The Matrix (Spiritual)

Have you wondered what the film The Matrix is about spiritually speaking?

Maybe not… And I won't be surprised! It is mind-boggling… in any way you think about it. The mind tries to grasp what it is all about and in the end, you have to quit thinking about it or be in danger of systems overload!

Think about this…

A grid - the physical world, the illusion that what we see is true.

The inner workings - the Spiritual world, the layer beyond the layer; the meaning beyond the matter; what holds everything together; the Truth; the real reason why we are here and an energy system largely untapped and that most of the time we do not take advantage of because we don't know how to connect. These are but a few ways you could describe it…

The machines - the systems and people in power who suck the energy from the people by means of confusion and twisting the truth in order to obtain power for themselves and prevent the regular person from empowering themselves, making their own decisions and creating their own reality, which may be good or bad (is there such a thing?) but it definitely is a lesson set up by yourself for you to learn the lessons you want, experiment and experience that which you think you are ready for.

Immediate training computerized loading - incredible tricks performed that don't seem possible, let alone real, which only certain individuals seem to be able to accomplish (the awakened ones). What powers can send us into the state where we have these seemingly superhuman skills?

The setup is complex and most people don't see it, or don't want to see it, or are not interested, or are merely too busy struggling through their everyday lives to find the time and energy necessary to detach themselves and create perspective and space for actively shaping their lives consciously.

So now, look at it this way…

Energy

We run around reacting to the external demands in our lives; we achieve what externally seems to be the right thing (hold together a home, work, health…). In the meantime, our spirit is sinking in an unknown place and we are tired. But have you thought that you have an inner natural rhythm that you need to be paying attention to? This will allow you to do more tasks in less time, using less of your energy and in a more creative way; you become more powerful and your targets are reached more accurately. All in all - more efficiency, less waste.

How, you ask, can we accomplish this?

Do you find that you push yourself when you don't have the energy to do so? Two points here: when your body is low, it is either because it is trying to work out the best way to reach the goals that you consciously set yourself and therefore it needs external rest to carry out internal work or it simply is in an ebb (as opposite of tide – compelling wave of energy driving you to your targets).

Can you afford to do something you have the energy for at that moment and wait until the next tide? Like a surfer, ride the waves of energy according to your inner rhythms rather than give way to the external demands.

Can you postpone certain demands/appointments/duties for a later date/time and use this time for other tasks that require a lesser input of energy? You will find that if you do the things you have the energy for, rather than following your to do list in a strict way, you will accomplish things quicker and more creatively. You will even be amazed at the works of art you can create in your life!

Being/Doing dichotomy

Are you so busy doing things that you have forgotten how or when to be…?

Let me explain…

When I started coaching I thought I had to do something to help my clients achieve their goals. However, after a while, I have realised that nothing I do is going to help others, but everything I am, will.

When you work on yourself and raise your vibration by adding more understanding, connection, energy, wisdom and the most important ingredient, compassion to your life and the people in it, you will find that people will automatically shift around you. Your light brings automatic clarity to their lives, they shift when you are present, they kind of catch your fire without you having to do anything. Since in the realm of energy there is neither time nor distance, the connection is beyond your consciousness and your control, but it is not less powerful and transformative.

Guess what! When you think like this, freedom becomes a reality (what yesterday seemed an impossibility!) because you are now free of having to do something for someone else or creating a shift in another person's life and the responsibility for their actions/choices. All you need to do is make sure is that you are happy, follow your rhythms, are kind to yourself, shift your life to a new level of unconditional compassion for yourself… from you, to you, about you… always you, you and you…

What??? You ask, this is like the Matrix… I can't believe it. It doesn't make sense. Or maybe it does… I don't quite grasp it. I am totally confused. Help…!!!

I truly thought, you may add, that I had to make others happy, care for them, help them, make sure they were ok! Surely what about my family that I took responsibility for…

Yes, I will say, of course you are to fulfil your commitments. But to what level are you going to do their learning, to what level are you going to carry them, to what level are you going to force them to take in your wise advice, to what level are you going to take their lessons from them. To what level are you going to interfere in their spiritual choices and growth. Have you forgotten that the only way to teach others is by example?

This is where we go back to my original thought.

You don't have to do something, merely be it: be what you want others to learn; be responsible if you want your children to become responsible; be compassionate if you want your boss to understand you; be love if you want your relationship with your wife to flourish. Be, be, be… (sounds like a sheep? Just joking, no pun intended!)

Surrendering

It all comes in the end to releasing control of the outcome of your life. Plan, yes, and let Spirit to guide you; Want, yes, and be ready not to get it - be ready to release your wants so that they can come to you tenfold; Wish for, yes, and make sure that you believe it so that you can attract it.

Coming back to The Matrix… you still don't understand it? Let go, and you will!
