And yet again, another hint for us; another poke to our very mind! Wake up you people! Setting aside whatever business or financial motivations behind what made James Cameron to produce another masterpiece, the strong message which was meant to be conveyed, I believe, was delivered beautifully and succinctly. What was the message? Hang in there folks. Let me think, oh yes, the message! Humans, the earth, life, death, universe, lifestyle... What are we humans really?! Are we really the complete creations who deserve the kingdom of the cosmos? Or are we a plague which consumes the resources of its host to the depletion of them all? Or maybe we are the super creations which are still evolving into perfection. Being realistic and considering the fact that we are progressing and evolving, my next question is in what way are we moving forward? What is our understanding of our universe? Where are we standing on the continuum of human age? Are we looking at around us through the correct lenses? Yep, we have them both – left hemisphere and right hemisphere! Fortunately or unfortunately we have them both. Processing through our analytical right hemisphere, we need resources, if we add this to that we'll get the other one! There is no doubt without such mental processing approach, science and our understanding of the universe will linger into the darkness. However, compared to what intuition and beyond can bring along, our rational, analytical function is like an infant that has been around since the dawn of time. No, did not mean that at all. Since the dawn of contractual spoken and written language! Yes, we have learned through time, we have recorded our mistakes and learned from them. Well, at least for the most parts! We often do tend to make same mistakes more than once! Back to the hemispheres. The other lens through which we can view the world differently is our second processing and connecting ability which links us to the universe itself. Our non-stop endeavor in understanding the laws of the universe will all hopefully yield to the exploration of the laws of the universe. The fact is that as humans, we are so desperately dependent on our physical manifestation of our entity that we cannot see otherwise. The Na'vi people in Avatar illustrated the great benefits of integrating with our surrounding of which we are a part. Fictitious? Yes, the story is but can you call the reality behind it fictitious? I don't think so. Go green, go vegetarian, go pro nature. Why all that? Because we have already experienced and are still experiencing our lack of respect to, integration with, and disrespecting our mother earth and in a greater scale our universe and its very simple laws like the law of gravity, the law of attraction, the law of karma, and so forth. Of course, we cannot physically experience connecting our pony tail to the flying monster in order to guide and control or in a sense communicate with it. That is our true challenge in life. It is to try to come to understand how things work around us. All we need is to open our eyes and respect what we have and express our constant gratitude for everything around us. Lucky those who have learned the lessons of such laws and abide by them, and have undergone great great challenges in their lives to understand and prove them to themselves and people around them. Maybe by letting our fears go, maybe by asking for less, maybe by believing in who we are and what we can do, we, too, can learn the right ways and purposes behind our physical acts. Special thanks to individuals like James, who once in a while remind us of who we are and where we are and should be heading to...
