[QUOTE="John Crichton, post: 2717652, member: 4779"] That quote is not accurate. Truncating what she said loses the actual meaning. She talks about being the One and referring to it as just like being in love: "No one can tell you you're in love you just know it, through and through - balls to bones." "Well, I'd better have a look at you. Open your mouth and say, ah... Okay. Now I'm supposed to say: Mmmmm, that's interesting. But... then you say..." "But what?" "... but, you already know what I'm going to tell you." "I'm not the One." "Sorry kid, you got the gift. But it looks like you're waiting for something." "What?" "You're next life maybe. Who knows? That's the way these things go." The problem with your obervation is that he was already The One, he just didn't know himself. Trinity couldn't tell him, Morpheus couldn't tell him, no one could tell him. He was also exhibiting signs of One powers (dodging bullets) way before Smith took him down near the end. The Oracle was simply telling Neo what he already thought because that's the only way to self discovery: you have to do it yourself. That last sentence was a throw-away line with a tiny bit of meaning behind it. It wasn't referring to an actual other life or rebirth. I guess one could look at it that way but it's a real stretch. Which is okay. I just disagree. [/QUOTE]
