In the movie "The Matrix" Morpheus (Mor "Free Us") is named after the god of dreams and sleep in Greek Mythology. He asked Neo to "Free" his mind and jump. After Morpheus made the jump, Neo attempted and fell. It wasn't because Neo didn't believe, it was his attachments to what he perceived as reality "bringing him down". Once he learned to "Free" his mind and drop his attachments, his capabilities became limitless. Of course this is metaphorical. However, when we learn to free our mind and not allow our attachments to bring us down, we will no longer be brought down by the rigors of life.
