    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

    Well, part of your thoughts are not yours

    Some of them are suggestions that came from people you know, the media, and such

    Some things remind you of a bad experience and so you avoid them because it's a part of your memory

    How things get stuck in your mind also has to do with how it works, a few people in the same room might have the same experience but when they leave the room, each one of them will have different thoughts about it

    Thought processes can be controlled and monitored with meditation

    Try to empty your mind of everything, it's very hard to do because some will immediately get thoughts flowing back in

    Same thing happens when you sit in a car with nothing to do, you get bored and will start looking for something to do

    When you have empty mind meditation down, your intentions become stronger and it's easier with decisions since there's nothing hindering what you actually want to do

    Have an empty mind, put something in there, and you have focus

    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 :lol:

    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
