The Matrix is a DIFFERENT THING to different people

Very good point, I agree.
I was always very intrigued by why most of people did not
see things that was so clear under their noses… hehehehehehe

Most people only thinks in sex, food and money, may not be exactly in this order

Part of it would be acknowledging that there is no absolute determination, but neither is the determination a purely subjective thing. In other words, it might be relative since your being awake only counts when it's relative to someone who cannot see all that you can see, while at the same time you are still asleep relative to someone who sees and understands more about "all of this" than even yourself.

By neither puffing yourself up and putting others down, nor denying your own power and awareness, you simultaneously remain humble by knowing there are smarter and wiser beings than yourself while at the same time making use of your gifts to help others rise to greater awareness.

As for the whole subjectivity thing, relative means it depends on where you are, subjective means it depends on what you wish it to be. If an interpretation of the Matrix is relative, it would be because the person is at a level experiencing a set of obstacles, deceptions, and manipulations that differ from someone of a different level. If an interpretation of the Matrix is subjective, then it would be because one shapes the concept to fit wishful thinking and soothe insecurities instead of basing it on observation, knowledge, and discernment.

Thanks for bringing this up.  Wasn't even viewing the situation from this perspective. 

I guess maybe there is still a part of me that wants to share my experiences with those my age - although why so closed minded?  Hmmm, or maybe they are showing me a part of myself that is still closed minded when it comes to interactions my own age.  That sounds better.

So it is indeed a learning experience!  Most likely attracting the polar opposite within myself so it can be released.  Most of this build up is most likely from negative high school experiences.  That would explain why I attract my old high school friends that just happen to be all about sex and booze. 

It actually happened again today!  Synchronosity at its finest!    I was outside playing hockey with a bunch of kids when "somehow" a person (that I occasionally hung out with in high school - that wasn't too friendly to me either lol) came by in his car.  Asked me if I was 19 yet, then asked me if I had gone to the bar, of which I replied "No", then proceeded to say that we should go to the bar.

Twice in two days!  And both times I was at home...

Thanks for that question Lemniscate It put the situation in perspective.

Sounds like the universe has your number, and is trying to get hold of you . . .

You're more than welcome to any help I can be. If you ever need your handwriting analyzed . . . I know this has helped many people in the past.

This sounds familiar to me. 
I've tried to make some of my friends open their eyes even a litlle bit, but they always STOP when things get really interessting (according to me of course).

Thats a good suggestion. I found myself going along with some peoples BS talk too much.
Somtimes i "give" people a smile or a grin because if i don't they will feel rejected. I know it sounds stupid but it is.

I wonder if people are really only interessted in this... it seems that way yes, but i think a lot of people are consciously or unconsciously yearning for something else. But they seem very afraid of something "new" or an unfamiliar perspective.

One of the hardest things to do in our society is to remain quiet. It seems that every conversation we're in renders a response of some sort. People tend to get very "uncomfy" if there happens to be a lull in the conversation.

It took me years of practice to be able to resist this "programming". People at first thought I was weird, and maybe even "retarded". But I was led to practice this at the risk of losing my societal reputation, and ego. I had no idea at the time where this was leading . . . only that I should do what I was led to do.

Years later, total strangers come up to me and start a conversation . . . not about everyday life, but about things that they are genuinely interested in. Spiritual matters, self improvement, family squabbles to which they see no end. They feel a draw to me . . . they don't see me as the "everyday guy" from whom they can only solicit small talk.

I think the most powerful thing you could do is to remain silent. Once you are still within yourself, they will seek you out. They will sense this stillness . . . be drawn to it. And will inevitably start with a seemingly innocuous question . . .

Risk looking "silly". Risk being different. For it is that difference which they seek.

Wken you feel that you are talking and no one is listening, you are only seeing the surface of people. Our realization of the matrix is seen as very strange by those who find comfort in the familiar view of reality. Our job is to keep talking to people about this stuff because talking about it puts it in their subconscious. When enough people talk about it, people will begin to get interested it.
Years ago, people thought Tarot readings were a fraud, and only wierd people played with them. Then over time Tarot became accepted by a large number of people. This is not a great example, but you get the idea.
To those who can hear what you are saying, you are planting a seed. It matters not who harvests that seed, It is important for someone to plant it.

So, keep talking and keep learning and keep becoming more aware. Who knows where it will lead?

Hope this helps
