Matrix and thelema.
So who here still doesn't know about thelema?
Who wants to or even cares?
thelema is Greek for "will." Just as DesCartes believed the Hippocampus was the seat of the soul, enlightenment era physicians named the thalamus (meaning "bed chamber") after the seat of the will.
The thalamus acts holographically, projecting electrochemical impulses from multiple nerve centers to multiple nerve centers simultaneously through single cellular tissues.
While we're digging around in JFK's brain, the pineal gland is thought to be the ajna, or ureas, the mythical third eye. It projects a steady steam of electrochemical impulse through the thalami into the hippocampus, where it is used to regulate brainwaves and set the internal concept of time.
Now, if this flow is reversed, it leads to the projection external to the body of telekinetic potential, compacting probability curvatures and making a certain event more likely to occur. This is known in psychological terminology as manifestation.
Manifestation is the goal of thelema. According to Crowley, "magick is the science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with the will."
There is alot more to thelema than just this, of course, but this is one of the four corner stones, if not the key capstone itself, of the ontological temple of the orient.
What does this have to do with the Matrix?
Neo's powers are manifested potential inherent to anyone within a reality simulacrum that conforms to similar bio-physical standards as our own reality. Stopping bullets and flying are merely side-effects of a higher degree of mental control over the physics of the reality simulacrum system. The ultimate extension of this, as sought after by Crowley in his later days, is the ability to control the ebb and flow of time itself.
Crowley goes on to postulate that Magick is the science of understanding oneself and ones conditions. It is the art of applying that understanding in action. As anyone with even half a brain can tell you, this statement is the carefully considered combination of Hebrew QBLH with Nietzschean will to power. As Crowley's own work attests, he spent much of his life studying and trying to better understand the mechanisms underlying the force of time.
Now, as to liquid light: the speed of light in a vacuum is the standard measure for distance in space, which is synonymous with time. A single light year is the measure of distance and duration in our unified space-time continuum.
So, for light itself to be able to be slowed down to the speed of a bicycle is indeed a phenominal feat, and could even, by a stretch of the imagination, fit the definition of magic. It proves the prior speculation that time can be influenced by massive gravity or density, because time is relative to light, and light can be so influenced. Previously, it was known time could be warped, or bent, just like light rays from the sun being warped and bent around the moon during a solar eclipse. However now, with the advent of liquid light technology, we can SEE quite clearly that time itself can be slowed down and stopped.
I have much more to say on both the subjects of thelema and physics, but as I have written quite alot already, I'm sure you, my fellow posters, are eager to get back to making clever remarks about pentagrams and insulting one another's politics, so I will depart for the time being.
