How does one get out of the Matrix?

Question

Thanks in advance for answering. Peace, Love and Blessings!

Answer 1

Plato describes the condition of this world as a Matrix-like world in "The Allegory of the Cave." (I recommend you reading it). The "escape," as it were, comes from enlightenment through philosophy and the realization of the "real world" (which for Plato was the Realm of Forms)...

Answer 2

I would say the best way is to learn how to soul travel. The matrix is our lives and our lives are all dreams, not reality. Soul travel is reality. You can start by learning how to "wake up" while you're dreaming. While you're having a dream, realize it's a dream and wake up in it. Then you can master the events of the dream...you can do anything you like. It is freedom and it is real. Eventually you'll learn how to soul travel without being asleep in a "dream", but  you must practice. Have fun!

Answer 3

Phone and say you have a headache.

Answer 4

Climb over the large parentheses...

Answer 5

I think it's the blue pill.

Answer 6

Read some Nietzsche, and familiarize yourself with the concept of the "ubermensch."  Then, check out Transhumanism on Wikipedia.

Neo's character in the Matrix movies was essentially an ubermensch or transhuman.  He started out as just another human, trapped in the system like all the others.  Through both enlightenment and technological enhancement, though, he was able to become something more than human, and thus break free of the artificial constraints of body and mind that bound him.

P.S. A message to "m":  it's called lucid dreaming, and really has nothing to do with the soul (or the Matrix, for that matter).  You're simply self-aware while you're dreaming.  The hard part, btw, is not waking up as soon as you realize you're dreaming.

Answer 7

You can't do it by yourself if you are in the Matrix.  You can only break free of the Matrix with the assistance of someone who has never been in the Matrix.  

Think about it.  If you are in the Matrix, how would you even know you were in the Matrix unless someone who had never been in the Matrix at all freed you?

The situation I described above parallels a Christian concept known as grace.  That is mankind is trapped by sin and unable to escape through our own efforts until a higher power frees us.  

A good deal of the Matrix is based on an ancient form of Christianity known as Gnosticism (it was deemed heretical by Church authorities a long time ago and knowledge of Gnosticism was lost to the world until the discovery of the Gnostic gospels.)

BLUE PILL

Death.

nothing more than having seen a another somewhat annoying Hollywood production.

Answer 11

by evolving many millions of years you learn to meditate and transcend the matrix. the matrix can never be escaped forever. when you die, you go out of the matrix for a moment, but then you go back.

Answer 12

Read your Bible it tells you how to get out of everything, or get thru it. Did you know that lady they went to ask if he was the one. The oracle that's in the Bible! But of course I have been there so long, why in h**l would I want to get out,, it's fun!~

Answer 13

absence of a usual thinking patterns...as it had been created , in reverse it should be uncreated.

Answer 14

There are answers to this in everything around you. Be as the trees, the winter comes and they care not for it nor wish against it. Be as the birds they sing in the morning without thought for the morn. Be as a newborn for they know no form but have it and know only thier need and do not want in excess. Become empty of yourself and do not desire, for in letting self go you let go of wanting and can do well for others.

Answer 15

Don't go in at all!  Take the blue pill. I beg you!
