I think some clarification is needed.
Escape from the Matrix requires unplugging. To unplug, we must remove our spirit from our earth body.
So we have established that we must remove our spirit from our body, but how exactly do you do that? The only thing that comes to my mind is death. Meditation maybe?
I think meditation doesn't count though. I mean, we're talking about entering another existence completely.
I, like a majority of people, would really like to have answers. The definition of Reality has been sought for a very long time by some of the greatest thinkers of our species, yet nobody can seem to give any clear answers.
If you're telling me there is a way out of this, then I want clear details.
Good topic.

dont get mixed-up with a messianic-complex, unless youre jewish of course (that's a pro-semetic joke for those of you with no sense of humor).
im probably writing on a dead wall as we're all trained from birth to allow sensory perceptions into the spirit, and this purity of experience is manipulated through movies, video games, etc. you all know this, and yet we often choose experiences we know are just sensory stimulations, just self-indulgent wastes of time......

What makes you think that movies are not made by people who have had spiritual experiences, or people who are trying to convey a message?? Additionally, what makes you think that just because it is in the form of a movie that it is void of religious,spiritual, or emotional content? How many movies out there are based off of reality and actual events??? Should we disregard those as self-indulgent wastes of time? How about anything that appears in media for that matter? Since it is all entertainment based, then, by your own logic, nothing is actually representative of reality and that everything, even facts that we have all collectively agreed on is useless. So, if I watch a movie that demonstrates that the sky is blue, in reality, all I'm receiving is a stimulant? A drug??? Some of what you say definitely has merit, but, I will have to disregard your statement as an entire truth as you claim it to be.
I could say the same thing that you said about going to church or watching some evangelist rape the world for revenue. Is it really happening??? Is it just entertainment, a mere stimulant OR a figment of my imagination??? Keep in mind, I'm not attacking you here, but, just because it is in the form of entertainment, does not negate the possibility of a higher message. That sounds entirely to cynical for my tastes.

The Matrix? Oh come on...
All of these different threads by you...I'm still waiting to lose my mind.
Maybe if you were to stop rehashing other people's ideas you may come up with some mind-blowing conclusion of your own...
