Avatar - Five Spiritual Messages -
17 Feb 2010 at 12:34pm
The script writers for the movie, Avatar, directed by James Cameron, embedded several powerful spiritual messages in every aspect of the story. As I watched the story unfold to the end, I was delighted to identify five spiritual messages.

The Avatar Jake Tree Logo Glow Adult Black T-shirt Tee
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: Just the thing to complete (and spread) your Avatar experience!
Practical things first: it's a solid, well-made, and well-printed shirt.
The picture is lovely - appearing on either side of a glowing apparition of the Home Tree, a pair of golden Na'vi eyes. Very evocative!
And a secret, extra fun part that the advert never mentioned - the picture glows in the dark!
Thoroughly recommended.
The Avatar Home Tree Hand Adult Black T-shirt Tee
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: Just the thing to complete (and spread) your Avatar experience!
Practical things first: it's a solid, well-made, and well-printed shirt.
The picture is lovely - against the background of the glowing Home Tree, a Na'vi hand (three fingers) glows blue. Very evocative!
And a secret, extra fun part that the advert never mentioned - the picture glows in the dark!
Thoroughly recommended.
The Avatar Navi Jake Flying Adult Black T-shirt Tee
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: Just the thing to complete (and spread) your Avatar experience!
Practical things first: it's a solid, well-made, and well-printed shirt.
And now the fun part: it's a great picture of that euphoric scene where Jake has just bonded with his dragon, and is having his first flight with Neytiri - full of joy!
And a secret, extra fun part that the advert never mentioned - the picture glows in the dark!
Thoroughly recommended.

Avatar By Coty For Men. Cologne Spray 1.0 Oz
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: No this cologne may not be the most expensive cologne in the world, but Avatar will always be in my husband's collection. I love this smell and prefer it over many expensive colognes. Avatar is subtle, yet strong enough to catch hints of it all night. This is my favorite cologne for men. Perfect for any man!
The Art of Avatar: James Cameron's Epic Adventure
by Lisa Fitzpatrick
Amazon Price: $19.77
Customer Review: I bought the book for a friend who loved the movie but I had also loved it (I saw it three times). I took a peek at it before I gave it to her and I couldn't put it down. It was like watching the movie all over again! The pictures are magical. It even has stories about how the creators got their ideas for the characters and the animals. It's an art book and it has information about making the movie. I highly recommend owning this beautiful book. Jane
Avatar: A Confidential Report on the Biological and Social History of Pandora...
by Maria Wilhelm, Dirk Mathison
Amazon Price: $12.23
Customer Review: Lots of interesting information on the flora and fauna of Pandora, as well as personal notes from Grace about the exploitation of the planet. Also includes a dictionary of the Na'Vi language.
Gravel: Never A Dull Day (Signed Limited Edition)
by Warren Ellis, Mike Wolfer
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: This is a well made hard back, sweetly signed by the author and artist. Readers should understand this work is in grey tones - but it's still an engaging read. Ellis' Gravel gets better as the story continues. Part of the series' originality involves the boundary pushing violence and sexual content, and some readers will no doubt be turned off by this. Others will appreciate an interesting character in Gravel the combat magician, and the dark, strange world he finds himself navigating.
Magnetic Rags: Ragtime for Brass
Amazon Price: $14.99
Customer Review: I've collected ragtime recordings for some time, and I'm always delighted to find "non-traditional" arrangements of my favorite classic piano rags. Usually, I'm amused by the novelty of hearing these rags orchestrated for instruments other than the piano, but after a few plays, the novelty frequently wears off and I'm back to my piano recordings. Not so here! This is a magnificent recording by a top-notch group in the style of the Canadian Brass. The arrangements are fresh and exciting, they bre...

Trumpet in our Time
Amazon Price: $18.98
Customer Review: This is hands down one of the best trumpet recital CD's out there. Mr. Mase's playing is outstanding. He has a beautiful sound and amazing articulation. What really makes this CD outstanding his Mr. Mase's overriding musicianship. I especially liked the opening piece "The Avatar" the first mvt. Features Mr. Mase on piccolo trumpet, and the second and third continue on with flugel horn and trumpet, respectively. The piece is very interesting with lots of contrast and melody. I especially like the...
The Twilight Saga: New Moon (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Amazon Price: $20.49
Customer Review: JUST WANTED TO LEAVE A NOTE TO SOME WHO MAY BE CONFUSED. AMAZON SELLS THE 2 DISC DVD. TO GET THE 3 DISC DVD YOU NEED TO BUY IT FROM TARGET. I DIDN'T KNOW THIS WHEN I ORGINALLY ORDERED IT FROM AMAZON AND HAD TO CANCEL MY ORDER. THE 2 DISC DOESN'T INCLUDE THE DELETED SCENES WHICH I LOVE!!! SO JUST A NOTE FOR THOSE WHO WERE CONFUSED LIKE ME. CAN'T WAIT FOR MARCH 20TH.

Kindle Wireless Reading Device (6" Display, Global Wireless, Latest Generation)
Amazon Price: $259.00
Customer Review: I really love my Kindle -- it is my favorite toy. I'm a voracious reader and enjoy reading all sorts of books from mysteries to biography, action-adventure, history, and current events. While I love getting books from my public library, they don't always have what I want and I hate being without something good to read when traveling or when snowed in at home. Being able to download a new purchase (even slowly due to our rural location) is a real luxury.
The Kindle is easy to use a...

Pros

Nice extras like the hd cable, extra lamp
The build in speaker will work if u do not have a sound system
Cons
The picture is not as crisp as I would have wanted, but I guess that I got spoiled with my LCD tv.
The picture is also a little dark and if u adjust the brightness the light became to light and the shadows stay to dark. ...

Avatar Na'vi Neytiri Action Figure
Amazon Price: $11.99
Customer Review: I adore these little Na'vi action figures and own a bunch of them, but Neytiri is unfortunately my least favorite. Either I received a deformed unit, or Mattel decided to put all of their efforts into the other figures and put Neytiri together as an afterthought.
Her arms are bizarrely bulbous, as is her head. In fact, the piece that forms her hair doesn't properly match up with her face. One of her feet is twisted inward, which makes it nigh impossible to stand her up, and though s...
Avatar Na'vi Leonopteryx Collectible Figure
Amazon Price: $26.97
Customer Review: This is a stunning creature. The colors are true and clear. You get the feel of just how terrifying it would be to have this huge animal chasing you and how terrifying it would be to encounter one when flying your own "banshee".

Customer Review: While searching for the 'old-style' 3D glasses, I came upon this new(to me) type of 3D glasses--POLARIZED 3D . I UNDERSTAND THAT CERTAIN MOVIES OR TVS REQUIRE THIS TYPE OF 3D GLASSES. I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE MOVIE AVATAR TO BE RELEASED ON DVD TO TRY THESE OUT.

Garota Moderna
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: I discovered Rosalia de Souza after first hearing Bebel Gilberto. Although Gilberto is amazing, de Souza is a cut above. I absolutely love her. She is a constant in my rotation. This is her first album and is rightfully her best. Her voice is sweet, soulful, and epitomizes true bossa nova/samba with a spark. The music revolves around consistent drum beats and other catchy percussion rhythms. Her voice play is smooth, effortless, and blends perfectly with the rhythms. I'm not sure what she is say...
Metal Massacre, Vol. 1
Amazon Price: $6.98
Customer Review: This CD is a part of Metallica history, basically Lars had a spot on this CD before he had a band, James and Lars put together Hit the Lights, and had L. Grant throw some leads on it, (which were later updated by Mustaine) and placed this early version of Hit the Lights on the compilation. It's a great CD to have if you are a Metallica fan. James was basically copying the singing style of a band they were extremely influenced by and that was Diamond Head, so the singing style is different from...

Customer Review: The game play is pretty repetitive. I'm about half way through and the game keeps crashing. A friend of mine is having the same problem. If I can figure out why it crashes I'll finish the game, if not I don't think I'm missing much.
Avatar: The Last Airbender
Amazon Price: $7.96
Customer Review: I'm a huge fan of The Avatar, this game was alright like the title says the Games are really similar to Online Flash Games which are Avatar themed. The main thing I didn't like was that it ran buggy on my Windows Vista Laptop Computer, for some reason it would only work if I had Dual Monitors plugged in. If you want to support Avatar though, this could be fun.

KOHLER K-6352-96 Avatar Single Control Pullout Kitchen Sink Faucet, Biscuit (...
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: Unlike the other reviewer, our faucet arrived in perfect condition. The styling and function of the faucet are both excellent. The control to switch the water flow between the normal stream and the wider spray works very well (a real treat after our prior Moen faucet). The ball joint at the nozzle head allows you to easily aim the spray any direction you want without flexing the hose. I also like the angle of the water jets in the wide spray mode. They are slightly angled inward which great...

Customer Review: Faucet was what I expected. Excellent quality and nice modern look. It was a simple install .... once I got out the old one! Only reason I didn't give it five stars is price. This is a lot of $$ for a faucet and while it's better than the $200 faucet's out there, it's not 2-3 X's as good.

Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues
Amazon Price: $46.99
Customer Review: I was so excited when I heard that a second Lego Indy was coming out so imagine my disappointment when all of the things that I loved about the first one are not there.
The biggest disappointment is you can't cycle through the characters like before. If you have to do a challenge that requires specific characters, you have to wander throughout the entire level to find the ones that you need and then go back to complete the challenge. You also can't buy characters or vehicles anymor...
Avatar: The Last Airbender-Into the Inferno
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: The graphics in this game are actually quite good so that's a plus. The fighting and bending isn't to bad (although the bending is a little clunky and can be quite frustrating until you get used to it.) I like the slow motion moves near the end of a fight. The puzzles were sometimes more frustrating than challenging and I don't think that was balanced well.
The Camera Angle was many times to far away from the characters to really tell completely what was going on.
