Trapped in the Matrix; Living on Cell Phones

It is bad enough when you are talking to someone their phone rings and they answer it.  It could be important… it is another when someone is furiously texting while you are talking to them.

This level of ‘Now’ oblivion is endemic.

Many people have considered the cell phone addiction a deliberate part of the ‘dumbing down’ of populations.  A kind of distraction so that people miss reality and their minds are captured by meaningless games and conversations.

I recall sitting by a lake, enjoying the view when two people passed.  They were together, but each was on a separate cell call, they were talking to those not present, and in truth they weren’t present.  They could be in the Matrix, unaware that what they thought was real was a ‘video game’.

Although, as everyone else, I’d seen this before, what struck me in this image, was the fact that these bodies were moving, but without minds.

Yesterday, I left one of the females who lives on the dorm, babbling on the cell phone, rode to the supermarket, had conversations with people, rode back, and she was still sitting on the cell phone.

Now I can understand when someone is abroad and you call them once a week at a specific time, and keep the contact going in this call.  It is the only way to stay in touch with family and friends who are a thousand miles away.

I can not understand any call over two minutes to someone you could have coffee with.  I can not understand how people who have nothing to say can spend so much time saying nothing.

This is because I am not in The Matrix.   I am freed from it, and live my life, NOW.

When I leave this room, I am ‘in the world’ the real world.  And I see and hear and experience reality.  I don’t maintain my imprisonment in the Cell Phone World.

My Cell phone lives in the farthest corner from my bed.  It is on permanent silence.  If I hold it and there is a call, it will vibrate.   If I don’t hold it, or see the light flashing, I won’t know about the call.

In reality, 99% of all calls are really not important.   What ever is to be said ‘now’ could be said an hour, a day from now.   The caller, usually relaxed, lonely, decides to call you, because it is convenient for them, and you answer, because like any automaton, you have no free will.

You may be driving, the cell calls, you answer.    You could be eating dinner, the cell calls, you leave the table.  I’m sure many people will be in bed, stop what they are doing, to answer the call.  This is due to the mental chains that have been affixed.

Don’t dispute, unless your cell is on silent, unless you only answer it when it is convenient for you.

Within a generation, people have given over their free will, their ability to behave independently to cell phones.  Unlike the ‘land line’ as it is called, one can leave the house or the office and be out of contact.  Today, as long as the cell phone is with you, you are never out of contact.

The fact is, having a cell phone is being connected, at all times, to anyone who wants to track you.  The GPS will indicate your position,  your calls are monitored, and you are as free as those bodies in their pods, in that cave, in the Matrix.
