I tried to start a thread about the three characteristics of Trinity as a focus of her name once myself, but it didn't catch on. I started that thread with this quote from the Path of Neo website-
Path of Neo Website wrote: | | "The cool, confident and committed Trinity is usually right by Neo's side, providing the ultimate backup." |
And this is a quote from Zen Master Seung Sahn-
Zen Master Seung Sahn wrote: | | Cut all thinking and become "I don't know mind." This "don't know mind" is the three -- faith, courage and sincerity." |

Trinity expresses love

I posted this in another thread but it may make sense to post it here because this thread actually pertains to Trinity. I see Trinity as displaying the third face of God. She appears to be expressing love as well as power, wisdom and beauty.
When Neo chooses to save Trinity in Reloaded he chooses love. It is love that helps him find his way. Just like love can help us find our way. If we go against love we are most assuredly going against what is right. We also see that Christ chose this road as well ... the road of love is what lead him to the cross to die for humanitys' sins.
For Neo choosing love meant staying true to the path he had chosen. To have chosen the other alternatives would have gone against everything he was called to do. He would have gone against love, his pursuit to save Zion, and his call to end the war. Love helped Neo to stay true to the path.
We also must remember that love brought Neo back to life in Matrix 1 when Trinity whispered in his ear the truth. It was as if Trinity's kiss breathed life into him.
Trinity with her words and bold kiss must have reminded Neo of the truth of who he was and breathed new life into him. Much like we can imagine the Holy Spirit breathed life into Jesus as he resurrected from the dead.
The function of the Holy Spirit living in us is to reveal truth and guide us into it. Jesus describes the Holy Spirit in this way in John 16:13: "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."
I and many other philosophers (who have examined the Matrix movies) believe that Trinity represents the third face of God or the Holy Spirit. Neo represents Jesus (the Messiah figure) and Morpheus the father (he guides Neo and is called a father in the first film).
Anyhow, my point is that Trinity played the role of encourager, counselor, and helper to Neo (exactly what the Holy Spirit's role is described as in the Bible). She played a very important role in the films. Also, I think it was great that the Wachowski's had a woman play this role because I think it is appropriate that people begin to see a femine side to God. Man and woman were created in His image. That means God has femine qualities.
Finally, when Trinity dies in Revolutions I think it is consistent with Scripture. Jesus cried out on the cross, "Father why have you forsaken me." Because he took on the sins of the world God the Father and the Holy Spirit had to be separated from the Son. For he had to take on the sins of the world alone and pay the price alone. Neo had to finish the job alone just as Christ did. It was appropriate for the Wachowskis' to allow Trinity to die in the end.
