Ways To Cope With The Depression Of The Dream Of Pandora Being Intangible.

[Niri Te]

To each their own I guess, I just have no idea how fully grown people could be into that. I would tire of it real quick by the time that I was five.

It's one of those "We're all unique and deep because we can find meaning in a children's cartoon! thing.
But hey, whatever floats your boat.

I am guessing some strong connection to Childhood bonds and memorys that probbly goes deeper then the source material, a connection to child like inocence and happyness convayed a way to excape adult reality.
When a person comes of age one usuly cuts that cord , but some choose to rebel and not do so , of one looks at reincarnete lamas in Tibeten Buddhist practice ,they often find meaning
in playing with childs toys etc even when 80 years old, they mantain there childlike view on our world, the big diffrence is there culture excepts and sees value in there doing so as part of there worldly viewpoint.
As Usual I will probbly get the over analytical label for saying this.

my browsers are all jacked right now and I don't have a lot of time before we gotta wipe/reinstall or attempt to dig out all the fun virii and what not. anyway. someone may have suggested this already and im sure at least SOME of you may know about the furry fandom, otherkin. me? im a dead-serious dragon otherkin. if you think that stuff like this movie can't be real, and yet you want it to be, I would seriously suggest reading into newage and metaphysical topics, such as astral travel, lucid dream control, alternate universes/parallel earths, the fact that a lot of "fantasy" writers and producers are "schizophrenic" and are actually attempting (or doing!) to relay their own realities to other people on-screen, but they have to sign a waiver ("sell their souls to satan") in order to produce their movies or books as being "fantasy" and that "anything in these movies that co-incides with anyone in day-to-day reality is nothing more than a coincidence. in otherwords, read between the lines here. watch the matrix trilogy. read some david icke. study conspiracy theories. open your mind to the possibility that anything we imagine or want to imagine gets created SOMEWHERE out there because our IMAGE-IN-nations is creating it (read "the secret" by rhonda byrne and all that) and at the same time we are creating IT, IT is creating US. in otherwords, maybe some of this stuff is real and we can HAVE OUR DREAMS but BIG BROTHER REPTILE THOUGHT POLICE don't want us to even BEGIN to believe this, because they want to keep the herd of sheep in a straight line. ok? is this making any sense??? go watch "what dreams may come" with robin williams in it and LEARN THE RULES. watch this movie side-by-side with the matrix movies ("your mind makes it real") ("everyone falls the first time") ("free your mind!). dream your dreams. the only way you are going to find your way into magical secrets of creation is to do step number 1. BELIEVE THAT IT CAN BE POSSIBLE. step # 2.start believing that it is. step #3. knowing that it is, and start allowing your mind to create these possibilities, get off of uncle-sams reptilian pharmecutical "medication" bull**** and start loving and living your dreams!!!! palulukanmaktoforever, signing off. many will get the message!!!! sorry that they took you out robin williams, may your dreams indeed what come.

Good point. I like that. Our galaxy contains millions, maybe billions of earth-like planets, some capable of supporting life, and there is a very good chance that a lot of them are. I'm pretty sure we will find a Pandora someday.

Even though we have not confirmed life like us anywhere else in the universe it most certainly is exists. I got over my AVATAR depression pretty quickly after realizing the immensity of the universe. Plausible theories exist that suggest our universe is one of many. This not only increases the chances of life elsewhere, but it also increases the chances of Pandora like worlds with Na'vi like creatures. There are some theories based in the same thought that suggest our fictional characters might actually be real in some other universe. If universes are as abundant as atoms then there's an incalculable probability that Pandora and all the fictional inhabitants actually exist.

'fictional' is a relative term, and that word is quite often used when we humans are at a loss to explain the unfathomable reaches of interstellar space. at the end of the vast reaches of the cosmos that are we able to see with our instruments, there is simply more galaxies, more constellations, more star clusters, more black holes, more more more...there simply is no end to space. *just blew a mental fuse*

Indeed and I also keep in mind the fact that there are many things that were once considered fictional that are real now. To me 'fiction' simply means something that isn't real... Yet.

There's a corrollary to that, though: the distances are such that if we should encounter alien life, either it or we will be so phenonomally advanced that it will make our current civilization look like neolithic cavemen in comparison.

It's kind of amazing how long ago this thread started, originally on Avatar-Forums...

The sense of belonging, of having found a new family, that I felt when first coming across it in January 2010 was unlike anything else I have ever felt - and after all these years I'm still eternally grateful that I stumbled across this very conversation. Though the deep feeling of loneliness was replaced, first by the Avatar community and later by my wonderful wife, I will never forget where it all began.

With friends like you all around, one can only feel good and comfortable

 

[willieandersen]

I get depressed about whether I can afford my next meal or not. Well, partially figuratively. It puts the thing in perspective, I guess.

i love the sentiment of friends and family, because that is what matters most. Happy Holidays!

re:funny story

It's not accident where I live. I'm here on purpose. That is another benefit of getting the heck out of the city. It's quiet and I can see a lot of stars.

Kind of off topic, but here is a kind of funny story. Back in January 1994 there was a moderate earthquake known as the Northridge quake in the Los Angleles area. It struck at about 4 am. It was large enough that the power went out over large areas of the city. Many 911 calls were placed concerning lights in the sky. They were the stars.

oh ! really nice thanks ! for sharing

So I have this depression too. That's why I registered up to this forum. And I think it helped a lot. Reading the threads, getting to know nice people who have the same interest. This cures my depression. I can't thank you enough for having this opportunity.

"Thats exactly it "Yea..I'm home", everything feels so alien to me now, like I was playing with my little brother (hes not little but he's always gonna be my little brother), and we were playing the new Super Mario wii game, and I felt kinda bad because as much as I tried to enjoy it, it just didn't feel right, I didn't want to be there playing with him, I wanted to be out there, on Pandora, where I feel I belong"
