The Living Matrix, DVD Review

Written by Julie Taylor

Last night I rushed to see the end of a movie that I had long wanted to see the whole of: The Living Matrix. I was late, driving up and down the road in a frenzy, peering through the rain and windscreen wipers for the right address.  Every month the Positive Living Centre holds a movie night for exactly this sort of film. For some silly reason I had put off seeing The Living Matrix for several months.  (As my business partner Martin Guay would tell me, nodding wisely and smiling, “Ah, this is the Conflict of the Sheep, my friend”!) I was determined to watch at least part of this film and prove the steadfastness of the poor old sheep.

This morning I watched the movie again - I ignored the phone and the list of other jobs I had to do.  I was speechless.  And there was something else in my heart...  A sadness.  That I had not given the time to myself to acknowlege 'me' for all these years. I decided to write this review and urge you to watch it too, in the hopes that even one person might reach out and seek healing, that their life might be restored to them.  It is a wonderful movie. A clear, well set-out ‘document’ that proves its case beyond any reasonable doubt. The case for mind over matter... That I know so well, personally. Although I could never put it in words.

I am confused?  Chronic disease is rampant and there is often very little that Western (allopathic) medicine can offer.  We know that.  We know well that the answer does not lie with our family doctor or the hospital. And yet we hang on to this possibility and spend millions of dollars on it. We keep doing more of what we've already done.  Even though it fails.  We refuse to explore the not-so-new ‘new’ (it’s been around for over 80 years) alternative medicine. Part of me is very frustrated: surely my friends and family who have lived with me and seen for themselves my own recovery from supposedly ‘permanent’ sickness would at least want to explore the alternatives for themselves when they are sick?  Part of me is hurt.  Sad.  I feel unacknowleged.  And to see such long and painful struggles in my friends and family.  

A few months ago a traditional Native Healer, White Thunderbird, singled me out - he didn't know me from Adam - and declared that he clearly saw in me “the woman who stands in the light.  A healer.”  I was speechless. I was also delighted because there is a part - an important part - deep inside me that cares about and wants to help restore others to health. He also told me that I should not be afraid of “my light” and I should “step into it”.  More and more I will do this. I want to do this - I guess 'obviously' in light of ReBuildingYou and my choice of career!

Sometimes there are no answers in Western allopathic medicine.  This is a fact.  A simple fact.  We humans are much more than Descartes and Newton decided that were.  They successfully ‘sold us’ in the belief that we were the sum of many parts that could be reduced to molecules and chemicals and that this would explain our whole existence and provide answers to every disease.  And the Catholic church would take ample care of our spiritual side. This just isn’t the case.  But somehow we want to make this true?  Perhaps because we were so successfully ‘sold’?  We continue flogging a horse who can barely struggle up the multi-million dollar road that we built for him.  

For over 25 years I have known, for sure, that there was more than simple parts.  At least, I 'known' although I haven't really had any evidence or real knowledge. I experienced first-hand a healing - in myself - that flew in the face of Western medicine.  I recovered beyond any expectation: except my own.  I never doubted my own healing - although to be honest there was little substance behind my belief.  Gradually hundreds and thousands of similar examples have come to light: this is not ‘just me’.  It could so easily be you too... 

Take my hand - I’m offering it to you - and step out into the fabulous world described to us in The Living Matrix.  I am a ‘safe’ bet.  I was the baby girl who, although I could walk well, turned around and climbed safely down the curb, backwards, so that I could hold on.  I am also the girl who grew up hearing, over and over, that the mind is stronger than the body and belief alone is strong enough to ensure health. I believed it.  Although I know that my dad, who I heard it from, didn't have any hard facts to buoy up his belief either. Somehow I healed anyway. Believing 'secondhand' through my dad was enough, it seemed?

Keep the Western medicine that you know and add new alternative therapies to create healing. This is the equivalent of negotiating the curb by climbing down backwards.

In the The Living Matrix, Greg Becker and Harry Massey masterfully build a clear history for us, so we can see how this new energy/information medicine fits into our lives.  They  show us real examples from ordinary people - one of them just a young child - so that we can see for ourselves the results of Reconnective Healing and the work of Dr Eric Pearl.  We hear from acknowledged expert after expert and see with amazing clarity - and the help of first-class cinematography - exactly how and why this new paradigm works.

Lynne Taggart, author of ‘The Field’ explains how ancient civilizations and native cultures believed in a holistic universe of which we were part. Epigenetics is fast becoming accepted as the leading research field in our own universities and hospitals - the results of which research will likely not be made available to the sick for decades.  There are 30,000 different variations for every gene, which is indeed a blueprint that controls proteins.  The human genome project has shown that we humans are essentially the same as chimpanzees.  But are we?  If I gave you concrete and bricks and glass, how many different designs of house could you come up with? The genes are the concrete and bricks and glass.  The thousands of designs are the epigenetics.

This was a beautiful film that helped cement my own understanding - just a little because I am not a doctor.  It also reminded me of the urgency, on an individual level, that this medicine be shared.  My mom went today, November 20 2009, to the hospital to have a cortisone injection in her knee, which has been so painful that she has been unable to move out of her chair.  At the weekend I was urging her to at least ‘try’ healing with Martin Guay and myself, after she had her injection.  And she agreed, which was wonderful.  Interestingly, The Living Matrix also told of an experiment where a large group of patients with arthritis were divided into two.  One group was operated on in an accepted way to improve arthritis in the knee.  The other group was operated on - at least the scars looked identical.  But nothing was touched inside the knee.  Both groups had exactly the same relief from further pain. The placebo effect has long been accepted, by doctors and patients alike.  


To sum up?  An impossible task - other than to urge you to see the film for yourself!  There are a few points I want to pull out - and there are so many...

 

The Field by Lynn Taggart and The Reconnection by Dr Eric Pearl are two of the books whose authors appeared in this movie.  They are both excellent writers and I will be reviewing their books - although there are ample reviews (click on the book icon) already linked to here through Amazon.  The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown is an excellent novel by the author of The DaVinci Code and Angels and Demons.

 

These are some of the important take-aways that I recognized:

 

Hold on to your allopathic medicine - climbing down the curb carefully.  Allow it to help to reduce active disease, where it can do so much to help.  

Try an alternative ‘energy’ medicine (for example Acupuncture or Reiki, among many) or ‘informational’ medicine (TOT, NLP or Total Biology therapies, among many) in addition.  For complete healing...  After the acute phase of the disease is treated and when Western medicine no longer has the answer.

Remember, to believe is essential...
