I’m on my 14th day of rebooting and I was watching the Matrix movie, it actually has powerful lines that can help with Rebooting. I have watched it many times before and it is my favourite movie with subtitles, people tend to concentrate on the action but I’ve taken the good lines that can be taken in the context of a Fapstronaut and his addiction. I’m gonna put one example with the Fapstronaut context in brackets. The other posts, you will have to use your imagination
Computer: Wake up, Neo… Neo: What? Computer: The Matrix has you… (The PMO Matrix has you…) Neo: What the hell? Computer: Follow the white rabbit…(Follow this tread) Knock, knock, Neo…
Morpheus: I imagine… that right now you’re feeling a bit like Alice… tumbling down the rabbit hole? Neo: You could say that… Morpheus: I can see it in your eyes. You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees… because he’s expecting to wake up. Ironically, this is not far from the truth. Do you believe in fate, Neo? Neo: No. Morpheus: Why not? Neo: I don’t like the idea that im not in control of my life. Morpheus: I know exactly what you mean…. Let me tell you why you’re here. You are here because you know something. What you know, you cant explain. But you feel it. You felt it your entire life. That there is something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there. Like a splinter in your mind… driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what im talking about? Neo: The Matrix? Morpheus: Do you want to know… what it is? The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window… or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work… when you go to church… when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes… to blind you from the truth. Neo: What truth? Morpheus: That you are a slave… Like everyone else, you were born into bondage… born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch. A prison… for your mind… Unfortunately, no one can be… told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself.
Morpheus: Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world... and the real world?
Morpheus: The Matrix is a system, Neo… That system is our enemy. But when you’re inside, you look around. What do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system… and that makes them our enemy… You have to understand… most people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert… so hopelessly dependent on the system… that they will fight to protect it. Were you listening to me Neo or were you looking at the woman in the red dress?
