There is No Spoon

Lesson #1: The Mirror

If we can learn to see opposites, we are not far from the truth.

First, I want to thank Marty Solomon and the BEMA team for helping open my eyes to what I call the Divine Mirror. If we can grasp this concept, we will begin to unplug from the Babylonian world of corruption and live free. In an age of political chaos and media-fueled fear, we can anchor our trust in a divine story—one that doesn't shift with every headline.

If we believed in the last words of Jesus, and trusted his authority over everything we wouldn’t panic over the threat of civil war, global instability, AI integration, or powerful men boasting of untouchable wealth. Instead, we could live in peace—true shalom—under His reign.

But... to live in that state of Shalom, we must first grasp a central truth:

The world of men is governed by corruptible men. Men and women who cling to power by building systems of control. But the Bible invites us to see through that illusion.

The Matrix of Illusion is simply the inverse of God’s system of Shalom. One reflects the other—but in distortion and sometimes polar oppisite. Kind of like gold and fools gold. One has value the other is fooling you to believe it has value.

Genesis 1–2 unveils God's good world: order, beauty, peace.

Genesis 3 to Revelation 20 tells the story of humanity choosing its own way—yet also reveals God's patient invitation to return to Him.

This long stretch of Scripture is where we encounter the Divine Mirror.

To see it clearly, we have to be willing to bend our minds.

As the Matrix reminds us:

Spoon Boy: “Do not try and bend the spoon. That’s impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth.”

Neo:“What truth?”

Spoon Boy:

“There is no spoon.”

Neo:“There is no spoon?”

Spoon Boy:

“Then you’ll see that it is not the spoon that bends—it is only yourself.”

We each all have a choice: Will we live according to God's Kingdom, or remain enslaved to the world’s illusions?

Will we eat from the Tree of Life, or from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil?

That choice is the mirror. And what you see in it... will change everything. Choose wisely and thank you for reading.
