"I
have
much
more
to say
to
you,
more
than
you
can
now
bear.
But
when
he,
the Spirit
of
Truth,
comes,
he
will
guide
you
into
all
truth.
He
will
not
speak
on his
own;
he
will
speak
only
what
he
hears,
and he
will
tell
you
what
is yet
to
come.
He
will
bring
glory
to me
by
taking
from
what
is
mine
and
making
it
known
to
you.
All
that
belongs
to the
Father
is
mine.
That
is why
I said
the
Spirit
will
take
from
what
is
mine
and
make
it
known
to
you."
Morpheus:
Do
you
know
what
I’m
talking
about?
Neo: The Matrix?
Morpheus: Do you
want to know what it is?
Neo: (nods in the
affirmative)
Morpheus: The Matrix
is everywhere. It is all around us, even now, in this very room. You can
see it when you look out your window, or when you turn on your television.
You can feel it when you go to work, or when you go to church, or when you
pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to
blind you from the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Morpheus: That you
are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else, you were born into bondage, born
inside a prison that you cannot smell, taste, or touch. A prison for your
mind. Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to
see it for yourself. (Produces a box containing two colored pills, one
blue and one red.) This is your last chance. After this, there is no
turning back. You take the blue pill, the story ends, you awake in your
bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you
stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes. (Pause.
Neo reaches for the red pill.) Remember: all I’m offering is the truth,
nothing more. (Neo swallows the red pill with a glass of water.)*

"For the heroes of all time have gone before us; the labyrinth is
thoroughly known; we have only to follow the thread of the hero-path. And
where we had thought to find an abomination, we shall find a god; where we
had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves; where we had thought
to travel outward, we shall come to the center of our own existence; where
we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world." —
Joseph Campbell from his book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces
