The ability to 'stop' bullets-Shouki's theory.

**Shouki**

I don't believe Neo is dead because at revolutions I noticed things..mhm..mhm.

First, when Neo was dragged out onto that platform by the machine(I dunt remember exactly what happens here, i forgot some of it) but he was dropped on a platform and then it switchs to his view of the 'true light'.

Then the Oracle when asked if they'd see Neo again she said "I have a feeling we'll be seeing him again some day"

Yes anyone can stop bullets if their mind is free enough, but only Neos is.

Neo cannot do the things he does "because he is the One", He is the one because of the things he can do.

**thornTree**

Very good reasoning, and I am prone to agree with you to a certain
degree. Everyone has the potential to do what Neo does, with training
and freeing their mind more and more, and with a deeper understanding
of the Matrix.

As for the bullet-stopping however, this was something not even the
Merovingian expected Neo to do (although he wasn't completely
surprised).

However, when Neo blocks the sword with the edge of his hand, the
Merovingian was clearly surprised and caught off guard - indicating
that Neo's abilities transcended those of the One's before him.

Im pretty sure everyone told you the same thing that you are right. And Im glad you have stated that because you can use that thought even in the real world.

Yes, he did block the sword with his hand but he still got cut and bled as the Merovingian had said "See he's still only human"

**Vaico**

Seeing as how the sword should of cut his hand off and all Neo got was a little cut....I still say it's impressive.

**Shouki**

Yes it is impressive SMILEY

**bleep** right it's impressive. I get that same kinda cut when I try to stop a newspaper:smileywink: I agree with you completely, Shouki. A human being in the matrix is capable of whatever they can realize inside the matrix. If Neo wanted to he could've the bullets into smiley faces like that one....anyway, nice work.

Just a little spin on things that hasn't been mentioned so far.

You say that redpills are incapable of this feat due to fear. As we all know by now there is an Emergency Jack Out Procedure in place so we dont all die horribly when our RSI's get beaten to rather messy pulps. Surely as a result of this the vast majority of the fear has been removed from our brains causing us to be far more capable then those prior to the truce?

Basically if we are aware that dying in the Matrix no longer kills us in the real then in theory the mind should be free enough of fear to try anything.

On that note I'm off to stop bullets... :smileywink:

EDIT: Yeah... Didn't work......... Heh heh

Looking at it in a real life aspect I suppose it wouldn't matter
because... You would be dead. And after that, there isn't much to fear.
That is why, in my opinion, to fear death is pointless. It is
acceptable to fear pain, however. But to destroy your fear of an end...
That is when your mind truly becomes free.

you go ahead and try to stop those bullets let me know how it works out :p

sexyjoe69

also if every man or woman who has fought an agent has died why is seraph still alive?

**feilong**

b/c he too is a program like the agent so he cant die like a human would in the matrix

oblivion-knight

the problem with this theory is that somestimes like we will be walking alone and just get hit by a car right?

well you did not know you were going to die so why did you die anyways?

becuase you did not believe or even consider it happening so why did you not dodge that car???????

ill tell you why because the matrix aint real.
