You can start wondering if our perceived reality really is just an illusionary matrix if in fact so many people already believe that someone they
believe in 2000 years ago did in fact walk on water and perform miracles in this reality.

Trying not to discredit your post (which I thought was great), but I'm gonna go off on a different tangent - and I'll come back to the whole
Matrix thing...:
Talking about Bible miracles, this may be of interest... I remember reading somewhere about Moses and the parting of the
RED sea, to avoid the
Roman soldiers (or who ever it was (Im not a huge follower of the Christian religion))... These scientists did some research and studies, and came to
the conclusion that Moses DID NOT part the
RED sea to lead the Jews to safety, but instead crossed what they call - The
REED sea, which
was infact a huge Reed Reef or something, and when the tide was at a certain level they managed to cross safely, but as the tide came in, and the
water got to deep, the Roman soldiers unable to cross ended up dying...
So who knows about the other miracles, and whos to say what I was told was true either... I watched this huge documentry on the History Channel, that
was trying to make the case that Extra-Terrastials were responsible for almost everything that happened in the Bible - anyone else see this?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But, back to the Matrix...
I am almost positive that other realities
do exist...
But my line of thinking is a little different to what I first perceived the Matrix to be...
Some see the Matrix as - artifical intelligence, breeding us as an energy source, and giving us a "fake" reality to live, inside a computer program.
I prefer to see the "Matrix" as a; Global conciousness, that has been developed over decades through mass media, and governmental propagation - that
has made us into a army of consumers - trapped inside a system that is extremely difficult to escape from... THIS, ladies and gentleman is the work of
the New World Order - who ever they are...
But then again - that could be me just being extemely paranoid - which I tend to have a little trouble with these days... Probably because I think
things like the Manchurian Candinate - is quite possibley REAL...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But I do think other realities exist - and I think it
is possible to tap into them - I think enlightenment is quite possible such a
phenomenon... I think when we die our life-force goes into the universe and can turn up again in any number of places...
But when you think about it... Perception
is reality - and whos to say the people with schizophrenia really are "crazy"... Infact,
some people may be interested in this... [
The Blessing of Madness ]
There is so little the human race actually understand - science just dismisses everything because of the lack of scientific evidence... For example -
the current debate taking place over Intelligent Design vs. Evolution... Now, I beleive in evolution, but I also beleive in some kind of force (known
to some as god) which I think is responsible for everything in the universe... Who was the architect for evolution - evolution didn't just come out
of no where - something had to take place in order to facilitate this process...
Anyway - I'm rambling - But there is more to the universe than what we can see, its a shame that institutionalised religion has destroyed what I
would term super-reality... and its a shame that science is so dogmatic...
