(Neo) "What truth?"
"That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage. Into a prison that you cannot taste or see or touch. A prison for your mind."
This movie resonates with people at many different levels. For me, it's astonishingly bold and upfront with the truth while remaining cloaked in science fiction fantasy. The meaning lies past the entertainment and strikes a perfect cord with the fabricated reality we call civilization for the analogy is real - the matrix is real.
Let me show you the matrix.
A federal judge today blocked controversial aspects to a law passed by the state of Arizona pursuant to the identification and detainment of illegals. The law is the matrix, every law. The judge is matrix code. Illegal is a matrix code (label). The border of Arizona is the matrix. The right for the police (code) to detain illegals (code) is the matrix. The reality is that none of this exists but in our minds. There is no line in the sand between Mexico and Arizona - it's all earth. The border is fictitious. There are no Mexicans - they are people - same specie as any other homo sapien. There is no US, no laws, no state of Arizona - it's just what people believe - it's a prison for their minds. The matrix is absolutely everywhere, we walk around with civilization formulated and fabricated inside our minds. Right and wrong - completely made up.
The matrix enslaves us. The ones that enslave us are the ones that first formulated laws - the matrix. Story making by way of the whip and spear. The origin of the matrix goes back to the foundations of agrarian civilization, language, story making, dream making, it is all a creation of the mind and for the mind. It is the forbidden fruit.
Your labor is being harvested. Your productivity is being harvested.
Think about this next time you find yourself in a political argument, fighting for the red team or the blue team, when your paying your taxes, or paying some fee at the DMV, or when your working most of your life away inside a cubicle while the CEO of BP (all matrix code) goes to yacht races, plays golf at a million dollar country club, or jets off to France to tour a winery after running a company that ruinously neglected safety concerns and thereby murdering 11 hard working subjects and killing most of the life swimming in the Northern gulf! The system that made all of that possible is fully functional. It is a system of laws to keep you doing what you do, and them with the worlds riches - harvested through your obedience to the matrix.
"Welcome to the real world."
The real world is simply what you "can" or "cannot" do. The rest is the matrix. You have to walk through that door.
"A world without rules and controls, without borders and boundaries. A world where anything is possible."
