Thank you Jen, I see that, but my present circumstances preclude me from doing such great charitable deeds as these men have achieved over decades...I'm sure they are all within me, a creation, because they describe the very things I would like to have done with my life. Instead of philosophising, these guys actually lived and worked at making the world a better place. I suppose they epitomise the type of human I would consider to be 'A1', and have renewed my faith in the human spirit.
Hi Jazz - funny, I don't see Predators or Beings in charge of the Matrix; I see it more as a force which, when you try to shrink from it, it pulls you back!!!
When you realised and remembered about It, did your life change? Mine did, big-time. Up until then, I had been a love'n'lighter, all peace and mung beans. At that time, my life had considerably improved because my inner world became enlightened. Then I started to investigate the dark forces, which were frightening, but always was the remembering/knowing that I was eternal and infinite. The next stage, however, is what I would call the final stage in this reality: the knowing none of this is real. (No, the final stage is when my body actually believes it! When I can thrust my arm into the wall, LOL without the need for a plastercast!)
Since this awakening, I have created very little of substance in my life; it's all pretty static and peaceful, apart from the odd glitch. I think that's because my desires have shut down. I long for peace, freedom and tranquility for myself AND all beings here, and I know I will never witness that, although sometimes I feel the world is changing dramatically and love is driving it, from so many one-to-one interractions, charitable institutions, contemporary thinkers in governments, people becoming more self empowered and caring, nations at least wanting to live in peace, etc.
I do not want to witness any more grief or sickness on this planet, and that goes for humans, animals and flora!
Above all, I can't check out yet because I have people rely on me. So, what I know I need to do is master the RULES of the Matrix: become a driver rather than being driven, create the things I want; not react to the things that happen. Although I have a great affinity with the future, as if my life here is obsolete, I tend to think I've had to live THIS life in order to remember where I really am. Possibly, this is the only reason I am here and the single most important thing I've ever learned or remembered.
I hear from many people that the matrix is breaking down or as you say, the way for us is about to dawn, but how do you truly know this? Perhaps our mass quantum thought is making this happen?

It susses out an individual's weakest area and attacks it through manipulation, fear, deception - any means it can to debase the soul and enforce control.
Whatever it touches upon it corrupts and debases spiritually. Sex is a case in point. It always amuses me that so many 'enlightened' people believe that these crass predator beings are from a higher spiritual dimension than we. But this is what one must cope with.>>>
This is such a good description!!! I suppose one of the keys to unlock ourselves from the effects of the Matrix is to own and take responsibility for all our experience; in other words, heal the weaknesses in our own subconscious so that we become inpenetrable fortresses! I presume the Matrix is like the Bogie Man; all shadow and no teeth....you only get bitten when you feel it's possible to get bitten?!
You have a Predator identity, Jazzpen? I suppose anybody who consumes has, to some extent. It's so important when we learn the lesson of Allowance....to allow, permit, enable, others to be free of our judgement or will. Within the matrix, there is no doubt that what we give out, we get back. So to be free we have to allow freedom for others, I know that one.
I can only be free from the clutches of the Matrix when I have rid myself of the programmes, the triggers, when my cage can't be rattled, until IT can no longer squeeze me into a corner, of poverty or lack or ill health or negativity!
Looking around, we can see how the Matrix encourages reaction and participation: through anger, despair, outrage, sadness. When we detach and see it for what it IS, it's easier to refuse to play.
A great friend of mine, who contributes to this forum, helped me to see this so clearly today, and for that, I thank her!
Freedom to all,
Divinity
