Reference material: The Allegory of the Cave
Posted by : bytter on Monday, August 16, 2004 - 12:13 PM : 1270 Reads

"The allegory of the Cave" is a little story written by Plato that appears in his most famous book "The Republic". This allegory has been mentioned by me in the forums, and since some people don't know about it, I thought it was a good idea to provide a link for the text (here). It is worth reading!

External authors: Gnosticism and Buddhism in The Matrix
Posted by : bytter on Thursday, July 01, 2004 - 11:57 AM : 1250 Reads

Abstract: "The Wachowski brothers' 1999 hit release The Matrix draws on multiple religious traditions to establish its complex worldview. Two of the most prominent are Gnostic Christianity and Buddhism, which, like the film, pose humanity's fundamental problem and its solution in terms of ignorance and enlightenment. Because of ignorance, people mistake the "material" world for something real, but they may "wake up" from this dream with help from a guide who teaches them their true nature. This article explores the film's pervasive allusions to Gnosticism and Buddhism, which in turn opens up the question of the film's overarching message and ultimate view of reality."

Joachim E. Wolf states: "This paper attempts to interpret the findings of quantum physics and other relevant scientific information. The logical conclusion is that mind is the basis of our reality, and matter evolves from it, not the other way around. A holistic logic system is postulated that unifies seemingly disparate concepts of physical science, psychology, philosophy, and religion."
