The Matrix is real (or is it?). . . Perhaps, more clearly, the maker of it's spell, the 'ego thought system' wants us to believe it's the only thing that is real - which is a state of separation from God, your Creator. Thus, the enemy of the ego is God, for it knows when we don't believe in our Creator God, we won't believe in ourselves, who too are the "Perfect Expressions" of God in this very instant; thus, it believes we will then naturally conclude 'the ego is your only god' (programmed!) - That's why "live" spelled backwards becomes that which isn't real (the Matrix).
