I know this will sound cheesy but...at times in my life I have felt like I was Neo from the Matrix, like 10 foot tall and bullet proof!!
But even more than the physical feelings, more like I could manipulate reality in the same mind boggling ways as Neo does in the movies...dodge bullets etc
Anyone felt the same way before?? or am I deluded fool??:)

Always, after watching The Matrix. I try and manipulate objects and stuff. But that's me taking giant leaps. I spend most of my time trying to project love to any person who come into contact with me, that's my goal. :)
Every time I think I'm bulletproof I get a nice wakeup call from the astral plane demons pretty damn snappy that's for sure!

I think it is a state of mind, I have kind of felt it but seem unable to mantain it, but it sure does feel good at the time :)
I don't know if it is relevent but the times I have felt like this are when I am interacting with nature, more than usual, even just watching clouds. Actually I am sure it is relevent, maybe connecting in some very small way with the oneness, what a great thought :)

I think your right, it definitely has something to do with a connection with nature/earth, a realization that it is a living breathing entity, that we and it are all the same stuff (light & waveforms) and the awareness of this gives the feeling that you can manipulate it at will.

The question do you ever feel like neo extends to do you ever feel like jesus, do you ever feel like the second coming ect ect
The answer is no, its a nice fantasy but remember the characters entire purpose is to make the "every man" feel like they can relate to him.

Sure, I think that was the idea.
Just so long as you remember to take the Red pill, then you can find your own unique powers, your own avatar, your own expression of the truth about reality. Follow the plot in the Matrix Online game to stir the imagination.
As for dodging bullets and such, well, Neo was the uber Ninja and although such feats are beyond most, sufficient focus and training can yield results which might often make reality outdo fantasy, believe me.
There are superpowers you might find latent in yourself in the Real world, check out sites like Biomindsuperpowers.com for expert validation.

Not at all, I could relate to it even before I watched the movie :D I just thought it was too hyped though, and didnt watch it the first year I think it was, simply because I though I would be so very dissapointed. However I found that it actually was a cool movie, I dont even mind claiming it to be a digital bible :D
When I did watch the movie though, Neo is very... visual. If he was as powerfull as the movie made him, he did not even tap into more than maybe 75% of his potential or less. What ever stopped him from teleporting, using telepathy, knowing the future sooner than the oracle, using telekinesis and regeneration to win every fight... the list goes on and on.
I guess most can be answered by, it was beyond his imagination, or he could not wrap his mind around doing so.
I am planning to watch the Matrix Trilogy again soon, since I havent watched it since I started reading this forum, and I now know so much more that I can look for in the movies.

Cool Kblood, I suppose I identified with Neo as the first matrix movie made an indelible impression upon me, but the reason for the thread was to ask if anyone had felt that they had been larger than life, felt like they were able to manipulate reality outside of the known rules of physics (whether demonstrated or not) more just the feeling that it is possible and that you can make it happen.

Judging by all the long black trenchcoats I'd say plenty of kids have felt like Neo...or wanted to be him. But that was a few years ago now. So I dunno.

I got home from work today and was walking down the driveway to get the mail. I failed to see this sheet of ice under the snow and I fell forward. My hands were full so I didn't get to brace myself on the way down. At the last second I lifted my chin up which went into the snow and missed impacting the ice by half an inch. At that split second I felt like I had just pulled off an amazing matrix move.
Unfortunately the whole thing probably resembled a drunken clown getting whitewashed by his own stupidity :p
Yay for me!

Well... I am probably deluded, but I have memories of being shot in the head, having the bullet wound in my neck for a week. I have memories of flying, although I guess it could have been an OBE while awake, levitating I am fairly sure I have done. Dodging bullets, yes, but dodging them is mostly to avoid things to get messy. Do they hit, I seem to have found ways to regenerate anyway.
So... I guess that is a yes and I am probably both more deluded than you and have seen the Matrix about 10-15 too many times :D
The hard part is making people stop using guns or shooting each other without having to use such skills at all. I find that quite alot more challenging and better to do. Showing off did not really get me anywhere, and it seems that it isnt really that easy waking up others to these things.
Some times I just go out of my daily/weekly/monthly rythm and simply have to try out more of this stuff, but everytime I do, it is so difficult to stop again, and it quickly gets out of hand. Even though feeling in control then it still all happens so fast.
Also, after having done excessive amounts of this stuff, I sometimes end up feeling drained of energy and life for days, or even weeks. At least last time I did, it took weeks to get a normal biorythm again. Stop being psychotic and wind down the mind to a bearable pace, instead of having everything seem to go by in snailspeed.
So yes, to me the Matrix movies makes alot of sense. I am planning to figure out ways to actually bring my body more into it. Conciously doing it much more aware, so that I can learn techniques to be able to do some of it, without there having to be some life and death kind of reason to make it happen. Other problem is it seems to take its toll on the mind, and it is as I wrote before difficult to stop. When first it has begun, people seems to notice you more and think about you more than I find enjoyable, at least for longer periods of time, and that makes for more stuff to be likely to happen. When wanting to learn and experience, then it is hard to stop the mind from "reaching out".
Im sorry if that made you all think me crazy, but this is something I have come to accept, and it doesnt really affect my life all that much from day to day anyway. I am different in the way that I have to focus on being normal, and remembering that I am just another human being, instead of letting the mind loose and explore and thereby expand my limits yet again.
If I could tame it somehow, or have it not being a threat to my biorythm and day to day life, then I probably would explore it more. Last time was a bit much for me though, and I am guess I am still trying to get my mind set on what happened last time, since it was a bit much to comprehend.

Heard of that Ray Raimi guy or whatever his name is? I saw right through that guy the first time I saw how he claimed to put out a 1mill. prize to the first one to prove having powers beyond the 5 senses.
This guy gives a glimpse of it, and I fear what happens in the end is actually part of why. When it is used to "show off" and to make people awaken to the fact that we are more than just physical beings, then we risk a karmic backlash. That is the best way to describe it I guess. I have mostly done the things I wrote about in the last post in public, and sometimes it has lead to people getting hurt in some way. At the time of what I so far can call my peak, then I did seem able to protect almost everyone from it, although if my senses were telling me the truth, then I only managed to make the karmic less visible around me, having it lash out in other parts of the world instead.
Since I cannot be sure how the exchange of energy really works, I guess it is best for me to not go all out again just to be on the safe side.
Another thing is, it isnt intended to be used for personal gain. Making it a living is okay, to a limit I guess, but when doing it to become rich and famous and doing it more for your own wellbeing and fame rather than the good of all, then it is most likely to either fail or have an immidiate backlash.
I could of course be wrong about all that, but that is my answer.

Yes well, funny enough, ever since I started getting interested in T'ai Chi and the Chi energy, a series of life 'coincidences' popped up and I am no in contact with a T'ai Chi instructor who knows a really rare form of T'ai Chi.
I shall continue the path and see what is presented....who knows, maybe I will end up in Tibet with those magical monks! :)

Chi is something I am also thinking would be nice to learn. With chi it seems something that can be controlled for whatever reason at any time, rather than how it is with what I currently seem to be able to do.
Seems chi makes it possible to become "superhuman" in some ways. I wonder how it would turn out if someone trained the same way on learning how to regenerate, as these monks do learning to hit through walls, survive spears against their throat and so on. The guy in the video who used what seemed like chi energy used for healing, and it could even be used to make paper burn and a small led light up. Most monks seems to be focusing on keeping the chi in the body. I guess that might be because that it is not as secret when it isnt healing, and manipulating others without bodily contact.

I must watch the trilogy again, it's been a while since I saw them. Some of the action takes place in the astral or other dimension, or a representation of it. (I think so??)
Have you ever experienced time glitches, where time goes excessively fast or slow? Have you ever been in a trance-like state and unable to see the normal things around you in the way they should be? When you just release your need to control everything, and breathe, then all shuffles back into place. Have you ever been in serious danger and everything is, as if, in slow-motion, like you are trying to move your body in thick honey, and you cannot do anything about it. In a car accident?, or near accident and known with absolute certainty to take your hands off the wheel of the car and let it right itself, create no interferrance, just release your control. Have you operated in absolute absence of fear in a situation which would have turned very ugly had you engaged your fear? Your mind is thinking faster than the scene is taking place? You are getting exactly the informaton you need to make the next move? Have you seen beings been threatened by (but remained completely calm and focussed), they look more like shadows, or computer generated energies/entities? Have you woken up outside of your body, but without your body and known it, had vision but no sensation of a body? Have you had people try to hurt you and they cannot get to you, no matter how they try, or end up hurt and unhappy themselves. Have you returned to your body and felt the rush of energy about your face, as you have the memory of flying rapidly over landscape or sea, or back from the stratisphere, sucked back into your body. Have you travelled through a winding tunnel to see the end opens into a night sky full of stars. Can you hear what people are thinking when they have a highly emotionally charged thought? (even on the telephone)

Yea, some of it is in the astral world. The white corridors that are described as back doors in the matrix. That is how Neo got to see the architect.
And yes, situations of great danger are situations where time slows down, as a defence mechanism I believe. Our mind speeds up and has time to choose the best actions, and fear even helps it along. Fear can also cause the opposite though, when it gets out of control, or it will be the reason why it gets out of control.
It has also been discussed in the "What is time" thread, and this is psychological time if I remember correctly.

That was interesting asentinel. I can relate to a few of those scenarios for sure.
Since becoming aware of the real world situation I have noticed an appeal to my ego, along the lines of Messiah Complex. It has taken a few different tacts. I treat it as it is and put it straight out of my mind... but I can see how these thoughts could take root.
I am swayed towards thinking we cannot do these things yet except in very small ways. We need a physical upgrade first... or release from matrix constraints. Its not just a case of seeing through it. This could certainly be wrong... but I haven't seen any real evidence.
I read somewhere about Neo represents the NWO and Agent Smith represents Christ. Sounds controversial.

Smith as Christ? Would Christ want to destroy ALL life, machine and human, as Smith did?
Er...okay, believe as you will. :rolleyes:
It is difficult to say, though. The overall ideas are Masonic, but for me, Neo is Catholic and Smith is Protestant, representatively.
It was fundamentalist Protestants in America, Evangelical types, who a few years ago started imparting the theory that Smith was Jesus Christ, and Neo was thus (their idea) of the Devil. Well, no wonder: these Bible-thumping conservative Bluepill fuckwits fear and demonize anything revolutionary. And some Catholic "intellectuals" might be inclined to agree with that interpretation too because well...threatened, much?
Neo is the Masonic Christ-Lucifer, for sure. Lucifer here in the sense of Light-Bringer/King of the World, a title of the same personage of Jesus in the Bible (look it up). Smith is a malevolent spiritual being ("Machine"), a king Archon (Agent) who goes crazy when he's "unplugged" (which means "stripped of Purpose" to a program) and tries to consume and subsume all existence into himself (ie. become GOD), with the Matrix, Machine and Real World ruled by himself alone (copies).
Of course, the Wachowskis painted Smith as the "weird" or Other Self of Neo, his negative or polar opposite, to entice the drama of duality resolution and the battle within a man's soul. This, I feel, was an unfortunate addendum to the story which created the wrong impression.
But anyway...

I think what Cruise4 refers to was an analasys of The Matrix made by someone on this forum, I am not sure who. Maybe Serpent of Fire?
It was something about Neo and the others where demons, hacking into the real world, trying to escape hell. The Agents trying to guard the people from the occult or something. I guess looking up the thread would be the only certain way to find out.
The idea behind the movie is to show Neo as Christ, but I guess Smith could be seen as a religion, cult or mindcontrolling kind of being making everyone like himself.
I believe we can already break the rules of this reality, and the proof is beginning to come forth here and there. Anyone noticed videos of wallrunning people, monks able to hit through walls with their bare hands, able to use their mind to manipulate stuff, like bending spoons, having paper set on fire and so on.
Seems to me that the Matrix could in fact very well be a preminition foretelling the future in some way.

I have had instances where like "trinity receiving the operating instructions for the helicopter" I have known what to do in a situation without having any prior instruction/learning...accessing higher self??
Throw away the known laws of physics, everything here can be bent.

Im not saying as the movie shows it, it is a movie after all. Symbolically similar events though, like the evolution of AI, which as far as I know is well underway to becomming self-aware if that state has not been reached already.
Equilibrium is far better than matrix is, plus its probadly closer to the truth of the natzi book burning,internet censoring,big brother,police state,thought and emotional control future we are moving too.

The interesting thig about Neo is that he was only one of six other chosen ones, but at the end of the trilogy, he attained a level of trancendent reality which suggests not a godhood in the sense of an ordained king, but of simply a higher level of reality that we could all potentialy find.
