Mysterio is Not The Truth

In this age of grand delusion, 
you walked into my life out of my dreams

I don't need another change, 
Still you forced your way into my scheme of things

You say we're growing, growing heart and soul

In this age of grand delusion, 
you walked into my life out of my dreams

The second thing for you to realize is that power is power over human beings. Over the body but, above all, over the mind. Power over matter -- external reality, as you would call it -- is not important. Already our control over matter is absolute.' 

For a moment Winston ignored the dial. He made a violent effort to raise himself into a sitting position, and merely succeeded in wrenching his body painfully. 

'But how can you control matter?' he burst out. 'You don't even control the climate or the law of gravity. And there are disease, pain, death --' 

O'Brien silenced him by a movement of his hand. 'We control matter because we control The Mind. Reality is inside the skull. You will learn by degrees, Winston. There is nothing that we could not do. Invisibility, levitation -- anything. I could float off this floor like a soap bubble if I wish to. I do not wish to, because the Party does not wish it. You must get rid of those nineteenth-century ideas about the laws of Nature. We make the laws of Nature.' 

'But you do not! You are not even masters of this planet. What about Eurasia and Eastasia? You have not conquered them yet.' 

'Unimportant. We shall conquer them when it suits us. And if we did not, what difference would it make? We can shut them out of existence. Oceania is the world.' 

'But The World itself is only a speck of dust. And Man is tiny helpless! How long has he been in existence? For millions of years the earth was uninhabited.' 

'Nonsense. The Earth is as old as we are, no older. How could it be older? Nothing exists except through human consciousness.' 

'But the rocks are full of the bones of extinct animals -- mammoths and mastodons and enormous reptiles which lived here long before man was ever heard of.' 

'Have you ever seen those bones, Winston? Of course not. Nineteenth-century biologists invented them. Before man there was nothing. After man, if he could come to an end, there would be nothing. Outside man there is nothing.' 

'But the whole universe is outside us. Look at the stars! Some of them are a million light-years away. They are out of our reach for ever.' 

'What are The Stars?' said O'Brien indifferently. 'They are bits of fire a few kilometres away. We could reach them if we wanted to. Or we could blot them out. The earth is the centre of the universe. The sun and the stars go round it.'

Winston made another convulsive movement. This time he did not say anything. O'Brien continued as though answering a spoken objection:

'For certain purposes, of course, that is not True. When we navigate the ocean, or when we predict an eclipse, we often find it convenient to assume that the earth goes round the sun and that the stars are millions upon millions of kilometres away. But what of it? Do you suppose it is beyond us to produce a dual system of astronomy? The stars can be near or distant, according as we need them. Do you suppose our mathematicians are unequal to that? Have you forgotten doublethink?'

Winston shrank back upon the bed. Whatever he said, the swift answer crushed him like a bludgeon. And yet he knew, he knew, that he was in the right. The belief that nothing exists outside your own mind -- surely there must be some way of demonstrating that it was false? Had it not been exposed long ago as a fallacy? There was even a name for it, which he had forgotten. A faint smile twitched the corners of O'Brien's mouth as he looked down at him. 

'I told you, Winston,' he said, 'that metaphysics is not your strong point. The word you are trying to think of is solipsism. But you are mistaken. This is not solipsism. Collective solipsism, if you like. But that is a different thing: in fact, the opposite thing.”

The Matrix is a system, Neo.

That System is Our Enemy.

But when you're inside, what do you see?

Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters.

The very minds of the people we are trying to save.

But until we do, these people are a part of that system and that makes them Our Enemy.

You have to understand most of these people are not ready to be unplugged.

And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on The System that they will fight to protect it.

Were you listening to me or looking

at the woman in the red dress?

Look again.

Freeze it.

This isn't the Matrix?

It's another training program designed to teach you one thing:

If you are not one of us,

you are one of them.

What are they?

Sentient programs.

They can move in and out of any software still hardwired to their system.

That means that anyone we haven't unplugged is potentially an agent.

Inside the Matrix they are everyone,

and they are no one.

We have survived by hiding and running from them but they are the gatekeepers.

They're guarding all the doors and holding all the keys.

Sooner or later, someone will have to fight them.

Someone?

I won't lie to you, Neo.

Every single man or woman who has fought an agent has died.

But where they have failed, you will succeed.

Why?

I've seen an agent punch through a concrete wall.

Men have emptied entire clips at them and hit nothing but air.

Yet their strength and speed are still based in a world built on rules.

Because of that, they will never be as strong

or as fast as you can be.

What are you telling me?

That I can dodge bullets?

No, Neo.

I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready...

You won't have to.
