I don't know that I've ever been so entirely inside a movie while watching it, and though there have been other movies that have moved me deeply, I can't recall another movie that has ever taken me inside its world in such a way that I felt it undesirable to leave that world when the movie ended.  I felt at home on Pandora, and like characters in the movie, I felt a longing to stay.

It's been weeks since seeing it now and what I realize is that Pandora is not a distant planet.  Instead, she is inside me.  Everything that felt right and true to me about Pandora lives and breathes within me, in much the same way that the essence of Aloha lives and breathes within me.  Living on Kauai stoked the flame, but the spark of Aloha was there all the time.

It's all inside.

This is comforting somehow.  To know and feel that something I see as outside myself…another physical location…is actually just a beautiful representation of those qualities that are alive and well within me.

Perhaps the very reason they appeal to me in the outer 3-D experience is specifically because they already exist within me, therefore my resonance barometer goes off and my recognition of alignment heightens my experience.

Of course that's what it is.  That's how it works, doesn't it?  Everything I am is within me. And thus, everything that is attracted to me is a result of what is at play within me.

I love how examples like this carry the theory home with great ambition.

The more aware I am of my Brilliance, my true nature self…the more consciously and purposefully I draw that which is a perfect match into my reality.

The more I increase my awareness of this, the more that I choose to responsibly and deliberately create my world.

The more I focus on aspects of my reality that I cherish, appreciate, love and adore…the more those aspects become a part of my expanded reality.

This is why sometimes people ask me if I'm living on a different planet!!  Hah! (Apparently they see my reality as quite different than the one they're living and wonder just where I reside.)

Life on Pandora

Maybe I am living on another planet, in essence.  In this case, we'll see it as Pandora.  (Forgive my references to the movie if you haven't yet seen it…and if you haven't…what are you waiting for?)

There is so much about the way of life on Pandora that is a match to my very own.  Maybe not the extremely tall, sleek body…maybe not the blue skin…maybe not the remarkable agility and grace with which they move about.  No, maybe not so much those things…but that's just what's on the outside, isn't it?

It's what's on the inside that I'm referring to.  It's what is inside the words, "I see you" that are spoken several times with great meaning throughout the movie.

My resonance with the Na'vi, the people of Pandora is in what I see inside them.  I see a people who know in every fiber, every cell of their being-ness that they are all connected in this great web of life. They see the connection.  They feel it.

The Na'vi have a deep-rooted awareness of their reverence and appreciation for all life.  They see the heart and soul of their fellow sentient ones, all.  Plants, trees, sky, soil, two and four leggeds, winged and every other mix there is on Pandora.  They see the Divine Essence alive and breathing in all…and by recognizing that essence, they know the truth.

The way of life on Pandora has much to share with us.  The Na'vi clan can guide us to the promised land that lives within each one of us.

That part of me that is Na'vi is alive and well.  She looks out at the world and sees hope, promise and life eternal.  She looks out at each living creature and sees the heart that connects us all.  She looks at you and smiles in recognition, "I See You", she says.

And in those moments, absolutely everything is right with the world.  And that moment can be every moment.  It's my choice.  It's our choice.

Through the Eyes of the Na'Vi

• Can you feel it?
• Can you feel the heartbeat of our planet pulsing through you?
• Can you see the heart and soul of those around you?
• Do things look different through the eyes of the Na'vi?

• What if we chose collectively to see through these eyes?
• What if we made a plan, as a planet to see through these eyes…and we all agreed to do this on the same day at the exact same time, forever more?

What a tremendous transformation that would be!

From this day forward, I am committed to living the truth of the Na'vi within me.  I am committed to seeing with the eyes of my heart and soul.  I am committed to honoring what my heart-soul eyes see.  I am committed to honoring my Divine Self…my Brilliance…the Light that is alive and well within me.

Will you join me?  Let me hear you proclaim it!
