The difference between dreams and reality is that when you are awake, you know you are awake. You know that it is real and you can therefore learn to adapt and deal with the situations within which you find yourself. When you are dreaming, however, you don't know that you are asleep; you think you are awake, and therein lies the rub. And so this is the difference between the red and the blue pill. Truth, full disclosure, the good, the bad, and the ugly. But we know that it's real. Or... an imagined landscape, imagined connections, where nothing is as it seems and everything is an illusion. None of the experiences are real. None of our feelings or emotions are based on anything concrete. Relationships are fabricated therefore lack true substance. In essence, we have nothing. When the euphoria ends...and it will ...there is no soft landing; nothing to support the lie. I prefer truth any day of the week, no matter how hard a pill it is to swallow ... but yeah, I get the allure of the blue pill, of hallucinogenic drugs, the comforts of alcohol, the meanderings into virtual reality. Sometimes we all need an escape, I just wouldn't choose for that escape to be permanent.

I agree (most days. hehehe)
but the movie pointed out that both the red and blue pill were BOTH illusions...
when Cypher chose - he chose the blue pill as a means of total submission and surrender (and sacrificed other people's lives for his creature comforts!)
but after the end of teh second movie - we see that Neo chose the red - but even the red was still part of the illusion. it was a secondary world for those who sought what they THOUGHT was truth and freedom, but was actually just another layer of the deception.
If you are caught in both illusions... hehehe (looking back of course...) blue? red? or even more BEYOND the red. hehehehe
Ok if we are talking both pills leading to an illusionary life then maybe we do need to do what @tattoodjay and @bluefinstudios suggest, and turn the construct on its head, address the imbalance, and throw back both pills in one quick slug. A little peace, a little drama ... simulation at its most pure ... I mean isn't that what real life looks like anyway? 😉 While we're about it... can I buy an oculus in either of these realities?... you know...just in case 😂
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small,
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
PURPLE PILLS ALL THE WAY!
hahahahahahahaha
you are gonna try my oculus when you get here! hahahaha
haha ...@bluefinstudios... the matrix has her in its grasp... do not yield.. I repeat...do not yield🤣
Seriously though, I must check out your Oculus and that meditation download and see what you are on about because it does sound sublime 💗 (I hope Blue gave up reading after the first line hehe)
