mewtwo Posted October 18, 2010 Lol I feel like such a fan boy writing about this. but anyways do you think simba saw an external mufasa in the form of clouds and his real father or an internal mufasa in the form of himself?  I kind of think it was internal because mufasa just say that he must take his place in the cirlcle of life. Plus it could be possible with a zen master such as rafiki.  http://www.intmath.com/Differentiation-transcendental/rafi.jpg  AS you can see he clearly is in full lotus and doing the guyan mudra.     LOL I love being me.

Â I think he saw an internal Mufasa in the form of himself that was externalized and not in the form of himself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan Posted December 5, 2011 Are you talking about a fictional Disney movie? Â Â Hey, lions are real! so are baboons, and hyeenahs. And meercats and warthogs. Â Simba saw what simba saw and unless you're simba, you cant know what he saw! but let's say he saw his father, what now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Desert Eagle Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) That's interesting because gazing at water for knowledge and visoions is a shamanic practice.  seirei no moribito at the 2 minute mark. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_b0S5QMIVmI  Mike O’Donnell the 'Water Man' from Paeroa "listens to water" (will post a video later) http://www.greenplanetfm.com/members/greenradio/blog/VIEW/00000001/00000143/Mike-ODonnell-the-Water-Man-from-Paeroa.html#00000143 http://paganassoc.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1119  (will post a video later)   not the 26 minute video that I wanted to upload which i can't do it any time soon due to travels but here is a youtube i found.

Aaron Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) I recently watched Moribito...really enjoyed that series.  Moribito is awesome! A must see for anyone interested in shaman practices and how they're perceived from the eastern perspective. Aside from that it was a very touching story.  I would also recommend Ghost Hound and Noein. They really touch on the attempt of many Eastern Scientists to explain spiritual practices using Quantum Mechanics and Psychology. Noein, by the way, is like taking a 101 course in Quantum Mechanics.  Aaron  edit- Simba saw what he wanted to see, which was his father in the clouds. Real men watch Cartoons.

Aaron Posted December 6, 2011 I wonder why Disney released the Lion King? I mean it seems to run contrary to what the corporations want people to believe. Anyone have any thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aetherous Posted December 6, 2011 What do they want people to believe? What does Lion King cause people to believe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aaron Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) What do they want people to believe? What does Lion King cause people to believe? Â That's a very good question, what do you think? I'd love to hear your answers. I'm not entirely sure myself. On the surface, understanding the psychology behind advertising, I understand that most children's programs and commercials are intended to make children into consumerist adults, in other words more apt to purchase on impulse. Lion King, on the surface, seems to teach that impulsiveness isn't a good thing, in fact impulsiveness seems to be the cause of many of Simba's problems, at least from what I remember. I haven't watched the movie since I cared for my niece and nephew in 90s, so my recollection may be off. Â Aaron Edited December 6, 2011 by Twinner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aetherous Posted December 6, 2011 Actually I think that for a long time Disney was into the practice of 'brainwashing' children into valuing the right things in life, so that they could grow up to be better people. Teaching morality in a hidden in plain sight kind of way. Â Interesting about impulsiveness...never thought of that before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Birch Posted December 7, 2011 Here's what one girl has to say about Disney's teachings. Â http://xxblaze.wordpress.com/2009/10/29/fuck-you-disney-princesses/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aetherous Posted December 7, 2011 I think the movie Aladdin at least contradicts pretty much everything she was ranting about. Coincidentally it's my favorite! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Birch Posted December 7, 2011 I'd say Disney is also time/context sensitive. The princesses were put in movies over decades. Perhaps the girl quit watching before Aladdin came out? Â What I find interesting is how Disney took earlier myths which were already taken from elsewhere and adapted various bits. To what end they were adapted and/or characters were tweaked is probably an area of study in itself. Â Personally I prefer the Jungle Book:-) But then I'm old:-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mewtwo Posted March 9, 2012 ok this is creepy, so i presented a discution to my religious group on crazy wisdom. i had like 10 ish storyes of different crazy wisdom people from around the world like nasreddin and some zen stories and some chuan tzu and such well i ended the 2 week discution showing the clip of rafiki from the lion king as an example of crazy wisdom in pop culture. it suprised our head guy he does not watch much fiction and such like he had never heard or read the jungle book. but he liked the scene, anyways tonight i look for the scene that we watched and it says that disney removed it due to copywrite infiringment. It was the exact one we used. I just found it odd that we do this 3 weeks ago then all of a sudden disney removes it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
