People who donâ€™t fit in to the system created by the robots, who needed to rebel, could do so. They just unknowingly activated a subroutine that made them think they broke free and were waging a big war on the system. It would be a bit of a safety valve in the system.

This is exactly the question I have been wrestling with for a while now: is this what we’re doing? Did we just happen upon a subroutine that gives us a feeling of importance, but is really only a safety valve in the system?

Youâ€™ve read Brave New World, yes?

Actually, I have not, stupidly enough!

This reminds me of some thoughts I had about the Matrix trillogy. I thought a possibility by the end of the second movie that wasn’t fully explored was this: what is the “reality” Neo escaped to was really just another layer of the Matrix? It made perfect sense. People who don’t fit in to the system created by the robots, who needed to rebel, could do so. They just unknowingly activated a subroutine that made them think they broke free and were waging a big war on the system. It would be a bit of a safety valve in the system.

I was expecting something like that, actually, after the end of the second movie where Neo used some of his “Matrix power” against the robots in the real world. I thought that maybe he went so far beyond, he even detected the second layer and was going to break out of that, too. I think the story would have been a lot cooler.

Wow, you so totally described my philosophy there, it’s uncanny. In the realm of the infinite, I have a means of circumventing this inevitable boredom, however. Say we could have anything we desired at any moment. No restrictions. Obviously this would get very old very fast. However, if we had a particular desire and then thrust ourselves into the realm of limitation…..choosing to fulfill this desire whilst in a temporary state of amnesia, than we would side-step the boredom that comes from realizing you CAN have anything you want immediately (because we are part of Source, and thus connected to everything and everyone, etc.). We would rejoice in the experience of having what we desired by forgetting that it is we who engineered the manifestation of whatever we desired in the first place. Than, when we got bored with having it…we could “awaken” from our amnesia (sorta like an alarm would ring within ourselves and activate our higher consciousness once we’re done fully experiencing whatever it is we returned to expericne)…and then go back to the realm of the infinite and do it all over.

Perhaps that’s exactly what we’re doing here, right now. Only our temporary state of amnesia doesn’t seem temporary from our earthly perspective at all, and the desire we wished to experience was merely to experience desires.
