the matrix

i can't help but feel like people and their energies are living in and making their way through a matrix.
synchronicities and people who act the same way all the time so not spontaneously. songs and culture trying to keep us within familiar frames of thought and when thoughts and action exceed the norm social stigma psychosis is written on records and associated to past times of moments of seeming bliss and pure adventure and freedom.
this matrix though... i feel like it can be hacked with numerology, symbolism, ritual and trust and belief.
it's not like the movie the matrix where there is an external force projecting a vision onto the people. instead it's like you are the one creating the matrix in your own mind which matches up to synchronicity and other seemingly metaphysical or supernatural occurences.
especially when the symbolism of dreams leaks into waking life and vice versa.

i would call this matrix culture
i feel like it can be hacked with numerology, symbolism, ritual and trust and belief.
i would call this superstitious nonsense. no offense. i do think culture can be deconstructed and examined in ways that can actually change a culture but as you said the matrix isn't about change. it's about maintaining the status qou and all the power relations that go with it.
especially when the symbolism of dreams leaks into waking life and vice versa.
how does that happen?

I believe in a collective immaterial consciousness.
Numerology is retarded.
Symbols are a big deal, though. Especially what with the rampant consumerism and subtle brainwashing going on in America. Propaganda galore.
Everybody, everybody, everybody livin' now. Everybody, everybody, everybody fucks. Everybody, everybody, everybody livin' now. Everybody, everybody, everybody sucks.
Everybody, everybody, everybody livin' now. Everybody, everybody, everybody cries Everybody, everybody, everybody livin' now. Everybody, everybody, everybody dies.
It's a non-stop disco Bet you it's Nabisco, Bet you didn't know.
It's a violent pornography! Choking chicks and SODOMY! The kinda shit you get on your TV!
Turn off your TV.
