We saw Noah yesterday. In some ways it was brilliant - in others disappointing (perhaps after the build up - a lesson in non expectation!). There were indeed some very powerful metaphors. For me the strongest was in how sometimes he was looking outside of himself for an answer. But then in a crucial moment (without going into detail so as to spoil it), he wasn't able to suppress what he felt in his heart, even though it appeared that's what the (external) guidance was asking him to do. I felt this was particularly poignant. The "Creator" (as they termed it) flows as a stream of consciousness (the soul) through each of us. It's vital we look into the external mirror to realise greater truths about the soul, and we may see all kinds of signs and synchronicities along the way, but crucially, it's how we feel inside which verifies the truth of our experience. We're being invited always to take personal sovereignty for the choices we make. To me, that's how we find God - by finding it within. Where it was exceptionally powerful is in offering a very strong mirror about the human situation on earth right now. And for me, although it was quite 'hammed up', how realignment now needs to happen. What I also loved was how they depicted the respect Noah's family showed to other life and as a result, the degree of interconnectedness they experienced. But what this also seemed to have done, is caused a strong degree of judgment of humanity and therefore lack of tolerance (in Noah). I found this was an insightful mirror, because I've witnessed essences of it in me too. I've at times found it challenging to stomach the destruction of the once beautiful 'Garden of Eden'. So it was an awesome film indeed, but as with all 'men' (me included!), it has its flaws. Open
