Matrix, messiah and reboot — How it works
These are just my thoughts. I'm not going to convince anyone of anything. Just think for yourself.
This post will be useful for those who watched the film The Matrix. The idea that I want to present is well disclosed there.
The more I think, the deeper the rabbit hole.
In the film The Matrix, the main character Neo is represented in the image of the messiah. In the image of Jesus, who must come and save everyone that religion teaches. But Neo, regardless of the choice, reboot the matrix, as Jesus once rebooted the matrix.
I connected the fall of powerful states with the reboot of the matrix. Egypt, Rome. All these states were powerful but they all fell. The matrix rebooted.
The task of the messiah is to reload the matrix, because people are not ready to become free. Religion teaches us to believe in the messiah, in the savior, but does not teach to wake up, and this is a dope of religion. Religion intoxicates and confuses. Religion does not teach people to wake up, instills infantilism in people and shifts all responsibility to the messiah.
Believe in the messiah and you will be saved through faith in him. But you will not be saved until you wake up and until you yourself want NOT to be a slave.
Jesus comes and does not save people from Roman slavery and should not. If he destroys all the slaveholders in the person of the Romans and leaves people “free,” he will not save them from slavery. Slaves will remain slaves because they are used to being slaves and do not want to do anything for themselves. Therefore, he performs the task of the messiah - restarts the matrix.
History repeats itself. And the messiah will switch the toggle until people wake up. Would people want to wake up?
And finally, an interesting fact: in the first part of the matrix, at the eighteenth minute of the film, Agent Smith looks at Neo's passport. On the passport is written the date of its end. September 11, 2001. And the film was shot in 1999. Perhaps this is the reboot date.
But... Think for yourself.
The most important topic of our time, IMO...
You might enjoy this:
I'll be doing a video soon responding to Kenny's (Kitchen) idealism on the issue of property ownership and why it's misguided in our times...Freedom in our times and civilization on this earth has to involve a small piece of private property as a birthright. I won't flesh this out here but I'll link the video once I get to it.
Stay well...
Matrix is a film espousing Nietzche's philosophy, which is antithetical to Christian "slave morality" - as Nietzche dismissed it. Neo is not the anointed one, but the Uebermensch, unbound by the peasant Christian moral dualism, but who writes "new laws onto new tablets." The protagonists in the Matrix is not interested in saving anyone; their only goal is to destroy the Matrix, even if such endeavor will kill most of the drones connected to the system. Only those worthy enough for the new world order will survive, the chose few of Nierzche's disciples, while the rest are expendable. Early in the film, Morpheus instructs Neo that all those connected to the Matrix, ie the so-called 99%, are potential hostiles.
The Uebermench is beyond good and evil, and, as his final act displays, ends the Matrix (the social, cultural, and moral system) unilaterally. Neo is not a "liberator," but the one who sits at the top of the pyramid. How will the muck navigate their environment, when all social, cultural, and moral references have been erased? They will follow the will of the Uebermensch. The tenets of the film Matrix is closer to the tenets of NSDAP, albeit without the racial overtones.
In the post-Matrix universe, only the will to power determine values. The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must. The "slave morality" of Christianity, in which the victim is given prominence, the meek inherit the Kingdom, the poor are extolled, etc. are washed away, "like tears in rain." The Christian revolution gave voice to the muck - ie the 99% - at the expense of their betters. The world ushered in by Neo is a universe of pre-Christian moral norms, where crushing the weak beneath the boots of Imperial legions is a Kantian moral imperitive.
Frankly, I've yet to come across another online character who encapsulates the personality profiles of the archons of the demiurge in such an accurate manner. But I do agree that both Christianity and Islam failed to understand who and what the Christ was...As did Judaism but from the Christian Gnostic perspective that would have been predictable...
