Avatar...A Few Thoughts

 

Avatar-the movie

 

Regrettfully, we as a family watched the movie Avatar.

 

Avatar as a movie is eye candy...in other words it is visually stunning.  But…those who say there is nothing wrong with it... that it is just a movie, just entertainment, well I think they may be mistaken.

 

I looked up definitions of some the names and words and this is what I found(you can do your own search to verify the following info):

 

Avatar-the definition is: a manifestation of a deity or released soul in bodily form on earth; an incarnate divine teacher. (definition is from my MAC's dictionary)

 

In Hinduism, Hindus believe in an eternal force called Brahman, which has no form, and is thought of as “the One.”  This force is believed to be the source of all life and exists as three great beings:  Brahma the Creator, Vishnu the Preserver and Shiva the Destroyer.

Now stick with me here…Vishnu and Shiva are believed to descend to earth from time to time.  Taking human form they become deities called avatars… Vishnu once descended to earth as the avatar Krishna the blue god of love. 

In a 2007 interview with Time magazine, Cameron was asked about the meaning of the term avatar, to which he replied, "It's an incarnation of one of the Hindu gods taking a flesh form.(This info. is from Wikpedia, Avatar, 2009 movie)

 

The aliens and the avatars(the hybrid (human/alien) bodies prepared for humans to possess) are this same intense blue as seen in the avatars of Hinduism.  As well this color blue represents the first three degrees of Freemasonry(for men) and the order of the Eastern Star(for women).

The look of the Na'vi—the humanoids indigenous to Pandora—was inspired by a dream that Cameron's mother had, long before he started work on Avatar. In her dream, she saw a blue-skinned woman 12 feet (4 m) tall, which he thought was "kind of a cool image".  Also he said, "I just like blue. It's a good color ... plus, there's a connection to the Hindu deities,which I like conceptually."  He included similar creatures in his first screenplay (written in 1976 or 1977), which featured a planet with a native population of "gorgeous" tall blue aliens. The Na'vi were based on them.(Info. taken from Wikpedia-subject: Avatar-2009 movie) 

The aliens are also very tall…maybe 10 feet?  And of course the characters that take on the avatar forms are like a shadow of the giants or Nephilim who were fallen angel/human hybrids in Genesis 6.

 

I mention this because movies these days make the union of humans and aliens, vampires, elves and so on-no big deal.  But to God it is an abomination.

 

Pandora is the name of the alien’s world in the movie.

Pandora originates from Greek mythology.  One of the stories is that Pandora was the first woman created and Zeus sent her to earth with a box or jar of evils in revenge for Prometheus having brought fire to the world.  Pandora opened the box and let all the evils out upon the earth.  The evils once let out, could not be be put back into the box.

 

Aiwass is the name of the tree god of the aliens on Pandora.  Aleister Crowley was the Illuminati “High Priest”/Satanist whose writings for ‘The Book of the Law’ came from an entity(demon) named “Aiwass”.  Purely demonic in real life, but in the movie of course Aiwass is holy and beautiful and to be worshipped.

 

Several times in the movie the aliens would gather in front of Aiwass and sit, holding hands, and rock back and forth and chant as they wanted the soul/spirit of a human to cross over and go into the avatar body.  Watching this I knew I was witnessing witchcraft and they present it in such a way that it seems ‘good’.  Only the discerning will realize this is witchcraft dressed in its finest. 

The aliens were underdressed and there is even a love scene-no going off to the window thing either!  Is it supposed to be ok if it 'animated'?

 

The Avatar movie also paints a picture of capitalist Americans being very evil and that the aliens are beautiful and good.  One is made to feel and side with the aliens and despise the greedy humans.

 

Near the end of the movie, the hero avatar rides in on a big red dragon and saves the day.

 

There are many symbols in this movie that have occult/New Age roots, but are likely go undetected by those out to see a good flick.

 

James Cameron who produced this movie is said to be an atheist.  He has completed his York Rite degrees in Freemasonry and ascended to the Scottish Rite.

 

Freemasons believe Lucifer will come one day and take a bodily form-an avatar-the Anti-Christ and that he will enlighten the world and bring peace…

 

Some believe that this movie is pure propaganda, preparing the masses for the deception to come. 

 

I fail to see this movie as harmless entertainment.  What do you think?  I’d love your feedback.

 

Psalm 101:3  “I will set no worthless thing before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not fasten its grip on me.”

Jesus: Tales from the Crypt

Brace yourself. James Cameron, the man who brought you 'The Titanic' is back with another blockbuster. This time, the ship he's sinking is Christianity.

In a new documentary, Producer Cameron and his director, Simcha Jacobovici, make the starting claim that Jesus wasn't resurrected --the cornerstone of Christian faith-- and that his burial cave was discovered near Jerusalem. And, get this, Jesus sired a son with Mary Magdelene.

No, it's not a re-make of "The Da Vinci Codes'. It's supposed to be true.

Let's go back 27 years, when Israeli construction workers were gouging out the foundations for a new building in the industrial park in the Talpiyot, a Jerusalem suburb. of Jerusalem. The earth gave way, revealing a 2,000 year old cave with 10 stone caskets. Archologists were summoned, and the stone caskets carted away for examination. It took 20 years for experts to decipher the names on the ten tombs. They were: Jesua, son of Joseph, Mary, Mary, Mathew, Jofa and Judah, son of Jesua.
Israel's prominent archeologist Professor Amos Kloner didn't associate the crypt with the New Testament Jesus. His father, after all, was a humble carpenter who couldn't afford a luxury crypt for his family. And all were common Jewish names.

There was also this little inconvenience that a few miles away, in the old city of Jerusalem, Christians for centuries had been worshipping the empty tomb of Christ at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Christ's resurrection, after all, is the main foundation of the faith, proof that a boy born to a carpenter's wife in a manger is the Son of God.

But film-makers Cameron and Jacobovici claim to have amassed evidence through DNA tests, archeological evidence and Biblical studies, that the 10 coffins belong to Jesus and his family.

Ever the showman, (Why does this remind me of the impresario in another movie,"King Kong", whose hubris blinds him to the dangers of an angry and very large ape?) Cameron is holding a New York press conference on Monday at which he will reveal three coffins, supposedly those of Jesus of Nazareth, his mother Mary and Mary Magdalene. News about the film, which will be shown soon on Discovery Channel, Britain's Channel 4, Canada's Vision, and Israel's Channel 8, has been a hot blog topic in the Middle East (check out a personal favorite: Israelity Bites) Here in the Holy Land, Biblical Archeology is a dangerous profession. This 90-minute documentary is bound to outrage Christians and stir up a titanic debate between believers and skeptics. Stay tuned.
