Some prominent men (Elon Musk, Neil DeGrasse Tyson) recently showed support for this idea. http://www.cnbc.com/2016/09/28/neil-degrasse-tyson-says-yes-we-all-could- be-living-in-the-matrix.html
The idea of Matrix was inspired by Maya concept from Hinduism (which is very old religion). http://www.thecinemaholic.com/matrix-hinduism-inspiration/
I find it interesting that both very old religion and modern prominent scientist are saying the same thing
What do you think about this theory? Do you think astrology proves it or not?

Technically, the Matrix was based on The Invisibles, a brilliant comic series of occult anarchists that was, in turn, inspired by hallucinogenic drugs by someone who studied magic, the occult, and many religions (including Hinduism). If you want to look at the Matrix as a metaphor for reality then the Invisibles was like a college thesis while the Matrix was more like a book report made in elementary school.

That quibble aside, I'm not surprised that connections between the Matrix and Hinduism can be seen.

I was going to recommend another vid for you, but it's taking SO LONG to explain it (because I'm sure most people won't watch it, though that won't stop them from making stupid assumptions about it and my intentions if I let it speak for itself, and I thought I should explain why I think it's relevant to this thread) that I'm going to create a brand new thread for it and then link to it in this one.

We live in a dream. In that sense, we live in a matrix. But, unlike the movie, if we die in the matrix we remain living in reality.

According to the Bible, yes!!

If you strip away the supernatural aspects of Christianity the main idea is, we're living in a matrix. The only way out is in, and through love.

Interesting Note: A devout Christian woman claimed she wrote the Matrix, or the basic outline that was made into that movie. It went to the courts and she won. She said she wanted to retell the story of Jesus Christ with a modern sci-fi backdrop, that's how she came up with the story.

According to ancient Greek world view; God is Spirit, God is Love, God is Sophia. God is the master creator. God created all things including the devil. Everything was created in God's image.

The Devil/Satan/Saturn became arrogant and wanted to play God. Thus he created time, reality, the matrix. Here/there he lured souls with the hook of physical pleasure, all things material so long as they worshiped him like a God, exclusively. However, Saturn is the false God. He is ego, violence, suffering. He is vengeful and wrathful. God the Almighty is Love. Once you enter the matrix you're stuck there for all eternity.

The only way out of the matrix is to reconnect with God. God made man in his image, and God is Sophia, God is Love. Find the God in you, and you will find the way out of the matrix. /ancient Greek/Christian world view.

In Astrology the Sun/Moon/Venus are the luminaries. While the moon doesn't pretend to be a Star, Venus does. However, we know Venus is not a star, just a pretender. Venus, with beauty, charm, and fabulous PR has revamp her image. No longer the great pretender, she's the Goddess of all things pleasurable, harmonious, just & fair.

Saturn is the lord of the Matrix. In Saturn ruled Aquarius the Sun/God is in his detriment. In Venus ruled Libra, Saturn is exulted, and the Sun/God is pulled to his death. <-- This because Libra is balance and death is the counterbalance to life.

Thank you for your replies.

I read one opinion that rulers of this planets use astrology to measure the REAL time (human system of measuring time is useless). Astrology was given to humans by gods

I haven't read Icke's book and was suprised to find out that some people have such negative opinion about Saturn.

Pretty true, though I also subscribe to the Gnostic theory that the Christian God is the one who created the matrix (if you look at the OT, you'll see that it's pretty barbaric, God forbids knowledge, slavery isn't frowned upon, etc. then Jesus comes and preaches loving your neighbor and looking within to find the Kingdom of God, gets crucified, and Paul comes to bring the rigid conservative doctrine back) and that there's a "most high" above the Christian God (the Anunnaki theory explains why we look so much different than the rest of the animal kingdom in size, and are much smarter), and Jews, the "chosen ones" of the Christian God, worship on Satur(n)day (Yahweh/Jehovah/Allah being Lord of the matrix makes a ton of sense) and Zionist Jews are at the top of the Illuminati pyramid. Organized religion (all the protestant and fundamentalist church logos have occult symbolism, and the connections that the Catholic church as well as the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses have to the Illuminati are well documented) is one of the biggest methods to keep people in the reincarnation trap, as it often keeps people in a lower vibrational state (like how evangelical Christians look down on astrology and other metaphysical subjects, as well as homosexuality, premarital sex, abortion, and pretty much anything liberal. The fear of Hell, which an ex bishop said was a control method invented by the Catholic church, keeps people "in line" with the doctrine. Modern day Christianity was founded by Constantine, a Pagan, and worshipping on SUNday is just one example of the Sun worship in Christianity), and my Moon/Pluto Scorpio conjunction intuition leads me to feel that the evangelists on TV and Christians in the Republican party (who are against abortion and gay marriage but are the main culprits of the huge wealth gap that's present today... Jesus would NEVER support that) are the false prophets mentioned in the NT, as their doctrines are NOT the way to return to the creator God.

No, we are not living in 'the' matrix. 'A' matrix maybe, since a great portion of what we consider reality is from a consciousness overlay.

Astrology in my view doesn't prove or disprove it.

Another question:
How can I improve my live in the/a Matrix?

Provocative thought:
Does living in Matrix explain accuracy of horary astrology?

Do you think we can somehow influence Matrix and improve our lives?

Yes.

But what is the Matrix?

I do not think it's a hologram in the same way as described in scifi, though it may reflect its reality in a way (like a doll within a doll). This goes into surreal metaphors and manifestations, the most esoteric occultism. And I don't think we can clearly define that.

You could learn "programming" through occultism and other esoteric techniques, but one thing people find is how connected we all are. You make changes and it vibrates, and that affects you, too. Sorry to be oblique but I don't see how to describe this in literal terms.

As a super simple example, a common mistake is for someone getting into occultism to invoke a Justice archetype (they're usually trying to break the rules without getting busted for it, a "cheat code" if you will) but that Archetype is outside of themselves and is not yours to command, nor some mommy to tattle to. Typically such people are themselves somewhat to blame for what happened as well and Justice comes down hard on the one who invoked it as well (and as this spreads around that person, other more experienced occultists who know what's going on tend to clear out until the dust settles).

And let's say that the metaphor of "Matrix" is actually identical to the literal version. In that case, trying commands with that is going to get a lot of "File Not Found." And genuine "Hacking" is may draw attention to yourself that you may prefer not to have, perhaps even the Grid Overwatch Division (GOD).

And using the Matrix as metaphor, then consider, are you part of the Matrix? That is, are you an "artificial intelligence" yourself? Or is it something you're immersed within? (It can be both, assuming there is a "player" and you're just the "character" in the "video game" called life, in which case you don't really exist, or at least not all of you does, and who is the player playing you? Ooh, that reminds me of the TZ ep Upgrade, which you can see here .)

Back when I first experimented with magic, I assumed that it was just positive thinking for the most part, though I saw enough weirdness that I realized it was more than that. But at the same time I drew in negative experiences as well, even had a terrifying experience with shadowy "men in black" figures so that my mentor into that worked to shut me down from the astral (perhaps one could see that as "jacking out").

That aside, if you want to experiment with that, I'd recommend Quantum Psychology (preferably after reading through Prometheus Rising ) by Robert Anton Wilson. You can read it on PDF here:
http://selfdefinition.org/science/Robert-Anton-Wilson-Quantum-Psychology.pdf

But all in all, if you're just looking for an easier life, it's much easier to work on how you "process" the world around you (and react to it) than to try to shape it by mundane or magical means into what you want it to be.
