“Animals suffer as much as we do. The spirit of unconscious cruelty with which we treat the animals should be fought against. We won’t have the audacity and the stony heart to impose such sufferings on them if only we were humane and understand what true humanity entails. And appallingly, humanity may not find the desired peace until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things.” -Shenita Etwaroo”

“The heroic quest typically highlights a seemingly average person (think Thomas Anderson before he becomes Neo) who embarks on a perilous undertaking, confronts challenges and temptations, and ultimately returns to his or her starting place, transformed and usually upgraded. This myth appears central to human experience. The Tarot, for example, which reads as a distillation of ancient mythology, is in essence about the heroic quest to become one’s true self. Even the parable of the Prodigal Son can be interpreted as a retelling of the Hero’s Journey. This journey isn’t merely external; it’s primarily internal. The Hero’s Journey, applied to our Matrix analogy, suggests that the only way out of the so-called simulation is into oneself. The hero’s ultimate inner battle is against the enemy within, the shadow self, our own Agent Smith, the unrecognized and unintegrated aspects of the psyche that only battle and hinder us until we make peace with them.”

“I’m all for awareness, critical thinking, even healthy doses of skepticism. But in the end, I don’t feel that the “information war” is a battle worth fighting because it simply can’t be won. The Dragon can’t be defeated on its own turf (the Matrix) using its own “operating system” (the installed one we think of as our minds). As powerful as he was, not even Neo could defeat the Architect when he finally “met his maker.” Heck, he couldn’t even overpower his shadow, Agent Smith, until he wised up and simply stopped fighting.”

“I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid... you're afraid of us. You're afraid of change. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin. I'm going to hang up this phone, and then I'm going to show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world without you. A world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible. Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you.”

“Membaca Kitab Suci buat saya adalah memasuki labirin. Ada ilusi dari sebuah jalan yang lempang dan lurus dengan sebuah 'pusat' - 'akhir yang tertebak, sementara dalam kenyataannya, labirin adalah lorong-lorong sempit. Kita hanya bisa maju atau mundur. Dinding-dinding masif di kanan kiri. Selalu berbelok dan menikung tak terduga. ... Dalam labirin itu, fakta dan fiksi berkait, dunia berkelindan dengan kata-kata. Dan kata-kata tersebut menyajikan semesta yang gumpil - tak utuh, tak sepenuhnya benar, dan menyembunyikan sesuatu yang kita belum tahu. Kitab suci, seperti juga labirin, bukanlah sebuah peta - proyeksi dua dimensi dari garis dan kurva yang saling bertaut. Peta, hanya sebuah abstraksi, sekumpulan tanda dan legenda yang tak sanggup menggantikan pengalaman. Sementara itu dalam kitab suci, seperti juga labirin, selalu ada misteri yang tidak menuntut untuk dipecahkan, melainkan dialami. Berkali-kali.”
