I have heard of this film too and consider

it contains an interesting view about life.

It's fun Hollywood decided to go ahead with both

these film ideas.

 

There are also the Japanese Noh plays, many

of which are set in a bardo after the dreamer

or main character has died, sort of an

enactment of energies from the physical life

of the main character played out in the mind in

the bardo.

 

There is also another interesting and quite

good film around, called

The Thin Red Line. It's actually a war film,

set in the South Pacific in 1942.

When I went to see it, I had not expected to

hear lines such as "Now I will rest

in my soul and see through its eyes and

listen to its ears" and was thoroughly surprised.

The director has also gone to great lengths

to allude, by the help of visuals and text

that god is

everywhere in nature and man, even though both

man and nature seems and acts terrible.

It is a quite violent movie, however, but

never pointless in its displays of violence.

It's one of the few films describing an

idea of non-duality I have ever seen.

>inside a drama... Does this suit your Matrix >definition? :-)

 

Oh very much so.

Drama within a drama.

 

The world enacted out in front of the

receiving consciousness / mind

seems like a theater play or a movie, because

as soon as dreams start up, the images

and other sense impressions look

almost the same. )

 

The word "Matrix" has the same root

meaning as the word "Mother".

 

Best regards,

 

Amanda.
