Pandora

Part of Avatar to reflect on biosphere, humanity, and expansion of life.

Pandora is a moon whose biosphere has evolved into something wonderful.

“The flow of life,” as the inhabitants call it, or “The biochemical link that unites every living being,” as the human scientists call it, is the great goddess of that unique world.

A supercomputer that has not been built, but has evolved in wonderful forms. Every living being on Pandora is part of that megacomputer, part of its processing and part of its existence. In the end, we could say that the biosphere of Pandora is a single living creature and that each individual creature is a small component of it.


But in the end, Pandora is nothing more than a dream born from the human mind. Pandora is a world that emerged from imagination, traveled to paper, and became a successful movie.

But just as Melko’s evil cannot go beyond Illuvatar, because Melko himself was born from Illuvatar, Pandora has its roots in something that already existed for a long time, much longer ago.

Somewhere in the universe there exists a small world whose inhabitants call Earth.

That world has a biosphere just like Pandora. In that world there are plants that with their roots dig into the depths and extract water and minerals from the planet, seeking only what is useful and leaving the rest in place. They process everything they find to form complex molecules that help them grow more and multiply.

There are also animals that devour those plants and assimilate each of the molecules that were part of the plants. Then they convert them into even more complex molecules, break them down, convert them into energy, and multiply.

Even there are animals that eat other animals, skipping some of the biochemical processes and moving directly to the large-scale acquisition of energy.

All these forms of life are intertwined in an enormous and complex chain. A delicate system that extracts inanimate matter from the planet, energy from the nearest star, and forms a phenomenon known as “Life.”

Although this biosphere does not have a unified synapse like Pandora’s, all the creatures that make it up are part of its system, which is expanding further and even beginning to jump to other worlds.

There are stories of small creatures that feed only on energy and fly around that world sending and receiving signals. Some have visited its moon and others are beginning to visit other worlds, which they explore and send information back to Earth.

These small creatures called “Robots” are not capable of thinking for themselves, cannot reproduce, nor can they heal themselves. These organisms are extensions of other known forms of life called “humans.” They are controlled remotely and satisfy the thirst for knowledge of these creatures.

And since these creatures are part of the same biosphere, they are fulfilling the information needs of the biosphere, and it is said that the biosphere plans to use these creatures to expand into new worlds and bring life to every corner of the universe.

And if any human hears these words, I would like to tell them that humanity is part of that biosphere, for it has evolved, grown, and learned within it. Every human being is born from the earth following the mechanisms of life, and every human being returns to the earth upon death. All are part of the same creature, of the same living being.

I would like to tell humanity not to fear embracing itself, loving itself, devouring itself, for all are one and one is all.

I would like to tell you that humans are humans, that the world is the world, that life is life and death is the essence of life.

I am a wheel, I am a wheel!!!!

I am the man of the silver mountain!!!!!
