Avatars, Lemurians, and Unitarian Universalists; Middletown
Unitarian Universalist Church, 6 Orchard Street, Middletown.
In this talk, Evan Pritchard will discuss the spiritual and
historical importance of the movie Avatar, and how it relates
to human spiritual history and to religions today. The trunk
of the tree of global spirituality seems to have taken root
on the Sunda Shelf south of India, a “lost continent”
submerged by the rising of the ocean after the last ice age.
The main current of that thought, that we are all one and
that we are all here to learn and work things out, has blessed
every continent, not without opposition, and is still being
taught by UU congregations around the world. The movie Avatar
opens a long-forgotten doorway to ancient indigenous understanding.
