Quadrinity? Oracle, Neo, God, and Love? (Matrix Part 5)
You thought we had finished, didn't you? Just when you'd figured you could face the world of movies within this half of the decade, I'm bringin' ya back! Why? Because my husband has a really good point. Oh ya, he doesn't pay a lot of attention to what I'm up to here, but he figured I needed a little direction on Reality as far as the Matrix goes. And his point was unshakable.
So, if Neo is God as man, the Oracle the Holy Spirit, and the Creator/Programmer dude the God as Balancer the way I interpretted it, then what is the thing Neo merged with at the end? I admit to having been distracted in the last movie... I even wonder if I watched the whole thing, 'cause there are gaps in my memory, hmm.
I propose a Quadrinity. It's my world... I can do what I want here! I suppose the truth about God is that we could never really describe all aspects, no matter how many inities we came up with. But Eric has a point. Neo merged into the Oneness at the end, became the All, saved or transformed the planet to his intention. What was that huge, wacky, firey, glowing machine anyway? I'm goin' with Love as my fourth segment of God. How does that work for you?
Actually, it works pretty well with the movie overall. I can't say that I've ever read a thing about it, so those of you who are experts, or who have seen analysis' elsewhere will have to tell me where I failed to meet the status quo. But the love thing is workable. It was the undercurrent that drove all of the movies. It was the reaons for Neo, for Trinity, for the other couple who were separated between underground and a ship, etc... it was the reason for their actions, a reason they used their free will to make the choices they made. They acted out of love.
What better way to round out the series?! If we look at God as only a balancer, that does leave us in bleak territory. And although our free will might let us move our particular existences toward a world that we personally unfold (at least in interpretation), if God swings a hammer of Karmic balance alone, what fun is that? For every excitement we trade a boredom, for every pleasure a pain, for every love a loss?
What if love topples this? What if the part of God that is Bliss is something we can achieve with our own consciousness, throwing the world into transformation, much as Neo did? What if every move we make does alter the prototype, and with enough focus and conscious action, we could overthrow the balancing act and achieve a world of bliss alone? Shall we try?

Isn’t that what we are doing? Where have you been?
Sounds like your husband is a teacher as well. My ex husband would have never thought about that movie so deeply.
The Matrix has really been a pretty good movie to do all this anazlying about. I am wondering if anyone else has had a movie that really made them look at things differently or that connected things for them?
I can’t think of a movie at the moment but Stephen Kings Gunslinger series did that for me. I have heard that Wall E has a lot of stuff in it you can learn from. Anyone?
Omg… you don’t want to go here with me!!! I’m very all encompassing!
How about tv? Did you do the Northern Exposure series. INCREDIBLE… multi religion, multi spiritual, all Oneness, philosophical, and FUNNY!!! Yep, all the way. The Christmas one, wow, I cry every time. The Holling character realizes his girlfriend is missing Catholic Mass, but the town is based in the Native American Raven stuff, and so he sings the Ave Maria for her in the little church as a surprise, and I’m crying typing this!!! Beautiful. So well done. I should blog on that series for a while. The Chris character is a real keeper!
we DO need to realize that even trinity was JUSTa human consept,a theory, as to somthing which basically can’t be proven, just as there is no finiteness even in words (or a paly on words) to what “GOD” is, or the higher power, or whatever we care to define as….well…the way we try & rationalize in some way/form or another..what IS. When..basically, whatEVER it is, it is JUST THAT: it IS what it IS.
I know, I know….why state the obvious? We STILL enjoy theorizing, conceptualizing, holding dialogue for the point of personal interests. Yes, we do. And with this group here, I am totally sold on being a part of this.
ok….what in the hekll was….where WAS i going in all of this??? DAMN ADHD again….
oh well.
i’d like to buy a vowle now, vanna…..’later
ladies!!!
I just think we should up it two… ‘cause isn’t sex the prefix for six… like sextuplets… so couldn’t we go to sextinity/sexinity? Then God would get really exciting to talk about : )
woman….where is YOUR mind drfting off to as of late????
must be somethin’ in the gaia waters…..
M?
Ya… I’m ok… I’ll stay out of the holy water and stay grounded for a while : ) Maybe. Then again, maybe not. I think it’s a Tetra Lemma (a fish with a real issue, according to Nyasha)!
who you callin’ a fish, chick? i’m duck..nothing less, nothing more.
unless…of course..that wasn’t meant for me….
(was THAT guilt springing forth from deep inside????? hmmmm…..)
I was calling myself a fish this time, duck boy! And that was nearing an apology at the end, and I thought ya gave those up “for Lent”. Or was that I forced you to give them up?! : )
People are in a quandry about my mind being in the sexual realm, so perhaps that’s a blog that needs to happen… but then, I’ve been here, done that, I think (not the sex part per se, but the blog part, not that I’m denying the former or the latter or whatever, ‘cause I’m just getting into “deeper” trouble as I type).
‘ain’t gonna give in to the apologies for my latest blog mesterpiece….
i’m learnin’, woman!!!
ok….THIS SUX. i thought perhaps it was just my bad typing skills that had one time goofed, but the last day or two, i will type out many a word, sentences even, then go to post, and……only some of it will appear, the rest lost in…..space(?). And just now….it automatically spaced my two lines. what gives here. Is it the gaia-borg retalliating for slammin’ them on my latest attach of the richDUCK blog?
inquiring minds…do ya’ REALLY wanna know? it’s a gaia-borg conspiracy….YEAH!! that’s the ticket. I’ll go with THAT.
so…
that’s my story
and i’m stickin’ to it!!!
Better beware… they’ll be squashin’ your behiney into a pod and sucking your energy for the matrix before ya know it. Hmmm, in some ways, merging with God is that. Now there’s something to ponder!
well THAT outta’ conjur up some purty disturbin’ dreams t’come, purty lady….
