You make some really good points James! Thanks for stopping by. I think it's very important to try and discern the deeper messages behind stories, because there always will be for each individual at whatever stage they may be in in their own personal development (at least in my belief). It reminds me of a line spoken by one of the dwarves from the recent "Snow White & The Huntsman", "You have eyes huntsman, but you do not see. And you've been with the princess the longest." It's also like all the stories of children and how or why they are able to "see" things adults have forgotten due to conditioning or loss of purity and innocence.

There is hope though - by remaining open, yet discerning, and training the eye and mind to observe nature and its signs. When you are truly ready, Mother Nature will begin to reveal its secrets bit by bit...

Isn't it just an amazing feel? I think people are starting to pick up on the more subtler messages in movies, and aren't afraid to share it. I feel that's an incredible step in the right direction.

Thanks for your comment bulentok1. Fear is certainly there for a reason, but why NOT to master it? If there was no need to master anything, why have ambition, desire, or passion? Those, too, are there for a reason, are they not? If there was no need to master anything, why take up an education, why learn, why do anything?

In a way, fear is much like love - it can either debilitate you or empower you. Parents use a bit of fear to discipline their children, and religion also adopts similar practices - for if we are all God's children, then a little bit of fear inserts discipline (nothing wrong with that). But what makes the previous statement out-of-whack is when fear is used to abuse, control or manipulate (not by God, but by those who proclaim to be speaking for God). There must be balance in all things. Our Creator is certainly all-knowing, but even if He sometimes cannot predict the free-willed choices of His children.

A lot of lessons come in trying to master a thing, for if there is no struggle or adversity, what use is experience? Have wise men of the past not said, "Experience is the greatest teacher?"

Also, if one does not learn to master fear, then they show absolutely no Self-discipline - and that's my point. I'm not saying mastering of fear equals the absence of it - I'm trying to say that the will to master fear must include the courage to overcome it. If your child was being tortured or raped by a stranger, what would you do? Would you let fear of your own life being harmed in the same manner take hold of you, or let your courage to do what is right, and/or protect those you love, take over? Your mastery of fear will determine which path you decide to take in such a situation, and this is what I mean when I say "master your fears," because each of our fears are different.

Just remember, there is no right or wrong in this - merely opinions based on my own experiences.

Hi Christian! Thanks so much for the reply :) I apologize for the somewhat late response (I'll have to check my email settings for comment notifications!).

I definitely feel you on the low energy sometimes. If there's anything I've learned about balance, it's that the opposing ends are there so that we can truly understand them on their own (for what is happiness without knowing sadness?) and together. The human race may be unique in that sense because we experience duality and relativity but, in my opinion, both are still necessary "illusions." It's when we start to see everything as separate, do we lose the ability to find 'oneness' or 'togetherness.' When I'm down, I usually remember to keep the faith and know that life has its ups and downs, ebbs and flows, like the tides of the ocean. As people who are Self-aware, we must always discern these feelings and know when to take be patient, and when to take action.

Finding your own way of getting out of that slump was awesome - glad you could use the music to regain that energy!

Thanks again for your comments and hope you enjoy future entries :)

Ursula - so great to hear from you! It has certainly been a while :) that conversation we had on TimberwolfHQ was certainly a penetrating one. I think I'll always remember it (in a good way). Thank you for taking the time to leave a message, and I sure hope you stop by more often (and be sure to join our Facebook page ;))!
