Having heard so much about the movie Avatar I finally went to see it today. I expected a decent sci-fi/fantasy film because I trust the people who recommended so strongly that I see it and I very rarely see mainstream movies anymore because I find most of them mind-numbing. I heard rave reviews from people and considerable criticism but I figured I should see for myself because I felt intuitively there was a reason to go see this particular movie.
Well I was not prepared for the experience I had. This movie was powerful for me on many levels and I’m still in the process of integrating the experience. The stunning special effects and immersive 3D took me into another world. It was like a psychedelic experience and the alien forest landscape was much like the vision of the field of life from an astral point of view. A spirit realm of sorts or a shamanic vision. The visual experience while spectacular was only a small part of what this movie had to offer.
I found this movie to have a very deep spiritual message. It struck me at a heart level and touched my spirit as if the Earth Mother herself had a hand in creating it. I walked out incredibly empowered and feeling as if my perspective on the world and my relationship with it had shifted. The way the native people connect and interact with their forest home is a powerful reflection of what we have become disconnected from. They see life, meaning and spirit everywhere in their world and are truly and deeply interconnected with it. The way that these people free themselves from oppression is a very important message for those of us struggling with this dysfunctional society and what it has done to our planet. I think it points directly to what we need to realize and the power we need to call upon to effect real change. This movie isn’t just a story or a visual experience or a spiritual transmission, it is a call to action. Action that comes from the kind of interconnectedness and reverence for life shown here is profoundly powerful and exactly what is needed right now. The soldier who is a main character in the movie goes through a transformation through his contact with the native people and their enchanted world that I feel reflects very well the transformation so many of us are experiencing right now.
Some have questioned how such a movie could have been created by a corporate enterprise such as Fox but I think it is a powerful symbol that this film emerged from a channel that has spread so much mind garbage and fear over the years. That these messages can come through a mainstream channel is a sign of the power of change and transformation we are now experiencing. It cannot be held back and we haven’t seen anything yet if you ask me.
I highly recommend this movie and strongly recommend you make sure to see it in 3D because the effect is an essential part of the experience. This movie communicates directly with the subconscious mind in a way that very few movies have. I believe it will have a powerful and positive effect on the field.
Thanks for writing about the experience you had Colin. I too had an eye (and heart) opening experience while seeing this ‘movie’ / message from Gaia. There’s no stopping the Awakening on this planet, let us rejoice that and let go of the fear!
I agree with you, Colin. It felt to me, also, like Avatar was broadcasting a message from a place much deeper and greater than a mere screenplay. It was a broadcast of an incredibly valuable message from source, and the timing was perfect.
