The Matrix Revealed: the beginning

The Matrix Revealed: the beginning…

In 1981, a year before I started working as a journalist, I was making notes for a novel.

The title was: The Human Who Knew Everything.

The shape of the novel had morphed many times. I settled on one core idea: a human believes that nothing can surprise him.

He’s quite sure he knows everything worth knowing—and if he doesn’t, and he learns what it is, he won’t feel different, he won’t look at life in a different way.

He’s set.

In the course of the novel, he comes up against his father, whom he hasn’t seen in many years. They’ve always had a raw contentious relationship.

His father confesses that his whole life has been one long attempt to explain an experience he had during the war, on an island in the Pacific, in the middle of a battle.

The father can’t articulate it all at once. He says it changed his view of reality. This, from a man who was so set in his ways that he was sure he knew everything worth knowing.

As I continued to make notes on the novel, I remembered something my logic professor in college told me just before I graduated.

He said, “Know when you don’t know something.”

He meant, when you admit you don’t know something, you’re free; you’re free to find out what it is and learn it.

At that point, I stopped making notes and wondered what it might be like to work as a reporter, an investigator—exploring what I didn’t know.

How deep could an investigation go?

I spent the next 25 years finding out.

In the late 1980s, I met Jack True, a hypnotherapist, in Los Angeles. We began a long series of conversations, which evolved into more than a hundred formal interviews.

With his patients, Jack was on the track of something tremendous, something he called “the lock and key.”

The first time I asked him what it was, he said, “It would be the deepest kind of conditioning, programming. It’s the place where the mind and the world meet…the mind fits like a key into the world.”

And then what?

“Then,” he said, “the mind settles on accepting a certain overall range of information and space that is limited, and that range becomes a person’s reality.”

I then discovered that Jack was working with certain patients to “break the lock and key.” That was his mission.

I eventually found out how deep that process was.

I began making notes for what would become, fifteen years later, my first collection, The Matrix Revealed.

Jack and I worked on those notes together. The collaboration took us into many areas: the early creative exercises of Tibetan schools, fifteen hundred years ago; the CIA MKULTRA program; what Jack called the “time, rhythm, and pace of deep propaganda”; the strategies of political and spiritual collectivism, moving forward from ancient Egypt; and of course, the basis of hypnotic inductions and suggestions.

Through a series of synchronistic events, I met a retired propaganda operative of the first order, Ellis Medavoy (pseudonym), who had worked for several elite groups over a long career.

Ellis and I did many interviews. He explained to me, at a level I had never conceived, the nuts and bolts of massive and long-term propaganda psyops; the art of altering perception.

Through these relationships, I came to understand that, as one travels further and further into the rabbit hole, a sense of incurable optimism grows.

It stems from seeing, at a profound level, how reality is being created—and by transference, how it can be created now…not only differently, but along astonishingly different paths.

That unshakable conviction, and a corresponding long-term view of the future, informs everything I do.

Jack died in the 1990s. Ellis relocated, and hasn’t been in touch in several years. I’ll never forget what they imparted to me, and the mutual collaboration that allowed us to advance our research beyond what we thought was possible.
