Matrix Messiah
Matrix Messiah lifts the lid on the subconscious matrix that most of us miss, the subliminal puppet-master of our day-to-day relationships and actions. Discover why certain people get under our skin; why we feel trapped by life; why inner peace continually eludes us. Spiritual writer, Dylan Morrison, examines the radical mission of Nazarene prophet, Yeshua bar Yosef, through the complementary lenses of Girardian mimetic theory and transpersonal psychology. The result? A key of knowledge, a long time hidden, yet deeply practical revelation that frees us from the gravitational field of interpersonal control and cultural manipulation. By exposing the roots of our individual psychic fragmentation and society's ever increasing violence, Matrix Messiah brings a much needed message of hope and reintegration, for religious and non-religious alike. A therapeutic insight into the Galilean holy man; one that will challenge the prevailing world views of Christianity, atheism and just about everything else in-between.

Dylan's first book 'The Prodigal Prophet', a 'Wizard of Oz' meets Bunyan's 'Pilgrim's Progress', details his roller coaster journey in search of the Divine in the often whacky yet deeply tragic world of Irish Charismatic religion.

Dylan Morrison speaks out of his traumatic inundation within a charismatic community and his rehabilitation thanks to a counselor who was aware of René Girard's insights into mimetic desire. We are only now starting to get a groundswell of accessible books introducing Girard's understanding of human desire & its relationships with the desires of others & this book is a welcome addition to them. The style is colloquial, rough and ready, and often flippant in an Irish way (well he IS Irish). Most important, his explanations of mimetic desire are grounded in everyday reality that any reader should be able to readily understand. Towards the end of the book, he encourages meditation and prayer as important practices to help us live with mimetic desire by grounding us in God. He gives us here a good basic and practical sense of direction for this practice. As far as living with mimetic desire socially, Morrison recommends gathering with two or three. I think that it is important to renew the churches with Girard's insights although I realize that it looks to be a steeply uphill battle right now & it makes sense to me that, being in recovery from a toxic congregation, Morrison would be gun shy about trying it again. This should be a helpful introduction to many as well as helpful for others of us working with Girard's thought to get down to earth with it.

Many insight gems on spiritual life in connection with psychology from a mimetic viewpoint, with a creative language rich in metaphors that speak to our culture

A friend once told me that a trufe was something that you know is true whether the facts back you up or not. It's always seemed like a good description of walking with the carpenter from Galilee. Along comes Dylan Morrison to say that maybe the problem is what we view as reality or facts; maybe we've got things wrong in our understanding of our standing with God.
