Exiting The Matrix

I was always a very unwilling participant in The Matrix, even going back to grade school.

I knew something was wrong with everything at a fundamental level really early too, its a hell of a thing to realize when your parents dont seem to realize it

[@vanwise5711]

signifi delica And also extended family, it’s really painful and isolating.

[@unseenseer]

I remember being very young and thinking "this entire world/society/family/government is insane... i need a teacher, a seer to help me" but didnt ask or tell those close to me bc i thought i'd scare them or lose their approval. Wish to god i'd given myself more credit and spoke up loudly thru all the trauma endured. When i did finally meet two seers i was so terrified and fked up by all my research and truamas that i couldn't ask them the questions that burned in my soul. That's how infected i was by this programming and it remains to this day. Ridiculed for trying on identities and divergent thoughts or behaviors. Don't fking wait until your body and mind is sick qnd battered from going along with what you knew didn't fit you. TALK, SPEAK, SHARE, EXPERIENCE AS MUCH QS YOU CAN EVEN IF THE WORLD ISN'T WHAT YOU ARE ENVISIONING IT TO BE. DON'T DENY IT FOR TOO LONG! Don't wait for someone to save you like i did, have faith and your tribe will hear you. Don't destroy yourself like i did. I am a coward. Speak up even if it's not what you wanted to say keep trying.

[@carolynclitheroe4521]

unseenseer thanks for writing with so much vulnerability. It’s not too late - you are speaking now - I see you

[@unseenseer]

@@carolynclitheroe4521 i had visions as a kid. I didnt know thats what they were and started forgetting. I was a whale riding lucid dreamer i swam underwater with them and flew sround.. With the visions they occured while awake.. feeling a familiar unexplainable rush and vibration that seemed to come unannounced...my sight would go black.. id be taken to amazing places of imagination that are real.. i even remembered once being taken to maybe what don Juan called 'the dark sea of awareness' some kind of void or infinity that was so unexplainably familiar yet vast and untouchable, awesome yet terrifying.. remmeber asking my mother after that probably as a five year old "mom .. what if there is NOTHING.. just nothing" im sure she had no fking clue what was going on. Inwas asking a lot of things KEEP IN MIND CHILDREN ARE VIISIONARIES AND THEY ARE HERE TO EXPERIENCE NOVEL THINGS.. they have NEW CREATIVITY AND SOLUTIONS TO THIS WORLD.. WE CANT JUST HAMMER THEM WITH THE PASTTHEY NEED A SPACE FOR THE NEW AS WELL

[@Yo-pn9qp]

@@trinitiff12 You all feel that way because God is real, and the bible is true. God is not nature, God created nature, He is SUPERnatural. And he created you in His image, you know deep down its true.

[@ChrisGualazzi]

So glad I discovered Charles Eisenstein. Love what he says.

[@thebrooketheband]

I very much relate. I was also that kid. And now I share my life with two little brilliant beings, and we live happily without school. Our lives are our own. The grass is definitely greener over here. 💚💥✨

[@ManKindProject]

Thank you Charles. I am deeply grateful for your continuing expansion. Your moments of silence in this video impact me as much as your words. (~Boysen)

[@annepaulus8939]

This is an old comment, but I'll reply anyway. It's the purpose of every "sickness" to heal us deeply and I would say this is exactly what happened to you, Panarch. We are destined to shine our own individual light to the fullest.. it's not an easy task. Thank you for your words of courage and wisdom.

[@Changeworld408]

​@@annepaulus8939❤❤❤❤i recognise myself completely

[@JonathanCr0ss]

There is no speaker that makes me speechless like Charles. Words can't express how much his words mirror my own experience. Speaks to me. I dream that some day I might articulate my experience and perspective with such care, clarity, sincerity and eloquence...

[@JulieWolf]

not a bad start. I wish the same and applaud your expression made. thank you!

[@jimsagevid2286]

Haha, well dreaming of that is mayhaps beside the point :) You don't need a story of what you'll become...well, no need to believe in anyone anyway :) PS. I feel the same way ohmygod!!11!1

[@heartseedhealth6358]

Sometimes I feel like he's speaking my own thoughts in a much more articulate way!

[@JoanneGuelke]

I feel exactly what you do. I can't even remember anything he's saying - just left with the feeling.

[@MaxsLEGOStopMotion]

I am learning all this and I am 14. I currently am feeling sadenned because of this. And don’t even know what to do at the moment. My dreams that I have are something I really want to accomplish, but if I do. Would I be confirming in this society? I want to become a film director. Can someone help this is to much.

[@doomedtolinger2213]

The music is sweeter when someone sings your song. A heartfelt Thank You.

[@rajivhotek3401]

As a child seven years of age in 1944, living in Iowa. my mother told me .... "Ronnie you don't belong here." It was the greatest gift she ever gave me.........The Door was Opened.

[@OurWisdoms]

I felt the same my entire life and was always in "trouble" for not abiding to the system. Until I found myself. I adore what Charles promotes, which basically is digging inside and find your own answers to your call, whatever it is. But, not falling for cheap, fearmonger rhetoric that will enslave you and block you of meaningful connections. These are though times for all of us and the only way out is to connect with ourselves and because we are part of the "One", we will connect to all. Thank you for your wisdom!

[@mortonvrose]

Well said

[@RestorationRanchHealing]

I have had a innate awareness since I was a child. I was always referred to as being quiet or shy. I questioned why basic life skills , necessary for daily living were not taught in school. Why were we required to go to this formal environment to be taught memorization of all these events. Education, Medical, and even Legal demographics and anyone who questions this awareness - is often bullied or isolated.

[@thomassutherland5188]

To think on one's life and question its parts is the nature of intelligence and the source of all wisdom.

[@DrKieranKuykendall]

LOVE THIS GUY!!!!!!!

[@zackandrew5066]

A wonderful and deep explanation of the situation.

[@monkmell]

My first “visit” into another realm of thinking and being was George Orwell’s Animal Farm. That book saved me! So nice to hear how much books were to you and others too!

[@ancientable1]

Finding your channel today has been very Syncronistic! I'm a lot like you & others of like; since as far back as I can remember !

[@editelh]

I’ve always been like that too, and got in trouble many times for rebelling against all the outside forces that had no soul to me.

[@heartseedhealth6358]

What incredible offering: an opportunity to explore and live in the questions with someone who embodies open-heartedness and honesty. Such exciting territory to explore. I feel drawn into this process of unfolding and discovery and am very curious about the community of people who will be a part of this. Thank you Charles.

[@mondopinion3777]

In south Texas in 1944, when four years old, I rode along with my grandfather when he brought the Mexican maid home after her day's work. He stopped in front of a weeded lot with an unpainted shack at the back that, to my Kansas farm kid's mind, was an old chicken house. I was stunned. I asked my grandfather "But where is her house, where is her house ? !!" He gave me an irritated look and said nothing. That is when I realized THEY DON'T SHARE. I knew he was a decent and respected man So I never trusted the system again. Child in a land of war.

[@MrGunwitch]

Your comment resonates with my own experience of wealthy family and servants. It's a confronting reality for an insightful child.

[@Cheesus4jesus]

Charles puts into words the feelings so many of us have and can't express. I've spent the better part of my life, 40+ years of it, trying to discover that thing greater than myself that I can commit to. Yet I still don't believe in anything. I don't get caught up in cults, religions, political parties, or even "causes" as I see them cynically perhaps, as all bullshit.

[@suumcuique4530]

it is a miracle videos like these, people like him, movies, music, books find you at the exact moment you a realizing these things about you and the world.

[@mondopinion3777]

Interbeing. Thank you for that beautiful concept. To live in the interstices, not the points. The relationships, not the selfs. This is healing for our era of extreme individualism. Yet it is only from within the depths of each solitary individual that relationship can have meaning. We are more than robots working together on a factory floor.

[@olhardesperto6346]

bless u brother

[@threecenters4592]

This was me starting in Sunday school at age 4 or 5. I often have wondered if I’m on the right planet and among the right species. But now I see more than ever how necessary we are, even if others scorn and don’t appreciate.

[@smyd23]

I was really ready to hear this, thank you.

[@jjuniper274]

I am in service to my children and grandchildren. My partner, and animals i care for. The more I give of myself to them, the more I get back. And that can expand beyond the family and community. This I believe.

[@tmacdivine3629]

Wow, you did this video 5 years ago. It just showed up in my feed today. I feel like you were speaking directly to me. It feels so good to know there are others out there. I'm not crazy. Thank you brother. 🤟

This is just under 20,000 views as I type this. Seems like this could have a million if this got passed around during this Covid pause. I resonated with almost every word said, but that last half cut into a new video might help a LOT of people right now Charles. Keep doing what you do.

[@grahamrobson998]

Hi Charles I Have just found you today. And it feels like a MASSIVE MASSIVE FIND. I am so excited. Trying to stay calm. Wow I am so inspired. Thank you.

[@annadash3815]

Thank you sooo so much Charles! This Video came to me in quite the right moment and therefore I'm really greatful. Now I know there is nothing wrong with me and I don't have to seek for psychotherapeutic help anymore. I'm more and more sure now, that my depression will lead me into a new life. It started a while ago, where I became interested in a holistic view of the world and I feel more and more connected to nature and to myself again. I let myself flow and it seems like informations like Charles is sharing comes to me without even searching for it. I know it sounds really odd and sometimes I think my mind is playing tricks on me. Anyway it feels like it has to be this way. Is there somebody who is experiencing it the more or less the same way? Thanks again Charles!

[@yvettedouglass4642]

Sounds like you are following your inner guidance. Keep going!

[@Shwettyapple]

I admire the way you explained this process, I call it spiritual awakening. I adopted an attitude as a child of “if you can’t beatem’ joinem’…. which would have run me right off a cliff.

[@susisinger8518]

I love you! Thank you for expressing your doubts. I hate my doubts, because they put me out of here and now, but I need my doubts to not be the sheep, our society likes me to be. Resistence needs resilience,resilience need the believe, that i am okay. Not easy, but the few moments I trust in myself, I trust in the world, I can see the way, we can live together. This gives me hope and hope keeps my spirits up.

[@siyaindagulag.]

At least you have doubts. They are a treasure, albeit an uncomfortable one. Certainty is the refuge of idiots and every tyrant that has ever drawn breath.

[@ilauronen9825]

the old story never felt true. As a child and young teen, without realizing it or having any vocabulary for what was happening, I gravitated away from typical ways of interacting with the world. Its just a natural progression when you let your innate curiosity flow. Excited to continue to open myself up enough so the lessons and new ideas which bring me closer to my center, my truth are understood as we see the world from different angles. Day by day, bit by bit; rediscovering and finding the verbiage/ way of interacting with the world which feels more true than what it felt like yesterday :)

[@themetalgardener4960]

Thank you! It is nice to know one is not alone. I actually thought I might be an alien born on the wrong planet. At least it felt that way. I studied humanity since a young child, like I was an interplanetary anthropologist. Probably why I later gravitated towards anthropology and psychology.

[@limacatz1]

Love your soulful approach to looking for a healthier narrative! Big fan! The other reason listing your accomplishments to critics is not healthy is because it is letting them put you on the defensive. That is us trying to get someone else to see our value so we can feel better. You obviously don't need that because your faith and trust in your own power and inner authority/authenticity is strong enough to know better. Well done. Disempowerment looks like: defensiveness, violence and aggression, dominance and control. People who are empowered don't have a need for those things which means that the weak (disempowered) are the ones perpetrating all the challenging aspects in the world and running things. When people wake up and empower themselves they have no neurotic, fearful, anxious need to control, and armor themselves. So yes-- getting defensive means They have sucked us into their narrative which is that we have no value and need to prove ourselves. Let's hear it for staying in our own movies. Thanks for your inspirational speeches and for getting real dialogue going about what matters.
