NTS: ...to open your eyes and then be living the dream...


When everything true points to God and is of God,
there is something of God in everything that is true.

Read fascinating article from Sunday times this morning,
and I found myself thinking: how can I use this in prayer room design,
to help people to come closer to God, to facilitate intimate encounters with the Lord,
to lead them in to discovery of the Truth, to create a space for worship?

"First Titanic, now Avatar: how does James Cameron do it?"

Some of my favorite points:
"But it is our dream, too, in which, as one can in dreams, we can fly, find love beyond all understanding, but also have to confront our deepest fears and face down our most terrifying demons."

“But, as always in a Cameron film, the most interesting roles in Avatar belong to the women. — From Sarah Connor to Ripley to Rose, Cameron’s women can kiss you or kick your ass.”

“If they were in a film that didn’t take place in such an incredibly lush, technologically jaw-dropping universe, we would have paid them absolutely no heed whatsoever. Can you imagine a low-budget live-action film with the script of Avatar?"

“Audiences should feel like they’ve been somewhere, that they’ve had an experience outside of their day-to-day life, outside of this world, maybe outside of their body,” he says, adding that he wanted Avatar to be “a visual journey, a physical journey, in the sense that you feel like you’ve actually climbed that mountain, and an emotional journey. Ultimately, and most importantly, an emotional journey”.
