Steiner's Hues and the Matrix's Choice: A Gnostic Parallel

Rudolf Steiner's profound exploration of color transcends mere physicality, revealing them as conduits of spiritual truth. Though predating "The Matrix," his insights into red and blue's symbolic power eerily mirror the film's iconic choice.

This essay delves into this striking parallel, examining how Steiner's Anthroposophical principles resonate with the Matrix's gnostic themes, offering a unique perspective on illusion, awakening, and the human quest for deeper understanding.
