I felt the bond when Jake bonded to a pali, i could feel it's heartbeat,breath and it's primitive mind, it was afraid of Jake because it has never felt anything that was not yet connected to Eywa before. At this point a few people near me got startled as if they felt it too. The scenes where Jake was being taught things by Neyteri were exquisite. I felt the forest, the ground's warm moist soil, the little bugs, the air running through my hair, and noticed that I was one of them, but not Jake or Neyteri anymore, ONE OF THEM IN MY OWN RIGHT! I felt like i was a child again- i felt FREE! The people in the seats behind me started laughing, and then realized that while Neyteri gracefully landed after jumping from a tree, Jake was not so lucky, but his life was saved by a.. giant shroom.. I started laughing hysterically wondering if it was hallucinogenic or not, as did most of the people in the theater.
(at this point the movie was coming out of the screen and filing the entire theater with Pandora's world.)
Then I saw Tsu-tay, he looked at me and said: "Your kind cannot see. You will never make it up these mountains alive, Go home!" I told Tsu-tay that "I can see Eywa within you, I am ready to go with you." He called me a skown, and snickered saying "Since you you wanting to die, Come with!". I felt my ponytail bio-usb cable thingie blowing in the breeze as I climbed the mountains. The scariest part was when I jumped on the last remaining vine and climbed up the rest of the way to a mountain. I was slower than the rest of the Na'vi. BUT I MADE IT! Tsu-tay told me to "Go and choose an ikran to kill yourself with." I looked and saw there were a lot of them. Then there was one nice big purple one that nearly beheaded me with it's claw, and i wrestled with it! It was snapping at me like a rabid dog on a bad acid trip. I eventually pinned it down and connected MY OWN hair braid thingie to it.
WOAH OMG OMGOMGOMG!!!
I vaguely remember Jake bonding to the pali earlier, but that was JAKE's feelings, this was my OWN personal feelings of tshalu! I felt it's spirit enter me and my spirit enter it! It's powerful wings, and it's racing heart, and fear, Holy sh... THE FEAR! I told it "Purple dragon, you don't need to be afraid of me!" This ikran was MINE- it's one thing to imagine being able to fly on a pet dragon, it's quite another to EXPERIENCE IT!! Jake and I both flew our newly found friends and unlike Jake, I could fly with mine much better. I couldn't resist the temptation to buzz Tsu-tay for being such a skown and yelled an insult in Na'vi at him as i soared. Oh yes, i SOARED, I turned, i dove, i swooped in low and high. It was AMAZING! When i flew past the tree of souls i felt HER presence very strong and drank deeply of her divine presence. I was soaring with the rest of them,and then suddenly a BIG RED DRAGON was chasing me and i was scared, as he had one thought for us...LUNCH! I told the my dragon Nam'ru to fly as fast as she could and we barely escaped becoming it's meal. When it was over i landed on the ground and told my dragon she will be OK. Several people from the rows near us left and came back a bit later, my sitter said she felt like puking.
It was beautiful! The dragon flight was SO real. I couldn't concentrate on the movie and had to grab my glasses as a reality check, She came back during the scene when Jake was accepted into the tribe. I saw Mo'at and she smiled and said "You are one of us now, you will soon see Eywa and return to your world with her essence inside of you".
I then felt the joy of Jake and Neyteri running through this beautiful and sacred place. I felt the glowing trees brush against me and glow brighter as they did so. I felt it as Neyteri and Jake connected their ponytails to the tree and the love they had for each other. It was so beautiful. I connected my own hair braid thingie to the tree and, I saw it- first as shimmering rainbow colors than as a brilliant white light. Than I felt that i was leaving the world, but not afraid, but i didn't want to go, and I felt that i wasn't me anymore.
The theater, the movie, where did it go? Where am i, what am i? I hear her voice, she said "You are with me now, you are safe. Do not be afraid. Then the light took the form of Mo'at. and she said "We have been expecting you for some time". I am a bit confused and ask "Mo'at- is this you?" and the voice replies,"Yes she is here with me, if you desire i may choose a different avatar." I say "No, Mo'at is fine, where is this place?... Mo'at is your Avatar?!" "You are with me also, in my sphere, i am Eywa". I asked, "Can i be your Avatar?" "In time, YES. You have chosen already to become my avatar- but the time for this is not yet here".
I then was back watching the movie in time for the mercenaries to attack the Na'vi.I felt HORROR, DEEP GUT WRENCHING HORROR. I saw neyteri get angry with jake screaming "You will never be one of the people!" grace and Jake get tied up about to have their pony tails- THEIR CONNECTION TO EYWA and the Na'vi- about to be cut off. I tasted bile... Then i heard Mo'at tell me that "This isn't really happening, it's just a movie, but bear witness to the destruction your kind is capable of. As bad as this may seem, your species has inflicted far worse injury to it's own kind and your own world in the name of ignorance!"
I felt genuine pain as she said "If you are one of us, please... help us!" to Jake and Grace, then said to me "Teach your kind to know our way." in the same desperate pleading voice. The bombing started it was horrible, Na'vi men, women, and children- blown up, burned alive, crushed to death. without mercy- I almost puked. Their home destroyed, and their lives shattered ruins, all for what... som F ing rock?! The icing was when Neyteri said " Ma snatya" crying and he told her "omatacyaru, sivanu sawva skivay" and died just as Jake came. I felt bitter anger and pain as Neyteri said "GO AWAY,... GO AWAY AND NEVER COME BACK!" I openly cried as did nearly all the people in the theater. It was awful.
