Knowledge prevails over blind faith. This overcoming of blindness is explicitly rendered in The Matrix Revolutions when Bane/Smith burns Neo's eyes, rendering him physically blind.
While his powers allow him to regain a type of sight, Neo remains physically blinded for the rest of the film, still wearing bloodied bandages over his eyes at the time of his death.
By going blind, Neo obtains a "third eye" through which he can perceive the true nature of things, instead of being fooled by their external appearances. It is this true sight that guides him through the climax of the series and allows him to defeat Agent Smith.
Neo and Trinity are ambushed by the stowaway Bane/Smith, who blinds Neo with an electric cable, but is killed when Neo discovers an ability to "see" programs and machines independently without his eyesight.
The connection between Neo and the machines was wireless, so to speak, which was why he could “see” them even after being blinded in The Matrix Revolutions. Considering the Matrix to be part of a greater machine network – a wireless hive mind – Neo's abilities don't seem as far-fetched.

Why does Neo always wear sunglasses?
When Neo enters his new world, his sunglasses serve as protection for him, keeping him invulnerable to the dangers and surprises he encounters. Mirrors reveal how we see the outside world, but also, crucially, how we see ourselves and our own world.
In The Matrix, being The One meant that Neo could perceive the Matrix simulation in a way that no other human could. Not only that, but The One would also have the ability to bend the Matrix simulation code, meaning that The One would not have to answer to any of the rules inside the Matrix, such as gravity.
The purpose of showing Neo dropping bald and naked in his pod is to liken him to a newborn. Neo's life only truly begins after being unplugged from the Matrix, and this is represented by his clinical, hairless appearance at the start.
Morpheus is driven by an unrelenting belief that Neo is a reincarnation of the first "One," a man who had the ability to control every aspect of the computer simulation and who freed the first humans. Morpheus reveals that after the original "One" died, the Oracle "prophesied his return," he says.
While it is technically true that Neo is 97 years old in The Matrix Resurrections, he does not age traditionally in those 60 years. Instead, The Analyst rebuilt both Neo and Trinity at great expense several times in order to power his new Matrix during that period.
Because he chose the red pill, Neo became aware for the first time of the oppressive, parasitic nature of the Matrix. We too live inside a matrix, and the hegemonic power of the matrix has only strengthened since September 11, 2001.
Force, space and magnitude are all illusions in the Matrix. Neo is flying, but not propelling himself per se so much as choosing where to exist. Thus there is no more limit on his speed than on his ability to pass through Agent Smith or stop bullets in motion.
Essentially, the process of being resurrected and reuploaded into the Matrix (and coded all over again whenever he tried to escape) has quashed Neo's One powers.
They both died in the real world, so there didn't seem to be any loophole that would bring them back. Death was a mere inconvenience, however, and the duo are back in the new movie. Pre-release theories included Resurrections taking place in an earlier Matrix iteration, meaning they weren't our Neo and Trinity.
Why is Caillou bald? Caillou was first conceived as a young baby, who usually have very little hair. When it came time to age Caillou for situations more appropriate for a two or four-year-old, the addition of hair would have made him unrecognizable.
The Animatrix confirms that only two people have ever achieved self-substantiation: an Olympic track athlete named Dan Davis and a teenager known as The Kid. The Animatrix segment "World Record" revealed Dan accidentally unplugged himself from The Matrix by pushing himself beyond his physical limitations during a race.
Even if Neo retains his hand-to-hand combat skills in a true reality, he's no match for Wick's deadly precision or his ability to use whatever's on hand to do some serious damage. But beyond that, Neo isn't used to fighting real people.
Before being reborn, Smith was the perfect antithesis to Neo; where Neo freed minds, Smith took them over, adding them to his web and taking their abilities. He even gained the power of flight and proved he could do almost anything Neo could. As a result, his return in Resurrections showed him at more of an advantage.
Evicted Big Brother Naija All Stars housemate, Uriel Oputa, has revealed that she and Neo kissed every weekend during the three weeks she spent on the reality show.
Since the mirror's silvery goo seems similar to the liquid in Neo's pod, the mirror plays a crucial role in transitioning Neo and the movie's audience from one perceived reality to another. Put simply, in technical terms, the mirror creates a seamless graphic match that links the two scenes.
Neo and Trinity's love story may be lovers in a hopeless place – a trope common in science fiction- but they embody the power of love, which is the ability to believe In your partner when they simply can't see it.
