@Nancy:
"I didn't say everthing isn't real. I said we had the illusion of choice"
If choice was an illusion, everything had to be unreal. Let me give you examples:
1. You choose to take a shower. Illusion of choice means that you are programmed to take a shower, which is only possible if the shower is programmed as well. It's not a real shower.
2. You choose to eat a burger. Illusion of choice means that you are programmed to eat that burger at that time, which is only possible if the burger is programmed as well. It's not a real burger.
3. You choose to write on this forum. Illusion of choice means that you are programmed to write on this forum, and this extends to all other participants of this forum as well. Nobody would be real.
4. You choose to change your vibration. Illusion of choice means that you are programmed to change your vibration, which is only possible if the entire world around you, which is built on vibration, is programmed as well. Vibration wouldn't be real.
5. You choose to not participate in the system. Illusion of choice means that you are programmed to not participate in the system, which is only possible if the system wants you to not participate.
The question of this thread is how it feels to be released from prison. I can answer that:
You are not being released from prison. Instead, you release yourself, by understanding that you are not programmed. Choice is not an illusion. This is how you actually take your power back, and it feels great.
Unless you don't want to assume responsibility for your own choices. Then you will make up excuses like "choice is an illusion" and "the matrix has you". You do this because you fear making mistakes. If you make a mistake, you want it to be the fault of the matrix, or whatever construct, as long as it's not you.
