Life Gives you Lemons Get An Avatar

Published by admin under Pandemonium on January 23, 2010

Matthew took me to go see Avatar today in 3D (what a trooper! He can’t even see the 3D for some odd reason and yet he still took me). One word: AMAZING. There are so many reviews on this movie I don’t need to go there.

However this movie conjured up some deep thoughts in me mainly because I’m writing a sci-fantasy novel and this movie hits close to home, but also because it raises some serious questions and ideas in my mind.

The science in this movie is so well thought out it’s crazy. Essentially the planet Pandora (happens to be the name of my lil sis’s dog lol) is alive and is like one massive computer that all the people and nature tap into. I wish more people thought of God this way because essentially that’s how he works. But that’s a whole other tangent thought.

Anyways what I was thinking is  how wonderful that would be wouldn’t it if we could just transfer data i.e. our soul/mind into a new body? Your body is broke (this dude was paralyzed from the waste down) and you just switch over. Life gives you lemons go get an Avatar.  I can’t wrap my mind around that entirely though because this avatar is living and how do you create it to be empty and soulless. Wouldn’t you be encroaching on it’s soul while inside? In the movie one of the Avatar dies, but the human survives it. It was odd to me because just because the link between the two minds is there wouldn’t the soul have died in that body? I can see where it could go back….but still. Odd. If you did that and wanted to make it a permanent solution how comfortable would you be with just letting your old body die? I’m rather attached to mine I think I’d be a little sad.

Food for Thought. A Penny for yours?
