Well this is really the nexus of the matter, Lotusmind— in terms of effective self-refining practice.
The dissolution of the matrix can be directly realized (over a long period of time) by eliminating one's internal dialogue at the most fundamental, basic level of constant, subtle chatter relative to sensual and rational(?) perceptions being being judged by… who?
This who is basically irrelevant, because "who" doesn't exist in any form other than by its function. This perpetrator of needless self-reification perpetuation has become a robocop. That the matrix is held in suspension by none other than words is the critical factor. The who's compulsion to perpetuate self-reflective activity is a purely psychological momentum of arbitrary units of "meaning" called
following thoughts unawares.
The matrix is another word for karma. The psychological apparatus of the being that is going to die is a bundle of functions relative to having a body— it's really a brilliant functionality; but it's not real.
Ok, so karma is all there is to work with in terms of creation, but fortunately, awareness is not created. Furthermore, "who" is actually a simple problem due to its having jumped its tracks by usurping the identity of the
real, when "who" is just the absolutely capable administrator of perfunctory affairs relative to traffic control amidst creation's elementally kinetic and incrementally fluxing aggregate comprising our delusional realm of wonder and terror.

What is liberation?
In the most basic way, it is the absence of "who's" mental chatter. This takes a lifetime of subtly continuous, nonjudgemental 24/7 mind by mind observation. This isn't a matter of formal meditation practice, which has never amounted to much more than practice in preparation for real practice.
Though some people seek trance-states as a method of comfort or else accrue astral adventures by such activity— all this does is strengthen the illusion of the person— which is the antithesis of liberation. Seeing reality as is without egologic affirmation, frees up creation's potential, in terms of spiritual (nonpsychological) evolution, because so much energy is wasted in sustaining the illusion of the person.
By analogy, the sundering of polite Southern culture became the sound of Rock and Roll. Hello Elvis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison and Carl Perkins (no band did more covers of Carl Perkins than the Beatles). The freeing up of this energy is a tremendous boon: to, from, and by
universal good.
Real practice is spontaneous responsive subtle adaption to conditions in terms of any given set of relationships defined by the situation, not the person. The person realizing that it is the guest of a situation, whatever and however such parameters may be playing themselves out at any given time and place, sees relative to the situation, not the person. Such "selfless" orientation is neither good nor bad, just nonpsychological. By introducing the term as such, above, the word "spiritual" does not reference any aspect of the psychological realm. The spiritual or nonpsychological realm is the realm of liberation. It does not displace bondage to endless karmic cycles nor change any aspect of delusional existence, so only those bound to creation are still
free to do so, at their own peril.
Those who have reverted to the primacy of the nonpsychological are not beholden to birth and death of cyclic karmic evolutionary perpetuation, in terms of situational contexts, yet subtle response is what it is. Face it, Jesus got a raw deal. The sixth patriarch of Chan (buddhism) survived all attempts on his life, except for the last…
In other news, eventually, ego craps out under the scrutiny of one's unbending intent, by virtue of continuous subtle observation of mind by mind, and through step by step gradual practice, one begins to see reality without the incessant "instant replays" forever looping in the self-reflecting psychological apparatus' egologic— or if one does, such "replays" are seen in the context of the situation, which is the definition of "objectivity".
No one needs to know— even so, Mother Nature takes note, and initially doesn't make it easy for the audacious to "take over creation and steal its potential." This being the real reason for achieving liberation, which I won't address for now. One might ponder the analogy of Rock and Roll…
Ultimately, there is no escape, as reality and delusion not only look the same because they are the same, the fact of their actual undifferentiated unity
IS the basis of transcendent enlightening activity. Karma and potential are one; there are no two minds— the matrix is wholly of one's own making. Therefore it is perfectly reasonable and possible to un-make this matrix, put you-know-who in its place, and discover (and explore) the realm of one's inconceivable being,
by virtue of one's karmic existence.
