[29] The Solution of Knowledge/Enlightenment. This duality between the matrix and the reality beyond it sets up the ultimate goal of the rebels, which is to free all minds from the matrix and allow humans to live out their lives in the real world beyond. In making this point, the film-makers draw on both Theravada and Mahayana Buddhist ideas. Alluding to the Theravada ideal of the arhat, the film suggests that enlightenment is achieved through individual effort. As his initial guide, Morpheus makes it clear that Neo cannot depend upon him for enlightenment. Morpheus explains, "no one can be told what the matrix is. You have to see it for yourself." Morpheus tells Neo he must make the final shift in perception entirely on his own. He says: "I’m trying to free your mind, Neo. But I can only show you the door. You’re the one that has to walk through it." For Theravada Buddhists, "man’s emancipation depends on his own realization of the Truth, and not on the benevolent grace of a god or any external power as a reward for his obedient good behavior." The Dhammapada urges the one seeking enlightenment to "Free thyself from the past, free thyself from the future, free thyself from the present. Crossing to the farther shore of existence, with mind released everywhere, no more shalt thou come to birth and decay."As Morpheus says to Neo, "There’s a difference between knowing the path and walking the path." And as the Buddha taught his followers, "You yourselves should make the effort; the Awakened Ones are only teachers." As one already on the path to enlightenment, Morpheus is only a guide; ultimately Neo must recognize the truth for himself.

seems the players in the movie that caused change to the expected, had love ... LOVE. the oracle loved candy, the Frenchman (Merovingian) has escalated his love from his wife Persophenes (bellucci (yum))to the french passion for food wine and the orgasmic effect of chocolate on blonds (:^p) all these debauchery or attatchments skew the predicable... LOVE ... what is it? ... ahhh

Talk!
The next time you watch a war movie where a monocle-wearing Nazi says "Ve haff vays of making you talk," realize that his tactics are now endorsed by the U.S. government, which is in court defending the use of evidence gained by torture. Although statements obtained by torture have been inadmissible in American courts for 70 years, the government and the military are arguing that information obtained from foreign enemy combatants subjected to the so-called third degree should be allowed. Military panels reviewing the detention of 550 prisoners at Guantanamo, Cuba, have been accepting evidence gotten by torture to justify holding the men without due process.

does this make your blood boil? It does mine, imagine if Bush's kids were in a camp, caught and held as combatants... how fast this rule would change? The whole comandment 'do unto others' idea misses these right wing conservative goats? when did people in power stop reading Machiavelli (the prince) and Zen and the Art of War and classic texts on ethics?

Blimey... I see a need to draw a cartoon of bush in college sitting at a desk, in an ethics class, the next frame we see he is looking at girl nudes in playboy like magazine instead of listening to class or doing the work....

where is the deal of world government global issues need for a federated
