GLITCH IN THE MATRIX

Glitch In The Matrix

‘Glitch in the matrix’ is a phrase first coined in the 1999 film, The Matrix, which posited the idea that humanity is living in a giant computer simulation.

‘Matrix Theory’ is based on the idea that the world is like a computer programme, with a set of rules and algorithms that determine how things work. Understanding these rules and algorithms is the key to success in life, and anyone can learn to hack the matrix by mastering these.

This is the illusion based on an illusion.

We are meant to see the world as an illusion,
so that we can speculate about it ad infinitum,
continuing forever, without limit.

Why?
Another deceptive belief.

The ‘matrix’ is the simulation in the mind, not the physical world (although the universe as we comprehend it has no permanent reality – it’s all in the mind). We can actually hack mental illusions through Dharma practice which cuts through all confusion.

Realising that the rules and algorithms for life are
desire, aversion and ignorance,
the hack is seeing the emotions as empty, cognisant compassion.

Samsara: the vicious cycle of existence promotes success in life.
Evil is close to the truth, but not complete.

    Could you please elaborate on what you mean by ‘evil’ here. Is it anything other than the complex self-centred attitudes and impulses arising from ignorance?
    I understand it to be the expression of our delusions and a result of wrong identification, due to our illusions about our truth and ignorance of our reality.
