What we call source or God is also known as the unconditioned reality, “Source” means the fundamental reality that gives rise to everything , it is pure awareness, God, the Absolute, the Tao, Brahman, or whatever name you choose.
It’s described as unchanging, infinite, and nondual beyond time, space, or form.
In this model, Source isn’t something inside the universe; it’s the ground from which the whole universe arises.
The Hallucination Matrix.
Hallucination matrxi in this context can also be known as the Conditioned Reality. Everything “outside” Source, meaning everything that appears as separate: objects, people, ideas, planets, galaxies is part of what mystics call Māyā (illusion), or in modern language, a “matrix” or simulation.
It’s “hallucinatory” not because it’s meaningless but because it doesn’t have independent reality.
Just like a dream feels real when you’re inside it but dissolves when you wake up, the matrix feels real until you realize it’s being projected by consciousness itself.
It is known as a hallucination because Perception is filtered: your senses, beliefs, culture, nervous system all shape what you experience.
You don’t see “reality”. You see your interpretation of reality.
Quantum physics even supports this metaphor matter isn’t solid objects but probabilities observed by consciousness.
Because all phenomena are transient and dependent on perception, from the “Source” point of view, they are “dreamlike” or “hallucinatory.”
The Matrix Aspect.
A “matrix” here is not literally a computer simulation (though some use that metaphor) but a network of patterns — space, time, cause, effect, identity.
It’s a self-reinforcing system: perceptions create beliefs and beliefs reinforce perceptions.
Inside it, everything seems separate, but in truth, all of it is one movement of Source.
If only Source is real, then what you experience day-to-day is a training ground, a dream, a mirror.
You don’t have to reject it.
The point is to see through it.
When you stop clinging to the dream as “absolutely real,” you stop suffering and start living from Source (awareness itself).
Think of an ocean (source) producing waves (the matrix).
The waves look separate, but they’re made of nothing but the ocean.
If a wave forgets it’s ocean, it experiences fear, competition, and limitation.
When it remembers it’s water, it sees all other waves as itself.
The matrix is not “bad” or “evil.” It’s just illusory, like a movie.
Source is not “somewhere else.” It’s the very awareness you’re using to read these words.
Seeing this directly is what traditions call enlightenment, awakening, gnosis, etc.
