Is the Modern English Alphabet Our Concept of the Matrix?

It's a question that I've been contemplating for a while & was trying to word it in the most comprehensible fashion. If I fail in my attempt to do that here, I am sorry in advance >_< I understand that other alphabets can also be associated with numerical values similar to the Jewish aleph-bet, but this particular question is in correspondence to much of the excerpts from books that DaveD has included in the architecture of his Great Work, referencing specifically to the 26 symbols of the English alphabet.

My question also comes within the framework that time is linear...until it's not. So, did the creation of the English language immediately then instigate a butterfly effect that has, since its finalization, created a sense of us already being in a matrix/simulation without the clear identification of why or how? Some people say the have "figured it out" but then ruin their realization by talking about it/writing about it; they say "I have found the answer" when really, they have not because by the admission that you have, you reveal you haven't. It's not about the answer, it about

The Journey.

I like to assume the position that Socrates often took, "I only know one thing, and that is that I know nothing" when I entertain these questions and topics because otherwise it can get really messy and mentally unhealthy if I take it too, not seriously, but personally. So back to my question for this thread: If God created the world by utilizing the building blocks of the English alphabet, or perhaps a catalog of every single communicative symbol humanity has ever thought of, then would that not propose that the "end of the world as we know it" is misconceived as tragedy when really it is the cyclical, collective regeneration for a new beginning? For what if it is the growing realization that we are but infinite reflections of the wonderful array of colors or characters that span across the rainbow or storybook of humanity?

I do not have answers so that is why I still seek
I do not have a destination so that is why I am not lost
I do not have a direction so I can be guided by the whispers of the winds
I wish upon a falling star to see the end
So that I can be here for what's to come round
the next bend.

Good day Namuh,

Very interesting topic right here.I have to note that upon reading it several times,I found that it should be rather broken down into a handful of individual topics.

-Matrix
-Evolution of the alphabet(Easily understandable with some research but I will upload a graph that helps big time)
-The process of creation(the bread and butter of your post)

Briefly tackling the topic of the matrix,I would only like to quote something said by Morpheus in the first movie,:”Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself”.

And regarding the process of creation,Not only are we and by we I mean everything that treads upon this earth;Ignorant about the actual details of the process but also come up with our own assumptions and stories to the point where we desecrated the divine process of bringing existence into reality and the manifestation of the creator out of the living creative mind that is the “ALL” as Hermes the thrice great once mentioned.
Although the process mentioned by the thrice great along with the “speaking into existence” from genesis is the most understandable story,at least for me.

Thank you for your finite* time,
NEO signing off,

Basically this is the butterfly effect that triggered the modern English language,how important and relevant to the “Matrix” is up to you to decide.

But yeah I mostly agree(wink)
“It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth” Morpheus.(double;maybe triple wink)

Hello ONE, thank you so much for your response & insights. I very much understand that no external source can tell me what "the Matrix is" or what my path is or my "reason for being here," but I do still appreciate the occasional chiming in from other journeymen and women to tell me I'm doing ok. A bit of reassurance is nice.

Also thank you oober doober much for the chart! Charts or visual diagrams help me a lot. I follow Adam McLean on YouTube. He's an outstanding gentleman who I think has a great grasp on Hermeticism. Are there any books you recommend in leu of Hermes Trismegistus? I'm currently going through the Prt M Hru, the Golden Dawn self-initiation book, & Aleister Crowley's Book of Thoth. Oh! And recently downloaded a PDF of both volumes of Helena Blavatsky's Isis Unveiled.

Anyway, thank you again!

Greetings again friend,

You are most welcome.
What got me into Hermetic philosophy is what I personally recommend anyone start with,you got “The Hermetica” “The Emerald Tablet” “Corpus Hermeticum” “The way of Hermes” and finally “The Kabalion” all are very informative and rich although upon reading the Kabalion for yourself you would realize that it requires multiple readings and study that would last you a lifetime to acquire the full potential of the words.

Some recommendations that are not directly linked and exclusive to Hermes are two VERY important books that are “Secret teachings of all the ages” and “Three books of occult philosophy”

These would give you something to sink your mind’s teeth into for quite some time.

Thank you for recommending some books yourself that I will most definitely check out today and feel free to converse/ask about anything.

Have a good day,
ONE,

Good morning again Neo - From the sources you referenced, I have read The Kybalion which coincidently was the easiest read to me thus far. I infer that it most likely is authored by William Atkinson under the alias of "Three Initiates." For the next book, I haven't been able to determine which translation of the Emerald Tablets I should read? I do particularly enjoy refreshing myself with what Isaac Newton provided. As for the Corpus Hermeticum, I own a copy but have yet to entertain its pages yet.

There are two volumes to the Hermetica, both available on Amazon but I wonder if I can get my free downloads of them off the 1Library website (I heavily recommend registering an account cuz it gives you 20 free PDF downloads). If you want other sources which provide free viewing of Hermetic, Rosicrucian, or Golden Dawn texts, Adam McLean's website is: https://alchemywebsite.com/texts.html

Lastly, The Secret Teachings of All Ages by Manly P. Hall is DEFINITELY on my reading list. I think after I need a break from taking notes on the current material I'm studying; I'll couple Helena Blavatsky's Isis Unveiled with Manly P Hall's Secret Teachings. I like reading two or more texts simultaneously because it's easier to see the corresponding terms, the variations of the same symbolism, & ultimately, I don't feel nearly as bored xD

I hope that your weekend has gifted you with some relief from whatever dis-ease the week prior generated.

Much love,
QueforEu
