There is a lot of truth in that observation.
Resist the mind-meld.
That's why the first "Matrix" movie was so good. Reality and the conscious understanding that you are a slave to something other than God and good is painful. Men resist that pain and some prefer to fall back asleep, like Joe Pantoliano, the Cypher character. He desired the pleasure of stated senses and steak dinners to the raw knowledge of the real world.
"Awake to righteousness" -- 1 Corinthian s 15:34
"Wherefore he saith, awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light." -- Ephesians 5:14"As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness." -- Psalm 17:15
Good points. Thx.
