Feel like I've lived before?

[_Omaticaya_]

Nice thread. I know this feeling. This feeling to be at the wrong place or even planet. I had this thinking long before I ever watched Avatar. Before I watched fantasy or science-fiction movies my two favorite genres. It's taking a place among my first memories.
I looked up into the sky for minutes be lost in different fantasies during my classmates are exchanging glittering stickers. They came and offered me that I should take an active part in this activity. I refused this with the feeling I don't want to be a part of that strange so-called society.
It's said you can't miss what you don't know, I can't fully agree with this statement. Maybe it's some kind of unsatisfied emotion breaks through. (little sarcastic) It's no wonder in a society of consuming elbow careerists where it's regarded as a success to get a heart attack after a 16 hour workday in the age of 35. A society which could carry a banner with the label "shortage by more".

(breathe deeply) By the way I'm forced to watch Avatar now, see you later.

*Oel Ngati Kameie*, Oneness with Nature, and especially, Oneness with yourself, recognizing higher meanings and the power and joy, if not our only refuge Indeed, of Love, Fantasy, Dreams and Imagination, never falling into the ordinary life-less society of these days. We may be part of it, but only because of a forced necessity to earn scraps of paper...

In some situations, I believe you can't miss what you never experienced, such as when I think about living in the Middle Ages, I'd have been the same, at ease with what I had back then, which would not be 'back then' if I we're living in that age.
But I agree you know, some things are just, "Metaphysical" regardless of origins, era, time, I think mostly Nature offers that privilege to get Lost and yet Heavenly Found into it as a welcomed Living entity...

Farewell Sir.

I See You...Just what a post. You can't miss what you don't know...You've nailed it. There's a deeper emotion that breaks through some of us. Btw, I love the sig...it's very eye-catching!

Oel Ngati Kameie _Omaticaya_. Irayo, for your encouraging words.
You said it. What's a human without fantasy and creative energy? Unable to think independent after long years of obedience, scared to use his own mind because he's fearing the consequences? A human who's unable to be an individual? He's already dead, but the meat-bag containing a shattered spirit needs only a few years more to fall down. Yes it's frustrating to see so many people hunting printed paper and we all are a part of that rat-race. But we have the duty to keep eyes and mind open and never forget what could be.

Irayo Mother of the Forest. It's Nice that you like my sig.
In such a society we have to hide most of our emotions because we have to control them. Don't show "weakness". I could imagine there are some needs and feelings deeply buried inside of us, a seed which wants to grow, and we don't know it. What could it be this upcoming feeling?
Perhaps it's the silent premonition from that what could be, if mankind will use their potential after kindling the inner flame of creativity.
All this awful deeds. But at last hope is our finest gift shows up after all madness flow out of Pandora's Box.

I would like to share something I think is at least intresting, In my thoughts it ties in to the "fealing" spoken of here people are saying they don't think it was Avatar that woke up this understanding but for some it sure made them more strongly aware of it, in my eyes I honestly have to wonder with Avatars Connective refrences to the importance and our connection to our past Ancestors and if you take Eywa and Cross or Bridge what she represents you end up with a very close real earth example in How the Kogi people see our world and there refrence to Aluna: which they call the mind inside nature , take a look at how they define Aluna "it is said "Pure Thought, "Memory" ,Spirit,Mind ,Soul,Imagination "The entity out of which all things are born, in which everything is contained, In Aluna there is "memory" of the Past and potential for the future. Aluna forms the "Bridge" betwean the "universe" and the human spirit (and in all likelyhood the spirits of all living things (including plants) Avatar was built from the ground up to call light on this connection and for some let them experence it first hand. when I read this and heard what was being spoken on here I thought I should share it it comes from a russian source but the more I look the more I see people all around the world talking about this "feeling" to others seeing Avatar, and it leads me to honestly wonder. please form your own opinion Avatar Is About Our Broken Wholes - English pravda.ru

There is also a video that looks at this from A diffent angle speaking on what its creator calls "Ancient DNA" a very science minded way of wording "Ancestors" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_jcLoymb1c Avatar is not just about Native Americans its well known Cameron intended a worldly view of all native peoples and there world view as opposed to ours.

I would also like to add a fan created video I feel the video creator chose of song and artistic content from Avatar Mirror this topic the use of the lyrics "My world is wrong, My world is a lie thats come true" "Avatar sing it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GivCapZuB6c

If people are intrested in why Avatar calls light on these subjects there is another thread here that touches on this I want to mantain focus in this thread and its a diffrent subject
so I include a link it speaks of how our inner connection touches on our past sublime "memorys" tribal people speak of the importance of "Ancestors" but I think we are tied sublimely to this in a far
deeper manor then we realise , I must be careful to let people form there own opinions on this as its a spiritual understanding issue and everyone has there own "grasp" as to whats behind it.
http://www.avatar-forums.com/na-vi-c...y-war-18578/3/ (while the topic of the thread is holy war I am pointing out a real world example on how the Kogi people "see" and understand our world from there world viewpoint), Its my opinion that in reality we are at war with "ourselves" at an inner level we as a people are questioning what we are now "Seeing"and often feel hopeless to do anything, our feelings of not belonging are becuse of what we "see" and have chosen distance ourselves from this mess (of course I may be wrong its just my viewpoint), Avatar asks us to make a move from our intellect to our heart and "seeing" from that "viewpoint" may indead be "key" to saving our humanity as it forces us to question "ourselves" this is painful at times
I went through this all my life, its very easy to get caught up in feelings of Hopelessness this is "exactly" what the "system" wants you to do as this "seperates" you from the rest of sociaty, Don"t fall for it,fight back with wisdom and point out to others the root causes behind the issues tearing our family communitys and humanity apart from the inside out driving a culture of fear and fundemantal mistrust. good example here " http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc_60zune00 "

Wow...Thank you for the wonderful post, allrock123! This is just incredible. It seems to connect everything we've been touching.

Thank you for this enlightened post, especially the two links. I'm emotionally touched after reading this highly interesting article and by the way I didn't count the amount of dropping tears.
My first thought after reading this was "Divide et impera!" "Divide and conquer!" That's the kind of modern so-called societies. It seems to be a jail for our true being.
Yesterday I bought some food in a supermarket. I didn't like that, but I have to do it. Mainly the way home was charged with bad feelings. I went on asphalt, cement and quadratic cobblestones, I saw trunks of felled trees. I didn't hear the whispering of the wind or the voices of birds but the continuous noise of uncountable cars. As I walked past some whithered roses I smelled the stench of exhaust emissions. The sky was half covered from roofs traversed by contrails. I was really glad to be at home. Sometimes I could scream and cry in one moment.

Puh, it's already depressing to read my own post. Time to sign off and to draw some Avatar pictures.
