I watched “Edge of Tomorrow” with Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt
tonight.
An average action/Sci-Fi movie, but the reason I found it interesting
was the concept of
“Live, Die, and Repeat”.
This is actually how our reality and life works. You can
choose a Buddhist view, or do as me; believe in infinite parallel realities,
experiencing one viewpoint and timeline at the time.
In the movie Tom’s character had the ability to remember and
build upon previous life experience to figure things out.
We (by our own divine
design) chose to start with a blank slate when we got here. Frustrating at
times, but this way probably contributes to more growth, expansion and fun in
the end.
If you slow down one day, like you could every day, and
become aware of what’s happening around you and inside you,
you’ll notice
plenty small clues and hints to guide you along the way.
Call it intuition, aha-moments, glimpses of peace, feelings
of connection and love, seeing the back-end of the Matrix, and understanding
that there really are no ‘others’ here – it’s all you.
There is an excellent scene in the film
“The Game” by David
Fincher.
It’s the highlight moment where Van Orton (Michael Douglas) stumbles
into a canteen full of all of the people he’s been interacting with in the two
hour running time that preceded it.
That’s the point where Van Orton realizes that all those
interactions were a scripted part of the game he was part of. They were all
just extras playing roles to give him the experience he searched for.
The equivalent scene in The Matrix would be when Neo sees
the code for the first time and understands that he can access reality on the
level of source code.
