Riddick, "Not my fight" and The Fast and the Furious

 I believe in movies there are characters that live in several different movies. A lesson in one movie in an archetype, is a lesson in another movie. 



The main character Dominic Toretto is the same character as Riddick. 


The lesson of The Fast and The Furious is a movie about a rag tag team of family that seem to only find purpose in being family. And it's deeply fulfilling and relatable.The setting itself isn't that inspiring. A team of car thieves become criminal consultants for the FBI who make lots of money. The saving the world aspect isn't something they actually do or even try to do. It's something that just sort of accidentally falls on their doorstep when their just minding their own business enjoying life. 

 

That's the best part.

 

The contrast of that is The Chronicles of Riddick II. 

 

It's a dystopian universe that was primarily about faith. Blind faith and separation of worlds by pain. The lessons of pain isolated worlds who found solace in their faith. 

 

The Necromonger seemed to be an archetype that had serious issue with that. They didn't come to actually cause pain. They came to take away people's pain. 

 

Why is that so significant? Pain is what seemed to give the faith form. In contrast with love. It was like faith that had rejected love in favor of faith was facing judgement from the necromongers. 

 

The lesson of Riddick could be summed up in one phrase. "Not my fight." 

 

That was significant. Riddick became king of the necromongers. Faith was in it's death throes.  Family was callously disregarded, and pain was worshiped like an idol. 


The phrase was from a common sense tempter. "I used to be like you. But I changed. I let them take away my pain." 


It seemed to imply that pain was borrowed time from the devil to learn how to stay the same to learn how to change properly. But people had fallen in love with their debt, and the devil came to collect. 


He was like a man who came to repossess someone's house who had defaulted on their loan. The loan was pain. They were supposed to clean the pain and let love in. But instead they fell in love in and the underverse people came to bring them to the underverse. 


Pain was like an idol. God sent the devil to take away their idol. 


The lesson to keep the necromongers at bay was "Not my fight." My mother told me about an abortion clinic that had gotten closed down. My response was that I don't care. She was like "You don't care about dying babies? You should." My response was no I don't care about dying babies. 


Because I have a family. My relationship to the world will confirm itself as a series of lucky accidents if I need to engage. But family is the only thing that's truly important. 


Beside that though, sometimes family can be possessed by ignorance, pain and envy. 


And that possession is something I can dismiss out of hand too. Common sense can be dismissive of ignorance and not entertain it. Appeals to pain and envy in the guise of compassion and fairness should be immediately dismissed out of hand as a point of personal pride so that those things don't use you to create more pain and envy.


Revenge has it's way one way or another. There really is no avoiding it. Either one cleans one's mind or hurt other people. By cleaning one's mind I clearly see that other people hurt themselves in close proximity to me that I can't change or affect, but only the revenge of rejecting pain ignorance or envy can allow me to see that. 


And as a matter of pride I already learned this lesson because it's the name God gave me besides the social skills I asked for God to bless me with. Pray for this lesson if you want and God will give you those lessons, not me. I stay right sized. 


I am the most important person in the world to me. 


I don't care what others think of me because that type of care is usually only a symptom of sickness of addiction to specialness by secretly believing that your not special but want to pretend that you are by being given attention by someone you believe to be more special than you. 


That's only appropriate if one is in love with a partner. That person is my other half and she is special to me because she shares the other half of my story and my wisdom. Clear cut wisdom compatibility is the only appropriate specialness lesson. 


But that can't be stolen or demanded. It can be prayed for. I prayed for that when I was immature and when she was immature as a result of pain so our spirits were put in perfect mature harmony. 


The age gap is just a number for us. We met at a time when our mutual immaturity and mutual pain, although you definitely had more pain, were in perfect harmony. You gave me your pain because I was at a stage of dissociation due to my interesting relationship to the spiritual border of earth and hell. That put you on the spiritual border of heaven and earth. Your spirit kept me from going to hell while connecting my lessons to the earth down there. And I just had the same experience last night.


A flash of lightening lept across the sky and I felt a strange form of pleasure. My heart space became united with the thunderbolt. It became a symptom of pleasure, not pain. 


I went to people while on the border at a party. A woman let me connect to her spirit so that I wouldnt be swallowed by death.


I am now whole.
