Atheory realated to the matrix post #1  quote:



Alrighty, as a paranoid friend of bobob i have created this theory. i believe that heaven could vary much be like the matrix. i have came up with a theory based on the christian religion. i believe that we are already in heaven and this a dream or game or test, and that our minds have created the five senses as an illusion to create reality. and the choices that we make are affected by cause, effect and fate. for instance if we make a choice the effect will alter our fate, thus when we die or the dream ends we are judged and go to hell or remain in heaven. so what do you guys think. thats about as simple as i can put it so....

Interesting opinion. Life as we know it could be a test to get into Heaven. Our actions here determine our fate after death. Which is just like the Christian religion.

Yeah, it can go with many other religions and beliefs if modified.

I think it means that if we're in Heaven right now, we're only kind of "dreaming" this. This "Dream" is a test to see if we're worthy for Heaven. The Matrix dosn't represent Heaven, in this scenario (oddly enough), the real world does. We wake up into Heaven, if we are found commendable enough. We wake up into the real world, if worthy enough to know the truth.

Well, it is kind of hard for me to explain exactly what it means but in my theory I relate the dream to the Matrix and heaven to Zion as in when the humans in the matrix are brought into the real world. hell is when we die by the machines hands I guess. Like I said i dont even fully understand it myself. i need more time to think and change the theory so that it is fully understandable. Bobob has desrcribed it quite well however.

I remember my dad watching it and saying "Oh my god, if that is the music in the future I don't know what I'll do!" The funny thing is it is a real song by Rob Zombie

I think the scene was interesting though. Neo was kinda the outcast of the group just standing in the corner. He didn't fit in at all But then when he joins the other computer geeks (i.e. Trinity, Morpheus, etc) to fight even more smarter super intelligent computer geeks (i.e. The Architect, Smith, etc) Neo becomes Mr. Popularity that saves the day and gets the chick

It was a nice transformation from computer geek to super computer geek for the protagonist of tha story

Maybe we all went to heaven and we are remembering our lives on earth. in that case we should have some ability to fast forward and remember the future relative to the point we were remembering. Maybe we remember certain parts over and over and that's why we get deja vu.

Your theory is interesting



The funniest music video in the world is Eminem - Without Me, when Elvis is sitting on the toilet, reaches in and pulls out a sandwich and eats it - where did that come from? roflmao
