The famous allegory of Plato's cave is a great illustration of the cognitive trap of ignorance, where the individual is unaware of the limitations of their own perception.
This place of ignorance is not just some dark cave, deprieved of light (information), it's an astral dungeon, a deprivation chamber.
In such situation, some people get an acute feeling of epistemic claustrophobia, a lack of freedom in the truest sense of the word.
The resulting mental numbness feeds the soul with empty fables and tidbits of ill-founded spiritual hope.
Plato presents this imprisonment as deadly bondage. Quoting The Odyssey, he claims: “I'd rather be a humble servant on Earth than ruling over the shadows of the dead”.
Which means he would rather be at the bottom end on Original Earth than at the top of this world of illusion designed by the Demiurge.
As Plato points out, trapped in this experimental simulation, the soul experiences sadness beyond words at being unable to understand, achieve or experience anything meaningful in this matrix.
The ultimate horror of ignorance is the helplessness it bestows.
May the science of the mind helps you break the shackles of ignorance.
