Avatar healing circle prayer

In light of reading The Dawn of Everything I'm gaining new respect for indigenous wisdom. This is the scene where Jake's human body dies and his consciousness is fully transferred into his Na'vi body. I see it not in literal or transhumanist terms but a metaphor for how we can die to being captured in the modern crapitalistic way of life and be reborn into our embodied connection to all life, enacting a more collaborative commons. In the process we re-enchant the world and our place within it via the sort of rituals we've mistakenly abandoned as retro-romantic.

Or as David Michael Levin put it in describing our transpersonal (eco-logical) body beyond the primordial, pre-personal and ego-locial bodies  (The Opening of Vision, pp. 47-8):

"This is our ancestral body, the ancient body of our collective unconscious, that dimension of our bodily being through which we experience our connectedness with all sentient beings, our participation in nature's organic processes, and the cessation of our total identification with the conventional time and space of our socialized ego. Religions use ceremonies and rituals to schematize and bring forth such a body."
