Reality...

An interesting video I found on Youtube that I think you should see.


This video in a way brings me back to my childhood. When I was a young boy, maybe around the age of 7 or 8, I recall always wondering "What if the lives we live from day to day are really just dreams, and we're in the 'real world' waiting to wake up and see what life in the real world is like?" I would always ask my teachers this every year in elementary school, and all they would ever tell me was that "We should live life to its fullest then, I guess, right?" That answer never satisfied me. And then it was the year 1999 and Hollywood came out with the hit movie The Matrix. I was just a boy of 10 at the time, so naturally I didn't quite have the interest in seeing this movie; In fact my parents would watch it from time to time, but I never sat around when it was playing. I did, however, manage to see The Thirteenth Floor with my family. While I didn't understand everything that was going on at the time, I was amazed when I watched that movie because I thought to myself, "This is EXACTLY what I've been thinking about!" I let it rest for a few years after that (I don't know why), but when I got a little older I decided to sit down and watch The Matrix. Upon viewing the film, I suddenly remembered my childhood and I remembered that I had been thinking of something like this since before the movie ever came out... It got me thinking, well if I'm not the only one who's been thinking this then there has to be some sort of truth to it all, doesn't there? And now in the height of my spiritual growth, I realize that I was most definitely not just a little kid with a big imagination. Somehow, as a little kid, I had that knowledge in me. And I realize now that everything is true. It might not be exactly true in the same way that I was thinking when I was a kid, but it is true. This life that we live from day to day, it's just a dream. And our real selves and our friends and family members who have all woken up into their real lives are waiting for us. Reality as we know it is most definitely not what it seems anymore.... we have all been living a dream, and everything we have grown up learning has trained us to stay asleep in this "dream world"..... but times are changing and more and more people are waking up into this realization.... it's time you woke up too.
