RE: Patterns and routines of human brain in the Matrix world
The more control the victim thinks he has, the less control he actually has
What are the three rules to any game?
The point of my question, which can be raised to your 20 mile endure the truth, is why do you think that a sophisticated opponent would not make you think that you are in control?
In other words, why do you think (wink) that there is any kind of contrast that you could possibly hold to affirm that "this is me"? I know the ultimate contrast which has no way of being faked/manipulated/tweened/tweaked/practiced/seen/felt/heard/voiced ;).

What's the ultimate contrast?
I think it will be years before I can truly say "this is me")
No, I don't have a sure answer for sure. I cannot name any truth out there or in my own head with a 100% certainty... Or, even if I do so, I can never know how long it will hold its state of being true. I think it's something beyond what we can describe in words or explain by human means. It lies in the area of "silent knowledge" (in terms of Carlos Castaneda and others). Knowledge without any explanations and rational or spiritual descriptions. But then again, one has to be careful (the so-called spiritual world is also full of lies)
That's the same about illusions, yes... What we consider Normal and rational can be the most elaborate illusion. The greatest illusion will look and feel completely normal.
Who is the opponent. To me, this whole system is the opponent, but not even... because it's like facing and trying to fight a million agents Smiths and just regular people and life processes that surround us 24/7. The main "opponent" though is me, my own weaknesses and this "system" in me as well. Can it make me think I am in control of my life, my happiness, my thinking, my feelings, etc? Yes, definitely. Especially with the help of all these mainstream "teachings" and philosophies for better life, mental health, happy relationships, and reaching your goals. There are so many of them now and supposedly they all try to make people "better", but they are also a part of this system and don't go beyond its very strict limits and borders
Those of us who are into mainstream "self-development", meditation, mindfulness, and such... I am sorry to say this, but I believe it is just another type of human farm herd... that just feels and looks a bit more hopeful and pleasant and "nice"
What makes things seem real, waking or dreaming? What remains in the absence of world or dreams?

In Russian, we have a word for it that I can translate as "nothing", "emptiness", or "void". Nothing, from which everything can be produced or born. It sounds like a contradiction and a paradox, but there it is. I have seen/felt it, but only briefly... It's a "place" of silent knowledge, but it doesn't give all the answers automatically (just because we somehow managed to get there and experience it). We've got to have the keys (highly developed physical body is one of them, for example. Being psychologically strong - another, otherwise a person might go mad).
Also, I could say that in the absence of everything we know remains the Source (some call it "god", but I don't mean any religious description or understanding of god), and we all can be it or a part of it.
But at this point all this ^ is philosophy and theory rather than practice. Lots of people seem to know about the Source (Absolute), about their own nature and potential, about the "Matrix", about the state of the world we live in, etc. BUT - looking at all these people, at all of us... do we live and practice what we supposedly "know"?
I haven't met many people who live up to their own beliefs, morals, or philosophical discussions. It all usually ends when one has to go eat, drink, take care of their loved ones, or make more money to survive bills and debts. Sometimes it ends with a mere physical discomfort of any sort ) Like "oh, I'm all into fighting the Matrix and developing my superpowers, but now I have to go lay down because I have a headache. Let's continue this battle when I feel a bit better/less sleepy/more in the mood" :D
By the way, in no way I will claim all of the above as ultimate "truth" since I am only a practitioner. The next minute everything I know or experience may change.
In the absence of nothingness, void, emptiness, what remains? Being aware is our singular mode, we are what remains.

I can not argue with that, but I cannot prove it, either. I would love it to be so, but... I cannot afford to believe something just because I like it.
I have seen (not with my physical eyes) people being erased. To remain where nothing else is, a being must truly exist. I cannot tell how many people truly ARE here. And yes, I know it sounds crazy ))
You think that you reside in a place but the place resides in you, as does everything. How do you know it? Simply be aware, and whatever you are aware of, is not you. Once you remove all that you are aware of what remains is you.

Interesting. I will watch it. I wonder if it means that the essence of a “human being” can never truly be perceived.
I don't know about essence, I do know that by simple logic, what I am aware of and being aware are two different things, the later is always intimate and the former is always fleeting. You ever heard the sound of silence?
