely have chosen the wrong pill, the right pill for you should be the blue one!
You can know something through direct experience;
otherwise it is just an act of faith!
