I just had a moment while on the plane and contemplated how the Matrix/ illusion tries to keep us busy: experiencing and loooking for pleasure and getting entangled in its traps, or keeping us paying attention to the pain and trying to escape it. One way or another, we’re kept busy in a lower level of vibration, which is not easy to break free from.
I had a visual representation of the illusion as being like a clown, trying to maintain one’s attention focused on its mumbo-jumbos, and monkey business, through making one laugh or sad or always in the state of paying attention and investing that energy in the distraction as to always be slaves of our senses and the fictitious story they’re telling us.
Of course, to some extent, we have to find the balance of either going to the extreme of abandoning life as it is since we came to have this experience, neither becoming captured by the theatrics nor taking the dream for fully fledged reality.
The illusion has a powerful grip on the souls because of their voluntary (or maybe not so voluntary) confinement into the physical body, which compared to the limitlessness of the soul is reduced and compressed to something similar to the plane we live in, the world as we know, would compress itself into a tiny particle. Although I feel that on a Reality level, the quantum level, these things are possible, and they’re not limiting or restricting either the potency or the conscious aspect of the “big” element squeezed into a very minute one.
But the world we’re in has a specific programming that forces the particles to behave in a certain way and crystallize in the form of their programming. In reality, whatever we experience is very far from the true Reality, and I get more and more the concept of the universe we experience as being a mental construct and not at all physical as stated in hermetic writings and other scriptures.
We, being in the bodies, are bound to a certain degree to the program running in the background, although our full limitless potential is latent within, waiting for the veil of ignorance to be lifted by the right judgment or the lack of it (disregarding the thinking mechanism – which is one of the guardians of the mental projection) and for us to reinstate ourselves as possible co-creators. In other words, we’re living in someone else’s fantasy world and because we believe in the subtantiality of the world, we empower it with our conscious potency. So the world is truly a collective dream constructed by someone outside of it for fun, and I don’t mean the Ultimate Existence, although everything and everyone is part of That. But I mean that souls have evolved into realizing their true power and potential and enjoy creating different worlds and existences for their entertainment and further expansion.
Just imagine that you allow your mind to fantasize freely, and you see yourself as a king or some other type of powerful being, and you populate that fantasy of yours with beings of your own imagination; there’s no limit to what you can project and create. Your ideas become strokes of a paintbrush on a blank canvas.
This is exactly what we’re facing; we’re just characters in someone’s dream following our designated paths until the dissolution of the physical form, like NPCs (nonplayer characters) in a game that fulfill certain roles yet unaware of their ephemeral existence of being part of the movie.
When we awake we slowly slowly get back to being a more conscious being which starts growing out of the programming and realizes the power of creation that he /she had at their disposal at any point in time. From that moment on, life starts to be more coherent although it doesn’t mean that the ebbing and flowing that are inherent in this creation are going to stop. Not at all, but by employing awareness we have the chance to avoid the tsunami of the emotions which were eternally dragging us back to the box/ jail , now we can make a conscious decision and raise ourselves into a state where we can still feel the existence, yet we can decide how deep we allow ourselves to be touched by it.
Another observation when we pull ourselves out of the movie is that we can perceive people who are still drowning in it, unaware of the programming, like we can see children and their mischievous attitudes, in the right way, even though they may have an idea of being smart and cunning and that nobody figures them out.
When observing a person who is still fully lost in the emotional fantasy, we can easily perceive aspects of their character or points of distortion, much more if we have observed those aspects in ourselves and either transmuted and transformed them or keep them in check.
So there’s no superpower, as we all are super-powerful (omnipotent) in our own creations, but we are limited because we accept someone else’s fantasy as our physical world and we empower and enforce it with our ignorance, and those very laws and dictates that keep us bound to it.
I want to re-emphasise that abandoning the world is just another trap, as it is being fully absorbed ignorantly into it. The secret is always in the ballance between these two, like some wise people in the past used to say: immerse yourself fully into the illusion but with the awareness of its fallacy, and aware of your immense power of altering and changing certain programming.
