   Dear Mike,
   Thank you for your recording on Avatar. This film made a great impact on me and I can add to your words that as we allow ourselves to be closer to Spirit we understand Creation much better, we are able to love freely with our heart and, very important, Life has another meaning. Avatar will make (and is making) a tremendous impression on millions of people. We are One. Hugs and blessings.
   Martha

   I have seen Avatar, six times! six times I have gone back to see this movies, am I insane? or is just the 3D and mind blowing CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) tying a knot in my heart and brain. It floats in my mind like a glimpse of paradise lost, beckoning me to find it. I see magic in this simple well trodden tail where the Navi have a simplistic undivided spirituality that leaves them totally united with their surroundings and the various animals of their world including themselves. This coupled with the outstanding realism pulls on my heart strings with a longing that I know cannot be equaled in my real world, but wait lets engage some imagination, dream a little or a lot and see what might be, if only. Imagine “The Oneness of Mankind” a united humanity, free from the ravages of war, “The Elimination of Prejudice of All Kinds” and “The Equality of Women and Men”. Imagine “The Essential Harmony of Science and Religion” where the application of science would be for the benefit of mankind and his environment. Imagine the earth filled with hearts and souls linked and united in the glory of “The Oneness of Mankind”, “The Oneness of Religion” and its effect on the earth our mother. Knowledge arts and sciences taught to all “Universal Compulsory Education”, is this our Pandora, a real tangible vision of what could be. Well according to Baha’ullah its our destiny, waiting for us to just mirror forth spiritual attributes to reflect our noble promised future, just waiting for us to cast aside the veils that have hindered and stopped such a noble cause from fruition. So maybe Avatar plucks my heart strings as a fantasy based on a deep down longing that every person has imprinted on the very fabric of their being, One Country, One World, One Race, but wait its just a movie and dreams are for fools? it could never happen, we don’t have a living neural network like Pandora, this may be true, but think maybe not a natural built system, but a man made system. Consider since the invention of Morse Code in 1844 in just over 160 years the mind boggles as the World Wide Web streams out like roots to all parts and places of our globe, and each single individual can connect millions, billions of others at near the speed of light. So is this a fools dream? or from a prison in ‘Akka did Baha’ullah call out to our hearts to fulfill our destiny and James Cameron’s Avatar just by chance happened upon a hidden dream deep down in soul of each and everyone of us just waiting to be released from the prison of our hearts and minds. As you can tell I am a Baha’i, but I don’t know how else we could reach Pandora on planet earth.
