Who's Your Agent Smith?

Who is your Agent Smith?  Everyone has one. We all have a past, rife with unresolved issues and rich subconscious terrain; often that shows up as multiple Agent Smiths in our external world.

Why?

To show us exactly where we need to heal. To have us turn inward when we go through the mill and ask, why??? Or we ask God, why??? Both are one in the same...if we are asking the true self.

It's the matrix design to get us to tap into source, ourselves, and a higher source, so we can see the bigger picture. Only then can we let the Agent Smiths in our lives fall away, fade out, be deleted.

Let’s break it down.

What’s Agent smith’s role?

He’s meant to chase us, annihilate us; he can multiply and shape shift. He can show up disguised as a judgmental friend, a boundary-crossing relative, a narcissistic boss or lover. Agent Smith can be anywhere and everywhere. The stronger our reactions are to Agent Smith, the more copies show up. The more we run in fear from what we need to face, the more he will chase.

The only way to rid ourselves from him, and his many copies, is to rid ourselves from the fear from whatever it is they threaten in us. Yet we can't do this if we don't understand ourselves first. We give the many Agent Smith(s) power because we haven’t referenced ourselves, investigated why and found our truth.

Instead, we cast blame on Agent Smith—(sh)he’s out to get me, a narcissist, trying to screw me, stealing from me, out for themselves, trying to control me, hurt me…the list goes on. We've all been there. The only way for these agents to be truly deleted from our personal matrix is to see them clearly; and we can’t see anything clearly when we are in a state of fear.

In the film The Matrix, Neo can only defeat Agent Smith until he finally connects to source, or the source code, and with clear sight, he is able to see Smith as a virus run amok, attempting to destroy him.

You see, the matrix is a mirror. It’s an intricate ever-changing web reflecting back to us what we haven’t yet dealt with within ourselves—put simply, where we haven’t achieved clarity or sovereignty within. The stronger the reaction to these real-life Agent Smith(s), the more of a flashing red signal it is to stop and tap in to source. 

Sometimes Agent Smith can even show up within ourselves—as a saboteur of good things, or a projector of our own pain onto others. Others then become the Agent Smith we can't face inside. Again, a stop sign; a signal that tells us something needs consultation within.

Let’s say we have someone who stole from us—maybe they stole our time, our energy, a fair outcome, or actual money. We can't control what others do, even if it harms us. We have no choice but to resolve this within. We may need to to deal with the person in the external world, but it's not as important as resolving it within ourselves. Often we come first; then the enemy. If not, we'll be in a perpetual fight. And maybe when we do the work within, the enemy isn't as scary anymore. We've taken our power back, no matter the injustice or the damage.

Tapping into source means tapping into self, as we all are a part of source. When we externalize, we don’t realize this. When we internalize, no matter how real the matrix appears, we start mastering our reality.

How do we wake up from the matrix?

We must see Agent Smith and ask what is he here to teach me about life, and therefore myself. What disguises does he come in for me, what patterns do I see? Sun Tzu in his book The Art of War said:

“Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles.”

We when know thyself, maybe the fight even vanishes.

The trick to escaping the matrix, therefore, is to listen to ourselves, to ask the right questions—what is this showing me about me? My lack of boundaries, my need to people-please, my lack of confidence, my projection, my wound of...(you fill in the blank). When we answer this, we can free ourselves from not only Agent Smith and his many forms, but to some degree, from the matrix itself.
