Thoughts on Avatar

I don't usually get sucked into movies, at all, but Avatar was just so visually stunning and thought provoking, I even found myself feeling quite emotional as the story progressed; how awful is humanity, I was thinking. The wisdom contained in the writing of this film probably barely touched most people's intellect, flying swiftly right over their heads. Others may think, well its nice, the idea that everything is energy, connected and living in harmony with nature and the Na'vi (the 'aliens' of the story) living in balance with mind, body and spirit, yes a nice idea, but its just a story, we can't do that.
Can't or won't?
We started out like that; peaceful, powerful, balanced and wise beings living in a harmonious environment and then over time we became corrupted, egotistical and materialistic beings; disconnected from our truth and from each other, we forgot who we really are. Most people will never wake up to this, they will remain lemmings controlled by the government, society, the media; they'll never think for themselves. They'll always be on an emotional roller-coaster as they acquire and lose, acquire and lose the things they are told they need to make them happy. They will lead insignificant lives of no benefit to themselves or the human race as a whole.
Excuse me as I jump off the soul destroying merry-go-round, step back and see the bigger picture.
Phew, what a relief! Now my stomach's not churning over and over with anxiety each day, on the contrary, my mind is now available to churn on all the things I was missing out on at the 'fairground'.
As a detached observer, I can be free of influence, I'm less stressed, more care free and I have time to concentrate on my well being. I can now discern what's really important in my life; things I took for granted before. I now know I am free to choose how I feel, how I react to situations. I see how, as beings of energy we are all connected, ok we're all at different levels of awareness, but we are all here to learn through our experiences. I see that I am ultimately responsible for who I am, how I feel, what I do or do not do.  Therefore I choose not to inflict suffering on my brothers and sisters through any of my deeds and I choose not to suffer emotionally from any negativity aimed at me from others.
But I've probably strayed too far, so just watch the film and then reflect upon your own life.
Are you on the side of the blind leading the blind and destroying the beauty of all things or are you moved to lift the veil from your eyes, see the bigger picture and realise, through your thoughts, words and deeds, your impact upon yourself and those around you.
Clearly, the winners were the Na'vi and its simple, live free, love indiscriminately and learn continuously...
