Been a while since I've had a chance to talk with Greg or any of the TNT alumni about the Matrix. There is an interesting exploration of the MATRIX on a Jewish website. I'm not superkeen on sending folks off to another website, so I'll understand if Greg chooses to shut this topic down. It has some great photos and quotes from the movie. Anyway, the site is:
www.aish.com/seminars/matrix/default.asp
This is the topical overview:
1 - Overview
A brief look at the story line.
2 - Reality & Illusion
"You have to see it for yourself...
Remember, all I'm offering is the truth, nothing more..."
3 - Know What You Know
"How would you know the difference?"
4 - Ignorance is Bliss
"Most of these people are not ready to be unplugged."
5 - Free Will & Destiny
"I can only show you the door, you're the one that has to walk through it.
6 - The Nebuchadnezzar
"Come with me, see for yourself."
7 - The One
"You got the gift, but it looks like you're waiting for something."
Anyway, my favorite quotes from the website (not from the movie) are: "There are no coincidences, no random events, no casual happenings. Every event of your life is exactly what you need, part of your personalized program to complete your life's mission." "The only thing we control is our choice, and what we choose creates our world." "If you seize the moment, you will find that unique role waiting for you." I find them inspiring. What do you guys think?

There was a discussion going on about the Matrix, oh, about two to three weeks ago. Just do a search for Matrix, and I'm sure you'll find it. You can probably get it kicked back into action again.
Just thought I'd let you know,
Starkman

| Posted 1/18/2003 10:24 PM (GMT -6) | | Welcome, Dr. Fascinated! The thread that Starkman is referring to is called WHAT IS THE MATRIX? started by Greg Boyd. I believe the website you suggested was also suggested on that thread.
Hey, did you know there's a book out that discusses the Matrix? It's called The Matrix and Philosophy: Welcome to the Desert of the Real by William Irwin.
Being a former TNT student myself I am too fascinated by the movie. I have referred to the movie a few times when teaching about TNT terminology and concepts. I am looking forward to the sequel. Those quotes you gave were cool!
So, which pill did you take?

| Posted 1/21/2003 6:16 PM (GMT -6) | | I just received my copy of the Matrix and Philosophy and The Matrix on DVD in the same week. It's time to retire the video tape and get down to some serious freeze-frame, scene skippin', flashback, replayin that line, hi-tech film-study. My wife thinks I'm obsessed...perhaps. The book has gotten off to a good start, Thanks to all who have reccomended it!
