Who are we?

Very true, Fkeu'itan - and here's the thing:

If our cells gets abilities from the larger organism as a whole - us... abilities that lie beyond their physical senses...

Then what if the feeling so many people have that there is something greater... is something harnessed from us being a part of a larger being - Earth?

Indeed.

This an interesting proposition. I would have to say that the energy that we are harnessing (or perhaps that is being harnessed from us) comes not from the Earth itself as a physical body, but instead from the life that it provides and supports - forming a global energy collective if you will.

I do not see this force as 'Eywa' - I do not believe it is a sentient force - but I do believe that it is there.

Again though, having said that, the scales of good and bad energy that we appear to give to our planet - the great supporter - are far, far out of balance and we are beginning to see the concequences of such selfish actions. Could this be the life-force of our planet fighting back, seeking to restore balance once again, just as Eywa did? Or is it merely a scientific reaction that is out of alignment?

So many questions, so few solid answers.

This is clearly a question I will have to contemplate much more thoroughly.
