The Matrix "Trinity"

I've always wondered about the significance of "the trinity". It seems like a nonsense concept. "God" is singular, but also three things. Huh?

The Matrix trinity is:
  • Morpheus
  • Neo
  • Trinity

Neo starts the movie unaware that there is a Matrix. He is a strawman model in the Architect created "world simulation". He is the "human" Thomas Anderson who was born on September 13, 1971. (That day, or possibly the 11th is supposed to be the 'actual' birthday of Jesus according to some people.) Thomas Anderson is the "sleeping" Neo.

Eventually Thomas Anderson learns from Morpheus that "the Matrix" is a construct in his mind. Morpheus is essentially awareness that the Matrix is a self-created construct. He''s "the father" in the trinity. The "red pill" transforms Thomas Anderson into Neo--a self aware avatar in the Matrix. He's the "son".

The "executive" consciousness or Morpheus is reflected in Neo. The "father" begets a "son".

Trinity represents the Organic Reality of both Neo and the Matrix. She's the "holy spirit" in "the trinity".

Both Neo and Trinity have twins in the Matrix. Trinity's "twin" is The Oracle. The Oracle is the holy spirit of the Matrix world--the spirit of the Organic reality. Neo's twin is The Architect. The "Architect" is really the hardware of our mind that creates "the Matrix".

Each of us has the machinery in our mind that creates a model version of reality. Our strawman, that is our own version of the "Thomas Anderson" character bumbles around in the false, "Architect" created reality in our own consciousness. Our own "Thomas Anderson" can't discern the difference between fantasy and organic, actual 3D reality most of the time.

The Agent Smith character is Neo's enemy--he's basically the evil Twin of Neo.

Neo is an organic being who is trapped in an artificial reality. Agent Smith is an artificial being who wants to get into the organic reality, and ultimately does, but hates it because "it stinks". Agent Smith is a self-aware element of "The Matrix".

It's also interesting that the robot machines that took over the world are like insects. All throughout the movie, they are depicted as insect like, even inside the Matrix. For example, when the Agents first interrogate Thomas Anderson, they inject him with an insect like thing.
