The illusion can make it pleasant even to be in prison, Nelson Mandela argued. And Sigmund Freud provided an interesting conclusion about the state of all mankind and how you can escape from this Matrix.
Magicians always initially create an illusion to distract the audience from reality, and while the attention of the entire public is focused on simple tricks, the "magician" has an excellent opportunity to deceive everyone. And some, even realizing that there is a certain catch, are so reluctant to admit deception that they are ready to believe in an event that does not exist in reality. All of humanity lives in a world of illusion. Anything your brain thinks about has been imposed by someone. It is not known for certain why it happened that all people became victims of mass consumption.
Bondage of the Matrix: The 6 Greatest Illusions
People with an unbalanced psyche have deprived us of the sense of reality, and thanks to social networks, their ideas entered the broad masses, even without the participation of the media. The main problem is that these people have dealt an irreparable blow to our psyche, now each of us is not sure of ourselves and our own future.
The renowned artist Banksy made a good conclusion: “people daily feed the brain with intellectual urine, which turns their life into an ordinary cinder and makes them believe that they are unattractive or that living elsewhere will be fun and joyful. Television makes your friends inadequate because advanced technology advertisers intimidate them.”
But advertising is only the tip of a huge iceberg, try to look deeper and you will see that everyone in this life is chasing illusions and ideas of universal obedience. We are all slaves in the truest sense of the word, since we are under consumer oppression and control every second. Initially, there is an invasion of our mind, it is reprogrammed exclusively for obedience.

If you dream of not only external, but also internal freedom, say goodbye to illusions. Here they are:
1. Order, law, power
Most of us abide by the law because there is no other way from a moral point of view, although regular scandals over corruption between politicians prove the opposite. The law is a very flexible thing, which is not difficult for people with good muscles to bend. The police must protect us from criminals, although in fact the police are capable of committing violent crimes, and this applies not only to Russia and Ukraine, but America and other European countries. Courts are always won by those with more money. Even ordinary civilians fail to protect their personal lives from the invasion of an all-knowing state. And such immoral behavior of all governments without exception leads to the destruction of entire nations. An illusion is the whole social order to which you obey implicitly.
The state is just a group of people who subjugate other, intimidated people. These are bandits who have the right to commit violence, they totally control and rob others, lie, hypocrite and act unfairly.
Remember - there is no order, law, justice. All this is a simple paraphernalia of power that allows you to hide the real truth and establish order in the whole world based on controlling people and destroying all dissent.
2. Happiness and well-being
Modern people use a huge number of expensive things that the monarchs of the 19th century could envy. Our financial system rests solely on the created illusion of prosperity. But do not forget that constant consumption leads to fraudulent activities, loans and credits. The financial system was created with the aim of further enriching the rich at the expense of the poor, and the former are sure that they have certain values.
Money will never make you happy. All that is necessary for happiness is good health, unity with nature and love of loved ones. By being attached to material things, you will never achieve peace of mind.
3. Freedom of choice
We are deeply mistaken when we think that we have the opportunity to choose how we live. In reality, the list of options is very limited, and all proposals, without exception, are bad. It doesn't matter at all which path you choose in life, you will still remain a slave to the tax and legal systems, which are carefully guarded by the state, which has the right to violence.
Modern democracy is a fake institution. It depends on who exactly wins the elections, how much people will be able to cloud their brains. You can be sure that you cannot choose freely. Fools are slaves who believe they are completely free. There is no need to harbor any illusions, we can all be easily controlled with a short leash.
4. True
Of course, we all want to know the real truth. Some people think that you need to unconditionally trust the state and all the information coming from the TV screens is true. Others believe quite differently and especially do not trust journalists. Both options are silly. Do you want peace and quiet in your own soul? Think for yourself. Whatever the truth, it will always have two sides.
5. Time
You have probably heard the statement more than once that time is money. In fact, your own life is time, stop being guided only by basic feelings, living according to a schedule and a calendar. Think of the eternity of spirit, your soul is part of eternity. We are constantly told that the present moment is not important, we are forced to analyze our own past and make plans for the future. Let go of all these thoughts, enjoy life in the here and now. Otherwise, you will be just a puppet in the hands of advertisers and the state, which will instill in you fear and uncertainty.
We experience happiness when spontaneous events occur in our life that destroy all previously built plans, when what is happening now is much more important than what will happen tomorrow. And if we measure time in money, then we can estimate our whole life in worthless dollars.
6. Separation
Everyone knows the statement - divide and rule, without such an approach it is impossible to effectively manage people, this is the main principle of authoritarian power, which is actively used in the event that it is necessary to reasonably make, for example, a military invasion of another country. And this method works.
We are convinced that we are a separate person and must compete with someone whose opinion does not coincide with our vision of the situation. We do not trust anyone, even our relatives, there are only competitors around. The truth is that people are not competitors, but partners, and how effective interaction with others will be directly depends on the quality of your own life.
According to some, division (for example, by nationality) allows you to console your own ego and get opportunities for identification. But the main purpose of separation is to make us obedient slaves.
Do not blindly trust everything that happens in the Matrix, try to maximize your rights and opportunities, and if someone demands that you listen to them and obey, remember - you are simply imposed on the idea of "rationality" and "legality". Nobody can sell you what you don't need.
