Matrix - Re-visited!

Sometimes it is very interesting to re-visit the places you have seen; to re-read the books you have read; to re-watch the movies you have watched….
For me, the entire mission turns out to be quite fruitful. I find new meaning, new twists and twirls, new philosophies…well, something new. It’s worth.

I was re-watching ‘The Matrix’ the other day and I was quite surprised at the dimensions that arose!

It made me think about the boundaries between fantasy and the real world and how boundaries can be permeable… (Instead of binding…)
The thought on boundaries made me think about the ‘false’, ‘unnecessary’, ‘binding’, ‘superficial’ and yet ‘powerful’ boundaries that we weave around us…(are we aware?)
The thought on boundaries make me think of ‘freedom’ and our false assumption of being bound all the time…

My favourite quote – Morpheus says, "You have to let it all go, Neo. Fear, doubt, and disbelief. Free your mind."
It makes me think how freeing your mind helps you attain…. (attain ‘what’ is irrelevant, because you can attain only one thing ultimately…)
Thinking about ‘Mind’ provokes further thoughts on how we can control our mind, if Matrix can control with several human minds…

Controlling mind reminds me of ‘Maya’ which Hindu scriptures talk about… the distinction between truth and fantasy… Matrix, the Maya… (Or Matrix, the Truth?)

Thoughts on ‘Truth’ lead to ‘meaning of one’s life’.
I ask, what do I exist for?
And, am I aware?
If not, how will I?

I am in deep thought… no more words…

True Love

When the learning or the realisation that you would have acquired over a period of time comes all of a sudden in front of you with a very attractive, appealing name, you wonder... oh! i didn't know that this concept already existed... and that it has a name too... Anyways, it is always good to go through an experince and learn. It leaves you enriched.
I got a similar feeling when I was reading Eleven Minutes. I cannot put the thoughts of Maria across better than how she has recorded in her diary. A leaf from Maria's diary... (My diary too)...
No one owns anything, that everything is an illusion - and that applies to material as well as spiritual things. Anyone who has lost something they thought was theirs forever finally comes to realise that nothing really belongs to them.
And if nothing belongs to me, then there is no point wasting my time looking after things that aren't mine, it is best to live as if today were the first (or last) day of my life...
... All my life, I thought of love as some liknd of an enslavement. Well, freedom only exists when love is present. The person who gives him or herself, the person who feels freest, is the person who love most wholeheartedly. And the person who loves wholeheartedly feels free. In love, no one can harm anyone else, we are responsible for our own feelings and cannot blame someone else for what we feel. No one loses anyone, because no one owns anyone. That's the true experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world without owning it.

The conversation

I came across these lovely lines in a book and I took liberty to turn the writer's thoughts to a conversation.

I am a cloud... I have been feeling an implusion to go... A call from with in... A very strong feeling...
But where to? I don't know. Who do I ask? The sky knows the reasons and patterns behind all clouds; Sky, where do I go and when? Now?

My little one, clouds don't know why they move in such direction and at such a speed... Listen to your heart and go. You will know when you lift yourself high enough to see beyond horizons.
