(Construct)
Morpheus:
The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're
inside, you look around. What do you see. Business men, teachers, lawyers,
carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until
we do, these people are still a part of that system, and that makes them
our enemy.
You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged.
And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it.
Enter in at the narrow gate; for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many go that way...1
Were you listening to me Neo, or were you looking at the woman in the red dress?
Neo:
I was...
Morpheus:
Look again. Freeze it.
Neo:
This...this isn't the Matrix?
Morpheus:
No. It's another training program designed to teach you one thing. If
you are not one of us,
you are one of them.
He who is not for me is against me. 2
What are they?
Morpheus:
Sentient Programs. They can move in and out of any software still hard
wired to their system. That means that anyone we haven't unplugged is
potentially an agent. Inside the Matrix, they are everyone and they are
no one. We are survived by hiding from them, by running from them.
But they
are the gatekeepers.
They are guarding all the doors.
They are holding all the keys;
which means that sooner or later,
someone is going to have to fight them.
Morpheus:
I won't lie to you, Neo.
Every single man or woman
who has stood their ground, everyone
who has fought an agent has died.
But where they have failed,
you will succeed.
Someone?
Why?
I've seen an agent punch through a concrete wall. Men have emptied entire clips at them and hit nothing but air. Yet their strength and their speed are still based in a world that is built on rules. Because of that, they will never be as strong or as fast as you can be.
Neo:
What are you trying to tell me,
that I can dodge bullets?
No Neo. I'm trying to tell you
that when you're ready,
you won't have to.
The
Book:
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh, for the
weapons of our warfare are not |physical|, but mighty through God for
the pulling down of strongholds... 2
...we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world... 3
Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand them in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 5
