MAN’S COMPLICATED SPIRIT
THEY SAY WHEN THE BEAR PRESENTS ITSELF TO YOU TO BE KILLED, SO YOU SURVIVE
IT BECOMES YOUR SPIRIT BEAR.
There are many legends about this in Indian folklore.
Why do we need spirit animals?
To some, the spirit appears as this particular animal, because it’s a symbolic representation of the strength of that spirit.
That spirit is attracted to a person because they need those strengths.
For example, a spirit guide who takes the form of a dog might be offering the gifts of obedience and loyalty.
A hawk might be the spirit of freedom and power.
The Deer is fast, a good kicker, and yet soft and fragile.
Spirit guides can also appear in various ways such as dreams, visions, or might come to the person in the form of the animal in real life.
The bear is cunning, powerful and can beat most of your enemies.
But what about man?
What about when man is forced to face himself, like in a game of Russian Roullette?
What does it mean when we present ourselves, to ourselves, in this deadly game?
Do we present ourselves to live or to die?
In the movie 1978 Deer Hunter
We see just this sort of thing happening.
Robert De Niro is great in this movie.
HMMMM.
Cavatina from the Deer Hunter.

That was a great movie! And Robert de Niro at his best!!
Have a great weekend!!
That movie messed me up.
You know I never saw this movie. It is always mentioned when DeNiro's name comes up though.
I don't think I ever saw this movie from start to finish. One of these years I may have to find it and watch. I like DeNiro funny I've never seen it or remember watching it.
I think it is a very deep movie with lots of symbolism.
They used to like going deer hunting and De Niro would always say to have a one shot kill.
In the end he gave the deer its life and said to it OK?
The russian roulette scene was amazing.
DeNiro was supposed to be a control freak. and Nick was the guy who liked peace.
De Niro/Michael shot to live and in the End, sweetie Nick, shot to die.
It shows you how people with different characters resolve their problems.
I guess it teaches you how to ask the right questions in life so you are prepared for what lies ahead.
But no one could forsee what lay ahead for them.Survival was the important issue but after what some saw and lived through, they lost their will to live.
