Protector

It's been shown this morning already but I just got over it... or did I? Trying not to spoil it (I wont but someone else might) but I want to talk about my two favorites meditation techniques they've shown in the finale. They are kinda popular in movies that try to be spiritual and a lot of superhero stories. This thing is kinda secret and is not discussed a lot, but I think I will be forgiven this one time The thing I want to talk about is, "loosing the ego" big secret, shhhhhhhhh There is a lot of technical talk on how to finally loose it but the most obvious way is often shown in superhero movies movies, mostly heroes who use magic and such, the most recent movie with such thing I saw was Thor. I mentioned that there were two things that made the season end happily, one is loosing the ego thing and another one needs explaining. But simply, desperation makes things happen. Chi follows the course of less resistance and so if it's possible, people would use their arms to lift things instead of their minds. There just needs to be less energy used, nature is efficient. People don't naturally use their super powers because they would destroy their bodies, we even use only a small part of our muscle's power. In desperation people were able to lift giant boulders off themselves, but right after they would notice that their muscles would become destroyed. You don't see people showing their powers left and right everyday, sometimes people die anyway. Interesting thing I noticed in some people, they would throw their lives away to do something. To them their own life doesn't mean much... but The life of someone else means a lot more then their own Say, that reminds me, Aang didn't reach enlightenment and went to save Katara in the old series at one point. Since universe doesn't judge, it doesn't care about what happens to a little speck of dust human somewhere. Some people find it easier to sacrifice themselves for someone else. Everything is possible, why would universe or anyone make priorities then. Reminder, in my half-lineage thing chi is the energy that powers intention, keep that in mind for this to make more sense. Chi follows the course of less resistance and at a big scale like the universe, nothing matters since chi can go anywhere. On a small scale, in the world of humans, we notice the resistance and it becomes real to us. We make priorities and create chi pathways in our lives. Some things become important to us, some don't, and we have an ego that replaces the real world around us. Knowing that, imagine this meditation We can actually create paths for chi to follow, we can make something important enough to lift a rock off somebody. We can just let go of everything, one of the ways is to feel trapped. Like a bomb that is about to go off, there is no place to go and so the only way is to make your own way or make the way find itself. If there's a hole in a dam, you will notice where it is by the water leaking from it. These stories are about already powerful people, but there is someone more powerful who cannot be beaten with the old powers. That's where the dramatic letting go happens. AAAAAAAAAAA THE NEXT SEASON IS CALLED ENERGY I MUST SEE IT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Maybe I could use my meditation powers to travel forwards in time hmmmmm

Hmmmmmm let's see what Taoists do... Taoists like to take long walks This is probably from my listening to the Korean side of Taoism where there's a lot of taekwondo and leg exercises, and the terrain is covered in hills so might as well use the strong legs There's also a lot of mountain climbing and on these mountains there's a lot of circle walking, and as long as you live on a mountain you need to learn how to breath right I remember a story about a long living person being asked by a general about longevity and one of the tips was long walks and sitting in seiza with the butt not touching the ground so there will be some exercise while there's nowhere to walk By the way, HORSE STANCE!!!

But we won't have a happy ending to the season that way Also that would make the second season predictable, and now, it's a mystery I wonder if this was the whole story they had planned at the beginning when they only had one season I wonder if they moves some stuff from first season into second when they got that extension Some characters didn't even do anything, yet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV5zizS4WzU

Long before meditation stuff I was a moderator on an anime site Since I was sitting there all day and everyone else was going "Hey, What's good?" I had to find out what's good But I kinda got tired of anime, movies, entertainment, video games, stuff Most of the time it feels like I'm not getting something out of it and that feels like a waste of time for me I used to watch One Piece a lot until I realized that the manga is far ahead of the anime And since then I was only reading One Piece manga and I don't care about any other show Well, I'm kinda curious about what's going on in Bleach and Naruto even though they don't have anything special I also like Detective Conan, though it has no rereading value since it's a detective thing Also thinking about shows in general, I only watched them because they were on TV but now I don't watch TV Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm And that's all I have ever to say about anime Yeah why not, maybe someone else still likes it

It's gooooooooood I guess we will have to see in the second season if she improved or something Would be kinda weird if she was walking around like super avatar person instead of herself Also, ummmmm how to put it into nonspoilerific way, in the end I think instead of boo-hoo no more fun stuff, she was contemplating letting go

Actually that that taiji is spinning so fast that it looks like it's spinning clockwise AND NOW TO DRAW THE TEN THOUSAND THINGS!!!

Oh and everyone got spoiled by nice masters who are eager to give a thousand different techniques to help everyone become enlightened super sayans

I said ability because I didn't want any spoilers, you're right Zhang that's what she's afraid of But it's not nice trying to guilt people out of wanting to be something great There have been a few threads about what makes meditation harder to do, and for Korra it was almost impossible Being locked up helped a little but that wasn't intentional, she just had nothing else to do in there After she left for the Republic city, she came under pressure from the society An analogy would be a sage coming down a mountain, everything is great and perfect on the mountain but in a chaotic society the sage stops acting like an enlightened being She wanted to learn airbending but Tenzin left back the Republic city, Korra didn't get what she wanted and so she followed him, kinda bratty but that's fine Then she found out how scary the world is and for a while got distracted with probending More confusion came with Mako/Asami thing and also THE THING HAPPENED (avoiding spoilers as hard as I can) Her mind got even busy and then Tarlok with his responsibilities showed up and pressured Korra into helping him Later Amon took away the probending distraction and as the story progressed, more things were added up to her mind Korra might have the grand title of Teenager but she is still like a kid She seen only the surface of things and she needs to learn how to see through that She is also greedy and want's a new better toy because she sees only the appearances We didn't see Aang being like that because right after he found out he was the AVATAR he got crushed by his responsibilities There's not much point of being on top without climbing there first and I do think she got there herself Just wanting never get anything done, changing your outlook on the world doesn't change the world itself, it just leaves the door open If you think something is impossible, it will stay impossible If you think that impossible is possible, you give yourself a chance to prove that These billions of praying crying people are pushed to do what they can to survive Hungry eat the closest thing they see as edible, angry kill their enemy and start riots If they decided not to feel anything, they would die hungry or get killed by their enemy If Korra instead of crying herself into enlightenment, as you put it, went with her friends, she would have felt better and the struggle would stop It won't matter that she's weaker now and she will accept that this is how it is Ego would be gone and she would become a fully realized... normal person There are actual times when people decide that there are things to die for Korra is either the Avatar or she in nothing, that's what her ego taught her She could have became a carpenter or a monk in some air temple If she meditated enough, she would have seen that nothing actually matters The world is so big and there are infinite possibilities and outcomes Somewhere later in life she might see through all the illusions and become a Buddha And only then she might unlock her Avatar powers But she can't be nice and understandable, she is the only Avatar in this time and people need her A lot of people lost their bending and you can't expect them to meditate on how it doesn't affect their life in general, they want help now and in the future something else might happen that will need her There are still people in martial art clans and families and different lineages, where a person wears a vial of poison around their neck that they drink if they fail at something they aim to do Some people who have their resolve set on reaching enlightenment or some other goal don't reach that goal because they have another way out Unexpected things happen, maybe one day you will be walking down the street and then some punk will stab you and try to get your money, that would be it for you if you didn't reach your goals or http://www.cracked.com/article_18810_the-5-most-epic-one-man-rampages-in-history-war.html

I can't deal with this bullshit and so let's make eight to ten page threads talking about this bullshit

Be careful, it might fly across the room and hit somebody

I zapped myself after meditation because I was being a butt Does that count? By the way, sometimes when you're told not to do something, don't do it

Depends on how you see your path as Things like, do I really need it? how long does it take? Where am I? Answer that in your meditation, don't know if it's better to be closer or farther away tho

Know what, thinking about it a little, Amon is the perfect obstacle for Korra Korra is very eager to bend things and likes fighting so much that she even joined the probending thing. If Amon wasn't there, she would be having a lot of fun with the avatar thing and might keep having trouble with airbending for a very long time. Then there's Amon, he is horrifying Because of Amon's ability, Korra is having nightmares about him After being beat by him, benders have their lives ruined and Korra is all about bending Meeting him is a big challenge for Korra, bending stops being fun and now it's life or death So, Amon shows how scary fighting is, previous show didn't have that
