Quote
I don’t like the idea that I’m not in control of my life.
Neo
Departure
Neo departs the world he's known to discover what it's like to live in the Real World.
When he takes the pill, he leaves his past and enters a new phase of his existence.
Initiation
Neo enters the Transformative World and is "initiated" into the Inner Mysteries of the Matrix by Morpheus himself.
Now he reaches the Initiation Stage where he must become "something else" to survive in the Transformative World.
In this sense, Neo must be "born again" before he can understand the concept of The Matrix.
Return
Armed with the secrets of the "spiritual dimensions" of our existence, he returns as a "Savior" figure.
Neo returns to the Real World and armed with Mystical Powers from his Transfiguration in the Transformative World, he is the Chosen One (The One who can walk in Both Worlds).
The Bookends
Devices used
Communication (On Phone)
Technology becomes "The Bond" between Man and Machine
Beginning
Cypher talks to Trinity at the beginning and this is how the Agents track her.
Ending
Neo talks on the Phone to the Agents because he knows they're monitoring the call and he "wants" them to track him.
Names
When you reach a certain level of thought, you realize there are no accidents and there are no coincidences.
As if by some Grand Design, we notice patterns and realize that NAMES define so much and provide provocative meaning to the smallest details.
Here are deeper insights into the Names of the Matrix Characters:
Neo
Trinity
Morpheus
Neo
Prophet.
Messiah.
Savior.
Neo is a powerful way to define this character through the use of a name.
First, Neo means "new" and is short for the Neophyte (which literally translates as Initiate).
This is also the translation of the word ENOCH (the biblical Prophet that never knew death and was transported up to heaven).
At the end, Neo destroys the Agent and takes over The Matrix (able to view the code instead of the illusion).
As the Triune Apex of Human Existence (Savior, Prophet, and Messiah), Neo captures the imagination of our minds and taps into a deep-seated need to understand our Spiritual Potential.
Trinity
The Goddess.
The Feminine Mystique.
The Heart of the Universe.
As a Triune Figure herself, Trinity is a powerful moniker for this character.
When she kisses Neo and breathes life back into him (the Breath of Life is breathed into all human beings from GOD and GOD IS LOVE) because of her love for him, she not only "resurrects" Neo, she "resurrects" the hope that love will redeem all of humanity.
It is this kiss, the Kiss of Life (as aptly defined by the famous song performed by Sade), that ignites his true form (back on the ship) and re-awakens him into a higher plane of existence.
Essentially, it is LOVE (from the Heart Chakra) that opens us up to higher planes of existence (symbolized by his transformation from Mr. Anderson to Neo).
Morpheus
The Voice in the Wilderness.
The Mentor.
The Higher Calling, The Life Coach.
As the third part of the Triune Cache, Morpheus deepens the Matrix Mystery because he is the Chief Cornerstone, the foundation upon which Neo's Transformation is built.
As the Father Archetype, Morpheus is the Initial Spark that shapes Neo's mind to reach his potential (Crown Chakra).
Though Neo is THE ONE, he has to have someone to push him to develop his talents and his powers, someone willing to die for his cause.
This person is Morpheus.
MORPHEUS means "to bring about change or to bring into existence" and this definition says more than I could ever tell you.
Conclusion
The Matrix Mysteries is a rekindling of The Ancient Mysteries (Mystical Science) and is full of Symbols and Codes that tap into powerful Metaphors from our past.
Look past the Illusion and once you grasp the Matrix Mysteries, this movie will open its arms and welcome you into a new world of Existence.
And maybe, just maybe, if you study long enough, you'll experience the radiating joy of rushing through ideas and concepts, of understanding deeper thought, of transversing the limitations of your past.
And when this happens, you should rejoice.
Because you have found yourself.
You are NOW The Chosen One.
You are NEO....
Bonus Content - What is The Matrix?
We ask and ask, but do we really understand what this means?
At Face Value, The Matrix is a means of Control.
And Control forces us to forget Unified Consciousness and we enter Duality.
Two Sides.
And with The Matrix, those two sides are Opposing Each Other.
One Master.
One Slave.
And this is where we should linger, this is where we must ponder, this is where we must blossom our own thoughts.
Who is the master?
That one question begins our journey and pushes us to to ask others to join in. Since we have Occupy Wall Street, Occupy Atlanta, Occupy Orlando, and Occupy Oakland Gas Attacks, many are tired of overlooking the language, overlooking the line art, overlooking the lame excuses.
Who is the Slave?
We look around and somehow, the faces we see are not what we thought them to be.
They are the same face we see in the mirror.
My neighbor, my teammate, my co-worker, these are the same people locked in the crate with me.
Somehow, we are the Slaves and we're tired of being held back and held down.
We must fight back.
But who are we fighting?
It is this drive within that compels us to walk in darkness, but claim we are in the light.
It is this drive that forces us to close our minds as if the closet were the best place for them, and yet, it is this drive that will set us free.
Within this duality, we will discover truth hides in Entertainment Models like movies, music, and books.
Before we begin soul-searching, we must ask the question again, who is the Slave?
Are we the slaves?
How did we lose ourselves in ourselves and now we are simply LOST?
And by judging by what we're discovering about our Wall Street and others, we are beyond Lost.
It seems we are LOSTE...
Loste in a web of lies, in a web of castes, in a web of classism, in a web of policies hiding the true nature of Slavery.
The Real Enemy of Slavery is not Freedom, it is Unified Consciousness.
Without the talents and gifts of all Colors of the Rainbow, how can we possibly hope to evolve into the next level of our Evolution as Humans?
So take your first step out into THE VOID and look for those small insights of wisdom.
Chew on them.
Gnaw on them.
But never, ever, never, ever, spit them out and put them away.
You will need them to stay focused.
To stay on track.
Because we are in a War.
And not the kind of war you see on TV.
Remember, no one can tell you what The Matrix is.
You must see it for yourself.
