transmission 038 - what it means to be trinity (CAREER WEEK)
The 38th transmission from Starship Commander Miquiel Banks.
Quote
I believe Morpheus means more to me than he does to you. I believe if you’re really serious in saving him, then you’re going to need my help.
Trinity
Introduction
Can the new people, those in the back, please direct yourselves to the Dark Brown Cabinet to your left?
Grad Students, take these forms to that group of people flocked over in that corner?
Does everyone have a form?
Good, now let's turn our attention to today's guest speaker.
She's going to answer today's question - what does it mean to be the Sacred Feminine?
The Patriarchal hold from the Recent Past puts a major dent in the concept of the Sacred Feminine.
However, you've heard this term in different places:
The Holy Grail
Mother Earth
Mother Nature
The Holy Spirit
Sophia
Did that help, probably not.
You still want to know, what is the Sacred Feminine.
First, she's the ancient voice who sings the song of creation.
Then, she brings the divine spark into being, from the infinite realms of non-being into the multiplicity of being.
As a Sacred Concept, this character's scent perfumes the movie, allowing that Feminine Energy to ooze its truth into our Souls.
As a Mythical Character, she captures these roles:
Bonding Character
Romantic Interest
Subplot Lead/Character
The Character of Trinity
As a Creator, we have to ponder the thought process of the Writer.
In our Matrix Story, we need someone to fulfill the following:
Bonding Character
Love Interest
Since the story is about The Matrix, our Female Lead should be highly adept with computers and a fierce warrior.
As a power character, we must look deeper and give her an interesting angle, not just a Character Flaw and/or Ghost.
We've already used the interesting angle of letting Morpheus find the one, so a deeper angle would be to allow Trinity to save Neo.
How can she save Neo?
Hmm, let's ponder this more.
How about letting the Oracle tell her the man would fall in love with would be The One?
That way, we make her character more complex because her innate fear will cause her to question her fate.
We must REMEMBER. . .
Even though Neo is the Savior, he must first be RESURRECTED.
And it is only through Trinity's sacred and divine kiss that he is REBORN.
Trinity’s Story Model
Now that we have her name, her purpose, and her journey, let's put Trinity into the Story Model (The Second Coming of Christ).
Since Morpheus is the Mentor and Neo is the Savior, we'll make Trinity the Divine Breath and Consort of the Savior.
As his Consort, she matches most of his qualities and as a Warrior, she's much more advanced than he is.
Another way to flesh her out is to give her scenes where her love SHOWS her power rather than talking about it.
For instance, she and the crew are TERRIFIED of the Agents, but when Neo is in trouble, she puts a gun to the Agent's head and turns up on him, Dodge This!
What a powerful scene!
It shows Trinity's love is more powrful than her fear, which foreshadows her final decision when she finally tells Neo her feelings for him.
Trinity as Archetype
Now that we know who Trinity is, we can put her into the Story as several archetypes:
Heroine
Ally
Threshold Guardian
As the lead Female Heroine, the first scene where she takes out the cops captures the imagination of the Viewer.
Next, she shows herself as part of the crew, second in command after Morpheus.
Finally, she reveals to Neo that she is second in command and tightens up Neo, the Savior.
She turns up in vintage fashion of a Woman that's pissed off.
No? Let me tell you what I believe. I believe that Morpheus means more to me than he does to you. I believe if you are really serious about rescuing him, you are going to need my help. And since I am the ranking officer on this ship, if you don't like it . . . I believe you can go to hell. Because you're not going anywhere else. Tank. load us up.
Such power and eloquence in this speech!
She shows Neo that because he's the Savior - there's no I in Team!
What a wonderful way for the Sacred Feminine show the Sacred Masculine that we win as a Team and none of this Lone Ranger BS!
Who’s the Real Savior?
Even though Neo is the Savior, the movie shows us that the "Consort" is a special power, a deep and resonating energy that maintains balance.
As we browse the Plot Points in the Matrix, several ideas jump out at us:
Without Trinity, Neo would NOT have become so obsessed with the question, What is the Matrix?
Without Trinity, Neo would NOT save Morpheus
Without Trinity, Neo would NOT have been resurrected
And so now, I leave you with a final question.
Who's the real Savior in this Movie?
Is it Morpheus because he finds the one, trains him, and this event saves Humanity?
Is it Trinity because without her, Neo would not have been resurrected and cracked the code?
Ladies and Gentlemen, those are the job requirements for being The Sacred Feminine.
Conclusion of the Lecture
Wow, now that I've explained it, everyone has a question.
I'm so sorry about this Trinity, they didn't ask this many questions earlier this week.
