I See You

When I saw the movie Avatar, I was enthralled by the song at the end, I See You.  I immediately came home and found it online.  Since that day, it comes into my mind off and on.  Well, today is one of those days.  I decided to do a little research to find out more about what it could possibly mean.  As I looked around I found a blog written by Jay Michaelson.  (He is an author of a book entilted, Everything is God, and has a Ph.D.)  He explains that the phrase from the movie, "I see you" is a "direct translation of the Sanskrist Namaste", which means, "the God in me sees the God in you."  Or in other words, "I see Myself in your eyes."  (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jay-michaelson/the-meaning-of-avatar-eve_b_400912.html)


What beautiful imagery!  

All of a sudden my mind is far from the scenes of Avatar, and instead, pictures the one Being who can clearly see us as we are.  Our God, whose love enlightens and inspires us to sacrifice our life to bask in His glow; whose words and holy spirit bring comfort and breathe hope into our lives.  One day He will lead us home to a paradise!  Until we can bask in His full glory, there are people who may come our way, people who have touched our lives for good.  These people have seen us as we are and loved us anyway.  This love can only come from one pure source, from our God who is the epitome of love and light!  I have known people like this, and I feel they have truly seen the God in me and I have seen the Godliness in them. 

Song and words below:


I see you
I see you

Walking through a dream, I see you
My light in darkness, breathing hope of new life
Now I live through you and you through me
      Enchanting
I pray in my heart that this dream never ends

I see me through your eyes
Breathing new life, flying high
Your love shines the way into paradise
So I offer my life as a sacrifice
I live through your love

You teach me how to see all that's beautiful
My senses touch a world I never pictured
Now I give my hope to you, 
      I surrender
I pray in my heart that this world never ends

I see me through your eyes
Breathing new life, flying high
Your love shines the way into paradise
So I offer my life, I offer my love, for you

When my heart was never open
(And my spirit never free)
To the world that you have shown me
But my eyes could not envision
All the colors of love and of life evermore

Evermore
(I see me through your eyes)
I see me through your eyes
(Living new life flying high)
Flying high

Your love shines the way into paradise
So I offer my life as a sacrifice

I live through your love
I live through your life
I see you
I see you
