What is often misunderstood is that the Seizing of the Sword stage of the Hero's Journey / Transformation is actually an expansion of consciousness. It is the Seizing of the Sword that indicates to the Hero that s/he is gaining the capacity that was previously lacking. The Journey is all about that - to gain the capacity [to conquer challenges] that was previously lacking. Further allies begin to believe that the Hero is "The One."
In The Matrix (1999), it is after Neo rescues Morpheus that he and the others finally begin to believe that he is the One.
Which brings us to another often missed phase of the Hero's Journey - the EXPLICIT RECOGNITION. Where is is explicitly stated that there is more to this Hero than previously met the eye.
