Nearly a quarter billion in revenue on the first weekend for Avatar (world wide distribution) is impressive. Like the movie trilogy, Matrix, there are many spiritual truths embedded within the highly graphic and action-filled movie; however, one that got my attention was the floating mountains of Avatar.
The mountains which seemed to float above the planet were each attached by vines.
What seems to us to be a random collection of planets and an even more random disconnect between people, religions, and nations IS NOT! Our universe is not 4% disconnected matter (planets, stars, galaxies, etc.) and 96% space (non matter). We are now (science) to begin to understand that the invisible 96% is 73% dark energy and 23% dark matter (the gravitational field needed to keep whirling galaxies from flying apart as they spin).
The universe isn’t just the VISIBLE forms of matter!
We are NOT just the PHYSICAL FORMS that we call a body. Empty space is not empty and we are not confined to our physical frames. We are spirit (can you say ENERGY, LIGHT, VIBRATION?), like the floating mountains, tied to the ONE. The quantum physics discovery of non-locality is causing scientists to redefine their religion of scientific materialism. When we come to the realization that we are more than our brother’s keeper, we are our brother, then we open a new way of life wherein we can mutually co-exist in peace.
Until then, we’ll continue along the path of destruction.
Only LOVE can save us. Isn’t that the message of the Kingdom- and Jesus?
“Love is the sage’s stone;
It takes gold from the clod;
It turns naught into aught,
Transforms me into God.” — Angelus Silesius
