Our own readiness and circumstances.
In The Matrix, when Morpheus tells Neo that "many are not ready to unplug from the system," he is speaking to a profound truth about human nature, which reflects both the story's fictional world and the real-life metaphysical condition of society. The "system" in The Matrix is a metaphor for the Illusion—an artificial construct designed to control and subdue humanity by giving them a false sense of reality, much like how many live today trapped in the illusions of society, unable or unwilling to see beyond the veil of lies, manipulation, and control.
Morpheus understands that, for many, the comfort of the system is preferable to the unsettling and often painful process of awakening to truth. People have become conditioned, through years—sometimes generations—of indoctrination, to accept the world as it is presented to them. To unplug from this system is to face a harsh, sometimes unbearable, reality that everything they thought was real is, in fact, a lie. This requires courage, a willingness to embrace discomfort, and most importantly, the readiness to let go of what one thought to be the truth.
Morpheus also knew that those still plugged into the system are often its most ardent defenders. Why? Because the system has become their identity. Their sense of self, their beliefs, their values—all are tied to the illusions and constructs of that system. To threaten it is to threaten everything they hold dear. For many, it is easier to defend the system than to confront the possibility that they have been deceived.
Defending the System: A Psychological Reaction
When Morpheus says that "many will fight to protect it," he's speaking to a psychological truth: cognitive dissonance. When presented with information that contradicts deeply held beliefs, people experience discomfort. Instead of questioning the belief or the system itself, they will often reject the new information to protect their ego and sense of security. This is why people who are still plugged into the system will vehemently defend it, even when evidence suggests that it is corrupt, failing, or based on lies.
For those who are not ready to unplug, the system represents safety, order, and familiarity. It's the comfortable prison of the mind, and to face the truth would mean losing not only this sense of safety but also their role within the system. The Illusion provides them with structure and predictability, and they will fight to preserve it, even at the cost of their freedom and truth.
Clinging to the Illusion in Today’s World
In today’s world, this concept is strikingly relevant. The system can represent various elements of modern society—political ideologies, economic structures, societal norms, and even religious dogma. Those who cling to the system often do so out of fear, ignorance, or a desire for control. The system, through media, education, and government institutions, programs people from an early age to accept it as reality. It offers a narrative: if you work hard, follow the rules, and accept your place within it, you will succeed, be happy, and fulfilled. But we know this is not true for everyone.
The awakening process requires breaking away from these narratives and questioning the very foundation of what is accepted as truth. This is the essence of Hermeticism—the practice of questioning the surface to find the deeper truths hidden beneath. However, those who cling to the system will often ridicule, attack, or ostracize anyone who dares question its authority. Why? Because to question it is to question the very fabric of their own reality.
Unplugging: A Difficult but Necessary Process
Unplugging from the system, much like in The Matrix, is a metaphor for waking up from the collective dream that has been sold to the masses. It's about peeling back the layers of illusion to see the world as it truly is, rather than how we’ve been told to see it. Yet, this process is not easy. It involves dismantling years of conditioning and societal programming. It means facing uncomfortable truths about the world and, more importantly, about ourselves.
For those ready to unplug, the journey is one of liberation—of freedom from the mental and spiritual bondage that the system imposes. But for many others, the fear of the unknown, the discomfort of confronting deep-seated beliefs, and the pain of letting go of long-held illusions are too overwhelming.
The Nature of the Matrix as a Metaphor for Control
In the context of Hermetics, the system represents more than just societal control—it represents the materialistic, limited, and external focus that keeps people trapped in ignorance of their true nature as divine consciousness. The system fosters division, fear, and separation. It teaches people to focus on external validation, material success, and power over others. But in truth, as Hermetics teaches, we are all connected, and the real power lies in knowing and mastering the self.
To unplug from the system means to transcend these lower, ego-driven desires and awaken to the deeper spiritual truths that govern the universe. It’s about recognizing that the external world is but a reflection of the internal state. When we unplug, we reclaim our sovereignty and align ourselves with the higher principles of wisdom, truth, and love.
But those who cling to the system remain blind to this truth, often because the system rewards conformity and punishes deviation. They see anyone who unplugs as a threat, not because those individuals are dangerous, but because they challenge the false security the system provides.
Defending the Illusion: The Role of Fear
The strongest weapon of the system is fear—fear of the unknown, fear of losing status, fear of being wrong. This fear causes people to defend the illusion vehemently. They project this fear outward, attacking anyone who threatens to disrupt the illusion they’ve built their lives upon. This is why Morpheus says they will fight to protect it. They are not fighting for the system because they believe in it—they fight because they fear what lies beyond it. They fear the truth.
In Hermetic philosophy, fear is rooted in ignorance, and the antidote to fear is knowledge—gnosis, the direct experience of truth. When one begins to see beyond the Illusion, the fear starts to dissolve. The system’s control weakens because its power lies in keeping people in the dark, disconnected from their true essence. Those who cling to it do so not because the system serves them, but because they do not know who they are without it.
Moving Beyond the System
For those who have unplugged or are in the process of doing so, it is crucial to remember that not everyone is ready. Much like Neo, we must navigate the world with the awareness that many are still prisoners of their own minds, held captive by the Illusion. But the task is not to force anyone to awaken; rather, it is to continue living in truth, as beacons of light, planting seeds for those who are ready to see beyond the veil.
Morpheus’s words hold an eternal truth: many are not ready to unplug because they are not ready to face the chaos of the real world, where their perceptions, beliefs, and identities must be reexamined. And those who cling to the system will continue to defend it until they find the courage to look beyond it.

There are those who remain deeply entangled within the system, bound to its narrative like agents of the Matrix itself. They are not always aware of their role, but they repeat the same script with uncanny precision—using key words and phrases as if by design. You will hear them echo words like felon, convicted, Agenda 2025, dictator, Russian interference, and many others, as if their minds are programmed to respond in unison. Like parrots, they mimic what they’ve been taught, repeating it without question.
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.
The best course is not to engage. Walk past them with calm and clarity. Do not allow their venom to penetrate your peace or shake your inner knowing. They feed on reaction—deny them that power. Preserve your energy for those who seek truth with open hearts, for it is they who are ready to awaken.
Remember: Your awareness is your shield. Move through the Illusion without becoming entangled in it. Their words are hollow echoes of a system that is crumbling. Stay free, and in your freedom, you light the path for others to follow.
For those who take the blue pill and defend the system, who love the life they have, have well-adjusted children, great relationships with their friends and family, enjoy financial success and live a spiritual, if not religious, life, what is the message you would want them to take from this post?
Thank you for raising such a thoughtful and insightful question. It’s a profound point you bring up about individuals who seem well-adjusted and fulfilled while remaining deeply embedded in the system.
In the context of The Matrix, when Morpheus speaks of people not being ready to unplug, he touches on a universal truth about human nature and the nature of our societal constructs. For many, the system provides a semblance of stability and contentment—a life that seems to work, with secure relationships, financial success, and a sense of spiritual, if not religious, fulfillment. To these individuals, the system isn’t just a backdrop but a framework that supports and sustains their well-being.
Yet, the essence of Morpheus’s message is not to devalue the comfort and success that these individuals experience. Rather, it’s to recognize that the system they live within is not the ultimate reality but a construct that shapes their perception of it. This construct is designed to maintain the status quo and keep people from questioning deeper truths about existence, freedom, and self.
The Comfort of the System:
For those who are content within the system, the idea of questioning or unplugging may seem unnecessary or even threatening. They are living a life that meets their needs and desires, and the system, in its own way, seems to serve them well. However, the message here isn’t about criticizing their contentment but about acknowledging that the system’s influence extends beyond mere survival and success. It shapes perceptions and values, often subtly, and can obscure the deeper truths of human experience and potential.
The Illusion of Security:
The illusion of security that the system provides can be comforting, but it also has its limitations. The matrix offers a veneer of stability while subtly reinforcing the boundaries of what is considered possible or true. For some, recognizing this might require a willingness to face uncomfortable truths and uncertainties—something that can be daunting even if their lives seem outwardly perfect.
The Role of Awareness:
The message to take from this post is not necessarily to abandon or disrupt the lives of those who are content within the system, but rather to understand that there is a broader reality that may not be immediately visible or necessary to confront for everyone. For some, awakening to this reality might be a gradual process, and the focus should be on nurturing awareness and understanding rather than imposing change.
Living as a Beacon:
Those who have begun to unplug and see beyond the system can serve as beacons of possibility and truth. It’s about embodying and living these deeper truths in a way that gently invites others to explore beyond their current perceptions, without forcing or demanding it. The journey of awakening is personal and often unfolds in its own time, and each individual's readiness to confront these truths is unique.
The Balance of Understanding:
In essence, the goal is not to undermine the fulfillment or success that individuals within the system experience but to encourage a broader awareness that acknowledges both their current reality and the potential for a deeper understanding of existence. This balanced perspective respects the comfort of those who are well-adjusted while gently opening the door to the possibility of exploring greater truths that lie beyond the system’s confines.
Thank you again for your thought-provoking question. It’s a reminder that the journey of awakening is as diverse as humanity itself, and each person’s path unfolds according to their own readiness and circumstances.
I think some people just don’t fit into the matrix, some people live wonderfully in the matrix and some do not.. I used to have a 9-5, I made good money, and lived safe and comfortably.. but it didn’t fit me at all, I quit my job and it was hard! I was homeless for awhile. But now I have a family and a small homestead, and while it’s a lot of work. I feel a lot more fulfilled.. we definitely don’t live like most people do, we don’t watch tv, we don’t have gaming consoles, or a computer.. just 2 cell phones to keep in contact with one another and family. We don’t go to the grocery store anymore since we sustain ourselves from home.. idk if that’s still apart of the matrix or not.. but we are definitely much happier
The deeper truth alluded to is that the matrix is a complete lie.
A Complete and total lie, as everything built by the matrix is about greed and control and nothing is about health and safety.
You believe you’re comfortable and happy because you’ve been programmed by the blue screen lies of the matrix . . . .
More specifically for example, All white stuff is poison. This is very intentional by GMO design, because all the Black people want white stuff. White sugar, white flour, white pasta, white cereals, white milk, white eggs, white white, white poison, poison poison, and all the white seed oils. There’s no real corn or soy left in the US. It’s all GMO’s all the flour and sugar are intentionally designed GMO poisons too.
MOST all diseases are completely man-made by these poisons. For example the death sentence for cancer patients, is staying in the hospital, where they feed you ice cream and processed foods, (white stuff) which actually promote cancer growth. Death and dying is very profitable (U$A always invests in war = profit for greed machine) with no investments in cures, treatments can bring decades of profits
As perplexing as this might sound. I even met a previous employer who gave me condolences when my mom died of cancer. He was the manager of the department when I was working in Hillsborough County. He told me that when he lost his son to cancer he joined the cancer society, to become president of the local chapter in Tampa Bay. But then he QUIT as he found all their fundraising could only support “treatment research,” primarily radiation and chemotherapies, (that both actually cause cancer) but NEVER funding CURE research.
Many deceptions of the greed machine are hidden in legal files. For example, I found this one court case where a team of lawyers were ACTIVELY trying to STOP a Chinese company that was exporting fish. The case was ongoing with countless claims to stop the company from exporting fish. As I dug into it more, I discovered that it wasn’t a fishing company or a farmer, but a factory. They had this plastic byproduct that looked, smelled, and cooked like fish. It was their waste stream that they were exporting as fish, but it was completely plastic. Nothing the lawyers did could prevent them from exporting more fish, there was always a loophole or work around supporting cash sales! I was completely dumbfounded that people are eating plastics all the time as China exports their waste.
To my surprise this is a very common practice in the greed machine. Plastics themselves are a waste byproduct from the oil refinery to make gasoline for cars. Then the fluoride in our water systems is another waste byproduct from the steel and phosphate industries. Nothing to do with better teeth, that’s all industry propaganda or greed funded “cigarette science!” Where cigarette science, is essential industry propaganda where a professor is paid to publish research that only confirms what the industry wants you to believe.
I even found the original study for ALUMINUM in the FDA, concluding that toxic levels, with typical American use of aluminum, would not happen until age 45, with the loss of eyesight. Yes, pure AL has never been on Earth before, so no life deals with it and your human body just collects it in your glands to toxic levels. But with typical use, it is not toxic until age 45, so no one will ever be able to directly link the toxicity to any disease.
Sorry, the poison GMO white stuff is only the beginning, there’s no nutrition left IN most of the produce sold today. The soil has been destroyed that creates all the vitamins. Pretty red apples and vetables are really toxic time bombs. Clean the fruit IN tapwater actually cleans the water where the fruit collects chlorine, and fluoride to kill you quicker.
