This post: THE MOVIES AND THE MYTHS OF DESTRUCTION/CREATION

 

From some years ago – I also remember MATRIX back there- I have been noticing this recurring Apocalypse Myth underlying in several Hollywood movies. Cloud Atlas, AVATAR, HUNGER GAMES, NOA, DIVERGENT…

In Avatar, the 3 Paradigms you presented us are evident. Interesting motifs/keys are given in this tales of the NEW CONSCIOUSNESS, for example:

. In AVATAR, the human must join the “animal, instinctual Self” if I am allowed to play with these words -I am not an analyst and am Portuguese so I guess I have these excuses :) - as an integration of consciousness and matter, vital for the shift necessary to heal, to turn the situation whole again.

In HUNGER GAMES and DIVERGENT the heroines are women, the young feminine that has the task of healing the cultural/civilization split -from the swinging movement between polarities, to embracing the paradox (feminine yin wisdom).The moon as the stand point for the new eradigm, is also the feminine yin values as the bases for seeing the problems of our time –cooperation, value of Life above all, inclusiveness.

 

In DIVERGENT, the old system is rigid and compartmentalized; DIVERGENTS are “outsiders” that carry the seed or germ of new possibilities trough an holistic/unified way of being.

 

UNIVERSE: “VERSUS UNO” OR TOWARDS UNITY.

 

In all of them, the new pair WOMAN-MEN is activated by new winds of (r)evolution and we are offered visions of new possibilities on Earth. Hope the movies will continue to provide the collective with more and more images and Tales from the New World.

  • I wholeheartedly agree with what you say regarding "the moon as the standpoint for the new eradigm"...I have been thinking along those lines. I'm currently reading 'Artemis' by Jean Shinoda Bolen- it offers a hopeful look into people changing the patriarchal story through courageous and passionate activism (inspired/ empowered by Artemis archetypal energies). One of the 12 Olympians in the Greek pantheon and twin sister of Apollo, Artemis is described as a virgin moon goddess, goddess of the hunt, and protector of wild animals, wilderness, and childbirth....
