Deep dives

Understanding the Matrix of Control

The concept of the 'Matrix' refers to the complex system of control that influences our daily lives, beyond the fictional portrayal in movies. This real-world matrix manifests as a mental and societal enslavement, where individuals are conditioned to accept certain limitations imposed by authorities. For instance, the analogy of seeing a black cat twice symbolizes the fleeting control exerted by those in power, indicating a reaction to perceived loss of authority. Recognizing that many barriers we face are not tangible is crucial; they exist primarily in our minds, restricting our perceptions and actions.
