NOTE: WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU READ/LISTEN TO THIS COMMENTARY FOR PART 2, THEN WATCH THE ACTUAL MOVIE, MATRIX RELOADED
Think of a movie as though it were a parable.
A parable is a story which parallels real life issues. But it is told in such a manner that the average person will not understand the meaning of the story as it relates to real life. The story or parable itself discusses facts and answers the WHO, WHAT, WHERE and WHEN questions. The true meaning of the parable is in the answer to the WHY question that most people do not ask or answer.
This Article is addressed to the WHY people. If you are one of the WHAT people, take the blue pill and go back into your position in the Matrix.
Are you still in the Matrix or are you one of the people of Zion? If you answered that question by determining that you are out of the Matrix and you are one of the people of Zion, then you still might have a serious problem in understanding what your relationship is to the controllers of the Matrix. You are not as independent as you might think. This is the true value of the message being given in the movie The Matrix 2.
The Movie, The Matrix 2, introduces us to a much higher concept of liberty and responsibility, and especially the concept of being at war or at peace with the system. It answers the question of "Do you have a choice when you are out of the Matrix?" The answer is yes! But you might be surprised that the ability to have choice does not give you freedom and independence from the controllers of the Matrix.
In the Movie The Matrix 2, we are introduced to the people who live in a city called Zion. The first movie did not describe Zion at all. It only dealt with several people from Zion that were aboard the vessel the Nebuchadnezzar. Zion is a city deep in the core of the earth away from the Matrix. It is inhabited by people who have been physically removed from the Matrix. The Matrix warehouses the remaining 99% of the humans in a condition similar to a coma in which the humans are fed nutrients and the illusion of a normal life by machines run by computers. The Matrix harvests the bodily heat and chemical energy from the human bodies to power the machine world. When a physical body dies in the Matrix, it is removed from the Matrix by the machines and ground up and fed to the remaining inhabitants as a food source.
The underground city of Zion appears to be a mirror of the Matrix. Whereas in the Matrix, the machines appear to control the humans therein living off of their energy, in the City of Zion, the people control the machines which serve them and keep them alive. The Matrix appears to be on the surface of the earth where humans ordinarily live and survive. The City of Zion is deep in the earth as though it were a burial ground for the dead. The people on the surface living in the Matrix are, for all intents and purposes, dead (or living in a dream or a coma), but mentally have perceived themselves to be very much alive by their mental stimulation through the Matrix's computers. The people in Zion are buried deep in the earth (where ordinarily the corpses are buried, but they are mentally awake and very much physically at liberty from the physical and mental constraints of the Matrix's computers and warehouses).
There are several interesting issues that are raised with the Movie The Matrix 2 . The first movie was mostly about Neo, personally. It was about waking him up from his naivety and the placing of him into a position in which he could be aware of, and deal with, larger issues than his own condition and future.
Since the Movie is only a parable to teach us, the first movie also was about waking us up to the reality of the world. Now, in the second movie, we are ready for larger issues. This is what we are getting.
There are three major conversations in the Movie The Matrix Two which serve to introduce us to the more important aspects of our relationship as people who have come out of the Matrix to the issue of the Matrix still being there as a "neighbor." What should be our relationship? Should we fight the Matrix? Should we destroy the Matrix? Should we be at peace with it?
In the first movie, Neo was extracted from the Matrix. Who accomplished this extraction? Was it Neo himself? Was it Morpheus? Was it Trinity? No ! Neo was offered a blue pill or a red pill. The blue pill represents admiralty. If Neo took the blue pill, he would be put back into a condition of delusion to conform to the public policies and would have no interest in learning any of the private conditions of reality. If Neo took the red pill, it would be "the blood of the Messiah" and Neo would be aware of the private things in the world (as opposed to this world) and would become a servant to help others learn the truth.
The red pill, Neo was told by the members of Zion, was a locator program. The purpose of Neo swallowing the red pill was to be a transponder or beacon so that his physical body could be located in the store house of the Matrix. It was a machine in the Matrix that was responsible for extracting Neo from the Matrix. It wasn't Neo, Morpheus, Trinity, or any other human who got Neo out of the Matrix. Since it was a machine who extracted him, why would the Matrix extract him if it wasn't a policy of the Matrix to let anyone out that wanted to be let out? The answer is simple. The Matrix only survives because adhesion to the Matrix is voluntary. Is it not possible to unvolunteer from the "Matrix" of this world by expatriating the physical membership? Will the governments of this world (the Matrix) not let one expatriate voluntarily if one does so in a proper manner? The answer is yes. Likewise, the red pill can be viewed as a form of expatriation request.
It appears that Neo's separation from the Matrix in a physical fashion in the first movie was not a guarantee of the fact that Neo's future would not be influenced in some manner by the Matrix. And, in fact, in the Movie The Matrix 2, there is a significant interplay between the Matrix and Neo's lives and also with those of his friends in Zion. The second movie deals with the issues of the interaction between Zion and the Matrix.
Neo has a discussion with the Oracle that enlightens us as to the reason why the people of Zion and the Matrix are linked together. The following conversation takes place between Neo and the Oracle. Interspersed in this conversation, I will add some comments in parenthesis.
O: Well. Come on. I'm not going to bite you. Come around here and let me have a look at you. My goodness. Look at you. You turned out all right, didn't you? How do you feel? You are not sleeping. We will get to that. Why don't you come and have a sit. [An invitation to sit is a form of a commercial process called a draft. The Oracle was the drawer of the draft. As such, the drawer is the debtor. The drawee, in this case Neo, is the creditor. If the drawee does not fulfill the draft request, a dishonor occurs and the drawee becomes the debtor. You do not want to be the debtor by dishonoring the draft.]
N: Maybe I will stand. [A dishonor]
0 : Suit yourself. [Acceptance o f Neo's dishonor without going to war.] [Neo sits down voluntarily.]
N: I felt like sitting. [Now Neo is in honor, so the conversation continues.]
0: I know. So, let's get the obvious stuff out of the way.
N: You're not human. Are you?
0 : It's tough to get any more obvious than that.
N: If I had to guess, I would say you are a program from the machine world. So is he. [Referring to the Oracle's body guard.]
0 : So far s o good.
N: But if that is true, it can mean that you are a part of the system. Another kind of control.
0 : Keep going.
N: I suppose the most obvious question is: How can I trust you?
0 : Bingo! It is a riddle. No doubt about it. The bad news is there is no way that you can really know if I am here to help you or not. So it is really up to you ! Just have to make up your own damn mind to either accept what I am going to tell you or reject it. [Isn't this the real issue with the people of Zion today in their relationship to the Matrix. The issue is: How can we trust the judge or the law enforcement officer, or the lawyer, or the prosecutor, etc., if they are in the public system?] [The Oracle reaches into her purse to get some candy.] Candy?
N: Do you already know if I am going to take it?
0 : I wouldn't be much of a n Oracle i f I didn't.
N: But if you already know, how can I make the choice?
0 : Because you didn't come here to make the choice. You already made it. You're here to try to understand why you made the choice. I thought you would have figured that out by now. [Notice how the issue is going from "what" questions to "why" questions!]
N: Why are you here?
0 : Same reason. I love candy! [Joke]
N: Why help us?
0 : We're all here to do what we are all here to do. I'm interested in one thing Neo. The future. And believe me, I know the only way to get there is together. [There is a parable in the New Testament. It talks about a field (which is this world) where an enemy came one night and sowed weeds in the wheat filed. The wheat is the Zion people and the weeds are the people of the Matrix. The servants asked the master whether the servants should pull out the weeds when they started growing. The master told the servants to allow the weeds and the wheat to grow together because the wheat would be destroyed by the pulling up of the weeds. This is what Neo is being told here. The people of the Matrix and the people of Zion must exist side by side for a period of time, lest the warfare between both cause both parties annihilation.]
N: Are there other programs like you?
0: Well, not like me, but look - see those birds? At some point a program was written to govern them. A program was written to watch over the trees, the wind, sunrise, and sunset. There are programs running all over the place. Ones doing their job. Doing what they were meant to do. They are invisible. You'd never even know they were here. But the other ones, well. You hear about them all the time.
N: I've never heard of them.
0: Of course you have. Every time you heard someone say: "I've seen a ghost or an angel." Every story you have ever heard about vampires, werewolves, or aliens is the system assimilating some program that is doing something that they are not supposed to be doing.
N: Programs hacking programs. Why? [Again a "why" question.]
0: They have their reasons, but usually a program chooses exile when it faces deletion.
N: Why would a program be deleted?
0: Maybe it breaks down. Maybe a better program is created to replace it. I t happens all the time. And when it does, a program can either choose to hide here or return to the source.
N: The machine mainframe!
0: Yes. Where the path of the One ends. You have seen it in your dreams, haven't you? The door made of light. What happens when you go through the door?
N: I see Trinity and something happens. Something bad. She starts to fall. And then I wake up.
0: Do you see her die?
N: No.
0: You have the sight now. You are looking at the world without time. [Time is a commercial entity. When there is no commerce involved, time is irrelevant. In the Tom Hanks movie Cast Away, when Tom Hanks was on the Island, time was irrelevant. There were no commercial contracts or terms to implement in which time was a factor. Time in the Garden of Eden was also irrelevant.]
N: Then why can't I see what happens?
0: We cannot see past the choices we do not understand. [Because w e have not yet thought it into existence.]
N: Are you saying that I have to choose whether Trinity lives or dies?
0: No. You have already made the choice. Now you have to understand it.
N: No. I can't do that. I won't! [This is a war or a dishonor which leads to losing control over the situation.]
0: You will have to.
N: Why?
0: Because you are the One. [You are the creditor and must face it.]
N: What if I can't? What happens if I fail?
0: Then Zion will fall. Our time is up. Listen to me, Neo. You can save Zion i f you reach the source, but to do that you will need the Key Maker.
N: The Key Maker?
0 : Yes. He disappeared some time ago. W e do not know what happened t o him. Now he is being held prisoner by a very dangerous program. One of the oldest of us. He is called the MEROVINGIAN. He will not let him go willingly [The character called the Merovingian is an important character in history. He is the original sovereign line of kings of Northwest Europe from about 500 to 850 AD. This line of kings saved the Pope in Italy, thus becoming his master before the Pope made or broke other would-be kings, and the Merovingian successors today are part of those who believe they are the keepers of the Holy Grail, and the secret leaders of the world society. Do a search on this name on the Internet.]
N: What does he want?
0 : What do all men with power want? More power. Be there at that exact time and you will have a chance.
N: I must go.
0 : Seems like every time we meet, I have nothing but bad news. I'm sorry about that. I surely am. But for what it is worth, you have made a believer out of me. Good luck Kiddo.
This conversation was incredible. It is the first of three conversations that link the fact that the people of Zion, or those who would free themselves from the boundaries of the physical matrix, are not at liberty to: 1) Make war against the Matrix and its leaders or people, or 2) Operate independently from the leaders and people of the Matrix. In today's world, this is equivalent to saying: 1) Do not fight the world government system to destroy it. 2) Do not make war against the courts, the judges, the prosecutors, the law enforcement, and the United Nations or the Federal Reserve. That system (the Matrix) is linked to you and your survival.
The second conversation was even more interesting. It involved a discussion between Neo, Morpheus, Trinity and the man called Merovingian. In the movie plot, in the attempt by Morpheus, Trinity, and Neo to "bring down the Matrix" by destroying the mainframe computer terminal, the location of that mainframe and the ability to get to it was why it was important to learn the location of the Key Maker. He had the information they sought.
MORPHEUS: We are here to speak to Merovingian.
MAITRES DE: Of Course, he has been expecting you. Follow me.
MER: Ahah! Here he is at last. Neo! It is the One himself. And the legendary Morpheus, and Trinity of course. I have heard so much, you honor me. Please. This is my wife, Persephone. Something to eat? Drink? Have you seen so many contrivances as we have here? Please, for the sake of appearances.
N: No, thank you.
MER: Yes, of course.
N: We don't have time.
MER: Yes, of course. Who has time? But then if we do not ever take time, how can we have time? [Time is a commercial function of the Matrix. If you take time, you are the creditor. If you do not take time, you have dishonored it and you are its debtor] Magnificent French Wine. I love French wine. Of all the languages, French is my favorite language. Especially to curse..... It is like wiping your ass with silk. I love it. You know why we are here? I am a trafficker in information. I know everything I can. The question is, do you know why you are here?
MOR:We are looking for the Key Maker.
MER: Oh, yes. This is true. The Key Maker, of course. But this is not a reason. This is not a why. The Key Maker himself is an answer by his very nature to a means and not an end, and so to be looking for him is to be looking for a means to do? What?
N: You know the answer to that question.
MER: But do you? You think you do, but you do not. You are here because you were sent here. You were told to come here, and then you obeyed. It is, of course, the way of all things. You see there is only one constant. One universal. It is the only reality . . . . Causality. Action-reaction. Cause and effect.
MOR:Everything begins with choice.
MER: No. Wrong. Choice is an illusion created between those with power and those without. Look there. Look at that woman. [Referring to a woman at another table in the restaurant] My God, just look at her. Affecting everyone around her. So obvious, so bourgeois, so quiet. But you see, I have sent her a dessert. A very special dessert. I wrote it [the program for the dessert - since we are in the digital matrix] myself. It starts so simply. [The woman takes a bite out of the dessert, reflecting on its flavor.] Each line of the program paints a new fate. Just like poetry. Fast. A rush. Heat. A heart flutters. You can see it now, yes? She does not understand why. Is it the wine? No. What is it? What is the reason? Soon it does not matter. Soon the wine and the reason are gone. And all that matters is the feeling itself. This is the nature of the universe. [The desert program contained a substance that would, over time, cause her to leave the table and go to the women's room with a physical uneasiness to resolve.] We struggle against it. We fight to keep from dying. Of course we pretend to be alive. Beneath a poised appearance, the truth is really our complete case out of control.
Causality. There is no escape from it. We are forever slaves to it. Our only hope, our only peace is to understand it. [That is the "why."] To understand the why. Why is what separates us from them. You from me. Why is the only real source of power. Without it you are powerless. And this is how you come to me. Without the WHY, without [any] power. Another link in the chain. But fear not. Since I have seen how good you are at following orders. I will tell you what to do next. Run back and give the Fortune Teller this message. Her time is over.
Now, I have some real business to attend to. [The Merovingian desires to follow the pretty lady to the women's rest room.] Adieu and good bye.
N: This isn't over. [Nonacceptance of a draft order = dishonor.]
MER: Oh, yes it is. The Key Maker is mine and I see no reason why I should give him up. No reason at all. [There was no cross-commercial consideration to the Merovingian from Neo to make a commercial agreement attractive to the Merovingian.]
PER: Where are you going?
MER: Please, my wife, I have told you. We are all victims of causality. I drink too much wine. I must take a piss. Cause and effect. [Merovingian leaves. His body guards move to escort Trinity out.]
TRI: Touch me and that hand will never touch anything again. [Trinity, Morpheus, Neo leave. They get on an elevator to go to the bottom floor of the building.]
N: Well, that didn't go so well.
MOR: Are you sure the Oracle didn't say anything else?
N: Yes.
TRI: Are you sure we didn't do something wrong?
N: Or didn't do something.
MOR: No. What happened- happened and couldn't have happened in any other way.
N: How do you know?
MOR: We are still alive. [Morpheus understands honor and acceptance.] [The Elevator door opens on another floor as the trio is going down to reveal Persephone. She intercedes and promises to deliver what they want.]
Twice now, Neo has been told by entities in the Matrix that the answer to the question WHY is the only important issue that he needs to deal with. The Oracle told him that the WHAT has already been decided in his life. The Oracle told him if he does not understand the why, he will not be able to "see" beyond the WHAT issue that he does not know the WHY about. Now Merovingian also tells them that without knowing WHY events occur, there is no hope to be in CONTROL. But being in CONTROL means that commercially you are a creditor. So not knowing WHY makes one a debtor in commercial affairs. As a debtor, one cannot be in control and cannot "win" (if that is what one is hoping to achieve in terms of a commercial or military (democracy) victory).
Neo, Morpheus, and Trinity wrongly thought that the issue was "choice." Doesn't Babylon tell us that we should be fighting for "women's choice" or rights? The Merovingian rightly told Neo that CHOICE is an act of a debtor in reacting to the possible consequences of being the debtor. It is an illusion. A person with a mortgage on his house has a choice. He can either pay his monthly mortgage payment to the bank or he can choose not to pay the monthly mortgage payment. He will also be subject to the duties or obligations that that choice he makes saddles him with. The issue is never in achieving the ability to make a CHOICE in life. The issue is being in CONTROL of one's options as a creditor of the commercial agreements so that one's duties are established by one's own desire to voluntarily serve your fellow man instead of being a slave to your fellow man.
Neo finally gets the information from the Key Maker so that he can reach the main frame computer to shut it down and save this world. When he arrives at the room outside the main frame shut off switch, he meets another character in the Matrix called the Architect. The third quotation from the second Movie follows between the Architect and Neo. It is the most revealing of all the discussions.
A: Hello, Neo.
N: Who are you?
A: I am the Architect. I created the Matrix. I've been waiting for you. You have many questions. And though the process has altered your consciousness, you remain irrevocably human. Ergo- some of my answers you will understand and some you will not. Accordingly, while your first question may be the most pertinent, it is also the most irrelevant.
N: Why am I here? [Notice how Neo has learned to ask the important WHY questions now.]
A: Your life is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent in the programming of the Matrix.
You are the eventuality of an anomaly, which in spite of my sincerest efforts, I have been unable to eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision. While it remains a burden assiduously avoided, it is not unexpected, and thus not beyond a measure of control, which has led you inexorably here.
[The Matrix, like any military de facto government predicated on some continuous warfare, needs to have a protagonist and an antagonist to survive. i.e., - there needs to be enemies in the Matrix system. And Neo was one of the "enemies" set up in the system, along with the other inhabitants of Zion, to structure the system to make it possible to have continuous warfare so the system works in its de facto capacity. His rebellion is a programming "anomaly." In other words, it does not appear to be the norm established for the bulk of the system. But his rebellion is not outside the ultimate control of the Matrix master programming. Why this is necessary to the de facto structure of the current Matrix design, it seems to escape the master designer as to why a de jure system would not suffice. Notice, also, that the Architect uses sophisticated Greek style rhetoric to attempt to confuse Neo and intimidate him so that the Architect will not have to answer Neo's question.]
N: You have not answered my question!
A: Quite right. Interesting. That was quicker than the others.
N: Others? How many?
A: The Matrix is older than you know. I prefer counting from the emergence of one integral anomaly [one rebellion in history] to the emergence of the next, in which case this is the sixth version.
N: Two possible explanations. Why has no one told me? Or no one knows?
A: Precisely. As you are undoubtedly gathering, the anomaly is systemic. Creating fluctuations in even the most simplistic equations. [The Architect is telling Neo that the fact that there is a Matrix world with people locked into permanent slavery and warehoused in the Matrix and a world with people of Zion in a sense of freedom living below the land is planned or "systemic." They exist together in a form of an uneasy harmony.]
N: Choice. The problem is choice. [Again Neo has not learned that CHOICE does not hold the answer. You are either a creditor by CAUSEIEFFECT or else you are a debtor. ]
A: The first Matrix I designed was quite naturally perfect. [Garden of Eden?] It was a work of art. Flawless. Sublime. In triumph equaled only by its monumental failure. The inevitability of its doom is apparent to me now as a consequence of its imperfection inherent in every human being. [The desire to be in control of one's life for gain or commerce instead of for service. This creates an ongoing warfare that brings the fall of government from a republic to a democracy - a military controlled warfare.] And so I redesigned it based on your history, to more accurately reflect the vary and grotesqueries of your nature. However, I was again frustrated by failure. I have since come to understand that the answer eluded me because it required a lesser mind, or perhaps a mindless bound by the parameters of perfection. [A mind that does not assume good in men, but rather assumes evil in men. A mind that does not look for peace, but one that looks for continual warfare.]
Then the answer was stumbled upon by another, an intuitive program, initially created to investigate certain aspects of the human psyche. If I am the father of the Matrix, she would undoubtedly be its mother.
N: The Oracle!
A: Please. As I was saying, she stumbled upon a solution whereby nearly ninety-nine per cent of all subjects accepted the program [CONTROL] as long as they were given a choice. Even if they were only aware of the choice at an unconscious level. [i.e.- an opportunity to presume they could elect or vote or choose in an action.]
While this answer functioned, it was obviously fundamentally flawed [what about the 1 % of the subjects who did not receive the programming], thus creating the otherwise contradictory systemic anomaly, that if left unchecked might threaten the system itself. Ergo- Those that refused the program [apparent CONTROL], while a minority, if unchecked, would constitute an escalating probability of disaster [a rebellion that would destroy the ultimate control of the Matrix by the machines.].
N: This is about Zion!
A: You are here because Zion is about to be destroyed. [Zion is the people who have come out of the Matrix, but they have not left commerce. They still are not about service. They just want to be in control of their own lives for personal gain and profit. They call this control- CHOICE. But CHOICE is not control because they have not gotten back to the natural law that says that if one chooses to fight his brother, he cannot live in freedom and liberty.] It's [Zion's] every living inhabitant terminated, its entire existence eradicated.
N: Bull shit! [Non-acceptance of the information presented to Neo by draft from the Architect. This is another dishonor.]
A: Denial is the most predictable of all human responses. But rest assured, this will be the sixth time we have destroyed it. And we have become exceedingly efficient at it. [Note: In the book of Daniel, there is a discussion about a dream that Nebuchadnezzar is having involving a Beast. The Beast represents empires established on earth. In one of the dreams, there were six worldly empires represented. Some that were, some that are, and some that will be. Since these empires are time dependent, they are commercial empires. The six empires represent: Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, the Medes and Persians, Greece, and Rome. Each new empire was established and overthrown in history in order to perfect commerce. Each succeeding empire became more efficient in its quest for commercial profits, earnings, taxation, and control. Slaves overthrew masters, not to serve their brothers, but to themselves become the new masters. It was all about getting more of the "choices" for themselves. Never about serving their brothers.]
A: The function of the One is now to return to the Source allowing a temporary dissemination of the code you carry, reinserting the prime program. [i.e.., we will restart the Matrix with a new history and use your DNA to perfect a more perfect, or a more intelligent and masterful, gene pool for the slaves. After all, better slaves create better profits. It is all about competition when you are in commerce.] After which, you will be required to select from the Matrix 23 individuals, 16 females and seven males, to rebuild Zion. [Note: 23 is the number of death. So the new Zion will be built again upon the premise of dead people and not living people. Seven is masculine perfection. 15 is rest. The new people will restart a new Zion - or a new nemesis for the new Matrix. See the programmers of the Matrix need to restart an "enemy" for their system to work to maintain continuous warfare.]
Failure to comply with the process will result in a cataclysmic system crash killing everyone connected to the Matrix, which coupled with the extermination of Zion, will ultimately result in the extinction of the entire human race.
N : You won't let it happen! You can't. You need human beings to survive. [Again, Neo is fighting the system as though there is a choice that will save the day. This dishonor only shows that Neo still does not understand the WHY.]
A : There are levels o f survival we are prepared to accept. However, the relevant issue is whether or not you are ready to accept responsibility for the death of every human being in this world. [Note how Neo is the creditor with the capacity to maintain or destroy the whole world. This power does not rest in the hands of those who control the Matrix. They are honorable.]
'Tis interesting in reading your reactions. [Seeing the expression on Neo's face.] Your five predecessors were, by design, based on a similar predication a contingent affirmation that was meant to create a profound attachment to the rest of your species, facilitating the function of the One. While the others experienced this in a very general way, your experience is far more specific. Vis-a-vis, love.
[Love is an emotion that, when properly invoked, results in serving mankind and not in commercial actions that are warlike and killing your brother such as Cain's actions in Genesis 4. So the Architect is noting that Neo's "rebellion" or "protest" is significantly oriented on a different plane than the rebellion or protest of the previous six empires. This is an omen of things to come in possibly resolving the "war" in the third Matrix movie.]
N : Trinity?
A : Apropos. She entered the Matrix to save your life at the cost o f her own. [Neo had gotten Trinity to promise not to enter the Matrix. It was too dangerous for her according to a dream where Neo had prophesied the possible death of Trinity, if she entered the Matrix. Trinity chose to enter the Matrix when she had knowledge that Neo's and Morpheus' lives were in danger.]
N : No!
A : Which brings me at last to the moment o f truth where the fundamental flaw is ultimately expressed, and the anomaly revealed as both beginning and end. [The 1 % who appear not to be in control by the Matrix are really in control of the Matrix and carry out the process of killing the old system to restart the new system. As the WHO sang: "Out with the old boss. In with the new. Same as the old boss." The Zion people are given only CHOICE. And this CHOICE does not give them the capacity to do anything which would ultimately destroy the Matrix.]
There are two doors. The door to your right [private world] leads to the source and the salvation of Zion [where the Matrix main frame computer can be shut down]. The door to your left [public world] leads back to the Matrix, to her [Trinity], and to the end of your specie [where Zion will be defeated by the machines]. As you adequately put it, the problem is choice.
But we already know what you are going to do, don't we?
Already I can see the chain of reaction, the chemical precursors that signal the onset of an emotion designed specifically to overwhelm logic and reason. An emotion that is already blinding you from the simple and obvious truth. She is going to die. [But the Architect has already admitted he is fallible. He has been wrong in the past.] And there is nothing you can do to stop it. Hope? It is the quintessential human delusion: simultaneously the source of your greatest strength and your greatest weakness.
N: If I live, you should hope that we will not meet again.
A: We won't. [Neo leaves by the left door back into the Matrix to attempt to save Trinity from her certain death.]
Neo has no other choice but to go back into the Matrix through the left door, or the door that represents the "public" interest. A remedy in the private world, without a corresponding remedy to witness it in the public world, is not a closed remedy at all. Neo was forced to leave by the public door to resolve that problem by private capacity. If Neo would have first shut down the computer by going into the private right door, he would have lost Trinity, his love, forever. It takes a double witness to resolve all "charges" or claims. Merely resolving the charge or claim on the private side without a public witness is not a victory. It takes 2 or more witnesses to prove a thing. One witness is on the public side. One witness is on the private side. Patriots that try to resolve an issue by private administrative procedure, without getting a public witness to the same thing, have not closed the accounts.
Since everything is backwards in the public world, Hollywood is the true church today telling us the truth [backwards]. Their movies are the "sermons" being taught for all to hear and see, if they have awoken up from the Matrix. The Matrix 2 is telling us that we need to learn the WHY, and we must not destroy the Matrix until its time. The "programs" [officials in this world government] are there to tell us the truth and help us in our freedom and survival. If we go to war against them, we just might not survive. Isn't the One World Government today tracking "terrorists?" Aren't terrorists another name for those who fight the leaders of the Matrix?
