The OP is correct. You are all living in a matrix, most of which you have created yourselves, or allowed others to create for you.
Christians live in their own matrix, as do Muslims, and Athiests. All different. They all have instructions on how to destroy it: Jesus, Mohammad,
Science...
Libertarians and Democrats live in their own similar matrix.
Everyone lives in their own matrix, an artificial mental construct that creates bias, produces judgement, and harbors prejudice. The matrix is your
belief system.
Jesus:
"You must be as a small child, to enter heaven"
"Heaven is all around, only people do not see it."
They do not see it because they don't wish to enter heaven, they wish to stay in their matrix. They do not wish to be as a small child who is not
bound yet by their matrix. They can not drop their belief system and destroy their matrix by "[making] the two one, and when you make the inside like
the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and female one and the same, so that the male
not be male nor the female; and when you fashion eyes in place of an eye, and a hand in place of a hand, and a foot in place of a foot, and a likeness
in place of a likeness; then you will enter the kingdom."
Buddhism: "Kill the self, forget everything that you have learned"
Diamond cutter Sutra:
"What do you think, Subhuti," Buddha asked, "does a one who has entered the stream which flows to enlightenment, say 'I have entered the
stream'?"
"No, Buddha", Subhuti replied. "For he has won no dharma and therefore he is called one who has entered the stream. No objects of sight or hearing
have been won, no smells or tastes, no objects of touch nor even objects of mind. Thus he is called one who has entered the stream. If the thought
'the fruit of entering the stream has been attained by me' occurred to such a one, then he would be seizing upon a self, or personality, a soul or a
concept of being."
Jeet Kune Do: "The perfect way (Tao) is only difficult for those who pick and choose. Do not like, do not dislike; all will then be clear. Make a
hairbreadth difference and heaven and earth are set apart; if you want te truth to stand clear before you, never be for or against. The struggle
between "for" and "against" is the mind's worst disease"
We can see how to destroy this matrix, it is right in front of us. Most are too scared to do it - they are attached to material - to ego - to
tradition - to concepts...
Different matrices are not compatible with one another and so they split people apart. Only the differences stand out. This creates hatred, prejudice,
difference, etc..
Don't be afraid to destroy your 'self' (your matrix). It is one of the hardest things that you will ever have to deal with - the destruction of
your self. The self and ego try to convince you not to commit this mental suicide, but if you can do it, you will be free - and anything will
be possible.
The only comptible matrices are those that can be emptied and rebuilt time and time again. This is an on-going process.
Your mind can be completely static, or completely dynamic. It is up to you, and it will be the hardest choice in your life.
