Gnosticism and The Matrix - Lecture by Stephan Hoeller

Profound and animated explanation of 'The Matrix' from a Gnostic perspective. Gnosticism and Cinema: The Matrix and The Matrix Reloaded - Dr. Stephan Hoeller. * “Gnosis” (true insight), the doctrinal side of it, isn't the mad utterance of the conventional preachers and priests or the new agers and conspiracy salesmen, but it is pure rationality due to the fact that it explains the first cause of existence, our (current) predicament, and fighting against essentially prevalent ignorance. Also, it strengthens the mind to be self-sufficient (detachment morality).
