Introduction to Surfing The Matrix

We live in a Matrix. We come from The Matrix. We exist and have our being and develop within The Matrix. It is all around us, within us. In it we have our being. Yeah, Neo & Trinity made The Matrix a popular wordphrase in our common language, yet the word has deeper and far more ancient roots, as well as being a descriptor for how the planetary mind is controlling itself.

Here is what dictionary.com has to say about the roots and definitions of Matrix:

The Mother. The Womb. The parent stem. The information I will be posting, and the website I am building around this phrase will examine just what is going on in the development and nature of the matrix as we (humans) as a species become aware of our place and intimate connection to the matrix. I invite and welcome all to this space. I create this site with the intention of sharing information I find while surfing the web, the technological brain stem of the matrix externalizing itself. THe web that connects all. I see the internet as a natural expression and development of a world mind discovering itself at a faster and faster pace, attempting to build more efficient networks of communication in an attempt to realize itself as a unified aware being.

I have been wanting to start this project for some time now, and will be practicing my writing abilities, as well as learning how to manage this space. I thank you for joining me on this learning and becoming adventure

blessings and awareness of the being
