Enter the Matrix

in #life7 years ago

Let me explain my perspective about the word MATRIX. Google defines the word as “the cultural, social, or political environment in which something develops”. My attempt with this blog post is to explain how the Matrix has unraveled itself in the current society. Going with Google’s meaning, I can understand that there is a political, social and cultural environment in place since times immemorial. So what is the emphasis of the word Matrix? It represents the entire setup of how a society is built. So now who are the ones who uses a word like this? What was the need for this word to exist? It is quite interesting, thought provoking and scary if we go into a deeper understanding of this, which I am about to reveal in this blog.

The Roots of Matrix.
After I watched the movie 'The Matrix', which i did several times, I understood that the Matrix was like a controlled environment setup by a form of highly intelligent lifeform, which people couldn't get out of. The ones who got out of it were trying to destroy the Matrix. The movie, which was entertaining on one hand, had a very powerful message to the society if they would have understood it with relevance to the events of the current society. Let me now try to make you understand about it's relevance and the message.

Matrix and Reality
To understand the existence of the Matrix in the real society, people should observe on how the political systems, corporate, healthcare, financial and even how religious systems are being operated. An aware mind would easily come to know about the commonalities in these different structures of systems. These commonalities gives rise to the existence of Matrix-like-environment. Some examples of these commonalities includes the existence of a 'boss' like entity, hierarchical arrangements, lack of transparency, army of workforce who works under the will of boss.

This list of commonalities would grow as we observe and compare these different systems of organizations. These commonalities which comprises the Matrix or the 'Core Control System' however, was not evolutionary, meaning that the early humans had free will, which is the most primal quality that can be found in all living beings. This was established and was made to work this way by a certain powerful group of people with only one purpose - DESTROY FREE WILL. People who acknowledged this system, fueled it further so much, that these generations are irreversibly part of this system. It has now reached a point where the Matrix is self evolving, creating more and more complicated technological, social, political, economic and cultural structures which are just methods of bringing people to a more controlled system.

Is the existence of this Matrix good or bad ?

I would want the readers to understand that the answer to this question lies in the path which you choose for yourselves to progress in future. It's the question of taking blue pill or the red pill. The answers to this question are individualistic, and would want the readers to comment their opinions on this so that more awareness will be created.

Just a small video to put things into perspective
