Peace be upon you Tay,
QuoteI was hoping you would respond to this post. I remembered reading your thread a while back and wasn't sure where it was. Thanks for the link to it. I've been meaning to check out Animatrix also. What's it all about, and is it worth renting?
Oh a "set up" huh?
Animatrix is about the same thing the Matrix is about, the knowledge of the workings of man, or "knowledge of self".
The animatrix is basically 9 short stories.
I tell you what, if you get it this weekend and watch it, I will discuss it with you on monday (unless the God wills) and you can tell me what you think of my analysis.
In fact, I think I will refresh myself on all three matrix movies as well, I am sure what I wrote before is not 100% accurate, as my understanding as increased greatly since then.
Just remember this as you watch the Matrix Movies, the THINKING part of your brain is called the NEO-cortex!
All of the characters are part of ONE HUMAN, and NEO is the part of that ONE HUMAN that is concious. What "Neo" must understand is that LOVE is not something that you "fall into", LOVE is a FORCE, in the phyical world it is called GRAVITY. It is that whicg brings together, just like HATE is that which pushes apart. LOVE is something that a person should develop which will cause him to treat his brother(all humans) as himself, but when you are TRICKED into thinking it is something you fall in and out of, you sometimes get focused on "loving" one object (Trinity-multiplicity of things like cars, women, money) to the detrement of the GOAL, which is UNIVERSAL LOVE (Peace).
Watch how when Neo REJECTS the door to the Source, where the ONE is destined to go, and starts flying after "trinity", BLINDED by his emotions. The fire of hell rages behind him, and he destroys so many things in his blind race to save trinity, who will die anyway, as all things but the God pass away.
Aw man, I really can go all day with this movie, be careful what you ask for
