Escaping The "Religious Matrix"

Andy and Larry The Wachowski brothers (Andy and Larry) were born to a Polish-American family in Chicago and they set imaginations soaring with their Matrix trilogy! The brothers admit to a love for telling multipart stories saying, "Because we grew up on comic books and the Tolkien trilogy, one of the things we're interested in is bringing serial fiction to cinema," (Larry explains). Andy puts his desire to shake up viewers a bit more bluntly: "We think movies are fairly boring and predictable. We want to screw with audiences' expectations. Have they ever! 

Along with the epoch and religious climate that we humanoids find ourselves in one can't help but wonder how deep this rabbit hole of religion goes and what one might do to escape the religious matrix.

There is no going back! A writer commented to me on Wednesday, "You know this. You’ve come from a church background. What made you give up on such a simple truth?"  (alias William Wallace). The assumption here is of course that WW knows the truth and I don't. He may. He may not. He may have some of, but no one has ALL.

One of the more renowned scholars of our time (Werner Heisenberg) wrote, "In the history of human thinking the most fruitful developments frequently take place at those points where two different lines of thought meet. And, if they actually meet and interact, new hope and interesting developments may follow." It's in that spirit that I am in the process of escaping the religious matrix of my past. I must admit though that like in the movie, I tend to jump in and out of both worlds; however, I am now aware that there's more than I once "believed".

And I live in a spiritual community that's exploring it all.

Fritjof Capra opened our minds with his 35 year old classic, “The Tao of Physics" (Exploring the parallels of modern physics and Eastern mysticism). Recently, it's been Amit Goswami who has married science with spirit that pulled me deeper into true reality. I am a member of the Christian community, a follow of the historical Jesus which does not mean that I belong to an exclusive club that disavows all others that don't BELIEVE as I do. How can I since I am ONE with ALL?

"From the unreal lead me to the real.
 From darkness lead me to light!
 From death lead me to immortality!"  (Brihad-aranyaka Upanishad)

Love is way. Unconditional love is our consciousness because Consciousness IS LOVE and LIGHT: torsion waves is what more and more scientists call it. Merkaba wings do we ride say the Kabbalists. We are ONE says Jesus. There is no separation when one sheds the blinders of the religious matrix. Behold, Consciousness-Spirit-Father-God-Prana-Chi (whatever names we give to the ONE) is doing a NEW THING (Is. 43:19). The night, the darkness is nearly spent, and LIGHT is on the way (Acts 13:12).
