Anarchistbanjo's World

In many ways human thought and awareness is like a computer program in which concepts are linked to one another in a meaningful way. In this respect a paradigm is unified but might not be connected to physical reality. A matrix is like machine language which is always directly connected to physical reality.

Perhaps the best way to describe a matrix is to share my encounter with Neo-Tech. Again I need to choose my words carefully because people will leap to the wrong conclusions. The Neo-Tech discovery was a collection of 114 “advantages” compiled by Frank Wallace and said to provide powerful advantages to those aware of them. Neo-Tech was a matrix.

Before getting into my experience I need to say that in my search for self-evident truths I would often read as many as 10 different books just to find one nugget of wisdom that I could use. It was extremely rare to find good information. Of these 114 “advantages” perhaps half of them were pure gold and the rest garbage! I will just mention a few of them that have greatly influenced me.

The idea of internal authority vs external authority.

The idea that coercive force against any individual can never be justified.

The idea that emotions are what makes life rich, but they must not rule our actions.

The idea that we cannot control our emotions but we can control our actions.

The idea that the pursuit of infinite regression questions only serves to destroy one’s vitality and resources.

The importance of a strong ego and sense of self esteem for mental, emotional and physical health.

Neo-Tech is considered an offshoot of Aynn Rand’s Objectivism philosophy. It was also something that came directly out of my deepest blind spot! I was into metaphysics, spirituality and the occult and Neo-Tech claimed that the disease of mysticism must be eradicated from this world! It was in direct conflict with the principles that I held most dear!

But I could not deny the self-evident truths that it forced me to confront. Neo-Tech literally turned my world upside down. I struggled to integrate it and retain my own paradigm. They were like the yin/yang symbol complete opposites of each other. But I finally achieved an integration and synthesis of both.

Neo-Tech even bragged that it was a matrix capable of ripping any lessor paradigms to shreds. It also claimed that if you were exposed to one of the concepts and truly understood it, you would ultimately be forced to integrate it and accept it. To repress something that you understood was dangerous and destructive to your entire being. In essence, the message was that once you were infected with Neo-Tech it would take over any competing paradigm by nature of its inherent mutually supporting internal consistency! Once you were exposed to it you could not get it out of your mind, but needed to somehow integrate it! You need to be very careful of what you put into your mind! Our society has infected us with many toxic concepts that most have no antidotes for.

That is what a matrix does. That is why a matrix is so powerful. Most people do not even have well developed paradigms and have absolutely no defense against a matrix. Organic Gnosticism is a matrix that has absorbed Neo-Tech. Organic Gnosticism offers antidotes to those toxic concepts that have infected society.
