The Architect: Plato, Seneca & Rabbi Manis Friedman

Who created the Matrix? What is the Matrix? What is the meaning of the name of God?

I am the Architect. I created the Matrix. The world as you know it has in fact been created. This is what is meant by “Created by God.” Humans live in two realities – the objective world and that of the non-objective, or “constructed” world. This has often been referred to as the allegory of Plato’s cave, as the difference between aletheia and veritas, and as “reification,” from the Latin re/res for “things”. Thus Octavian’s famous inscription tablets were titled “Res Gestae,” “Things (I’ve) done/accomplished.”

From Manley P Hall, probably a made up name by which the Brotherhood of the Freemasons penned some of their works made available to the public:

“There exists in the world today, and has existed for thousands of years, a body of enlightened humans united in what might be termed, an Order of the Quest. It is composed of those whose intellectual and spiritual perceptions have revealed to them that civilization has a Secret Destiny–secret, I say, because this high purpose is not realized by the many; the great masses of peoples still live along without any knowledge whatsoever that they are part of a Universal Motion in time and space.

Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle, Buddha, Jesus and Mohammed are among the greatest names recorded in history; but it is not customary to regard the men who bore these names as statesmen or sociologists. They are thought of as philosophers, sages, seers, and mystics, whose doctrines have no application to the political needs of an industrial civilization. Yet it is men like Plato and Buddha who still exercise the most powerful force in mortal affairs toward the perpetuation and preservation of a civilized state among all nations.

All of the great leaders of ancient times realized and taught that the establishment of a state of permanent peace among the nations depended upon the release of human ideals, but through properly trained and disciplined minds capable of interpreting these ideals in terms of the common good.

World democracy was the secret dream of the great classical philosophers. Toward the accomplishment of this greatest of all human ends they outlined programs of education, religion, and social conduct directed to the ultimate achievement of a practical and universal brotherhood.

One of the most ancient of man’s constructive ideals is the dream of a universal democracy and a cooperation of all nations in a commonwealth of States. The mechanism for the accomplishment of this ideal was set in motion in the ancient temples of Greece, Egypt, and India. So brilliant was the plan and so well was it administrated that it has survived to our time, and it will continue to function until the great work is accomplished.

Philosophy set up its house in the world to free men by freeing them of their own inordinate desires and ambitions. It saw selfishness as the greatest crime against the common good, for selfishness is natural to all who are untutored. It recognized that the mind has to be trained in the laws of thinking before men can be capable of self-rulership. And it knew that the democratic commonwealth can be a reality only when our world is a world of self-ruling men.

And so it is from the remote past, from the deep shadows of the medieval world as well as from the early struggles of more modern times, that the power of American democracy has come. But we are only on the threshold of the democratic state. Not only must we preserve that which we have gained through ages of striving, we must also perfect the plan of the ages, setting up here the machinery for a world brotherhood of nations and races.

This is our duty, and our glorious opportunity.”

In my most sincere efforts to reveal the esoteric secrets of the world without resorting to lunatic-style conspiracy theories, to explain why the world is just as it can and should be, why the “conspiracy” is actually an act of incredible mercy and generosity of all our sages of all the races, religions and ethnicities, it is my hope and desire that those who are interested in such content do not fall into the rabbit holes of charlatans who try to allege a nefarious conspiracy, scapegoat people, invent villains, or promote hateful and supremacist content, several of whom I can think of on youtube right now. The Nazi Robert Sephr is one such lunatic and I sincerely hope, though I doubt, that people will think critically if they watch his content.

If there is a topic you’d like me to cover, I’d be happy to. Peace, eirenei, pax, pace, paz, frieden, shanti, mir, salaam, l’shalom. Good will to all people, and to all, a good night!
