[...] you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else, you were born into bondage, born inside a prison that you cannot smell, taste, or touch. A prison for your mind.

–Morpheus

We can live in our thoughts, we can live our thoughts, we can be our thoughts, caught up in dramas generated by our minds, thinking, analysing, obsessing, re-living, agonizing, shortly: digesting the thought food supplied to us by our brain - that’s the Blue Pill, Virtual Reality, Bondage we were all born into.

Luckily, as creatures equipped with consciousness, we also possess a seemingly hidden from us ability to distance ourselves from our thoughts, ability to allow them to exist without actually us paying too much attention to them, without us acting upon them, without us reacting to them - that’s the Red Pill, Quantum Reality, being the Observer of the Experiment called “life” rather than laboratory animal being experimented on by our very own mind.

The choice is ours but it is important to consider Morpheus’ words here:

I didn’t say it would be easy, Neo. I just said it would be the truth

–Morpheus

Those words are absolutely critical: many of us bravely decided to take the Red Pill, but in a wrong arrogant belief that it would somehow give us an advantage, improve quality of our lives, enable us to have more control over Virtual Reality we have to deal with every day, free us from the bondage we were born into. What Morpheus is trying to emphasise then, and many of us had a pleasure of painfully learning that lesson themselves, is that taking the Red Pill does not automatically “make things better” - it is often, in fact, that taking the Red Pill makes things seemingly worse, to start with anyway - so it is vital that we understand our choice and the reasons behind it if we are determined to stand by it.

Why would anybody want to take the Red Pill then? Because, IMHO, that is the only choice we have, even though Blue Pill not only sounds more attractive, but also seems to make much more sense.

The reason why Blue Pill does not represent any choice is simple:
“everything we pay attention to grows”
If we chose to live our thoughts, listen to them, pay respect and cultivate them, effectively becoming their slaves - then they will just grow larger, hungrier, more demanding, and haunting, knowing that we have become dependant on them, until we will get totally trapped in them, unable to escape, stuck in a Virtual World of our own anguish which, over time, will become more and more unbearable, a living Hell.
Blue Pill is like any drug addiction - sooner or later it will start to bring in increasing misery, agony and suffering - its original purpose and attraction lost. Our investment in Blue Pill will cease to pay off and our losses will just keep mounting up over time.

The reason why Red Pill is the only choice is simple, for the very same reason:
“everything we pay attention to grows”
If we stop paying attention to our thoughts so deeply and passionately, particularly to unwanted ones, they will stop growing and slowly start to wither away, for they won’t feel needed anymore and there won’t be anything they can cling, hang on to. Our investment in Red Pill will start to pay off and our profits will just keep mounting up over time.

But the choice of becoming an Observer is not an easy one - some parts of us will still be deeply locked in Virtual Reality Bondage and therefore we will have to maintain the state of “dual reality” - being an Observer as well as a person trapped in his/her own Virtual Reality. And how will we know which is which?
One also has to accept the fact that one will never be able to fully free oneself from the Blue Pill Birth Bondage - Red Pill is not an absolute, guaranteed solution - it is an “every little helps” remedy.

Being a Prisoner of one’s own thoughts is a Living Hell
Being an Observer of one’s own thoughts is a Good Laugh

One single negative thought we managed to eradicate from our mind is one single improvement in quality of our lives, and therefore lives of others and the Universe as a whole. “Old habits die hard” implies that any newly learnt habit becomes more and more permanent over time. “Practise makes it permanent” as they say.

Harmony naturally results in a deep silence, joy, delight.
Conflict results in anxiety, anguish, stress, tension.
The EGO is nothing but all the tensions that you have created around
yourself.

–Osho

Yoga / Alexander Technique
Watch Kristina’s posture. It is very rigid, yet seems natural and happy. Even when re-composing herself (when she steps back to adjust) she never loses her posture. Which just proves that it is natural, naturally learnt habit - something which conscious mind does not need to control by thinking about it all the time (and not thinking about it in emergencies such as “step back”) - a habit which has been moved from “conscious” to “subconscious” - so we don’t have to “control it” anymore and it such move also frees our conscious resources to deal with some other matters which we could not previously due to overload.

Joyful Ordinary Journey
Watch Kristina’s smile at the very beginning, and her “I love Hopping” (which I misread for ‘I love hoping’ T-Shirt. Give some attention to the surroundings, ordinary gym, probably in some school, ordinary, sporting clothing Kristina and Vova are wearing, everything is ordinary, even the way they perform their “acts” are utmostly ordinary matter, there is no “Big Deal” anywhere, no matter how hard one searches for it. But there is an ordinary joy, pleasure of doing something that pleases one.

Egoless Perfection
Vova throws his clubs on the floor, but there is no anger in this motion, it is more of a manifestation “they are only clubs”. Kristina steps back at one point, probably to adjust to not 100% perfect delivery by Vova, but she does it with grace and, yet again, posture, and without any trace of annoyance, without any trace of failed expectations, she does it with total humbleness and joy of receiving an opportunity to put her faith, her composure into practise.

Control / Spontaneity / Mastery over one’s own life
The way Kristina and Vova juggle those clubs gives an impression that they are almost not necessary there, that it all happens “naturally”. They do not control clubs, clubs control them - they are just reacting to what has been thrown at them. And because it has been thrown at them - they have to react, in the only way they know, there is no time for thinking here, for any analysis. So they react to it in perfect way.
But of course. It probably took many, many years to learn, condition oneself to react that way. And here comes Zen and the Archer blending with the arch’s string, and Buddhism and Nirvana and Liberation: yes, for many, many years one has to practise, try to control something in order to reach perfection. But the sweet price of perfection, of this enormous effort and dedication is that, once one reaches it, one does not need to control or even think about it anymore: it is kind of shifted into subconscious, “spontaneous” area of our brain, Blind Zatoichi and his sword - he does not need eyes to confirm that what he is doing is right.

Automation and happiness
Kristina and Vova seem to managed to automate their “brain patterns” and corresponding bodily behaviour when it comes to juggling clubs. This maybe sounds awful as a term, but it isn’t. It just proves how “easily” (with many, many years of hard work and dedication) we can condition ourselves, our brains, to achieve anything we dream off.
We have, in fact, done it already. We have automated our brains how to be unhappy, how to create and consequently live on the dramas, how to look for something wrong when everything seems right…. how to prove to others that our lives are not as good as theirs because……

Anger Management
Last clip. Kristina and Vova seem to throw clubs at themselves “in anger” (new corporate term which I, worryingly, noticed is used more and more, “to do things in anger”) but they are not throwing them “directly”.. using the shortest route… they maybe throwing them angrily but following the longer, “up in the air” route… there are a lot of lessons, analogies and quotes here (”When angry count to four…”), the one which strikes me most is that, simply because of this longer route, the anger seems to hang in the air above them - so they are not affected by it, so practical advice here is that when angry and in need to hurl abuse at somebody, one should try to use the longest possible route for this abuse to be delivered…. and in most cases the anger will die out before abuse reaches its destination - so we have a chance to recall it or apologize for it before it even arrives hehehehe
