The kernel of it was born in a series of nights at the LA Factory Theater with director Scott Kelman. He ran an informal group called The Liars&#8217; Club.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Each one of us would go up on the stage and tell, in the most convincing way we could, a giant lie about our past. A story.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">And the strange thing was, after listening to a few of these stories, we lost the difference, we couldn&#8217;t figure out whether they were true or false.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">One night, in fact, after I&#8217;d told a rather grisly tale, I rode home with a friend. She was angry with me. She said, \u201cHow could you have done that?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">I said, \u201cDone what? We were all telling lies, right? Lies.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">She fumed in silence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Then she said, \u201cNo, that wasn&#8217;t a lie. You really did that.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">There is always a certain amount of whining and remorse as one enters the theater, after buying the ticket.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Is this a good idea?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">You can already feel a merging sensation. The electromagnetic fields humming in the theater, even before the movie starts, are drawing you into the space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">You perception of x dimensions is narrowing down to three.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">You take your seat. You look at the note you&#8217;ve written to yourself, and you read it again:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size:large;\">Don&#8217;t forget where you came from. Don&#8217;t forget this is just a movie. Don&#8217;t fall asleep. The serial time in the movie is an artifact. The binding feeling of sentimental sympathy is an induction. It&#8217;s the glue that holds the movie fixed in your mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size:large;\">The movie will induce nostalgia for a past that doesn&#8217;t exist. Don&#8217;t surrender to it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size:large;\">You&#8217;re here to find out why the movie has power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size:large;\">You want to undergo the experience without being trapped in it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size:large;\">The content of the movie will distract you from the fact that it is a construct.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">The lights dim.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">On the big screen, against a gray background, the large blue word REALITY slowly forms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Suddenly, you&#8217;re looking at a huge pasture filled with flowers. The sky is a shocking blue. You can feel a breeze on your arms and face.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">You think, \u201cThis is a hypnotic trance weapon.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Now, the pasture fades away and you&#8217;re standing on an empty city street at night. It&#8217;s drizzling. You hear sirens in the distance. A disheveled beggar approaches you and holds out his trembling hand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">He waits, then moves on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">You look at the wet shining pavement and snap your fingers, to change it into a lawn. Nothing happens.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">You&#8217;re shocked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">You wave your hand at a building. It doesn&#8217;t disappear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Incredible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">You reach into your pocket and feel a wallet. You walk over to a streetlight and open it. There&#8217;s your picture on a plastic ID card. Your name is under the picture, followed by a number code. On the reverse side of the card, below a plastic strip, is a thumbprint.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">There are other cards in the wallet, and a small amount of paper money. You look at the ID card again. There&#8217;s an address.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Though it seems impossible, you remember the address. You see a small cottage at the edge of an industrial town. There&#8217;s a pickup parked in the driveway. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">It&#8217;s your truck. You know it. But how can that be?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">You walk toward larger buildings in the distance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Three men in uniforms turn a corner and come up to you. Behind them emerges a short man in a business suit. He nods at you and holds out his hand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">You know what he wants. You pull out your wallet and give it to him. He looks at the ID card, at you, at the card again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size:large;\">You were reported missing,\u201d he says. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size:large;\">Missing from what?\u201d you say.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size:large;\">Your home. Your job. What are doing here? Are you all right?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size:large;\">I&#8217;m fine,\u201d you say. \u201cI was&#8230;taking a short trip. I&#8217;m just out for some air.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size:large;\">In this part of the city? That&#8217;s not smart. We&#8217;ll take you home. Our car is right over there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">One car sits on a side street. In large red letters printed on the trunk are the words CARE AND CONCERN.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">You walk with the men to the car.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Waves you&#8217;ve never felt before are emanating from it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Mentally, you try to back up from them. They&#8217;re targeting your body. You feel a haze settle over you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">In the haze dance little creatures. They&#8217;re speaking. You try to hear what they&#8217;re saying. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Now you do. \u201cReality, reality, reality.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">You look at the short man in the suit. He&#8217;s smiling at you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Suddenly, his smile is transcendent. It&#8217;s so reassuring, tears fill your eyes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">But you&#8217;re thinking, \u201cThey built this so I would be lost, and then they found me. I&#8217;m supposed to be rescued. I&#8217;ve never experienced being rescued before. I never knew what it meant.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">You hear faint music.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">It grows louder. As you near the car, you realize you&#8217;re listening to a chorus and an orchestra. The rising theme is Victory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">One of the uniformed men opens the car door.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">You nod at him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size:large;\">My pleasure, sir,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">The music fades away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">The scene shifts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">You&#8217;re standing next to the pickup in your driveway along side your cottage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">You&#8217;re home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Think, you tell yourself. What&#8217;s going on? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">You recognize your mind is now divided into two parts. The first part registers sensations from this reality. Feedback. These sensations are meant to be sorted, in order to answer the question: HOW AM I?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">The second part of your mind is entirely devoted to perceiving problems and solving them. Everything at this level is organized to constitute problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">You were never aware of these two sectors of your mind before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Where did they come from?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Now, as you walk into your cottage and instantly remember the rooms and the objects in these rooms, an accompanying sensation of Familiarity, slightly out of phase, grows stronger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">You realize, without knowing how, that you&#8217;re supposed to feel tremendous relief. This is what&#8217;s expected of you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">It&#8217;s expected of everyone. They live with one another through the touchstone of the Familiar. They share it like bread.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">They keep coming back to it. The Familiar is a sacrament.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">It&#8217;s built in. It&#8217;s invented through&#8230;electromagnetically induced fields. It&#8217;s stamped on every object in this space&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">To suggest you&#8217;ve been here before. To suggest you belong here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">As you look around the cottage, you apprehend a third sector of your mind. You struggle to identify it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">It&#8217;s the fount of a different kind of perception.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Yes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">You keep staring at the cottage and you see space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">You see space that&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Has been placed here. For you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">It, too, is threaded with the Familiar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">And at that moment, there is a small explosion behind your head.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">And you&#8217;re sitting in the theater again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">The movie is playing on the screen. All around you, in the seats, people are sitting with their eyes closed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">You feel a tap on your shoulder. You turn. It&#8217;s an usher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size:large;\">Sir,\u201d he says. \u201cPlease follow me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">He leads you up the aisle into the lobby, which is empty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">An office door opens and a young woman steps out. She strides briskly over to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size:large;\">You woke up and came back,\u201d she says. She gives you a tight smile. \u201cSo we&#8217;re refunding your money. It&#8217;s our policy.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">She drops a check into your hand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size:large;\">What happened in there?\u201d you say. \u201cWhat happened?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">She shrugs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size:large;\">Only you would know that. You must have done something to interrupt the transmission.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size:large;\">And the rest of those people?\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">She looks at her watch. \u201cThey&#8217;re probably into their fifth year by now. The fifth year is typically a time of conflict. They rebel. Well, some of them do. They rearrange systems. They replace leaders. They promote new ideals.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size:large;\">I had such a strong feeling I&#8217;d been there before.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">She smiles. \u201cApparently it wasn&#8217;t strong enough. You&#8217;re back here.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size:large;\">How do you do it?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size:large;\">I&#8217;m sorry,\u201d she says. \u201cThat&#8217;s proprietary information. Did you meet your family?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size:large;\">No,\u201d you say. \u201cBut I was in a cottage. It was&#8230;home.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">She nods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size:large;\">If you hadn&#8217;t escaped, you would have been subjected to much stronger bioelectric bonding pulses. Do you have a family here?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">You start to answer and realize you don&#8217;t know.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a title=\"Exit From the Matrix\" href=\"http:\/\/marketplace.mybigcommerce.com\/exit-from-the-matrix\/\"  rel=\"attachment wp-att-3550\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3550\" alt=\"Exit From the Matrix\" src=\"http:\/\/jonrappoport.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/03\/matrix-exit1.jpg?w=300\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">She looks into your eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size:large;\">Go out to the street,\u201d she says crisply. \u201cWalk around.

The noise is thunderous. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">You notice you&#8217;re carrying a rolled up sheet of paper in your hand. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">You open it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">It&#8217;s a non-disclosure agreement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size:large;\">If you return from from your movie experience, you agree to reveal or discuss, under penalty of law, nothing about its nature, substance, or duration&#8230;\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">You look at the sheet of paper, make up your mind, and it bursts into flames. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Jon Rappoport<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">The author of two explosive collections, <span style=\"color:#000080;\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/marketplace.mybigcommerce.com\/the-matrix-revealed-vol-1-cd-by-jon-rappoport-mega-info\/\" ><span style=\"font-size:large;\">THE MATRIX REVEALED<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span> and <span style=\"color:#000080;\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/marketplace.mybigcommerce.com\/exit-from-the-matrix\/\" ><span style=\"font-size:large;\">EXIT FROM THE MATRIX<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>, Jon was a candidate for a US Congressional seat in the 29<\/span><sup><span style=\"font-size:large;\">th<\/span><\/sup><span style=\"font-size:large;\"> District of California.
