"If you want to see something, open your eyes. If you want to know something, close your eyes." _Ramtha

The Teacher will come when the Student is ready.

so true... and so easy to forget. i often wonder how I could ever stop doing something that feels so good, so right but then am reminded (re-minded) that I wouldn't even recognize it if I didn't know it's opposite. so i once again try to love all that is. _scotty reed 5/19/2011

Every great advance in natural knowledge has involved the absolute rejection of authority.
- Thomas H. Huxley

Morpheus: I know *exactly* what you mean. Let me tell you why you're here. 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. Do you know what I'm talking about?

Neo: The Matrix. Morpheus: Do you want to know what it is?

Neo: Yes. Morpheus: The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It 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. Into a prison that you cannot taste or see or touch. A prison for your mind.

''Neo, sooner or later you're going to realize just as I did that there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.''
__Morpheus: The Matrix
