Is "The Great Reset" a Freudian Slip? - Is Massive Change Inevitable for 2030?
Smith, The Matrix, and Exactly 2,000 Years in the Shadow of the Cross
“Can you hear that, Mr. Anderson? That is the sound… of inevitability…”
If you came of age when I did and loved epic movies as much as I did, you probably remember this most iconic of lines from the turn-of-the-century movie, The Matrix?
I guess I was lucky. I’m the very tail-end of Generation X, and so I remember clearly a time before the advent of the internet and smart phones.
And I’m really glad for that.
But when the internet did come, it was amazing, and quite a contrast to the world that I had just grown up in.
And then, almost simultaneously, The Matrix came out alongside the advent of this internet… talk about timing… This massive technological change I witnessed before my eyes was topped off with a movie that seemed to be a warning, or at least a sort of “oracle” (pun intended) of what could possibly be coming in the future.
I took it quite seriously.
Although I was delayed in getting into The Matrix series themselves, by the time I did, I was fully immersed, pondering regularly what was the deeper meanings of this seemingly prophetic technological vision. Yes, I did regular research online, also even looking for online groups that I could talk with people and get different viewpoints to bounce ideas off of.
And in this movie, is one of the greatest and disturbing villains of all time… SMITH.
Yes, as I discussed here, we all need a really great villain in movie entertainment, in order to enhance the movie and give us that deep sense of satisfaction. And Smith does not disappoint. Indeed, he has been hailed as one of the greatest villains of all time.
Yes, from the perspective of enhancing the story, he is delightfully evil. ;-)
And speaking of villains, I have started my new substack series, “The Vital Villain - Romans 9 & The Glory of the Story”, which should turn out to be a fun journey through the history, social context, and political background of the Book of Romans of St. Paul, which you can subscribe to and follow below:
But Smith’s line about inevitability has always stayed with me.
But there is also a less well known line at the end of the 3rd movie that has always stuck with me.
When facing Smith for the very last time in the crater that they created by crashing into the earth from their epic battle scene in the sky, Neo looks tiredly at Smith and finally says…
“You were right, Smith. You were always right.”
And then Smith finally absorbs Neo (as he does everyone else).
But then only to discover that, with Neo, he was different… because unlike everyone else, he had jacked into the Matrix from the heart of Machine City, and not from the normal places (like from the ship, “The Nebuchadnezzar”), like all the other characters had previously done.
And as it turns out, that makes all the difference in the world, as Smith’s “assimilation” backfires, and ends up destroying all the Smiths in one foul swoop, and saves the day (and Zion).
Yes, despite all the epic battle scenes of these glorious movies, in the end, Neo just lets Smith take him out. At the last moment, Neo realizes he can just let the battle go, and trust that the schemes of this Smith will backfire.
And backfire it does.
But what had Neo meant when he said to Smith, “You were right, Smith, you were always right.”
Smith was “right” in the sense that his character and his destructive path was inevitable. That the war was inevitable.
You see, prior in the movie, Neo had met up with the Oracle and inquired about who Smith was… and she said that Smith was Neo himself, that is, his negative, his opposite. Smith represented the duality of Neo’s own being.
And so in a sense, in taking on Smith (and so epically I might add), he was just courageously taking on the dark side of himself.
And so, in the end, it was appropriate for Neo to say to Smith, “You were right, Smith”.
Why?
Because the external Smith that Neo was combatting was actually a representation of something else, a deeper struggle inside the “hero”, Neo, himself.
And that, really, until Neo himself was able to get to the heart of machine city,(overcome his own demons), the external phenomenon of Smith really was “inevitable”. And indeed was necessary, until Neo could jack into the matrix from machine city (as of course he eventually does).
But why do I take this delightful path down cinematic memory lane? Well… as it turns out, it seems that this movie may be prophetic in far more ways (and in more substantial ways) than we realized.
Enter “The Great Reset”, and the (almost comical) super bond villain, Klaus Schwab.
To be frank, I am very sympathetic with all manner of supposed “conspiracy theories” about how forces are converging throughout the world to create a “new world order” and that “globalism” is a major threat to freedom-loving people. Especially after covid hysteria times, that seems really apparent. It actually seems so obvious now, that it seems madness to deny it.
All that being said, however…
I would like the reader to consider something.
And in order to do that, let’s go back in time and consider an idea from a famous psycho-analyst, Sigmund Freud.
No doubt you are familiar with the “Freudian Slip”?
Let’s take the Wikipedia definition here:
“In psychoanalysis, a Freudian slip, also called parapraxis, is an error in speech, memory, or physical action that occurs due to the interference of an unconscious subdued wish or internal train of thought. Classical examples involve slips of the tongue, but psychoanalytic theory also embraces misreadings, mishearings, mistypings, temporary forgettings, and the mislaying and losing of objects.”
So essentially, when you are speaking, you end up saying something from your subconscious, which you would normally not reveal (and you are not even aware of, ie: “an unconscious subdued wish”).
So just for a moment then, dear reader, I would like you to consider an idea.
I am not asking you to believe that everything in the world is “fine” or “wonderful” or “great” or whatever. I’m not asking you to deny what seems really quite obvious, which is that there are (and have been for a long time) indeed forces converging throughout the world to create havoc and usurp freedoms and assume dictatorial power.
Most likely, there are.
But despite all this… is it possible…
That men like Klaus Schwab, when they speak of “The Great Reset”, and no matter what terrible conscious plans they may have for the world, that is, plans set in motion by their conscious mind…
…that maybe, in choosing 2030 for their master plan takeover…
…they are also expressing a (different and distinct) truth, which is coming from their subconscious mind, that they themselves are not aware of?
And that maybe, when they speak of this “reset”, they are also expressing
“an unconscious subdued wish”?
What could this unconscious wish possibly be, you ask?
Exactly 2,000 Years?
Did you know, dear reader, that 2030 is actually an anniversary of something, that, in terms of it’s historical impact, is probably one of the most significant events in human history? And forget whether you yourself are a believer, because it matters little.
Yes, according to most historical scholars, Jesus of Nazareth was probably crucified under Pontius Pilate in the year 30AD (do your own research and you will probably discover the same).
And so then… where does 2030 lead us to?
The exact 2,000 year anniversary of the ritual humiliation and torture death of the one who claimed to be the Son of Man and “Messiah” from the book of Daniel, with all it’s massive societal (and eventually, global) implications, as I discuss here:
Yes, exactly 2,000 years.
To the year.
And so I ask the reader… do you think they choose this exact 2,000 year point just completely coincidentally?
For as the celebrated historian Tom Holland has explained so well in his book, “Dominion”, there was never a more significant event in human history.
I have a hard time believing that it is just a total coincidence.
And I don’t mean to say that they consciously chose this time with Christ in mind. No, I don’t think they consciously have him in mind.
But I have to wonder something…
Maybe they are expressing an “unconscious subdued wish” for a new age, for a new time, for maybe even perhaps… a new golden age?
Maybe there are larger (subconscious, and thousand year) forces at work here… and I don’t mean current global conspiracies… I mean thousand year culminations of what the human race has been reaching for since the dawn of time…?
Is that possible?
Maybe these political movements (however dangerous they are) are in themselves merely sign-posts for a deeper, more fundamental change that is possible for the future of humanity, and of the earth?
Maybe…
Instead of the technocratic transhumanism of these elite globalists, and their nefarious plans for “post-human-utopia”, maybe they themselves are all merely just a sign-post for something much better to come for all of humanity in the future?
Maybe new breakthroughs for the human race are just yet arriving? And maybe this is in line with the expectations of millennia, stretching all the way back to Christ himself, and even long before Him?
Yes, maybe these modern day villains are really just external representations of our own dark side as humans, the aspects of ourselves that we have been struggling to understand and overcome? Maybe they are just the extreme manifestations?
And maybe in the future, once we see their plans crash all around them, and once we see all these globalists turn on each other and consume each other…
And maybe despite the damage they cause in the meantime…
Maybe we will still yet look back and say to these globalists (in reference to their subconscious acknowledgement and desire for a “reset” for humans, which is why they subconsciously chose 2030)…
…in the same way that Neo said to Smith…
We will say to Klaus (right before all his plans are about to be destroyed):
“You were right, Klaus, you were always right.”
