I Honestly Beleave Avatar Points to and gives Value to a very deep part of our inner primal core understanding but wording it this way may not resonate with many people, After seeing the film I felt a very deep call from inside I wanted to live on Pandora and Walk with the Na'Vi people. There "life way" simply resonated deep inside, What many people may not realise is that we "see" Avatar at many levels, I have said this before, its a very unique film in this aspect because of its imersive dream like connections that point to many shared comon dreams our people have deep inside. Our true core self "sees" this film as well in quite a profound way , many of us in the world today live in conflict with our true "Dream" inside this profoundly effects our sense of place, Avatar gives value to this repressd inner core understanding , Gives it a strong Voice for this part of us "knows the truth" I suspect that Cameron himself in creating Avatar used images from his own dreams or "posably" altered Consciousness experences, or he shared the dreams of others. Even though our intellect may not see the film as that diffrent our inner core self reflects on our deep core memorys and feelings held inside on the issues our people face in the world today ,this "Connection" to this core part of us in our culture "Is at very real risk of being torn out by the roots"
as our people evolve to changes in our world and the can't face the feelings and emotions coming from this core part of us "Our primal self sees the cause of our conflict and sadness" and "Breaks The Connection to this Critical bond" this truly Blinds our people to there ability to see and feel from our Hearts the roots of our core human issues,,Blind people are easy to mislead as they lack the ability to "see" and Question
our core human issues with our own eyes and our Heartfelt feelings. there is a very intresresting new understanding relating to children as young as 2 months old , it has been found that even at this age they truly posess "Alturistic" primal understanding this is a "Science term" Altruistic | Define Altruistic at Dictionary.com if this is true we all posess "The Bond to our people at birth" But what is the first thing we teach young children in our culture is to "Fear strangers" this instantly puts a child into conflict with there core understanding and drives a sense of seperation and feeling of wrongness inside.I must include a honest reality check in saying there is a real risk so its not an illogical thing to do, I think Pandora And The Na'Vi people are an outstanding example of the true power of human creativity and a real tribute to all who worked so hard on the film, Apache_Blanca and others I would like to ask a deep question "Does the film feel Familer" is there intrest in looking at the core mytholigy behind Pandora and the Na'Vi, I would like to share What I think is a Connection if one rembers in the film Neytiri speaks to Jake about a Great Leader that brought the people together "In a time of great sorrow" the example in the film was "Turok Makto" I beleve Turok Makto was posably a great peacemaker who united the clans after they fought each other if so this story "Mirrors" the "Very real" lore of the "Haudenosaunee" who symbol on there flag is "The great tree of peace"
In this speach by Onondaga faithkeeper Oren Lyons, in New York City he tells this story, One unique fact We all admire the Na'Vi for there connection to the Creatures on Pandora and we all think this "Bond" could not be posable any other place if one looks at his examples this can help "some" people "Bridge" the roots of understanding one wonders why The Na'Vi And Pandora feel so "familer" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jP7yAqRMOsY its very important to note that Cameron took "direct" examples from the mytholigy and conflict issues facing many of earths native peoples , this is so no mater what culture one comes from around the world Avatar will have a familer connection and reflection on very real issues seen right in our own backyard.
