Bondage of the matrix: 6 illusions of reality that rule a person

"An illusion, even being in jail can make you comfortable."

(Nelson Mandela)

Sigmund Frode, philosopher and psychiatrist, reflects on the state of humanity and how we can all get out of the Matrix.

If a magician or "magician" wants to deceive you, then first he creates an illusion in order to divert your attention from reality. While the audience is enthusiastic about meaningless tricks, the magician gets the opportunity to fool her.

But sometimes it is so hard for a fool to admit the fact of deception that he can continue to believe in something that does not exist for years.

We live in a world of illusion. Many of the problems that occupy your brain and calendar are only there because someone has forced them on you. God knows, whether it happened by accident or not, but all of us (or almost all) have become victims of the authoritarian-corporate consumer culture, which now dominates.

Psychopaths have robbed us of our sense of reality. And social networks allowed them to convey their ideas to the broad masses of the population without intermediaries in the face of the media. And their main harm is that they dealt an absolute, crushing blow to our self-confidence and tomorrow.

Revolutionary street artist Banksy once remarked, “People drink intellectual piss every day. She turns their life into a cigarette butt. It makes you believe that you are not sexy enough.

Or that all the fun is happening elsewhere. Television has already made your girlfriend inadequate. They have access to the latest technology. And they bully you. They are advertisers and they laugh at you."

But advertising is just the tip of the iceberg. If you look further, you will see that the entire organization of our life is built around the pursuit of illusions and the idea of mass obedience to other people, ideas and institutions.

We are in slavery - in the full sense of the word. We are under consumer oppression and total control. THEY invade our mind from the very beginning and reprogram it for obedience.

Here are six of the greatest illusions to give up if you want to be free - not only externally, but internally as well.

1. The illusion of law, order and power

For many of us, following the letter of the law is a moral obligation. But corruption and political scandals prove that the law is flexible enough. Especially for those who have the muscles to bend it.

Police brutality and the crimes it commits is a reality not only for Ukraine or Russia, but even for the United States and many European countries. The courts have always sided with the rich. And now we cannot even protect ourselves from the invasion of the state eye into our personal lives.

And all this immorality of the governments of different countries one way or another leads to the murder and destruction of entire peoples and cultures. Social order is an illusion. And it exists only because you, law-abiding citizens, are obedient and agree with everything.

What is a state? This is a group of individuals who force others to obey them on pain of violence. The state is a gang that has a monopoly on violence. History teaches us over and over again: state institutions are needed only to oppress, control and rob other people. Any so-called power is necessarily deceitful, hypocritical and unjust.

There is no law, no order, and no justice. All these are just lush trappings of power that are needed to hide the truth. The truth that the world order is based on controlling other people and fighting dissent.

2. The illusion of well-being and happiness

Each of us now uses so many expensive jewelry and trinkets that any monarch of the 19th century would envy it. Maintaining the illusion of prosperity is critical to the sustainability of the entire global financial system.

But you shouldn't forget that consumption is always based on fraud, loans and debt. The banking system was originally invented to make the rich even richer at the expense of the poor, who are convinced that they have some value.

But real prosperity and happiness can only be given to you by nature, health, love and relationships with loved ones. Do not identify with the material goods that you have. So you are only moving away from happiness, and not approaching it!

3. The illusion of freedom of choice

It seems to us that we all have a choice of how to live. But in reality, we are only offered a limited set of options, and they are all bad. Whatever decision you choose regarding your life, you will always be in captivity of the legal and tax systems of your state. And it will continue to safeguard these systems with a monopoly on violence.

Look at the fake institution of modern democracy. And you will understand that the election result depends only on which political force is more successful in powdering your brains. The illusion of free choice is a powerful oppressor because fools are slaves who think they are free. Do not be under illusions: you are still being kept on a leash.

4. The illusion of truth

Truth is a sensitive topic in our culture. It is as if we are programmed to constantly seek the truth. One part of any society in the state thoughtlessly trusts everything that the TV tells it, the other does not believe at all anything that the journalists say. Both extremes are utter folly.

If you want to maintain peace and freedom in your soul, learn to think for yourself. And remember that there are always two sides to any truth. Even if someone is hiding them.

5. The illusion of time

They say that time is money, but that is a lie. Time is your life. Stop thinking exclusively in terms of the five senses and according to the schedule and calendar.

We proceed from the premise that the spirit is eternal, and every human soul is a part of this eternity. And the main deception: they in every possible way convince us that the present moment does not matter. As if we must always analyze our past and look forward to a better future. Instead, we free people invite you to focus on what is happening right here and now.

If you are focused not on what is happening now, but on what may or may not happen in the future, then you are an easy prey for advertisers, authorities and other pimps who cloud your mind with all kinds of fears.

We are happy when life does not hit us on the head, when spontaneity and chance are more interesting for us than grandiose plans, and when your now is more important than your tomorrow. If time is money, then life could be measured in dollars.

6. The illusion of separation

In the area of mass management strategy, there is nothing more effective divide and conquer tactics. This principle is always applied to establish authoritarian rule or to justify a military invasion of another country. And this illusion of separation really works.

We are programmed to believe that we, as an individual, are constantly in a state of competition with those who are against us. We don't even trust our neighbors and relatives! But all people on Earth are not competitors to each other, but partners. And how effective this partnership will be depends on what kind of world we will live in, what gases we will watch, how we will breathe and whether we will drink clean water.

We are a global community, and state borders are only an illusion that exists as long as we believe in it.

Some believe that the illusion of separation (the idea of nationalities, for example) consoles our ego and gives us opportunities for self-identification. But she does everything to enslave and isolate you.

We want you to stop blindly trusting the machinations of the Matrix. Continuously strive to empower yourself. If they demand from you obedience and obedience, remember: you were just “sold” to a profitable idea of legality and rationality. They can't sell us what we don't need.
