Hope you are enjoying your summer!
I recently purchased a new computer and took the opportunity to clean out old files and organize everything. What a great feeling. I was able to take a "journey" through the different phases of my life that were captured in these computer files. I reminisced about the volunteer jobs I had after I left my 9 – 5, as well as all of the chapters in my children's lives. I ran across a poem written by my daughter when she was a teenager called, "Surrender to the Tide".
What is the chaos in the world right now teaching us? Possibly to let the universe take us into new waters where we may find something beautiful and unexplored. These new waters may be frightening, but maybe not as much as the illusion created by the mind. I found this poem particularly pertinent this summer as we are forced to move out of our own little whirlpools (ego) and realize that we are a part of a great collective sea of humanity. We are independent as well as interdependent.
We have all swam against the tide and exhausted ourselves at some point. But when is it good to swim against the tide? I guess it depends on the tide. Is it nature's tide or one created by our engineered reality? If it is the latter, it is probably best to swim against it to then have the opportunity to be swept up in another tide…. nature's flow, full of purity and unconditional love which is our birthright. When I surrender, I only intend to surrender my ego's perceptions of the world and not my true self or the purity and integrity that goes along with that. (See my latest blog below called, "Let's Get Real", which differentiates the natural vs. the artificial.)

Are we currently living in a blended reality, one organic/natural, and the other synthetic/artificial? I assert that we are. When I think of natural vs. artificial, the idea of organic sugar compared artificial sweetener comes to mind. One comes from the earth and the natural order of things, and one is created in a lab, like the robot above. I have recently come to realize that there is a part of us that is organic, connected to prime creator and nature’s intelligence system. This part of us is full of life and is founded upon unconditional love, purity, freedom and creation. There is also a part of us attached to the false matrix and AI.
What is The Matrix Resurrections trying to tell us? Is it a purely fictional sci-fi movie or is it a metaphor for our reality? I understand that this latest Matrix movie (#4) has garnered mixed views by the critics and has been deemed by many as a rehash of the others. I would beg to differ, as this latest rendition is steeped in esoteric knowledge and perhaps is primarily functioning as a tool for disclosure of what is happening in our world. If you are a spiritual seeker, have taken "the red pill" or want to, this analysis is for you. This Ebook will look at The Matrix Resurrections in terms of how it depicts the “Matrix”, how the “Suits” keep us trapped, and the methods for escaping it.

Like this piece of clay, we are all molded through the course of life into the people we are today, with our own belief systems and programming (literally), which contribute to our accomplishments and life situation.
In some sense, we are the culmination of the many choices we have made. But to be fair, most of the molding was done in utero (environment and inherited) and in the first seven years of life when others were more in control than we were..
