Why do you want to be a NA'Vi on Pandora?

[Niri Te]

While "Pandora" and the "Na'vi" are the creation of J.C.'s mind, that does not mean that they do not exist at some level, somewhere in the universe. They DON'T need to be in the Appha Centauri system, and they don't need to be blue with tails, that setting, and those people were used by him as a way to tell a Parable, so to speak. They were a way to awake people on this planet from their slumber, and in a beautifully poetic way, show them that we can turn this planet, and our Species around, and not GO to Pandora, but CREATE it right here.
There are places on this planet, where it looks just like Pandora, I know, I have lived there, they are few, and getting scarcer, but they EXIST, and we can bring them back.
In order to be able to start to turn this planet around, we as a species need to FIRST become more LIKE the Na'vi. Not the color of our skin, but our attitudes, and way of life.
This is not some unobtainable state of being, they have their faults too, just look at, according to some of the publications, their acceptance of extra-marital sexual relations, they are NOT perfect "Angelic Beings" , but are realistic, attainable role models, though the creation of their loose sexual attitudes takes their "Nobility" down a notch or two in my eyes. This may be a GOOD thing though, as it makes them more attainable in many people's eyes.
We can turn this around, once we, as a species realize that even though the Earth is MUCH bigger, and more complex than we, as individuals are, we CAN do it grave damage, by our actions.
We CAN, by our attitudes and actions CREATE Pandora in our lives RIGHT NOW. All that we must do, is be willing to do so.
I used to live under a Tribal system, on an Island in the South Pacific that could have been USED for the location for the jungle shots in the movie, and that is a part of my life that I could never give up the memories of, but Tee and I have CREATED the energy of Pandora right here in the middle of the Far West Texas Prairie, without a tree in sight, by our loving attitude toward each other, and our lifestyle of being totally dedicated to a life of drawing what we need to survive from renewable sources. This includes the construction of our house, the energy that we capture from the Sun, and wind, and our attempts at burning, or being the cause of burning as little fossil fuels as possible.
We may not be able to "GO" to Pandora, but we can CREATE it right here, right now. All we have to do is be willing to adapt, and to wake up our tsmuk on this planet, showing them that THEY can make a change too.
