The Matrix In The Real World

That night after my yoga class, I sat down with my yoga teacher and we have a great chat about spiritual topics. She mentioned to me about those green symbol pattern appeared on the beginning of "The Matrix" movie. It was half kana characters based on the wikipedia explanation. They are downward-flowing green characters. This code includes mirror images of half-width kana characters and Western Latin letters and numerals. Very impressive to me as i still can recall back that scene with these symbols.

The story it's about the machine world versus awaken human race. The machine world has conquered the human world and using human as its main source of energy power through their brain waves. The machine has created a virtual world in order to keep the human brain active. Well the part that attracts me is Neo character, an awaken human in the machine world. Neo awaken from the virtual world that the machine have created. And he is identified as 'The One' who shall save the human race from the machine manipulation. An awaken human in the machine world.

I saw a similarity between the machine world versus human race and our real world versus spiritual world. The difference is that the machine world is a dark forces to the human race, but the spiritual world is the brightness that shine through our real world. It's kind of drastic comparison. Neo has been awakened from the machine world and he tried desperately to save others via the virtual world. But is this suppose to be ? Why he want to awaken and save others ? Maybe he has been destined to be a human kept inside a tube by the machine.

Well, awaken not neccesary means that you have achieve something great and you are done with your life. My yoga teacher reminded me that night. She said "Each one of us has our own purpose here in this world. Just enjoy whatever has been revealed and given to you in this world. Stay firm and be fearless and you shall find your own purpose and know what you need to do. Accumulate your power inside and wait for the right time to come. You should be able to achieve what you want in future."

Now i only realized what she mean in these words this morning. I shall enjoy whatever I have now and blessed with and learn how to live at now, rather than think of future.

I missed The Matrix movie story very much. Plan to watch the 3 series of the movie tonight.

The Real Truman Show

This morning when I was standing at the train station, waiting for the train, I looked up to the sky and noticed that the moon is there, watching us. The contrast between the light blue sky and the clouds color looks so strong that I felt like it was not real at all, but more like a water color painting. Suddenly I think of this scenery almost similar to one of the scene appear in 'The Truman Show' movie.

The movie was directed and played by Jim Carrey. The story is about an insurance salesman/adjuster discovers his entire life is actually a TV show. Thousand and millions of people watching him on TV. There is one scene where the producer of the TV Show, watching Truman from the moon, which actually a control room used by the producer to control lights effects, weather and everything in the show.

Could this actually happen in our life as well ? Where God is the producer and He is watching us from His control room and observe our daily life ? We are just God puppets to be placed on stage and our life story is actually all in the hand of God. Sometimes He will give us some obstacles, difficulties, challenge, misery in life but sometimes He is kind enough to let us enjoy the happiness. If you believe in God, you might feel the same way as what i feel.

The point here is the world will not just be there for no purpose. There must be a creator with highest power that make this world exists. I do believe that in each one of us, there's a soul, given my God and bestowed into our physical body. Then He starts the stage playing by watching us, to see whether we are able to find back the origin of our soul, cultivate it and return back to Him when it's time. Then the physical body will be discarded.

But how does the God judge that a soul can be returned to him ? Well, there must be some guiding rules there to give out the merits. Regardless of what religion you are, I believe that the final purpose of all the religion always go back to cultivate kindness, happiness and good in one's doing.

We will always in Samsara if we do not have the right merits to go back to Him, where as human being, we have to go through life, aging, sickness and death again and again which will bring suffering to us.

By realizing this, one's will always live his life by following the right path. The guidelines can come from any religions text, Qur'an, Yoga Sutra, Kong Zi's Tao or others. But there's only 1 final path/destination which each one of us will follow - back to our inner soul, back to God and end all the suffering in samsara.

This is just my own realization, so please don't feel offend by any words or sentences I wrote here.

Namaste !
