The Matrix isn’t really “original” per se. It was largely based upon the Ghost in the Shell series. Still, one of my favorite movies that is predicting the future.

I’m aware. If you read the article, it’ll make more sense. 🤙

The Wachowskis also wrote V for Vendetta. In that movie, Evey Hammond's father is said to have said that "artists use lies to tell the truth" which was metareferential to what the Wachowskis were doing with these most well known works of theirs. Your article has a lot of perceptive observations in it but there's even more veiled references to truth baked into The Matrix than you offer. The "Holy Trinity" is not reserved to Christianity: it is a perennial concept that is core to advancement to what you would call "heaven" or "hell". The ticket to either of those places involves the reunion of "the Divine Feminine" with "the Divine Masculine". Each tradition has some expression(s) of this. In the Christian tradition, the DM is captured in the masculinity element of "God the FATHER" and the DF is represented by the Holy Spirit. In Taoism, it is Yang and Yin. In Egypt, there is Osiris and Isis as well as ka and ba. In Hinduism it is Shiva and Shakti. In Haiti it is Damballa and Ayida Weddo. In Greece, it is Chi and Rho. It's even in the Cinderella story. The DM is repped by Prince Charming and the DF is repped by Cinderella, or Rhodopis as the original story was called. The Wachowskis betrayed very early in the first movie that they also understood the significance of theta neural oscillations as they pertain to the enlightenment process. The scene where Neo wakes up at his computer, then attends to the predicted knock at the door contains conversation that is tied together by theta neural oscillations. The boundary state of consciousness between sleeping and waking life is a state of theta neural oscillations. Likewise, mescaline trips induce theta neural oscillations around the 5th and 6th hours. Theta neural oscillations are key to multiple altered states of consciousness including past life memory access, Placebo effect style healing modalities like Qigong and Reiki, and, as Itzhak Bentov's research showed (before he was unalived in American Airlines Flight 191), to the activation of the very serpent that Christ mentioned in Matthew 10:16: the kundalini serpent. It is that serpent that is the Divine Feminine within each of our spirit bodies. Enlightenment is activation of dormant higher chakras. Enlightenment is what is being displayed with historical Christian depictions of halos. When higher dormant chakras are activated, that serpent, the Divine Feminine, rises up to the height of the highest chakra being activated.

Alan Moore actually wrote it and specifically that quote and he hated that film, however he's is a bit of a curmudgeon 😂. But then that is Alan Moore for you, a guy who also worships the snake god Glycon and writes his books in the pub like Tolkien. Doesnt mean the the Wachowskis dont agree with that quote, however some of the bits they added like the pretend British dish 'eggy in a basket' he really hates those bits 😁

Yeah…I realized after I posted this that they didn’t write it but they did elevate the work to prominence and put a signature touch on it. I’m gonna have to look into this Glycon snake god…never heard of that before and it seems like it should be on my radar. 🙏

Yeah. Hes a very down to earth person he says the snake god thing for a bit of joke I think but I think you know what he is talking about. Hes written loads of great books like Watchmen, V for Vendetta, Batman KIlling Joke too. Both him and and Grant Morrison are rather esoteric for comic book writers.

I'm seeing veiled parallels to the Orphic egg which makes sense. Apparently the progenitor of this notion revealed Glycon to the public by slicing open a goose's egg. I'm also seeing a veiled connection to the notion that the snake, the Divine Feminine, when reunited with the Divine Masculine, produces a Divine Child or enlightened being. Apparently the cult focused on "fertility" with barren women seeking Glycon's blessings for childbirth. It was, comparatively speaking, a flash in the pan, but it counts as yet another tradition that is consistent with the perennialist perspective.

what about Matrix 4? 👀

I think I finally watched that at some point within the last year or two. I only watched it the one time. I can see why it received negative reviews. I remember it was a mixture of lots of references to the original movie(s) but with a twist. As far as esoteric symbolism goes, I'm thinking that the original Matrix is the big kahuna. I thing it performed really well and then the artists/writers were asked for more. I think art created by artists because they were inspired tends to be of higher quality than art created by artists because someone demanded/commissioned it and that was the case with the step down in quality from 1 to 2 and 3. I'd have to re watch 4. I could imagine that it is better than 2 or 3 but I don't think I would be willing to say it was better than 1. The original was a masterpiece.

as a fan of the original trilogy i watched the 4th with zero expectations and was mildly surprised with the "twist", they clearly didn't try to make "more of the same" which is what i think most critics fail to appreciate.. i mean it even has some bizarre comedy elements which was fun.. and the story was intelligently placed as a sequel imo.. ofc nothing deep compared to the originals, and i dont know much about symbolism, i guess i'll need to rewatch all of it after this thread

You’re definitely on to something. I don’t think it’s scripted but I’m fairly certain We are living in a “managed reality” —In what way the mechanism works, I have no idea. Too many things don’t make sense to believe otherwise. 🧡👊🏻🍻

Ever noticed how By being positive and confident that something will work, makes it work?

Sulfur, salt, and mercury, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, Cardinal, fixed, and mutable, Thesis, antithesis, and synthesis I'm sure you could name a few more, but indeed, the Trinity is not one anyone's got a monopoly on.

Ya. It was pretty fascinating to get into this and go down this hole. I’m sure I’m not the first or second.

Just saw this and THIS is exactly what I mean. Not sure who he’s quoting but YES 🧡👊🏻🍻

This is 100% accurate

True things simply said.
