I am once again drawn to the profound truths which can be found in movies. James Cameron's Avatar is one of those brilliant pieces that not only introduces universal themes but also speaks intimately to the soul. One of those themes centers on the idea we are all connected. The cool thing about Avatar is that it displays this connection on both a physical and a psychic level!
On the physical level, the tails of the Na'vi humanoids connected with animals to form a much more complete and telepathic link which enabled them to function as one entity.
They also made the same physical connection to the Tree of Souls, which was the physical representation of God on their planet, referred to as Eywa. Once connected directly to Eywa, the Na'vi were able to access all information contained within.
What I find so fascinating about the whole concept is this: Cameron shows how the Na'vi connect at a heart/soul level by giving the visual image of actual physical connection. To me, he is telling us we are all connected at some level. What becomes important in this connection process is the intent to connect in the first place. Once you allow yourself to connect, the actual connection becomes simple.
Our world is currently a world of separation. We are taught to identify ourselves by gender, by politics, by religion, by race, by culture, by sexual orientation, etc. We allow our differences to come between us, and most days we don't think twice about doing it. It is what we know.
For me, James Cameron takes us to a "fictional" place in order to for us to see how intimately we are connected. He makes us understand we are all the same underneath and that we can choose to connect and function as ONE entity!!!
As humans, our very real connection is the heart. The more we get quiet and listen to the guidance it imparts, the more we allow ourselves to take down the barriers that separate and enter a whole new world where everyone is able to work for the greater good!!!
Your heart is your connection to the One!!! Choose to connect today!!!
