Thank you. For such a complex subject, you expressed that with remarkable clarity and succinctness.
It comes down to choice, our ability to choose. And yes choice within a confined context - the world/matrix whatever. you call it - still there is choice.
Maybe this is the whole point - that most fundamental thing left. You are still here - scaffolding of the manufactured world gone - and yet YOU exist. What are you going to do about that? Best.
In the past few weeks, I've been diving into these topics through books, Gaia Emersion program and my own reflections and insights, so I'm very much switched on and would like to share my growing conclusion.
I can see a ginormous funnel with all the scientific evidence, theories, paradoxes, spiritual teachings and inexplicable phenomena about the nature of our reality, time, soul etc. which are speculations and questions in the main.
Out of this mishmash we can choose whatever version we like and subscribe to, which is really like fish in the ocean speculating about the world outside the ocean, or whether there is anything outside of the ocean at all.
As we are moving down the funnel, those narratives become more condensed, more sophisticated, more considered and also overlapping and binding together, leading to the inevitable "singularity" that throws everything out the window and brings us back to square one.
In fact, it's a "double singularity" (to make it more interesting) which is beyond our minds' understanding. I will write them connected with a plus:
Nothing exists outside of us (every individual human mind) + Everything exists HERE and NOW.
This, I feel, is the underlying Principle of Life. Why? Because it swallows like an almighty black hole every question, every test and every conversation in this narrative (all of which, by the way, are very healthy, enjoyable, stimulating our minds and keeping us busy), making them redundant.
An existential singularity we cannot penetrate. The Creation consists of I+HERE+NOW.
That’s it.
Which opens a new can of worms, of course, and more invigorating discussions :-)
When I think of the matrix, I think of Ian McGilchrist 's book on the divided mind...
The matrix isn't out there being projected onto us, but the way that we perceive, ignore, or filter out reality.
It's an internal thing that works well and the VR and tech ideas of it are infantile as they themselves cannot see how they too are trapped in their own self matrixes.
Regarding choice: you are all speaking perceptual truth in this very juicy stream, and all of it makes sense…yes and yes, especially the circumstantial basis for choice. Even so, and of course this is based on my personal “knowingness:”
Isn't there an “original” value system called Natural (Universal) Law…and “original” (dare I say SOUL) choice to participate in this time of, at the very least uncovering, slavery?
And when we choose—then act, we get a result. When we get a result, we rearrange our beliefs and eventually reprogram our “pre-programmed” states…yes, no?
Yes, by all means, let the wicked destroy the wicked. I'm not sure so much about choice, yes we can choose but is there really any choice?
Can I choose to do evil in such a way so as to negate the negative consequences for myself? Is that possible, and if it's not then why choose evil? Asking for a friend, hahaha.

Awareness, choice, action.
Thanks as always, Cate, for lighting up what’s both potentially imminent and possible.
Interesting thoughts, as always, Cate :-) Reverberate our raw conversation on my podcast - anyone interested can listen to "Hacking The Matrix" https://quantumlivingpodcast.com/episode/s5-e27-hacking-the-matrix (there is a link on my Substack).
