I See You!!!

One can often find profound truths within movies. One of my ultimate favorite movie truths is contained in the James Cameron movie "Avatar". In it, the native people of the planet Pandora, the Na'vi, have a profound regard for all life. Everything is included in this reverence, including people, animals and plants. Killing anything includes a profound sense of loss and a desire to give thanks for its sacrifice. The natives themselves have a way of looking at each other that seems to go to the very core of who that being actually is. They use the term, "I see you", to indicate they see not only the physical person standing before them but also the spiritual soul contained therein.

In our world, we usually only look to the superficial. Often we judge someone's character based on outside appearance--things like age and weight and clothing. This is the experience our five senses provide for us. The question becomes, is that all there is?

The vast majority of us know there is much more to a person than physical appearance. Many of us are even willing to explore what lies inside by taking the time to get to know someone. Sometimes what we discover surprises us.

Still, the "I see you" used in the Avatar movie is much more profound than just taking some time to getting to know someone. The Avatar "I see you" actually involves not only understanding another person from an intellectual, five sense level. It speaks to finding the heart and soul of the living being. The Avatar "I see you" goes to the level of seeing with the heart.

When you see something with the heart, you sense the energy of that person. You feel the feelings, sense the intent that goes along with that physical being. You feel the heart of the other and what courses through it. In a very real way, you are reading the other's energy signature--the frequency.

Try sitting in comfortable silence for a few minutes with someone you are close to. Ask yourself what they are feeling. Try to get a picture of what motivates them and what desires are in their heart. Allow the thoughts and feelings to sink in and to honor that person.

You too may be able to look at someone and see into the depths of their soul! It is a profound and life changing experience.

Know that I honor who you are in the world! 

I see you!!!
