Written by Mathew Naismith
As of anything I write about, it's
advisable not to take it as fact or fiction as there is usually very little
black and white mentality involved in my writings/thinking. This means I often
bring forth the middle ground, an awareness between black an white perceptions.
The matrix to me is the condition of a black and white mentality, this means
our conscious awareness has to be limited to one and/or the other, there is no
middle ground within the matrix.
So what is this matrix?
Matrix: - (mathematics) a rectangular array
of quantities or expressions set out by rows and columns; treated as a single
element and manipulated according to rules.
- An enclosure within which something
originates or develops.
When we invasion a straight sided border
around a human being, we usually get a rectangular shape thus a rectangular
array of quantities or expressions is evident. These quantities or expressions
are also often treated as singular groups, for example, male or female, young
or old, poor or rich, atheist or religious, black or white and so on and so on
it goes.
Within this matrix, these rectangular
quantities or expressions are limited to these set values, this is due
to the fact that once we define ourselves as a singular element, we become
easier to manipulate. It's this manipulation that sets values to singular
elements.
Elements is interesting here because the
word element defines a certain quantum, a quantum that is separated by manipulation,
basically, the deliberate action of separating one element from another thus
creating singular elements. Have you ever heard of the saying divide and
conquer, well the matrix itself is all conducive to actions like this. It's
simular to the perception of how time separates one moment from another, within
this perception, we create finite consciousness, a consciousness that is
usually only aware of everything being separated. This in turn creates a black
and white mentality, a mentality that can only perceive in finite
consciousness.
To me, the second definition of the word
matrix should really go like this," An enclosure within which something
originates or develops from. The reason for this is you
can't create finite consciousness outside of this enclosure of the matrix, this
is due to everything that is outside this enclosure, is of infinite consciousness, it has no limitations. The matrix itself exists primarily due to
infinite consciousness, a consciousness that is limited through being divided
or separated from everything else. We have limitations because we have a
perception of division, everything is treated as a single element either
singularly or in groups of singular elements.
The matrix is an enclosure of a
consciousness that has limitations due to finite perceptions, meaning,
everything has a starting and ending point and is singular to others elements.
The matrix is a consciousness of division therefore limitations, however, believe
it or not, this consciousness is a natural occurrence, we are existing in a
natural consciousness of division. As finite consciousness is natural, so is
infinite consciousness, just because one existence of a type of consciousness
is divided, doesn't mean it's an unnatural occurrence. It's wise not to divide
one consciousness or existence as being natural and the other unnatural, this
kind of thinking is of a black and white mentality which is of the matrix
itself. We have indeed been conditioned to think through and from divisions/separation.
I actually find the matrix itself quite
amazing, what it created within itself, within it's limitations, is
extraordinary. If we can create so much within such a limited consciousness,
how much would we create in a consciousness that isn't limited? To me, the
matrix is an awakening to our unlimited self, a self that is not limited
consciously, a consciousness defined and influenced by infinite possibilities.
Within the natural course of the matrix
becoming more and more limiting, we are awakening to our unlimited potential, our
infinite self that isn't divided. What I am saying is it's natural for a
matrix, like this, to develop further into a limiting consciousness for us to
awaken to our truer being. We are in actuality becoming less trapped within
this rectangle, the matrix itself, the more limiting the matrix becomes. Basically,
the more naturally destructive this matrix becomes, the more we become aware of
its' destructive potential. In effect, the matrix's own limitations are going
to be the end of the matrix's illusions, the illusions that all we are is
singular elements and only finite in consciousness. The more a consciousness is
limited, the more it naturally becomes destructive.
Freedom will come to those who free
themselves from the matrix, all this will take is to really know you are within
yourself infinite. How many of us believe that death is the end when all it is,
is a transition from one state to another. There is no true starting or ending
point, there is no limitations to our potential, only in the matrix itself is
this true, we are far more than what the matrix represents.
