Do you want to see?

Neo takes the red pill; Lucy steps through the wardrobe; Alladin rubs the lamp; Elisha prays that the eyes of his servant would be opened; Peter, James, and John follow Jesus up to the Mount of Transfiguration. All of them discover that there is far more going on here than meets the eye. The film The Matrix is a parable, a metaphor - and though a dark story, it is far closer to reality and to your life than you probably have been led to believe. (I am referring only to the first film in the trilogy.) And the question Morpheus asks of Neo is a question the Scriptures ask each of us: Do you want to see? -- Waking the Dead, p 21
