The Third Eye is the title of a book published in December 2006 The Third Eye (The Mother of the Matrix, Volume 1) (Hardcover), published 2006-12-01. (ISBN 0978539648)

Hm.. It has eventually been published. Has anyone read it?

amazon.com...

Quote:

I read this book when my bro gave me his copy. It doesn't seems like star wars ripped off Sophia's story more than the matrix. There are no intelligent robots ruling the earth. There is no matrix in which people are unknowingly imprisoned. The only thing I can find that seems similar is that main character is prophesied to become "The One" and save the earth. Everything else besides that is completely different and feels more like starwars to me.

Quote:

Since reading "The Third Eye" I am now convinced that Sophia Stewart wrote The Terminator and The Matrix. I was very skeptical at first because I am a die hard Matrix and Terminator fan, especially a die hard Matrix fan; but after reading this book I know her work was stolen from her. All they did was split her epic story into two different stories. The Terminator being the first part, where a woman is pregnant with the "One" who is to save humanity, and the Matrix being the second part where the "One" has a spiritual awakening, comes into the knowledge of himself and ends up saving all of humanity. I was also shocked to read how Sophia was the one who created the idea of the virtual image; in The Third Eye the rebels were physically on the ship, but they projected a virtual image of themselves in a different location to fight the oppressors... Just like in the Matrix. Not to mention all the physical evidence that's in the book. Like letters from FOX and the WB (proving they received her story while she was shopping it around), original copyrights, and there's a part in the book where the FBI clearly shows how the Matrix and Terminator are almost identical to The Third Eye. Sophia Stewart is definitely the writer of The Matrix and The Terminator.

Warning: this may contain plot spoilers. While there are some similarities, such as the main character being destined to obtain the power of a God and become a messiah, and saving humanity. etc. etc. This book is completely different from the matrix. This book takes place mostly in outerspace. Machines DO NOT control the earth. Instead an evil alien sent expelled from his home planet rules earth. There is no matrix in which the people are kept from the truth. They know they are slaves to the system, but cannot help it unless they want to starve. I am really dissapointed that I paid $100 +S/H for this book which took way over a year to get to me... only to find out it has almost nothing in common with the matrix.

I read a good chunk of it from Princess Weishu's (sp?) site. It wasn't very good. Really badly written (I thought).

But is it the same story? I don't mean plot progression, and setting ("robots taking over the earth"). I mean spiritual awakening (increasing of consciousness and then awareness) and saving the human race and other basic similarities on that order.

Okay, I'll have to check it out. I just thought that since the name of the book is "The Third Eye", that there would be more about expansion of consciousness, which is a MAJOR theme of the movies.

Edit: I find it interesting that the comments on the link gauge similarities on things like robots, a computer-related simulation, and ships with technology to projects one's consciousness and neglect some of the themes that the two works may or may not have in common. Don't get me wrong the setting items are important, but not to overlook the more thematice elements.

I'm sure it's different from the one that can be found on "princess" site.

That's because Sophia said a billion of times that both The Terminator & The Matrix (films that are about a war between Man and Machine) coppied her book and she explained how the John Connor [ JC - another messiah! ] guy at her book later becomes the Neo guy.

And the final book doesn't even mention machines?

What makes you sure? It's the same cover as the one that the Princess offered. Why would the publishers of the Amazon book use the Princess's cover unless it was her book?

edit: The new website (www.sophiaoracle.com) also offers the book for the same price as the old one ($100). And notice that the pictures of Sophia don't match very well (they look like several different women). I find it unlikely that this is the "real" Sophia Stewart's site.

edit 2: Also notice on the Amazon listing, the pictures section includes pictures from the Wachowski films and a picture of Arnold as the Terminator. If this were a legitimate book, those pictures would have to be legally purchased for use. It seems unlikely that the WB would license their use to someone who'd just sued them. So this book is an underground "made at home" thing. Doesn't mean it's not Sophia's, but if there were a "real" Sophia, don't you think a real publisher would jump at the chance to publish what she had to offer if for no other reason then to sop up some money from the media hype?

You confused me!

I'm talking about the script/book/manuscript/draft/screenplay that can be found here: gnosticmatrix.com...

~~~ Well, it could be found, because the link doesn't work anymore. (at least for me)

Are you talking about the same thing?

I've seen the cover that can be seen at the amazon link I gave you 1.000.000 times before on many different sites some years ago...

I'm sure that the princess is not the first person that used this cover and Amazon didn't copy it from her.

I read a couple of pages of the actual manuscript [and these pages were the only ones that could be found online] and it was completely different that the princess' one.

Also read this: playahata.com...

Quote:

Playahata.com: Lets go over a few striking similarities between your manuscript and the movie, you have the Character Named Icon which can be translated to the one sacred persona, I means first and we all know that the name Neo is a anagram for the word One and in the movie they call him “The One” and he is a sacred personage. What other similarities from characters in your book and the Matrix can you tell us about?

Quote:

Sophia Stewart: I have what’s called a character analysis sheet, that profiles all of my characters and all mostly all the matrix characters have parallels of my people. In my work I had illustrations and logo’s to compare them with also. The FBI investigators used this to establish things. Icon gets blinded and the gold light comes out of his eyes, Neo has the same experience. I can show you the page and all of that in my book. Icon’s human side dies and he is reborn and Neo’s human side dies and he is reborn, Icon comes into spiritual power and Neo comes into spiritual power. I have the old gypsy hag and they have the Oracle they work in the same capacity. In "Third Eye" my character Trafeeny has been renamed Trinity ,Vashtar is renamed Morpheus, X’sers is Apock (sp) , Un becomes Cypher, Sona is Switch, Treve is Mouse, That is straight theft no real creativity even in their theft. I have the three levels of authority which was 3 guys that could pass their power off to each other - they all become one man that is the three agents. In my book I have The Dome which is a hidden city above the earth they have Zion which is a hidden city below the Earth. I have the Guardians they have the Sentinels.

But the names of the characters at the princess site were completely different.

EDIT

I wasn't able to find other readers' comments at the web or a torrent of the book. I strongly believe that Sophia will never have the success that she dreamed of and very few people will read the book.

So was I.

I only really saw it connected with the Princess's site myself, but that it was used by many people to be "the cover" for their Third Eye manuscripts only emphasizes that the Amazon book is not valid. Real publishers do not let authors pick the covers.

I've seen half a dozen "actual" manuscripts. Which one are you refering to?

But the playhata interview is just one of several interviews with the "real" Sophia Stewart that popped up back then. And they all contradicted each other. What does that prove about the Amazon book?

The one that I'm talking about is the only one that I've found [with the exception of the princess']. And -if I remember well- it used the same names that Sophia talked about at playhata.

When amazon posts a pic of the cover of a book is it necessary to post the real one? --I know that sometimes e-shops may upload not the actual pictures of the product but concept art, or pics of test samples etc. Maybe the same thing happens with books too?

Well, looking at it more, it looks like this isn't even Amazon's baby. You're not buying it from them, you're buying from a seller listing on them (that seller has the handle sophiastewart10). Which means this book ain't published. It's a home grown piece.

The "real" manuscript would probably be able to attract the interest of a real publisher. Anyone with a laser printer could offer a comparable product through Amazon.
