All experiences take place in the present moment. What remains is the memory of the experience, and this is “stored” in emotion and in the body, like an echo—as a potential response to specific situations that are similar or identical to the original, primary experience.
Ancestral fear consists of the “sensation” that there is someone else… there—or perhaps there is no one, and that is why this fear arises: “If there is no one, what am I doing here? Who am I, and how do I exist? Why do I exist? What is THIS!?”It is the fear of annihilation, of the abyss, of dissolution.
The Matrix is built by and for those who live in this fear: ephemerality.
The apparent order provides a sense of comfort: “I exist; I am someone. I am SOMETHING.”
It is also the fear of all those who have “power” over… others: the fear of being, in fact, just like them… the others. It is the fear of being, in fact, insignificant - a speck of dust.All philosophies that gave rise to the entire victim-oppressor complex, to all empires, etc., were built upon this impression or sensation of being something or someone.
It is an anguish.
In reality, behind that “something” or “someone” lies nothingness—or, rather, that “someone” or “something” is built from nothingness.
All of history is based on this: the fear of the powerful of being nothing. That is why they have built a buffer zone within and through the consciousness of the masses. They’ve built a system that either reinforces self-importance or, conversely, powerlessness and victimhood… although the two can coexist just fine: you can have self-importance even in suffering—you’re a hero, you bear the cross, your suffering will matter! :)
They have created a bubble of consciousness—formed from the collective sensation of billions of beings—in which they are protected from their own fear.
However, this bubble has the consistency of a soap bubble, of a reflection in a mirror—nothing more.
The impression of durability comes from the stereotypical behavior of the masses, from the ritualistic repetition of the same patterns, millennia after millennia, generation after generation—identical behavior and “thinking”...
This protective bubble was built to shield the ego, the sense of self-importance. To avoid being pulled into nothingness, they have woven a web of traumas and false concepts within the “mind” and soul of every individual.
How does it work?If they give you the impression that “they” truly exist, then you yourself will build their bubble of comfort, simply through the attention you give them :))
That’s why they also instill in you false joys and victories, false sufferings and problems: not necessarily to feed off them or their results, but to keep you occupied, so that you keep their soap bubble afloat. Basically, to divert your energy and attention away from what’s truly essential and important.
Instead of using your energy creatively, for yourself, you waste it supporting their projects, their projections—propagated into your psyche—designed to create the impression of “natural” coherence: the system, the status quo—a drop in the bucket, or not even that… :)
Everything works on the principle of a mirror. Is what you see in the mirror real or not? It’s real because the “mind” decodes what it perceives in a certain way—not because that reflection, which has no substance, is something solid or concrete in and of itself. An image is projected onto the screen of your mind, and its reflection creates the sensation that it’s real—but it’s real only because you give it importance. In reality, it is nothingness dressed in finery, which you treat as an authority—you give it a substance it does not actually possess through your feelings and emotional involvement. You are trained and conditioned to behave and relate in a certain way to those insubstantial reflections. You are made to feel a certain way so that you see and perceive things not as they are, but according to a script.
