powerful day to then I added a zero

Thank You Jesus Christ for Creating The Way of Your Word!

Yes I love your surprise visits: https://www.intouch.org/listen/radio/gods-surprise-visits-part-2

What have you been working on 

I guess it's all about your Word! I know that is nothing new, but I get a sense about more than ever. Each day I've been getting more focused with my prayers. I know it is all about "contemplative prayer" where I get this constant sense of conversation, discussion and exploration of what is before me and what I must prioritize for myself and my community. It's really about the direct experience of joy and peace that i know and share more each day. I always think that it is someone new in my space or my life that will help me to be who I really am.

What Sense of the Word came through today with your new guest Heysus. What was the real change and joy you had today?

I recognized that he understood and shared deeper insights about God and life that really resonated with my own understanding and knowledge. !

What was it that he said. 

He spoke about how the light and love of Jesus Christ flowed to is from the Sun and equally now from the Eucharist. Saying how God started it all with saying "let there Be Light." So God started it all with creating the SON! Where that first spark and first light, where all creation came from was with Jesus Christ and LIGHT!

What is so surprising about this. You have known this and repeated it over and over to people. 

I know only by your Word! And sharing and experiencing my joy in connection with others who understand is just remarkable. I always feel so blessed to hear someone explaining to me something that I've struggled to teach people. It's just wonderful, like maybe people are finally ready to learn and share the blessings that I can offer to them. Wow that was neat to feel it all fall into place.

What happened now?

I went into my airBnB experience and noticed it was set at $150/person . . . And so added Friday and Saturday events for the next few weeks. And then decided to increase it to $250 for another 5 or 6 weeks. This put me onto 12/21/2024 and I knew that was a powerful day to then I added a zero to the $/person. And extended that for the seven days of Christmas.

What popped into your head when you wrote this!   

I remembered the weekend with Carol. Wow

What else?

I sent this to Leslie who asked if I was ready for all this. . . 

I Love You Dearest Loving Lord Jesus Christ.

Please lend Your Strength, Love, & Wisdom for me to fulfill the Glory of Father, Son and Holy Ghost!

Amen

Our own readiness and circumstances.

The Matrix as a Metaphor for Human Nature and Societal Control

Morpheus’ statement to Neo, “many are not ready to unplug from the system,” captures a fundamental truth about human nature and societal dynamics. In The Matrix, the system is a metaphor for the Illusion—a false construct designed to control humanity. This parallels how people today live within societal illusions, shaped by media and institutional narratives, often unaware of the deeper layers of manipulation (Baudrillard, 1994).

Morpheus understands that many prefer the comfort of the system to the painful process of awakening. Years of conditioning lead people to accept reality as presented, and breaking free requires confronting uncomfortable truths. Cognitive dissonance, a psychological phenomenon, explains why people resist such awakenings: when faced with evidence that challenges their beliefs, they reject it to preserve their ego and sense of security (Festinger, 1957).

The system provides a false sense of security, much like the social, political, and economic systems that govern modern life (Marcuse, 1964). For many, confronting the reality behind these constructs is too daunting, so they defend the system—even when evidence suggests it is failing or corrupt (Chomsky, 2002).

Unplugging and Fear of Truth

Unplugging, as depicted in The Matrix, symbolized awakening from the collective illusions of society. It involves questioning long-held beliefs and rejecting the external, ego-driven values imposed by the system (Campbell, 2004). However, the system thrives on fear—fear of the unknown, fear of losing identity, and fear of being wrong (Fromm, 1941). This fear explains why people cling to the system, as it offers comfort in the familiar, even when built on lies (Foucault, 1977).

For those who have unplugged, the challenge is to navigate a world where many are still “plugged in.” Like Neo, they must understand that awakening cannot be forced; it must come from within (Plato, The Republic). Until individuals are ready to face the truth, they will continue defending the very system that binds them.

Understand this: engaging with them will only entangle you in their web of confusion, anger, and hate. These individuals are not yet ready to see beyond the Illusion, and as Morpheus wisely said, "many are not ready to be unplugged." They will defend the system because it is all they know, and in doing so, they reinforce the very matrix that binds them. Just as the agents are all connected, so too are these souls linked by their shared allegiance to the false reality.
