While true in physics, it is also true of life. For every good there is a bad, for ever bad there is a good. Duality.
To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction: or the forces of two bodies on each other are always equal and are directed in opposite directions.
We need to use our hearts to break free, the burning fire within.
"A story about the fire at the heart of suffering. "
"And suddenly a startling realization arose in Lily: "This apple is not mine", she thought. "It belongs to someone else."
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red.
"After years of economic exploitation and the environmental degradation, Juan "Pepito" has a decidedly sinking feeling."
which is quite obvious. An anti-nuclear tattoo and a heart lie on her face. She stands in the literal footsteps of the Tank Man while waving the white flag. However, she is then turned and met by a character known as Skullduggery by Heliofant. Of course, being a skeleton hints at skullduggery, and skullduggery is committed, as she begins to feel guilty about her actions. The Skeleton doesn't need to make you not hate them, they just need to turn you against somebody else, or worse yet.. yourself. This is all too common. The fireworks represent a bombardment of external stimuli to shut down logical thinking, or as merely a distraction.
"Opposing courageously those who wish to enslave her."
Perhaps her over-indulgence in sexual activities is an attempt to fill a void in her heart that only love could meet. Many people often confuse sex for love or vice versa. Inside the pillar we find tally marks covering every inch of the walls. This most likely represents every time she has engaged in a sexual activity, or every day she has been in the tower. Most likely the former causes the latter.
"Madame Q's point of suffering is sex. Is it repression or indulgence?
We don't know. Yet there is definitely shame there. "
Perhaps after the death of his religion, he is free of all boundaries. Nothing to constrain him, not even the religion he thought was so helpful. Nothing to get in his way of personal freedom.
"The whirling heart of Islam awakened to the one true God! He is free and needs no control."
"Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."

The final scene shows Jesus staring into the powerful and blissful radiance of the sun. An object so powerful that even the great pyramids begin to crumble before it, yet it is so beautiful. Though unmeasurable, it represents the powerful essence of the spirit. Nothing can stop it. No powers that be. No skullduggery. No war. No political agenda. No religious doctrine. It is the one thing that they can't control and it is the one thing that will end them.
Nice analyses!!! However, as other members have said in other threads, the first pyramid takes a hit at the top, which IMO is a reference to the all seeing eye being destroyed?.
The film begins showing the similar powers animating George W. Bush and Barack Obama ironically in the famous classroom of 9/11. Pulling back into a dystopic frozen netherworld towers of ice crumble in the background just as they did in New York that fateful day in 2001. The scene is lonely and isolated. Beyond, the armies of Al-Qaeda – the CIA’s foreign legion – march on illustrating the incongruent and often abstruse “War on Terror.” Jesus makes his entrance with a burning heart drawn in powerful Dia de los Muertos style. Lefebvre illustrates modernity’s broken mind preyed upon by propaganda and social engineering. Within the frosty expanse we visit third world wars, color revolution, a dancing dervish, protests and the perpetual march of neoliberal empire. The dystopia is finally pierced by a rising sun. Is it possibly a rebirth? There is hope that it is so, as the previous paradigm crumbles in the background. It is a poignant film describing what many already know: the threshold of change is upon us.
Finally someone let me out of my cage
Now, time for me is nothing 'cause I'm counting no age
Now I couldn't be there
Now you shouldn't be scared
I'm good at repairs
And I'm under each snare
Chicks and dudes
Who you think is really kickin' tunes?
The essence the basics
Without it you make it
Allow me to make this
Childlike in nature
Rhythm
You have it or you don't that's a fallacy
I'm in them
Every sprouting tree
Every child apiece
Every cloud you see
You see with your eyes
I see destruction and demise
Corruption in disguise
From this ****in' enterprise
Now I'm sucking to your lies
Through Russ, though not his muscles but the percussion he provides
With me as a guide
But y'all can see me now 'cause you don't see with your eye
You perceive with your mind
That's the inner
So I'mma stick around with Russ and be a mentor
With a few rhymes so mother ****ers
Remember where the thought is
I brought all this
So you can survive when law is lawless
Feelings, sensations that you thought were dead
No squealing, remember
(That it's all in your head)
