Review: "The Matrix Warrior" by Jake Horsley

Finished this book about two months ago, but just now catching up on reviews. Since I loved the basic thesis behind The Matrix that what we know as reality is just a computer program, I wanted to understand about the history behind this thesis. The Matrix Warrior does a good job at that. Horsley draws connections between the world of the movie and our own world and shows how the characters in the movie transcend the false reality the matrix imposes on humanity. Combining an in-depth examination of the film with philosophical inquiry and the teachings of Castandeda, Jake Horsley has produced in Matrix Warrior a profound yet witty analysis-and all readers need to get “unplugged.” It is a VERY entertaining read if you are at all interested in the idea that there may be alternate realities.

Horsley shows how “the One” is a concept in many faiths around the world. Anyone can be “the One” with enough enlightenment. The more important thing though, is to take the path of the matrix warrior. To search for reality. To be conscious of what you are “plugged” into and consciously “unplug” from the things you don’t like. Too many of coast through life taking what comes. Being “the One” in large part involves asking the right questions, seeking answers, and deciding for yourself what your reality should be. Good advice for all of us, not just fanatics of the movie series.
