Now just what is this profound lesson, and how could it be that the vast majority of Earth dwellers have forgotten who it is that we truly are, and thus have become thrououghly disempowered and consciously dwell in a chaotic never-never land? This is an essential and primary truth for us at this point--not only that we continue our existence perpetual beings of Light, but at this time our Spirit is encased in what we refer to as a human body. And as such, we must not only attend to the nurturing and developing of our spiritual beingness, but we must also attend to the physical, mental, and emotional energies of the human elements of our beingness to truly attain health and wellness while residing on Mother Earth.
But these days we are taught crazed, egomaniacal, greedy, possessive, and self-seeking notions about how we should live our lives. Our Spirit essence, nor even the requirements for sustaining the health and wellness of our physical bodies, rarely enter into our conscious awareness, where all of these elements should be from and center. Instead, most of us now live with a consciousness driven by the most elemental remnants of our monkey brains, with very contorted notions of what truly matters in life or which afford us with much of anything in the potential of our self-expression and optimal quality of loves.
The latter is achieved through the merging of the Spirit-based energies of our beingness into these spectacular and miraculous devices. And this is clearly how we are born even unto this day, each of us with a spirit-centered consciousness, the energies of which blossom and explode from any infant--we can see it in their eyes, we can sense it in their expression, we can feel it flowing from their beingness when we touch and hold them.
Unfortunately, it appears to have become our societies primary child-rearing function to cause our children to unlearn the energies and the qualities thereof we are all born with, and in its place we teach them these truly bizarre concepts of what it is our children should seek in life and what it is they should strive for. In fact what we teach, and the seem being what our society reinforces, are extremely warped and downright crazed notions of that life is truly about, about their infinite potential inherent in the free choice that Spirit grants us, and how each and every one of us are capable of creating the most spectacular reality we can possibly envision with our lives, and even more so. And that in so doing we live the most perfect, optimal quality of lives in total health and wellness at all times, and that in so doing we will also be gifting the world with the greatest gifts we have to offer it.
So as I was saying, the message of the film, is in revealing the essential experience we all must now process our lives through so as to restore our unity with our spiritual beingness, and from that reunification, that relearning process, to unveil the infinite hope and possibility that lie within us when we first set foot upon this Earth. And this process of unlearning, as the film so elegantly portrays, is only made possible by a powerful surrender; oftentimes surrender upon surrender until the beast within is fully released--which is a letting go of the egotistical attachments we have made that have completely distorted our world view and the infinite and perfect ways that way can experience and create ever more beauty in our world.
Yet as the film portrays, this process of surrender, of effecting a full and complete release of all that it is we are led to believe is of significance than stems from an ego-based existence, or ego-centered consciousness, can present as the greatest challenge of our lives in breaking through this deeply engrained mind/body mode of beingness. For one must bring forth every ounce of energy within their entire beingness to literally break down the walls that so severely restrict us from becoming who we were meant to be. For over time, these walls typically grow so thick and heavy, securing themselves in seemingly impenetrable ways through endless strings of tentacles that have grown deeply into every fiber of our beingness.
However, nothing in life comes close to the miraculous new world that awaits us when we arise to the level of courage it takes to effect this release. And it is only achieved through an unwavering focus, coupled with relentless energy, oftentimes seeming t require more energy than we have to give, that can effectively cause these chains that bind us to shatter, and this to be truly set free to be and become all that our heart's desire, and all that the world so longs to receive from us to release it from its suffering, and/r otherwise facilitate its healing processes.

"Suddenly, my mind was exploding with ideas. I could hardly keep up with them. In jubilant minutes whole portions of the novel emerged fully formed: the lifeboat, the animals, the intermingling of the religious and the zoological, the parallel stories. Where did that moment of inspiration come from? Why did I think that religion and zoology would make a good mix? ...I could give approximate answers. That India, where there are so many animals and religions, lent itself to such a story. That tensions simmering just below my level of consciousness were probably feverishly pushing me to come up with a story. But in truth I don't know. It just happened."
"It just happened...." the rendering of raw life into something far more profound, something universal, a tale known by heart by an unfortunate number of souls who have experienced a "shipwreck"; and, a morality tale, one that can transcend the obvious carnal horror and touch upon that which is beyond our experience, that in which our experience has its being, and its purpose.
What is a shipwreck? One is journeying toward something, with hope, and the vicissitudes of life foul the journey. When the "ship" goes down, everything is lost. One is left in a hostile world surrounded by the unknown and the horizon disappears twice a day, dawn and dusk, into itself. There are no markers, there are no maps.
A tragedy for which there are no words, a loss so deep that it rivals the power of nature, an ocean of loss. I know this by heart. I, too, now live with a very large and very dangerous animal. This is a fight for survival, it is no game, it is no fairy tale. I feed the beast as best I can and try to avoid it. Ultimately, I must learn about it and it must - in some way - co-exist with me. Together, uncomfortable companions, we seek safe harbor. Safe harbor is far from safe, it is self-consuming. The only safety is in not looking for it; the only path is back into the journey, the beast and I, toward life. Can we find it, can we survive? I will not be consumed by the beast, but neither can I consume it. We are together now, whatever the future.
Shall I tell my story in its brutal reality, tearing into the consciousness and sensitivities of those who hear it? I learn that this is not a prudent choice. And so I tell it in this way, as I have said, the beast and I. Everyone fears the beast, do they not? Yet, not everyone travels with one, and so the story can be safely told.
There is magic and even beauty in even the worst horror. Nothing is without purpose; this is part of the lesson.
You cannot tame the beast. There must be a partnership, a reluctant partnership. You may find comfort in the oddest of places and when least expected but, ultimately, you must continue the journey. Or die trying.
"Even when God seemed to have abandoned me, He was watching. Even when He seemed indifferent to my suffering, He was watching. And when I was beyond all hope of saving, He gave me rest, and gave me a sign to continue my journey."
Evil and horror are real, but they are encapsulated, they are quarantined from the essential element of soul. The beast can enter our lives; we can succumb to the horror and be eaten alive, by our own lack of hope and loss of faith. Or we can arrive at a place where we, and our beast, co-exist. I am not yet at the place where my beast leaves me. Perhaps I never will be. There is something in us that wants to hold onto the beast. And we are left with two stories: the horror or the hope.
"Can I ask you something?"
"Of course."
"I've told you two stories about what happened out on the ocean. Neither explains what caused the sinking of the ship and no one can prove which story is true and which is not. In both stories, the ship sinks, my family dies, and I survive."
"True."
"So which story do you prefer?"
"The one with the tiger, that's the better story."
"Thank you. And so it goes with God."
Go in peace.
Top 5 if that tells you nothing then let me say it this way. DONT MISS THIS MOVIE, YOU WILL WATCH IT AGAIN, AND AGAIN. I DO.

Of all the aesthetically pleasing movies I have seen Life of Pi (2012) has to be up there with the best. I watched this on a Blu-ray and from the opening moments I felt as if I were almost watching it in 3D. The colours are exquisite, the characters seem to stand out from the screen, and the attention to detail was amazing; for example, at the beginning during the opening credits, we see a monkey swinging in a tree and then a letter from one of the names onscreen drops and swings. It goes without saying that the CGIs and special effects were outstanding. Truly, although my Blu-ray collection is not yet extensive, Life of Pi makes the others seem to be far from High Definition.
I began watching Life of Pi (2012) with not the slightest idea of what the film would be about other than a youth and a tiger being adrift at sea. I have not, as yet, read the book by Yann Martel. Some reviewers have written spoilers for this movie, revealing the conclusion of the movie. No spoilers here. Watch and be surprised by adult Pi's revelations, as I was.
If you buy the Blu-ray (or DVD) be sure to watch the extras about how the movie, which took 4 years to make and cost approx. $120 million, was made. Fascinating stuff. A real tiger called King was involved in the making of this movie and the real tiger is cleverly used in the movie together with a computer generated tiger. It's not easy to tell which is which and the director, Ang Lee, was fooled when shown CGI images of the tiger before the film was finalised. In the extra footage, we see close up photographs of the face of King and the CGI (computer generated image) side by side and the latter is incredibly realistic. The CGI tiger was slightly larger and, to me, looked a bit more friendly! The extras are very informative about the making of the film, of finding the young actor, Suraj, who had never acted before. I strongly recommend watching the movie first though because once you discover how it was all made then the movie might lose some of its magic for you. This is an interesting webpage that you might find interesting about the making of the movie but, again, I wouldn't want to see it before I'd seen the movie: fxguide.com/featured/life-of-pi/
Something that very much interested me was that Ang Lee and the Life of Pi movie team utilised the knowledge and experience of Steven Callahan, who was adrift at sea on a raft for 76 days after his sloop capsized, and bore hunger and heat while being attacked by sharks and being overlooked by passing ships. Adrift: Seventy-Six Days Lost at Sea, available at Amazon. Another thing that caught my attention and let me know Pi had arrived in the Caribbean was the flying fish. They are the national dish of Barbados. A wonderful moment, when the fish had 'flown' by with a predator swimming behind them, was that Pi was covered in fish scales.
While the movie is rated PG, I think some of the scenes are quite harrowing and really are not suitable for children, especially younger ones.
