When I saw the last Matrix movie, there were many times tears filled my eyes, because it brought a sense of peace that; I’m not crazy and I’m not alone on this Awakening Journey. It was a realization that the movie was a documentary of the journey out of the hell of duality or what I call the 3rd Dimension.
The Matrix-Hell-3rd Dimension or whatever we choose to call it, is the belief that this world and all that’s in it is reality, we are separate from God and everyone and that we are powerless humans. It’s the place where we unknowingly have an Egotistical Programmed Mind (E.P.M.) running our life.
That’s why I know the most important thing I can teach a student during our first session is; what they Truly are as a Divine being and about this E.P.M. to at least give them an awareness of it, just in case I never see them again. That way The Divine can use this information later in their life, when they are ready to awaken from the Matrix.
To exit the Matrix the first desire needs to be; “There’s got to be a better way!” This desire is birthed by decades of pain/suffering and a longing for peace.
The 2nd desire is; “I’m ready and willing to do whatever it takes to be happy and at peace!”
When some people come and learn about the Path of Awakening and what’s required of them, they walk away. Which is completely understandable, it’s not for the faint of heart. It’s much easier to take the Blue Pill and remain the same.
Therefore no offense is taken or rejection felt from these people but rather; love, compassion and empathy and a knowing that they’ll find the path when they are ready.
Understanding the Matrix; that most people are asleep in it and can only come out of it when they are ready, brings a tremendous peace for awakened teachers of not having the responsibility to awaken others. In fact, we can’t awaken them. If we try we only hurt them and ourselves. Therefore, we go about life living on two planes of consciousness (Awareness of the Matrix, while playing a role in it) along with making ourself available to help those on the Awakening Path.
One of the biggest things many awakening beings will experience, is awakening before their partner does and they struggle with how to navigate that. Here is what I’ve learned about partners on two planes of consciousness trying to co-habitat.
Partners On Two Different Planes of Consciousness
The first thing that will be experienced when one partner is awakening and the other is not, will be disagreements and a recognition of different desires. In the movie; The Shift, Dr. Wayne Dyer shares the desires men and women have before and after The Shift (Awakening from the Matrix) takes place.
Men’s Desires Before The Shift:
Wealth-Adventure-Achievement-Pleasure-Be Respected
Men’s Desires After The Shift:
Spirituality – Personal Peace – Family – God’s Will – Honesty
Women’s Desires Before The Shift:
Family – Independence – Career – Fitting In – Attractiveness
Women’s Desires After The Shift:
Own Personal Growth – Self Esteem – Spirituality – Happiness – Forgiveness
It is possible to have a great relationship where partners are on two different planes of consciousness.
If the one who is not ready to leave the Matrix, chooses to stay in the relationship and they are not intentionally harming the awakening one, they can continue with the relationship. In fact when the awakening one, helps their partner with their struggles in the Matrix, this brings opportunities to grow in; awareness, patience, understanding and unconditional love.
This loving response without any agenda to make their partner awaken or change, can bring about an incredible bond.
If they are harming the awakening one, then boundaries will need to be put in place for their Egotistical Programmed Mind. If those boundaries continue to be crossed, then following The Divine’s guidance, they may need to part ways! Which can be very painful and guidance from a Spiritual Coach/Counselor would be greatly encouraged.
If You Are Ready
If you are ready to exit or awaken from the Matrix, seek out those who have blazed the trail such as; Wayne Dyer, Ram Dass, Eckhart Tolle, and Byron Katie or read books like A Course In Miracles, The Power of Now, and I Can See Clearly Now.
The Journey of Awakening takes a lot of humility, questioning everything you’ve believed, forgiveness and surrendering attachments to beliefs, people and things.
It takes a great deal of courage and tenacity and it’s completely understandable if you don’t feel ready.
But even if you are not ready to dive into the awaken journey, what you can start doing to alleviate the pain/suffering, is to simply start watching your thoughts and labeling them; Past – Future – Them – Me and then drop the thoughts instead of believing them. That’s when you’ll begin to see the programming and it will bring about a great deal of Awareness, which is the key and first step out of the Matrix.
