Glitches in the Matrix

There are gnarly glitches in the matrix! Yes! Haven’t you noticed, folks? As common as it may be, there are always cases of missing socks in the dryer, misplaced car keys and remote controls, or even books and magazines, and we just chalk it up to absentmindedness — or whatever. But often, and sometime later on, we find them relocated in places they’re not supposed to be, like that bowl of chili you had on the table while you went to the head disappeared when you got back — and it reappeared the next day on top of the TV! Or you find a cool little park you never saw before, but the next time you go to find it, it’s not where you thought it was, or it just wasn’t there at all! Or perhaps you knew someone you met before, and he denies knowing you, like he never met you before. These have happened to me! Well, not the chili thing – actually it was cereal. Never mind. . .

Yes, your mind does often play tricks on you, and this is the usual explanation. But, other than just manifesting in the physical plane, doesn’t frequency shifts occur in the mind, or on the level of consciousness, or even a more extended consciousness that extends to other dimensions? Traversing through different levels of consciousness can also be explained as frequency shifts. In other words, maybe the mind is where it all starts. And then these eerie phenomena manifest in the physical.

I believe that it is a certifiable fact, that there are glitches in the matrix — even though I myself may be certifiably insane. That’s beside the point. But these glitches in the matrix, or frequency shifts, or reality shifts, or lurches in the space-time stream, or whatever you want to call them, are hinting to us that we live in the world of unsubstantial reality, or a reality that is really illusion. Yeah, you can explain it all away, saying it’s a trick of the mind, or absentmindedness, or incoherent memories, or even going crazy, or whatever. But I say they are possibly instances of this illusory world of unreality. Because we live in the Matrix! I had this idea before the popular Matrix movies came out, but not by this name. It was basically the idea of living in an unstable illusionary world, essentially an old Hindu belief.  I didn’t really have a name for this phenomenon, but just these weird experiences that kept occurring in my life, these freaky frequency shifts that made no sense, as if reality was morphing this way and that inconsistently — as if I was going mad. But then things started adding up; dots started connecting, like when I first saw the matrix movies and when I began researching websites about something called reality shifts, it all began to make sense! Either I was madder than a hatter, or I had stumbled onto something. Maybe I have lost my mind and I’ve gone stark raving mad, and so have all the others that have had these experiences.

Either way you look at it, I still maintain that we are getting glimpses of something fishy going on around here! Glitches in the matrix, shifts in frequency, things going wacky, etc.

Now, see if you can observe and identify your own reality shifts.

Be aware folks! Be very aware!

Question:  If we live in a world of illusion, then where’s the world of reality? Hmmm…

 

Slipping into the Trilight Zone

Although certain folks call this phenomenon “reality shifts, you could also call these weird events frequency shifts, because you currently exist in one particular frequency, and you might unknowingly slip into a different frequency, then slip back. Often this is when things disappear, or reappear, or shift around illogically, or involves missing time, or instances of  synchronicity, or other things are weirdly displaced or don’t make sense or are flat out inconsistent.

I once knew a man for a while in a particular spiritual community, but when I met him again only a few years later, he didn’t know me. He claimed he had never met me before in his life. Key phrase here — “his life.” I met him before in “my life” you see, although he never did. Contradictory, eh?

If parallel universes exist perhaps I met his “other” self the first time as I unknowingly slipped into a different frequency or parallel Earth realm, and then the second time I met his counterpart in my own reality, the version of him that I never actually met. On the other hand, the reverse could be true. The first time I met him could have been in my normal reality, and the second time could’ve been when I slipped into the alternate universe. So which is it? Sounds confusing! Both times I knew him for a significant amount of time, like a few months, so the question is, how long can you remain in a parallel universe without knowing it before you slip back into your normal reality? And how many times do you slip back and forth between these parallel realities without really knowing it, because they look so much alike? There have been times when I would hear in the News that some important figure or actor had died — then a few years later I hear the same person died again! What the hell is that all about?

Likewise, many years ago I found a beautiful park in a particular city where I ended up living for about ten years, but I could never find that park again, as if it never existed, and it was not on any maps of the city. Weird, huh? It must’ve only existed in a different dimensional frequency or parallel universe that I had inadvertently slipped into.

One day I was driving down a street, and this obnoxious truck was tailgating me; too close for comfort. Near a gas station I decided to turn up this street, and luckily he did not follow me as I turned. But I craned my head around to look back, and neither had he proceeded straight down the street I came from! This truck was nowhere to be seen! As if it had just disappeared! It must’ve seen the truck for a minute in a different frequency, then slipped back into my normal frequency.

A good lady friend of mine, whose name shall remain Anny Nomous, had a weird experience about a year or so ago. She wore these goofy earrings that were normally hard to put on and take off, probably because of her pierced ears. One of the earrings was giving her problems, as usual, so she just took it off and put it on her dining room table. Then she went and took a shower. Oddly, she found that same damn earring stuck in her long hair. How the hell did it get there?!  To this day she can’t explain it.

So our current reality is apparently very much like the dream world, unstable and disjointed and malleable. But because we completely believed in our known laws of physics, we think these strange phenomena can’t possibly exist. I think we don’t completely understand how things really work, and that there are more laws of physics than we know or will admit, or such laws of physics involve phenomenon we don’t understand as yet.

I would much rather believe that there are a series of dimensional frequencies or alternate universes where life and reality is very different. I don’t mean exactly parallel universes necessarily, because the idea of me having another self or many selves in these other near-identical universes is ridiculous! It’s the stuff of science fiction. But the experiences I’ve had tells me otherwise. Or perhaps we exit in a multi-dimensional universe – or multiverse – where numerous potentialities in each one’s life exists, and we often glimpse these other possible avenues we may or may not trod down, but at the moment we exist in a primary frequency, and if it’s physical manifest nature is strong enough, it will persist. Or if you change your mind about something and make a different decision, another potentiality will manifest. Or there may be a split where you slip into another frequency, get a glimpse of what might happen, or will happen, or something disappears there or changes, then you slip back into your normal frequency.

Maybe I’m just a demented and deranged nutjob! But I know I’m not the only one. There are other crazy people running around that have had reality shift experiences.

And what about you?

I’m not your ordinary nutjob who necessarily believes in parallel universes, but I’m more of a reluctant victim of this phenomenon of high strangeness. What the hell do I mean? I’ve discussed much of this in Zones Unknown, in the multipart article “Mysterious Dimensions and Alternate Universes.” So check it out.

What I’m saying is, by sheer accident I’ve had weird experiences that are difficult to explain in any normal context — except that I might be irreparably insane. But I knew that already. That’s beside the point.

It’s narrowly possible that I’m suffering from schizophrenia or memory-confusion disorder (which I just invented!) or whatever. But I highly doubt it. I may be insane, but I’m not totally crazy.

Anyway, I discovered a belief system called “reality shifts” which means your personal reality seems to shift around randomly in such a way that it makes the world around you seem unstable and disjointed, as if it were an illusion, and many people think it is. It started as a Hindu thing, then other folks got suckered into this illusory concept. When it happens to you, sometimes you get a glimpse of a glitch, or rather, something illogical occurs that contradicts your normal perception of reality — if it is indeed reality.

There may be a fine line between what we think is reality and what’s illusion.

What the hell am I talking about?

Stay tuned and you’ll find out next time!
