'All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream'
- Edgar Allan Poe

We start with: ENERGY.

In a movie called The Matrix, what appears to be a world exactly the same as ours is simply energy - in almost indecipherable code form - as opposed to ‘solid’ reality.

But because that energy manifests itself in apparently physical form, its existence is largely denied. In fact, almost nobody in The Matrix movie knows the world is an energetic construct as opposed to a physical one.

A select few human beings can see the world is energy, yet they do not understand how it works. How can they crack the code, when at face value it looks like a random series of 0s and 1s?

One person can.

When lead character Neo* chooses to live his life fearlessly, he finds he has unwittingly decoded the matrix! He has learned the secret, he ‘sees’ everything and is able to do whatever he wants at will. At the end of the movie Neo steps out into the world (the one he thought was dull and uninspiring) and realises it is a very special place. A land of opportunity awaits him in his new, awakened state.

Had Neo been living in a dreamworld without realising it? This must have been the case in order for him to awaken.

And how did he crack the code?

He opened his eyes. He believed.

What difference is there between Neo's world and our own? What we call 'reality', the physical world we think is real, is simply a form of energy. It is not solid - although it appears to be - so it must be an illusion.

Our world is a holographic projection of our minds.

All that appears external is internal, existing nowhere except inside our own minds.

You are energy and you live inside an energy matrix, just like Neo. Can you awaken too and decode the matrix? Perhaps not yet!

Our movies never reveal ‘the whole truth and nothing but the truth.’ We have to find that out for ourselves. But many contain important messages which help us unlock the mysteries of life.

Shall we continue?
