"But now, that the "hurricane" is over, you're still a PRISONER of THEIR language, and can't find your way out of this MAZE. Like Alice, you are still in the rabbit-hole of THEIR Wonderland, which they try to sell to you as YOUR reality-to-be."
This kind of passages of the ebook were the ones that motivated me to write this commentary on it. The conclusion to which I have arrived about this sort of passages is that the authors have not written this book for jivanmukta persons who are reading it perhaps because they still are, unrighteously, being prosecuted as just another manipulable jivan (eternally condition soul). But I know, if one is a jivanmukta none of those thought implants, hypnotic suggestions, mind controls and mind programming will produce the desired effect.
One can be jivanmukta, but sometimes, specially in western countries, dealing with mental prosecutors that think one is still a manipulable jivan may turn somewhat disturbing and annoying. Regardless of those thought implants, hypnotic suggestions, mind controls and mind programming being actively recognized, fought and rejected by one.
For those who do not know what is a jivanmukta below are two definitions of it:
"Jivanmukta (Sanskrit) [from jiva living being + mukta freed] A freed jiva, a human being who has attained freedom as an individualized monad from the material spheres, "who lives in the highest portions of his constitution in full consciousness and power even during earth-life" (OG 73). Often signifies the loftiest class of initiates, adepts, or mahatmas, whether
embodied or disembodied; also one who has reached nirvana during life."
Wikipedia definition:
"Jivanmukta (from the Sanskrit words jiva and mukti) is a unique concept in Hindu philosophy, and that too, particularly in the school of philosophy known as advaita. The word means 'One who is liberated while alive'. The ultimate goal of Hinduism is Liberation from the cycle of births and deaths. This Liberation is technically called 'moksha'. In all schools of Hindu philosophy except advaita, Liberation is necessarily an event after the death of the body, if at all. But the advaita school of Shankara, envisages that Man is already liberated, his soul is already free, he has only to realize so. So such souls who have had this realization, are called jivanmuktas, though they are extremely rare. "
My own interpretation for the movie Matrix is sort of different to all those I have already read in the last nine years. My interpretation of Neo's 'awakening' is that it symbolizes the moment when a jivan person (eternally conditioned soul) becomes, by means of God's favor, a jivanmukta (free while living soul). But I think the symbol is not consistent through the whole narrative. Meaning that I think that the symbolism of Neo's awakening, to be seen as a symbol of the attainment of jivanmukta status, pertains to himself alone. Because Neo goes on showing the qualities that are acquired by a jivanmukta after his/her illumination. For instance mystic powers (siddhis). While others of the freedom fighters freed by Morpheus, that are supposed to be jivanmuktas also, do not exhibit none. Except, perhaps, for Trinity with her acrobatic skills.
