SO, LET'S discuss How to escape the matrix
In The Decentralist Issue 3: How To Escape The Matrix, I’ll describe The Matrix, describe why you’re trapped inside it and how to exit.
“The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you’re inside, you look around, 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.” **~Morpheus,**The Matrix
WHY SHOULD IT MATTER?
You know something’s wrong. You can feel it.
You don’t know what it is and you can’t identify it
Yet, you sense it all around you
You can’t shake it
Even worse, It’s only intensifying…
This is because the Matrix has you and you’re beginning to realize it.
But don’t worry, understanding this is a good thing.
When I discovered this for myself in 2019,
I quickly learned that I was not alone
And neither are you
When I began my journey and I made a roadmap
A map for others to use when they were ready to leave
But understand this; the journey will require that you to;
-tame your ego
-self reflect
-take accountability
But I'm remiss, back to my point;
1. ACCEPT THAT THE MATRIX HAS YOU
Inflation = Debasement = Theft
Because theft is built into the base layer of our money, manipulation is required for the system to function
This means that Capitalism, the free market, and Democracy itself are Ideas that never really existed
No one, not even AI, can justify its benefit for the 99%
2. UNDERSTAND WHAT THE MATRIX IS
We live in Oligarchies, not democracies. In fact, although we’ve come close in the 1950s, we’ve never truly lived in democracies.
We are ruled by a few “prestigious” institutions that are highly integrated
This is The Matrix
3. UNDERSTAND WHAT THE MATRIX WANTS FROM YOU
The Matrix. wants you fat, dumb, lazy, poor, angry, and scared
Because you’re more compliant this way.
4. STOP GIVING YOUR POWER AWAY TO AUTHORITY
From a very young age, most of us were taught to doubt ourselves and do only what authority commands us to do, even if we don’t feel like doing so. Now, as adults, we don’t trust ourselves, and so we choose to let others have power over our lives.
We vote for politicians who do nothing but lie to us in order to satisfy their inner hunger, being under the illusion that by voting we are granted the power to choose our future when in reality the choices we are presented with are very limited and almost exactly the same. So we allow a small group of people to manipulate us for their own personal gain, foolishly believing that they want to contribute to the betterment of society.
If we truly want to start creating a positive change in the world, we need to stop giving power to a few others and hold them responsible for our lives, and instead start taking responsibility in our own hands so that we can become the creators of our destiny.
5. THE ECONOMIC SYSTEM IS A FRAUD SO QUESTION IT
Money, in essence, is created out of debt, thus creating the illusion of scarcity of resources, which compels people to compete in the market, who have to waste most of their life working as wage slaves. This inevitably results in the tremendous suffering and social conflict that prevails all around the world.
In addition, our economic system requires people to consume without end so that money can keep on circulating in the economy, thus urging us to continuously buy things we don’t need and which are going to end up in landfills, poisoning the very environment that we depend on and sustains us.
If you don’t like this kind of living and would like to create a positive change in your life and the world, I’d highly recommend you to research further into the immensely negative consequences of our economy, and educate yourself on alternative, more technically efficient and environmentally sustainable economic systems.
6. DETACH FROM MATERIALISM
Being brought up in a consumer culture, we believe that money can buy everything we need and will bring happiness into our lives. So we choose to buy more and more things without end, but we always end up feeling dissatisfied and hungry for more stuff.
The truth is that money can only provide us with substitutes for what we truly need, but not the real deal. What we need is neither possessions nor services, but things such as love, friendship, and creativity. So don’t be concerned about which is the next best thing you can buy, and instead invest your time and efforts in achieving heart-opening and mind-expanding experiences that money can’t buy.
7. BE MINDFUL OF WHAT YOU PUT IN YOUR BODY
Is what you’re eating contributing to your health or is it poisoning your physical organism? Is what you’re eating environmentally sustainable, or is it negatively impacting the natural world? These are some important questions that all people should ask themselves.
Most people choose to eat foods that are filled with sugar, and preservatives, and are empty of nutrients, or contain animal-derived products, unaware that their food choices are detrimental to their health, contribute to the suffering and death of tens of billions of animals, and have a tremendously negative impact on the environment.
From now on, be sure to choose carefully what you choose to put into your mouth, and I assure you that this is one of the best things you can do for yourself and the world.
8. CHOOSE YOUR NEWS SOURCES WISELY
Knowledge is power, but we are drowning in an ocean of information.
Corporate media presents us all the time with biased information, fooling us into believing the lies they tell in order to manipulate us exactly the way they want.
A true seeker of knowledge does not accept anything on belief, but seeks out facts and tries to develop a spherical understanding of the matter he/she is looking into.
If you don’t like being misled and desire to better understand what’s going on in the world, do your best to collect information from as many sources as possible and use critical thinking in order to reach your own conclusions about what’s true or not.
9. READ BOOKS
There have been plenty of wise individuals who’ve written books in which they share their thoughts on life’s problems and how they can be overcome. Many of them criticized the workings of society and offer their insights on how we can help create a more beautiful world.
Books, therefore, could be immensely helpful in opening our eyes and improving the quality of our lives, yet the sad truth is that not a lot of people spend much of their time reading books — or they just choose to read for entertainment reasons alone.
To get the most out of reading books, be sure to not just pick any book and read it — read those ones that touch your mind and heart and provide you with new perspectives that help you to better understand yourself and the world.
10. ESCAPE THE HEARD
Just like every person alive, you are a unique individual with unique talents and gifts to offer to the world.
Unfortunately, society has suppressed our individuality since the day we were born. We’ve been programmed to doubt ourselves and conform to what is considered as normal. This, however, prevents us from embracing ourselves and creating our own path in life, which is causing us immense emotional pain.
From today, distance yourself from the herd mentality and start paying attention to your inner voice — doing so will allow you to follow your calling and live the way you truly want to live.
11. CREATIVELY EXPRESS YOURSELF
A great way to deprogram yourself from the normalcy of modern life is to focus your attention on creativity.
We’re all born creative, but slowly our creativity has been suppressed so much that we’ve almost forgotten that we’re creative beings.
To be creative means to think outside the box and see life from different perspectives. Most importantly, to be creative means to find out new ways of living and realize that you have the power to manifest the kind of life you desire.
12. SEPARATE FROM ORGANIZED RELIGION
Dogmatic, organized religion imposes on people what to think and what not to, what is good and what is bad, what is right and what is wrong.
Thus, organized religion prevents people from using their critical thinking, seeking the truth, and reaching their own conclusions. On the contrary, it teaches them to blindly follow a set of morals and rules. The result? Emotional suppression and suffering.
If you want to reclaim your individuality, honestly express yourself and walk on the path of understanding, be sure to break the chains of organized religion and start your own quest for the truth from scratch.
13. YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU OWN
Consume less and contribute more
You should be extremely suspicious when the state or state-funded media asks you to spend
It is never about your well-being and always about the Centralized agenda
14. Check your Ideology at the door
There is no room for it, so keep it to yourself
Knowledge, factual evidence, transparency, and pragmatism are superpowers
If you choose to have a strong opinion that you know to be triggering to others, make sure it’s well thought out, structured, and backed by factual evidence that you’ve seen for yourself
Outlook and final thoughts;
There is a reason why everything that can destroy you, your family, and your community is easily accessible while everything that empowers you is not.
By being mindful of the here and now, you’ll be able to respond to whatever happens each and every moment spontaneously, without being a victim of your past.
There are many meditation techniques out there that can help you to become mindful, so find the ones that you like most and stick to them until you see positive results in your life.
Thank you for making it this far. You can be certain that I’ll be following this clown show for the duration.
Until next time denizens.
