The virtual reality established in the Matrix films is manufactured by a computer, and the individuals who live in it are unaware that they are living in a computer-made world.
It is possible to make a remarkable discovery if you put in the effort and pay attention to the reality of your regular existence. as a result of the striking similarities between our everyday life and the virtual environment depicted in movies.
It is possible that our virtual world is not created by a machine, but rather by our own mind, with its continually flowing thoughts and feelings. As a result, we are imprisoned within the matrix of our own thoughts and feelings. Now let’s look at the characteristics of this matrix and how to get rid of them.
1. The World of Constant Change is the first step.
We are on the prowl for our aspirations and unfulfilled dreams. We are drawn to money, power, and prestige, as well as a healthy and happy lifestyle. All of this is covered behind the massive iron gate that stands tall in front of us. It is difficult to see what is behind the gate. We strive to achieve a variety of objectives throughout our lives, driven by our ambitions. We have a constant desire for something, and we are continually striving to obtain that something. The fear that we are still far from being what we aspire to be is the source of this restless rushing around. No matter how much we achieve, we are never satisfied; we constantly want more. We would like to be better, more beautiful, and richer than we are right now.
That is how we pursue our objectives until death, when we come to realize how pointless the entire endeavor has become. But why are these objectives pointless? we wonder, and we begin to resist instantly. Protests are sparked by the varying nature of the forms and shapes, which are indicative of the fact that in their universe, every form and shape is subject to constant change, birth, and death. Whatever it is that we attract to us, we will eventually lose since everyone leaves this world empty-handed and all those who seek their aspirations are caught in the grip of the past and the future.
2. The Spiritual Seeking is the second step.
On the other hand, we seek to discover the security of long-term stability in our lives. We are interested in discovering what lies beyond the realm of perpetual change. In order to accomplish this, we must first become spiritual seekers.
Our spiritual journey begins with the search for enlightenment and self-recognition in the world of shapes and forms (i.e., outside of ourselves), with the intention of eventually arriving at the condition of permanent happiness. In search of a dogma, a great master, and an elevating spiritual experience that will allow us to extend our consciousness, we have set out to find them. If it cannot be found on Earth, we will hunt for it in the other world, in the spiritual heaven of a certain faith.
In our spiritual pursuit, we employ the mind as a tool. The mind is the vehicle via which the ego hopes to get an understanding of what exists beyond mind and form. Thus, the mind builds a mental image of enlightenment, the pursuit of happiness, and other idealized states.
The formation of mental images occurs as a result of a comprehensive process in the mind. We also require information in order to comprehend, so we will accumulate bits of knowledge like a swarm of ants in order to comprehend. We are striving to screen knowledge, thoughts, perspectives, and experiences essential for them from books on religion and spirituality, lectures heard, and conversations attended in an effort to help them. The same is true when it comes to spiritual experiences. We believe that if we amass a certain quantity of experience, we will eventually reach a certain point when we will be able to increase our spiritual awareness.
Mental images encourage us to put forth effort in putting the mental images into action at the level of our daily lives in order to make the mental images the cornerstones of our lives. Accomplishing spiritual aims, on the other hand, provides only temporary satisfaction for us. As a result, after achieving one specific goal, we are compelled to return to work in pursuit of new ones. The mind generates new mental images, and the process of seeking begins all over again.
3. The third step This Is Where It All Comes To An End.
We then continue our search until we have grown tired of the process and have come to recognize its true character, at which point we stop.
We come to a complete halt and give up our spiritual pursuit. The realization dawns on us that all of the goals we have sought outside of ourselves can only be found within ourselves.
As soon as we become aware of the thoughts and emotions that are running through our heads, we will come to a complete stop. We come to the realization that we will not be able to overcome the mind with the help of the mind. We shall learn that halting is the inactive moment of the mind, the silence between thoughts. We will feel this for ourselves. As a result of experiencing the consciousness without forms, we will know that we are in fact the Presence without thoughts. We then leave the spiritual seeker in our wake, together with all of his or her gathered knowledge and exalted spiritual experience.
4. The Inner Journey: This is the fourth step.
Here we are at the beginning of an inner trip that will take us out of the matrix and beyond our mental limitations. Our adventure begins when we leave the world behind and throw away all that has stood in our way of progressing forward. We give up things that are insignificant in order to be able to devote our full focus to the things that are vital. That is attainable through the completion of a thorough mental cleaning.
When we begin to clean up our lives in earnest, we will quickly discover that we have a great number of thoughts, views, and ideas, as well as the emotions that go along with them. After a period of time, we recognize that we must give up all of the insignificant and minor things in our lives since these things will be found to be untrue in the light of our inner journey and we must quit them. Then we find ourselves all alone, and we realize that we haven’t completed our task at all. We have not yet been able to cast off the shadow that we imagined to be our own.
5. The next step The Awakening: A Return to One’s Roots.
This is the awakening of consciousness to its own being, which takes place through the form and shape that we had previously associated with ourselves. There is nothing left but vacant space after the massive clean-up operation.
However, upon closer inspection, we discover that the area is brimming with consciousness, which is the state of inner calm, quiet, and tranquility. We then come to the realization that we are at home. Whatever is taking place in that inside space, we must be present to see it. We have to take advantage of whatever life has to offer right then and there in that precise instant. The experience of the preceding instant does not have to be carried over into the following moment. This is a liberating realization.
This raises the question of whether or not we have already gotten rid of the matrix. Despite the fact that the emptiness is wonderful, we still need to take the final step in order to be entirely liberated.
6. The next step is to return.
It is this step that will bring us back to the starting point of our entire journey. We are transported back to the Matrix, to the world of everyday life. The fact that we have endured significant changes during our travels means that our state when we return will be different from the state in which we started out. The mind, the ego, and, along with them, selfishness, were all extinguished from our beings. The void, which is pulsing with life, and consciousness, which has become aware of its own existence, have both remained with us.
As a result, the world will be a completely different place for us as a result of this. We no longer have a strong desire to flee from it, and we are no longer submerged in the muck of identification with the rest of the world. We have now been set free from all of that, and the world has become a new adventure for us to explore. We immerse ourselves in the currents of life, and we become one with the entire universe. We assist others in their awakening while also sharing our joy of being and sympathy with everyone we come into contact with on our spiritual journey.
