Welcome to Planet Earth: The Avatar Way

Let me start by saying that I don’t normally go to the movies. For that matter, I don’t even own a TV set. This may put it in perspective for you, that for me to actually go and watch a movie, it has to be one that calls me very deeply because of its very Spiritual message. In my opinion, the movie Avatar excels at that and I can only thank James Cameron, the director, for creating such beautiful reminder for all of us.

In writing this article, I will not spoil it for the ones who haven’t watched the movie. But again, if you haven’t watched it, what I’m going to say may not make much sense. Needless to say, I do strongly suggest you watch it! Close your eyes on the violent parts or just ignore it as I did. Overall Avatar is a piece of art in so many levels.

Reading reviews of Avatar, I understand that some people are getting depressed after watching it. It seems people love the movie so much that they get depressed by not being able to be in a place like the planet of Pandora. Aren’t they? I believe some of you are getting depressed because there is something inside of you screaming to come out and shine and express. What is this?

Think about it now. You are a Spiritual being who are here visiting planet Earth. For you to operate, live, and move on planet Earth you need your physical body, which I frequently call the “earth suit”. You are not the physical body, you are Spirit in the physical body. In other words, your physical body is your Avatar! Focus on that for a moment. Go within and remember who you are. Feel yourself awakening and realizing that you are that Spirit inside the body, inside your Avatar. How precious is that? How precious is it to awaken and realize the gift of life! Of course there is something inside of you screaming to come out, it is that Spirit, your Soul. You have your own talents and gifts and your own expressions thru your unique Avatar. You must remember who you are and likely that depression will be replaced with Joy and Bliss because that is the true nature of Spirit. You already have your own Avatar and you are in it!

What is planet earth? By now I’m sure you are with me. Planet Earth is Pandora. If you awaken and realize you’re operating through your avatar, look at the planet with a new vision, with new eyes. How beautiful and precious is this place? This planet is magical. Everything is alive and we are all connected. We connect to one another and to everything on earth, to every creature, every tree, and every rock. Allow yourself to connect the Avatar way because it is more real than what you think reality is. Your Avatar is equipped with energy fields that connect with any energy fields of any element on this planet, including the soil, and the winds, and the fire, and the waters. We connect when we remember that we are Spirit, made of pure energy, pure Love and Light.

Don’t waste any time here with what is not important. Enjoy every precious moment. Planet Earth is Pandora, you are in your Avatar, and I see You.
