understanding:
THE NON-DUALITY MESSAGE OFFERED IN FILM
From "The Matrix" 
"Within
the prison of your world appears a man who tells you that the world of painful
contradictions, which you have created, is neither continuous nor permanent and
is based on a misapprehension. He pleads with you to get out of it, by the same
way by which you got into it. You got into it by forgetting what you are and
you will get out of it by knowing yourself as you are." 
"Do
not try to bend the spoon. It is not the spoon that bends. It's the self that
bends." 
"Now
he is starting to believe. There is a difference between knowing about the Path
and walking the Path."
"You're
here because you know something. What you know, you can't explain. But you feel
it. You've felt it your entire life. That there's something wrong with the
world. You don't know what it is, but it's there - like a splinter in your
mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to
me." 
Morpheus:
"The Matrix is the world that has been pulled over your eyes, to blind you
from the truth." 
Neo:
"What truth?" 
Morpheus:
"That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else, you were born into bondage,
born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch. A prison . . . for
your mind. Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is - you have to
see it for yourself." 
Neo:
"What are you doing?" 
Morpheus:
"Your muscles have atrophied. We're rebuilding them." 
Neo:
"Why do my eyes hurt?" 
Morpheus:
"You've never used them before." 
"Your
appearance now is what we call residual self-image. It is the mental
projection."

Here,
 with those who are still driven to talk about "god," the "Son of god," 
the "Holy Spirit," "Buddha," "Krishna," etc., etc., etc., the invitation
 to them is to view those as verbs, not nouns.
THE EXPLANATION
If
 looked at as nouns, they point to illusions and are, therefore, a total
 waste of time to even discuss; if looked at as verbs which are 
resulting in certain sane but rare behaviors among humanity, then they 
are worthy of some attention during the relative existence.
Meaning?
 There are members of certain groups who say things such as "My concept 
of god in the past was of a weak god, an absentee god, A Santa 
Claus-type god, a mean, punishing, vindictive god, etc. Today, I am in 
close contact with a loving and caring god whom I worship and praise and
 glorify and give thanks to."
The
 reply to that usually goes like this: "If you are in contact with a god
 that wants to be worshipped and praised and glorified, then you're 
dealing with someone like yourself - a narcissist - and hanging out with
 narcissists will never bring an end to your narcissism (that narcissism
 evidenced by the fact that you think you are "godly").
Next,
 in the phrase 'loving and caring god,' any supposed god that truly had 
her or his act together would tell you that the totally irrelevant part 
of that phrase is 'god' and that the only part that is relevant is the 
"loving and caring" part.
"That
 is, a non-narcissistic their god / their goddess would say, "I care not
 an iota about being worshipped and praised and glorified by you or 
anyone else. How arrogant and insecure and needy would I have to be to 
want that? Forget the man-made, dreamed up noun 'god' and focus on the 
'god as a verb' understanding and then go forth and let loving and 
caring be verbs - not adjectives - and let them generate the act of love
 and the act of caring and let those actions manifest through you." 
Yeshu'a (Jesus) and Pope John Paul II and Pope Francis were spot on:
"No one shall ever see 'the kingdom of heaven.' It is within"
 
--Yeshu'a (Jesus)
and 
"Heaven and earth shall fade away."
--Yeshu'a (Jesus)
and 
"Heaven and hell are not geographic places
but are states of mind, nothing more than
concepts dreamed up by men."
--Pope John Paul II 
"There is no hell."
--Pope Francis, the current pope
in an interview with journalist Eugenio Scalfari,
a writer used by the Pope to issue off the record
teachings which become a part of the Papal Magisterium. 
[That
 said, would that the popes who have shown the courage to reject a core 
concept of their dogma - namely, "hell" - would find the additional 
courage required to question the very existence of their institution in 
light of the centuries-long cover-up of their history of raping children
 and in light of the mental and emotional and psychological scarring of 
billions of their members past and present.
And
 that need for courage also applies as questions need to be asked about 
why so many other sky cults are still being supported and allowed to 
continue to exist as well. When certain types of programming and 
conditioning have been shown to blind the masses, they should end. Will 
they? Not likely. Why?
Because
 what the masses think and say and do is most influenced by the 
international crime families which hold sway over the masses as 
criminals conduct their planet-wide operations. What are the major 
international crime families and which are the most influential and have
 the largest memberships?
The
 Mafia / La Cosa Nostra; the Catholic Church (with it 1.2 billion 
followers) whose Vatican Bank worked for decades with the Mafia while 
laundering mob earnings (for a 15% all-profit charge by the Bank); 
Protestant and Evangelical Churches (with over 1.2 billion followers) 
like the one I was raised in where the youth director molested and 
sexually assaulted young girls; big business which has long created 
environments in which people have been abused; powerful political bodies
 like the U.S. Congress, etc., etc., etc.)
With
 all of those crime families, neither the followers nor the leadership 
ever voluntarily step down or shut down their criminal activities. Be 
they gangs, organized crime families, religions, big business, 
politicians, etc., they all want control and they all want power and 
they all want money, and nothing internal will interfere with the 
driving forces at play.
The
 masses must demand that all those in  charge must step down and their 
groups and institutions must shut down, and there's the real problem 
because the continuation of their crimes are enabled not as much by the 
people running such crime organizations as they are enabled by the 
masses of people who - wanting some perceived "payoff" - remain involved
 with them and give them money and support them and aid and abet the 
continued existence of those criminal enterprises and thus facilitate 
the ability of church criminals and political criminals and other types 
of criminals to continue to commit their crimes.]
