For me, it’s the Lord of the Rings movies and books, and Ursula K.Le Guin’s Earthsea stories. I’ve been thinking lately about stories and how they help us understand who we are.
The stories that move my heart have always been about redemption and finding beuty in everyday life—even as a child, I was drawn to that kind of plot. As a teenager, I watched a lot of anime. I couldn’t tell you how many stories I consumed, but the ones I still remember, years later, are precisely those about redemption and beauty.
I think we humans have a fascinating relationship with stories. We’ve been telling them since the dawn of humanity. What is it about a story that pulls you back to it again and again?
LOST - this is the best show ever made for anyone on the path of initiation/spirituality.
Timeline work, good vs. evil, lessons, karma, tests, past lives, hero’s journey, destiny, esoteric knowledge, magic, powers, certain places on the island that hold healing energy, soul families, time travel, revising the past to change the future, etc.
Do you mean the American series from 2004? I remember watching some episodes, but I was very young back then to understand it. It would be interesting to watch it now, with different eyes.
A few weeks ago, I watched the movie It Feeds, about a psychiatrist with psychic abilities who tries to help a possessed girl.
It reminded me of Maitreya
Hmm for me, if someone would ask me, it’s Forrest Gump. A very cool character, he does ,what he wants with perseverance don’t know exactly why I love the movie so much
Wow, Forrest Gump brings back so many memories. It was such a big part of my childhood and adolescence because local TV aired it all the time. There’s no doubt this movie is special; it touches on so many core aspects of the human experience—innocence, loss, trauma, war, and truly living in the present. The scene that always stays with me the most is ‘The box of chocolates’.
don’t know exactly why I love the movie so much
