None Linear Thinking
So I have watched a couple of movies this week that got me thinking.....I know I know I watch too many movies....and I do but I love them. They help me escape and I genuinly appreciate the work that goes into acting, directing and producing a piece of work. I'm the type of person to watch all the extras on a DVD to see how a movie is made and to see the actors outside of their characters.
Okay so the first movie that got me thinking was the newest Harry Potter movie, my dad rented it and mom and I came home half way through it. Mom of course freaked out but I was intrigued I have read two of the books (strange but cool music is playing right now Bright, Bells Break their Towers, Album It's what I Need...need to look into them...).....where was I....right so I have read two of the books in the series but stopped because I got too scared. I have mixed feeling because my aunt and uncle were at one time okay with reading them but then they had some sort of spooky situation happen in their house where they thought that entertaining the books within the house caused it so they burned them. Afterwards all was well. Yet I have other Christian friends who argue that the books are fine. These friends have never had any spooky things happen to themselves because of the books.
So anyway as I was watching the movie I began analyzing it and then I just gave up. I gave up because some things you just can't analyze their is no logical sense to them. Spirits and magic are real things yet christianity is seems chooses to play it safe and not talk about them. Which I
can understand because often by talking about them you can stop focusing on the things that are important ie: knowing God and being known by him, learning about what love really is. The other things distract us from what is really of value. We humans do not understand the spiritual realm other than that it does battle for our souls (read Lewis's book Screwtap Letters). At the same time we as humans do have free will but also we have a predisposition towards certain behaviour. Ahhhh so confused thoughts are jumbled!
People are sick of one line of thought, that everything can be explained through the psycological. They can't and that is why I understand the craze of Harry Potter. HP explores the spiritual and the unexplainable. It shows some sense of reality very well, demon posession, the human spirit and its connectedness with others. It shows the sensing feeling people of this world (more on this later). Mom told me later on about how we are to have nothing to do with witch craft and that God hates witch craft. I agree witch craft does some crazy stuff but at the same time what was defined as witch craft in the Bible?
Okay so the next movie I watched I totally loved! I know that you will laugh but it was "A Lot Like Heaven" with two of my fav actors Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo sigh he is so dreamy tee-hee. Gotta love those brown eyes, just want to squeeze those dimples (no not his ass!). Anyway Reese Witherspoon plays the spirit of this girl in a comma (rad electronica just came on and I had to get my groove on The Juan McLean...) who's San Francesico apt is rented out to a lonesome widower. To make a long story short or short story turned long short.....you get my drift Mark Ruffalo's character must come to grips with the fact that she and him are meant to be and he is what is suppose to help her come out of her coma so that she can be reconnected with her body. Ya ya ya they fall in love and live happily ever after.
The movie made think about how exactly are spirit and our body are inter-connected? I really do think that this topic is not brough up enough, I truly do believe people can have out of body experiences. I am very much a sensing feeling type of person I sense things sometimes I'm wrong and sometimes I'm right.
Well enough of my babbling what are your thoughts and please don't try and argue for or against Harry Potter because that wasn't what this post was about.

Hey Ade,
I heard from a very reliable source that you got into Fanshaw and Humber. WAY TO GO!!! Congratulations!! We should definitely chat about lease takeovers (not hostile). When do you get back from Cali? When do I get to see you? Come to TO soon so we can chat about girly things, eat sweets (good organic sweets, I promise) and giggle.
