There are definite spiritual connoctations with this (see Tao). The idea of transcendence is not new. In fact, what Neo is able to do in the Matrix is free his mind in order to break the rules that bind most others. Superman was supposed to be able to do this in the real world but Neo followed a path and soon was able to break free from his mental conditioning in order to fly.
