Conclusion of Part II
– Our entire life in the Matrix is like a flight on an imaginary plane from point “A” to point “B.” On the other side, in the window, lies Hell — the System. The successful completion of our journey (that is, a safe landing at the airport of the new reality) depends on many factors. One of the main and foremost factors is that during the entire process, we must not be mere extras: simple, ordinary passengers. Our duty is to try not to fall asleep during the “flight” under any circumstances, as it is akin to death. One must live with “wide-open eyes,” constantly analyzing and filtering everything happening in the Matrix thru his inner, “non-systemic filter”.
However, in seeking various ways to escape the Matrix, one should not resort to extremes. Public intercourse, for example, is also, in a way, an exit from the System, a protest against its morals and foundations. However, the value of this experience (if it is used by everyone and everyplace) is, to put it mildly, questionable. With the same success, one could argue that the ancient Greeks, who praised their god Dionysus and held orgies in his honor, also left the Matrix during their carnal pleasures. Which, of course, was far from truth: the Greeks simply indulged their base, animal instincts, doing so in an atmosphere of celebration and permissiveness, thereby praising their gods. To step outside the System is to play by different rules. However, playing by your own rules does not mean creating chaos.
The Matrix for an “awakened” person is like a suitcase without a handle: it’s hard to carry because you understand and realize the entire uselessness of the burden, and you can’t just throw it away because we are so integrated into this coordinate system that you can’t just lower the lifeboat and sail away into the blue distance. But that doesn’t mean you should give up and not even try to fight. It is necessary to fight. Everywhere, always, constantly. In any mood and state of soul, mind, and body. Undoubtedly, this struggle may last for more than one generation and have different outcomes at various stages of the process, but that is not the main point. The main thing is that in our lives, absolutely everything… I emphasize, ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING must be subordinated to exiting the Matrix.
Step-by-step, purposeful, and deliberate actions to undermine the functioning of the Systemic colossus. Right now, from the outside, it might look like Gulliver being besieged by Lilliputians (like in a well-known tale) and, without a doubt, provoke laughter from the System’s agents. But when there are too many of these “Lilliputians”… too many to ignore, then the Matrix, I think, won’t find it funny anymore.
It is important to remember that the struggle against the System is not only active resistance to it. This includes the ability to disguise oneself well and hide one’s true intentions from the agents of the Matrix: this skill must be constantly developed. That is, going beyond the System implies not so much an open struggle with the so-called “brotherhood of darkness” and the “sleepers,” but rather a developed underground network (which will constantly be replenished with new members) of people united by a common, noble goal. A kind of guerrilla struggle against all this agent-based, systemic filth.
It is important to understand that this is the only way we will definitively and irrevocably defeat the System: by gradually undermining its foundation built on bones, lies, fear, wasted time, vast sums of money, constant manipulation, and deceit. We will accelerate universal progress and the advent of the “golden age”: an era of harmony, freedom, high art, the absence of dirty politics, wars, global terrorism, and various kinds of religious strife.
Yes, it may not be paradise, the image of which is vividly described in various religions, nor even close to Buddhist Nirvana. Let everything said above sound somewhat utopian in my rendition, I am still convinced that sooner or later the age of universal harmony will come. This will be a great, qualitative leap forward for humanity. A leap into deep space, many parsecs away. Into the cosmos of knowledge, total self-realization, love, beauty, and spiritual fulfilment of life.

“Stepping outside the System is not an open, destructive war. It is the creation of an underground, far-reaching network of free people united by a single noble goal.”
