Can somebody, who read Sophia Stewart's "The Third Eye- Where it all Begins" wich is
apparently the basis of the movie trilogy "The Matrix" can tell us their assessment, if they think it is the basis of it or if there are many elements in the book wich proof that it is in fact so?
Here is an interview with Sophia Stewart:

She believes in god and she also claims that "Terminator" was at least in parts based on her book
An this is one of the basis Stewart is claiming this:
Stewart/paraphrased said:
"I'll be back" is a direct quote out of my book...
Well I find that kind of strange especially because the book in question seems to be in part of a saviour that will return back to the earth (Jesus I guess)...
On Amazon we can read:

Read the THIRD EYE along with additional information such as Court documents, letters of access, registered return receipts, FBI investigations and Stewart's future projects.

And further in the comment section we can read another of her so called proofs:

This book consists of two parts: the "story" (actually more of a rough outline of an undeveloped story) and a listing of "evidence" that the creators of the Terminator and Matrix series plagiarized the book in creating their works. My view on the story portion first, as the "evidence" portion is by far the majority of the book and takes longer to review:
The basic premise is that the majority of humanity has been enslaved by an alien. A prophecy states that a savior, the chosen one, will come with divine powers to free humanity. The book is *very* short, and is obviously unfinished, a fact the author does not deny (although calling an obviously incomplete rough draft her "masterpiece" seems a bit misleading to me). The story, such as it is, is fairly interesting, and there some fairly good metaphors and philosophical leanings in it. All in all, as it stands now it's not very good. If the author finished it, it might be a fantastic story. Or it might suck. "The devil is in the details," as they say, and the true test of an author is not whether they can come up with an interesting backbone to their story; it's whether they can flesh it out with interesting, compelling characters and events that draw you in that determines whether a story is good or not. However, considering that this story has been in an unfinished state for 26 years, it seems unlikely Ms. Stewart will ever finish it.
The majority of the book consists of the author trying to prove plagiarism on the part of the creators of "The Terminator" and "The Matrix." There are copies of receipts, correspondence, and various legal documents detailing her copyright dates, court cases, etc. While I don't doubt that Ms. Stewart is telling the truth about when she wrote her story, what she fails to do is show conclusive, direct connections between her ideas and those of the two movie series.
Most of the similarities I see between "The Third Eye" and the Terminator/Matrix series are superficial, and not indicative of plagiarism. One such example is the prophecy of the coming of a savior with superhuman powers to free an enslaved humanity. I've read many books with this basic premise, and like the Matrix and Terminator movies, most had little to nothing in common with this book. Some predate it (not terribly difficult as it remained unpublished until 2006) and many predate the original copyright date of 1981. [...]
And remember that book has only 143 pages and apparently "the "evidence" portion is by far the majority of the book".
So let's guess: If we conservatively assume that the majority of the book is made up of that "evidence", then the rest should be the actual story on wich the movie is based
according to her .
So let's say the majority is 51%, that would be about 73 pages of "evidence" and 70 pages of the actual story (conservatively speaking, because "by far the majority" is actually implying that the evidence portion of the book is much bigger then 51%...).
This further more makes it hard for me to believe that "The Matrix" is based on those
at most 70 pages.
And when I listen to her talk, I kind of get the feeing "She can't be the author of "The Matrix"", if you know what I mean".
So everything points for me (as of now) to the direction that Stewart is in for the money, so to speak.
And she desperately tries to sue them to get rich, while she probaply knows that they didn't use her material...
And I guess she is by far not the only one who tries to make money that way...
