If you believe having complete embodiment/control of you consciousness can help you escape the matrix...

# Then you may want to look into the rainbow body phenomenon (Jalu) of Dzogchen Buddhism.

Some buddhist monks can transform their physical body into light at will. I personally believe that these consciousnesses develop what is necessary to escape the machine (samsara in Buddhist lexicon).

Here are some links to US Dzogchen practice centers:

They have Ngondro online practice retreats as well (preliminary practices). These teachers teach in the Dudjom Lingpa Tersar lineage, which means they teach a specific highly efficient tradition of Dzogchen which is meant to help sentient beings achieve enlightenment (escape) in a single lifetime.

This is a list of Dzogchen centers all over the world:

There are also online courses for Dzogchen practices. I highly highly recommend Wisdom Publications.
