If you’re awake, you choose your fights for the joy of them.

If you’re asleep, they are chosen for you, and angst is the result.

Basically, Mark Passio has concerns, as do ALL people who are more or less asleep in the matrix. They feel (and cannot BUT feel) that the matrix is EVERYTHING (and rightly so).

“WE MUST LIVE. WE MUST BE FREE. WE MUST BE SAFE. LIFE MEANS SOMETHING. GET OFF YOUR ASS AND GET INVOLVED AND DO SOMETHING.”

WHEN YOU ARE ASLEEP IN THE MATRIX (you do not know it’s a matrix) WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU AND OTHERS IS CONCERNING, IS literally, EVERYTHING to you (which means it’s a very well done and believable production–as it should be).

Mark Passio’s prodding, “Dammit, do something!” and New Age, “Let’s just get along and be vegans,” ARE MATRIX CONSTRUCTS.

In other words, THE MATRIX is doing just fine. The pendulum of Matrix Life swings from passive to active, low to high, war to peace, destruction to construction, pleasure and pain, and so forth and whatever.

THE MATRIX HAS NO PROBLEMS. In the Matrix, people have problems with other people, just like people have problems with people in a movie or play (and if they didn’t, the productions wouldn’t be worth watching).

Mark Passio is doing the Matrix Dance (good on him). People fighting the system, or ignoring the system cannot but do what they do. Whether programmed to resist or to rest, or programmed for war or peace, it’s ALL Matrix Dance.

Imagine you are watching a movie or play and awakening out of your captivation, thrall, enchantment and fascination when your cell phone alarm goes off and you jump up and run out of the theater to put more money in your parking meter. Your alarm, broke the spell, and in a small way perhaps, ruined the production for you.

Imagine an actor, awakening every few minutes within a play or movie, and exclaiming, “It’s not REAL. I’m just an actor!” (going out of character during a scene pretty much ruins the scene).

SO, THE POINT IS, MARK PASSIO IS RIGHT, for Matrix Dancers.

NEW AGE, OLD AGE, ALL MATRIX (the swinging of the Matrix Pendulum).

When you can "enjoy" war and peace, and EVERYTHING ELSE in the matrix (just like you do when enjoying a good movie or play) you are AWAKE, and no longer do The Matrix Dance.

(NOTE: Unless you ARE LITERALLY AND ABSOLUTELY AWAKE, this article should piss you off). GOOD ON YOU.

SOUNDS KINDA WEIRD DOESN’T IT?
