The MATRIX…Just a movie?
As human inhabitants of planet Earth we might reasonably assume that any possible threat or menace from outer space would be represented by a warlike alien race seeking to conquer new territories. All down through the history of our species, wars and conflicts have commonly precipitated over territorial disputes, so it would quite naturally follow that such disputes could arise between rival civilizations across the vastness of space.
However, we must consider other possible prizes that might lure aggressive, hostile extra-terrestrials to our world. What if the human species itself, rather than the planet, was the coveted object of alien invasion? What if the life force of each and every individual human on the planet was the most highly prized food source in the universe—like the ‘spice’ of Frank Herbert’s classic novel Dune—to be cultivated and harvested like an agricultural crop?
What if such an invasion already occurred thousands of years ago on this planet, by a species from beyond our dimension of perception, and the day to day life we humans now live is merely a ‘construct’ or alien invention to keep us occupied, distracted, entertained while we live out our banal existence oblivious that our entire world is little more than a cattle ‘feed lot’?
The notion that our everyday ‘reality’ is a construct or worse–a holding pen for ‘cattle’–has been getting more mainstream play. Two extraordinary films in recent years have dealt squarely with this issue. One being Dark City and the other titled Matrix. But are these noir films unfathomable science fiction, or profoundly insightful metaphors actually describing the plight of contemporary human existence?
Judge the wisdom of ‘Morpheus’ from Matrix…
“Let me tell you why you’re here.
You’re here because you know something. What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You felt it your entire life; that there’s something very wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is—but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I’m talking about?”
“The Matrix?”
“Do you want to know what it is? The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us, even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work, when you go to church, when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.”
“What truth?”
“That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage. Born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch—a prison for your mind. Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is—you have to see it for yourself . . .
I’m trying to free your mind, Neo. But I can only show you the door. You’re the one that has to walk through it.”
“What is real? How do you define real? If you’re talking about what you can feel; what you can smell; what you can taste and see, then real is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain . . . You’ve been living in a dream world, Neo.”
“The Matrix is a system, Neo, and that system is our enemy. When you are inside, you look around, and what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters; the very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it.”
(Quotes from the Warner Brothers motion picture, Matrix.)
Ah, but Morpheus was not the only movie character aware of the ‘Matrix’—consider the insights of Moby Dick’s relentless nemesis, Captain Ahab…
“Look ye, Starbuck, all visible objects are but pasteboard masks. Some inscrutable, yet reasoning thing puts forth the molding of their features. The white whale tasks me—he heaps me, yet he is but a mask. ‘Tis the thing behind the mask I chiefly hate; the malignant thing that has plagued and frightened man since time began. The thing that maws and mutilates our race, not killing us outright but letting us live on with half a heart and half a lung.”
(Ahab, from the Warner Brothers’ motion picture, Moby Dick.)
Then in 1958, Robert Mitchum as the captain of a Navy destroyer offered this insightful commentary on the mindless futility of war in the classic combat film The Enemy Below.
“We’ve learned a hard truth . . . that there’s no end to misery and destruction. You cut the head off the snake and it grows another one. You cut that one off and you find another. You can’t kill it because it’s something within our selves. You can call it the enemy if you want to, but it’s part of us—we’re all men.”
(Quote from the 20th Century Fox motion picture, The Enemy Below.)
THE GODS OF EDEN
Could centuries of human struggle and conflict be little more than a drama actually ’stage-managed’ by unseen intelligences? Does such a notion merely serve as imaginary fodder for cinema fancy? Or is there, in fact, a body of serious research that reveals more truth to this theory than one would find easily comforting? Author William Bramley’s book, The Gods of Eden, discloses startling evidence to suggest just such covert global managing is more than the product of outrageous fiction!
“Human beings appear to be a slave race languishing on an isolated planet in a small galaxy. As such, the human race was once a source of labor for an extraterrestrial civilization and still remains a possession today. To keep control over its possession and to maintain Earth as something of a prison, that other civilization has bred never-ending conflict between human beings, has promoted spiritual decay, and has erected on Earth conditions of unremitting physical hardship. This situation has existed for thousands of years and it continues today.”
“…Humans appear to be spiritual beings animating physical bodies. The spirit seems to be the true source of awareness, personality, and intelligence. Without a spiritual entity to animate it, a human body would be little more than a reactive animal, or dead.”
“…Custodial rulers knew that they needed to keep spiritual beings permanently attached to human bodies in order to animate those bodies and make them intelligent enough to perform their labors:”
“In the clay, god and man
Shall be bound, to a unity together;
So that to the end of days
The flesh and the soul
Which in a god have ripened—
That soul in a blood kinship be bound.”
(From Sumerian text.)

Bramley is not alone in this field of research. Consider the corroborating evidence from Robert Monroe and Carlos Castenada as well…
FAR JOURNEYS
“ As it appears now, the Garden (Earth) is a fascinating spectacle of efficiency. The Collectors (Archons) have long since become Masters of the Art of the DLP Formula (Distilled Loosh Production). Type 4M units (humans) dominate and have spread all through the entire Garden, with the exception of the deeper portions of the liquid medium (oceans). These are the principle producers of Loosh distillate.”
“From experience, the Collectors have evolved an entire technology with complimentary tools for harvesting loosh from the Type 4M units. The most common have been named love, friendship, family, greed, hate, pain, guilt, disease, pride, ambition, ownership, possession, sacrifice—and on a larger scale, nations, provincialism, wars, famine, religion, machines, freedom industry, trade, to list a few.
Loosh production is higher than ever before…”
“The creation of pure, distilled loosh is brought forth in Type 4M units by the action of unfulfillment, but only if such pattern is enacted at a vibratory level above the sensory bounds of the environment. The greater the intensity of said pattern, the greater the output of loosh distillate.”
(Quotes from Far Journeys by Robert Monroe, Doubleday publishing, 1985.)
PREDATORS FROM THE COSMOS…
“We have a predator that came from the depths of the cosmos and took over the rule of our lives. Human beings are its prisoners. The predator is our lord and master. It has rendered us docile, helpless. If we want to protest, it suppresses our protest. If we want to act independently, it demands that we don’t do so…indeed we are held prisoner!
They took us over because we are food to them, and they squeeze us mercilessly because we are their sustenance. Just as we rear chickens in coops, the predators rear us in human coops, humaneros. Therefore, their food is always available to them.
Think for a moment, and tell me how you would explain the contradictions between the intelligence of man the engineer and the stupidity of his systems of belief, or the stupidity of his contradictory behavior. Sorcerers believe that the predators have given us our systems of beliefs, our ideas of good and evil; our social mores. They are the ones who set up our dreams of success or failure. They have given us covetousness, greed, and cowardice. It is the predator who makes us complacent, routinary, and egomaniacal.
In order to keep us obedient and meek and weak, the predators engaged themselves in a stupendous maneuver—stupendous, of course, from the point of view of a fighting strategist; a horrendous maneuver from the point of those who suffer it. They gave us their mind. The predators’ mind is baroque, contradictory, morose, filled with the fear of being discovered any minute now.
I know that even now, though you never have suffered hunger… you have food anxiety, which is none other than the anxiety of the predator who fears that at any moment now its maneuver is going to be uncovered and food is going to be denied. Through the mind, which, after all is their mind, the predators inject into the lives of human beings whatever is convenient for them. And they insure, in this manner, a degree of security to act as a buffer against their fear.
Sorcerers of ancient Mexico…reasoned that man must have been a complete being at one point, with stupendous insights, feats of awareness that are mythological legends nowadays. And then, everything seems to disappear, and we have now a sedated man. What I’m saying is that what we have against us not a simple predator. It is very smart, and organized. It follows a methodical system to render us useless. Man, the magical being that he is destined to be, is no longer magical. He’s an average piece of meat.
There are no more dreams for man but the dreams of an animal who is being raised to be a piece of meat: trite, conventional, imbecilic.”
