Thirty six years ago E.T. was released today. It was a transcendent film for many of us. So many films from the 1977 Star Wars The Lost Hope, to Close Encounters of the Third Kind( November 16, 1977) and Raiders of the Lost Ark ( June 12, 1981) stimulated our imaginations. Even Superman with Christopher Reeves in December 1978. It was a magical time for movie goers of all ages.
Of course we are all E.T.’s The Earth is not our real home. We have been traveling here for many lifetimes. The challenge, when we get here, is to turn on our heart light and keep it glowing. We sometimes hide our lights under our fear. When the light goes out, we lose our way. Remember that our greatest fear is how bright our light is! Not how much darkness is in us. Remember some of the words in the Neal Diamond song:
Turn on your heart light
Let it shine wherever you go
Let it make a happy glow
For all the world to see
Let us be planetary citizens who take care of this fragile Earth space craft. There are probably millions of planets like Earth in the cosmos. We may visit many of them. Right now, this is our temporary place of travel. Each of us can assist one another, in discovering our light inside. We can love each other so much, that we can be seen all over the galaxies!
I would encourage all of us to re-watch those wonderful movies of four decades ago and discover an innocence of heart in their making and design. When we do, we may get reconnected to our purpose for coming here again. And don’t forget to follow the trail of Reese’s pieces home. From my extra terrestrial heart to yours, Thomas
