    The Host 2013


    I was in the mood to watch a film and found this one, at first
    I thought it the run of the mill alien body snatcher flick. But
    it is more thought out than that and an enjoyable watch...

    The folks with the glowing eyes... Wonder if the metaphor there is of someone who has successfully integrated their higher selves. That creature of light that was installed in the girl at the beginning of the movie seems to reinforce this interpretation. Neat. And the untouched humans running around trying to avoid being nabbed, if you follow the metaphor, could represent personalities that are dominated by ego, and unwilling to surrender to the influence of the higher mind. One way of looking at it I suppose.

    Excellent book too. The author is Stephenie Meyer of The Twilight Saga fame but don't let that put you off !!
    Wanderer, the invading soul, has taken over Melanie, the human soul, but Melanie refuses to relinquish possession of her mind. Melanie fills Wanderer's thoughts with the visions of the man she loves, a human who is in hiding. Unable to separate herself from Melanies desires, Wanderer yearns for a man she's never met. As outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off in search of the man they both love.
    Romance and sci fi makes for a brilliant combination.
    Thanks Cider for the film link, I Know what I'll be doing this afternoon. Of course whilst doing the household chores!!

    I can't wait to watch it...

    I loved this book and couldn't wait to see the movie. I enjoyed the movie too. Like Golden Lady said it is written by Stephenie Myer who also wrote the Twilight series so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was impressed! It's written for adults, not young adults.

    So... The serpent is making everyone kind and truthful and generous and easy to live with in harmony... Yes, that's quite a twist.

    No Mu, "Serpent" is not synonymous or equivalent to "Demon". It looks like you need to try thinking outside of your dogmatic box for awhile.

    Don't worry, Satan won't get you.
    Mercy, forgiveness, and compassion are the most virtuous forms of love
    Let your heart not be hardened by injustice and tribulation

    I will try and watch The Host, just to know what I am talking about, but Ad Vitam or Immortal despite the fact it is done a bit sloppy at parts is truly an amazing example. I have it and have watched it two times. I did not know it exited on youtube in full.
