Welcome to the Matrix:
The man wears sunglasses and trench coat. He sits across from a young computer
programmer.
“The Matrix is everywhere” the break the silence. “It’s all about us. Even now, in
this room”. “It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from
this truth”.
“What truth?” asked Neo.
Morpheus lean in. “That you are a slave” he responds. “Like everyone else, you
were born to bondage. Born into a prison you cannot smell or taste or touch. A
prison. For your mind”.
Morpheus holds out two pills: one red, one blue.
“You can take the blue pills, the story ends, you wake up in your bed. You take the
red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.”
Neo hesitates, and then reach for the red pill. Morpheus warns him, “Remember,
all I’m offering is the truth. Nothing more.”
Neo experiences firsthand that he has indeed been living in a simulated reality, a
“mind movie.” As this artificial reality disintegrates, Neo comes to understand
that the Matrix-this world he lived in- is nothing but computer code. It can be
programmed.
Neo joins a group of rebels who have learned to hack the Matrix, reentering the
artificial reality they used to call home in order to free other enslaved humans
by showing them the truth. And because they know how the Matrix works, they
can bend the physical laws of reality and give themselves superhuman powers.
Like Neo, we too are in a kind of “prison of the mind.” Our minds keep us trapped
in this prison with invisible walls, convinced that our current reality is the only
reality. But like The Matrix we can hack back into our minds, rewriting our
mental code. The key question is: What do we want?
By developing the skill of imagination, we can learn to picture what do we want,
not just what we don’t want.
Now, Imagine that Morpheus is standing near us, offering us the choice between
two pills.
