Hello Angelika,
How wonderful of you to join us from Austria.
And thank you so much for your comments about Avatar. All being well, I am planning to see it myself tomorrow.

It really does seem as though everyone who has seen it have had a wonderful ‘life-experience’ as a result.

And there can be no more important lesson for us to learn than about the importance of connection and loving relationships.

Please visit again Angelika
Love
Kashonia

i saw the movie and i really loved to see so much colour and a nature and environment so beautiful and rich. i believe that its not possible to find out what a movie like this does with the believes and understanding of the people which go to see it, because every person is unique and takes its development from so many sides and impressions, so that we cannot find out what something does to us or others. so i only want to share what it did to me.
“its all about connection” i took with me. and because of that, i say to myself: angelika, take your time to take good care for the connections who are important to you. right before i came over twitter on your page kashonia, i had a bad situation with my youngest daughter – she is a real hard teacher to me sometimes – and your comment to the film reminded me at that for me essential thing in my life: its all about connection.
so, thanks to all, who gave their pieces, to remind me. angelika, austria.

Elizabeth and Edel,
It’s also good to read your comments too.
And especially to hear Edel, that you, like me, didn’t think that you’d like the film either. But on seeing it all that changed.

I am so trilled to get all of these comments, and beautiful insights, like the ones that you offered Elizabeth.

Thank you again to everyone.

I do hope to see many more comments coming through. As I indicated above – the more we comment and discuss things the more we open up and grow.

Love
Kashonia

Hello Nancy,
I do appreciate the time you’ve taken to write up your comment.
And I would normally agree that one shouldn’t make a judgement without all of the facts. However, all I did was to offer an opinion BASED on what I’d seen – which was the trailer and promotional material.

And you’re right, it would have been extremely irresponsible and totally unethical to have not disclosed that I had not seen the film.

But I do have a right to an opinion based on the limited knowledge that I had.
And it was because of that limited knowledge that I asked several times throughout my post for people to give me their perspective. Especially if they had actually seen the film. Which you have done.

And I do so appreciate all of the comments from everyone.

This is exactly what we need to do more of – discuss what’s going on.

And based on the positive comments, I will definitely go and see it if i can get there before it finishes. As I mentioned in a previous post it’s a 5 hour return drive to get to a cinema from here. And I have been told of what must be pirated copies on the web. But if I’m going to see the film I want the best viewing experience possible.

The most exciting thing in hearing these positive comments is that I had my AH-HA moment a few comments ago. I asked why would James Cameron have what I consider to be a negative trailer? As so often happens, when we ask a specific question we often get an immediate answer from within – which I did.

And it is such a beautiful thing – which I’m sure was done intentially. To have the sort of trailer he ran will attract the EXACT SORT of people who really need to see this wonderful world of Pandora. And it’s more than likely that they are the people leaving the movie so depressed – which is great because they have been able to see what could be.

I wish I could attract – and keep – those sorts of people that Cameron was targeting, to http://www.RaisingLoveConsciousness.com
But I find that a little too hard to do at this stage. Maybe a little later.

Nevertheless, as I say in the post Header – it’s “Time to make Pandora Here On Earth”. And that’s exactly what I see my mission to be – in my own small way.

And sometime second hand knowledge is good enough to stimulate discussion. And discussion is far more important than just straight opinions. It’s discussion that opens us up to take a multi-perspective view of things – whatever those things might be at the time. And that is a BIG KEY to consciousness raising – to be open enough, and flexible enough, to change your might and look at ever bigger possibilities.

This discussion has led me to change my original view and now I really want to see the film.

Thanks so much Nancy for your comment,
love

With all due respect, Kashonia, I believe if you are going to offer a critique of something – a book , a movie, piece of music, a show, a law or political view, etc. – that it is MANDATORY to FIRST see it, listen to it, read it, etc. It is not very responsible to offer your opinion about something you are not completely familiar with. Taking a trailer and using it to generalize to the entire movie is not the proper way to handle this. How can you offer an opinion that will influence others when you have not actually seen the movie?

This occurs all the time in politics and in the media – someone hears someone else say something about what they see or hear, then it’s “whisper down the lane” and things get out of context and totally distorted. Next thing you know, people are condemning something they have absolutely no first-hand knowledge about. People have boycotted things, criticized and ridiculed based on someone else’s opinion and judgment and not their own.

We need MORE PEOPLE TO ACTUALLY THINK FOR THEMSELVES IN THIS WORLD. I respect much of what you write about Kashonia, but, must disagree with you on this whole concept about offering opinions of something you don’t have first-hand knowledge about after only viewing a promotional piece.

I encourage you to please see the movie – I believe you will leave the theater with a better idea of it’s TRUE MEANING… THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE that people will open their minds and hearts to something beyond the superficial desires and greed that have
held so much power over people in the past. We are SHIFTING NOW, and I sincerely believe that movies like Avatar help raise awareness and consciousness to a HIGHER level – UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS and UPLIFTING the HUMAN SPIRIT is what we ALL need to be concerned with at this time of revolutionary change.

Avoiding is simply another way to deny reality – it serves no one. Please encourage your readers to ALWAYS form their own ideas and opinions based on REAL FACTS AND FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE – not what someone else has to say about it.

Thank you.

All the best to you,
Nancy

Avitar was not a film I thought I would see. My daughter took me to see it and it was like I came home.
Personally, I think the director and producers are amazing for having the courage to put this message out through a childrens film. What a message! For Hollywood to finally understand that everyone and everything is connected, awesome! It may be set on a ficticious planet but it relates to us on earth, the solar system, the universe, the multi universes…to every part of energy…we are one.

We live in a dualistic reality so of course people are going to perceive a movie like this in the light that they live. In my opinion the movie was made to give ‘us’ a glimpse into what is to come – creating little seeds all over our world!! With those seeds people start to question our reality & this is how change takes hold!! Those that have found themselves in a depressive state maybe people that have a subconscious yearning to ‘go home’ & energetically connect to how the alien planet co-creates & exists. Often these feelings can be used to create positive change (with support & love). I wonder how many ‘wake up’ to who we really are (light beings) & start seeking from this experience. As one post (Ivar Hill) said, “I live in a dying world.” yes exactly but death always precedes re-birth/creation of a new awareness. One of the things that I find interesting is that no one has commented on the subtle message in the film of the main character who is paralysed in our reality but has freedom from his affliction in the alien world – another subconscious message. From a higher perspective I also liked the rythum that flowed with the movie 2012 & Avatar. 2012 has been definately advertised as a doomsday message created to evoke fear – hot on the heels of this movie Avatar came out – not really giving 2012 enough time to soak in!! Showing the potential of a new world if we will only wake up to the old patterns that no longer serve us. Just as a side note: When the movie ‘The Secret’ came out I noticed a lot of spiritually awake people shun the movie for it’s strong theme of material abundance. I often argued that this movie was fantastic to open the eyes of ‘normal’ people out there who were unaware of their role in creating their reality. Last week at the bank the young bankteller that was serving me asked if I had seen the movie. He then went on to explain that he has noticed that when he is aware of creating, his life flows more smoothly than when he is unconscious & just living!! I smiled – he was the very reason that the movie was created!! Let’s all wake up!!

I’ve made the decision – I will definitely go down and see Avatar.

Just not sure when, because the nearest movie cinema to me is a 5 hour return drive.

So I really have to work up to it.

But I’ve been giving it all a lot of thought, and yes I think it could have some GREAT merit by enducing people to see it who NEED to see it. And then showing them what a different world can really be like.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the suggestion.

But if I post it they’ll probably put me in jail.

And whilst the website might work – it certainly wouldn’t have the same atmosphere as the full sound, size and quality cinema : – )

How fascinating to see these comments. Thank you so much for your time in writing them.

The thing that amazed me about the trailer is that that is the movie’s #1 promotional piece. And yet that alone has left some of us with a negative reaction.

The trailer is obviously aimed at a totally different target audience that us.

Julie, if you’ve seen it twice then there must be something very special about it.
As I mentioned, I can understand that there could be a very positive side to the movie too. And Julie obviously that’s what touched your heart. Which clearly shows the sort of person that you are.

I hope that others who’ve seen the movie will add their perspective.

Actually, I just had a thought. Had the movie just focused on the beautiful Pandora side of things, the people who MOST need to see the film would never go to it.

And so from that perspective alone – it would be a very important film to have out in the public arena.

On the other hand, for those who are well aware of what a Pandora existence could be like and who are at the stage of not wanting to be subjected to violence, even though there is a positive aspect too. Then they have no need to see the film.

Food for thought?

As I said, I’d love to read more comments

Love
