I know my blogs are getting sillier everyday. But I was watching the show with my son and I noticed a theme and a message. I get so tired of everyone preaching about the satanic symbols in cartoons, so I decided to blog the good qualities in a cartoon. The Care-bears live in a magical land in the clouds called Care-a-Lot. They live in a castle and drive cloud cars. They all have a sigil on their stomachs denoting a good quality or virtue. When they face the (ultimate evil figure) dark heart they have to charge their charms or sigils on there stomach and they let out a beam of light or a ray of good energy. They are the strongest when they all link hands and reflect their rays together. This is called a care bear stare.This is how they defeat bad vibes and create balance and harmony.
What’s interesting about this is they are the colors of a rainbow which is all the colors of light or energy spectrum. They vibrate certain frequencies and have certain properties that they give off. They are kind of like the Chakra bears or Channeling bears.
So that got me thinking about other characters that teach a message through a metaphysical perspective.
Rainbow Brite. She is the ultimate child of light.
The Story of Rainbow Brite
Rainbow Land was a place of total darkness and emptiness before Rainbow Brite was sent to save it. She is brought to Rainbow Land in a sphere of light and is asked by this light whether she wants to fulfill the mission of saving Rainbow Land and restoring it to its original beauty. Rainbow Brite agrees. The voice tells Rainbow that in order for her to save Rainbow Land, she has to find the sphere of light.Rainbow sets of to seek the sphere of light and meets Twink on the way. Rainbow manages to convince Twink to join her quest in search of the sphere of light and they set of to the castle where the sphere of light is supposed to be. At the gates of the castle, they encounter Star Lite who has been frozen in ice. They save Starlite and the three of them continue on the journey towards the castle.Murky and Lurky are instructed by the Evil one to stop Rainbow from reaching the castle. On the way to the castle, Rainbow and her companions encounter some difficulties set up by Murky and Lurky. While trying to cross a bridge, the bridge collapses. ( the structure of the bridge was weakened by Murky and Lurky).Rainbow and her companions fall into the river below and manage to climb back onto ground. Rainbow then finds a baby on a rock and at this moment, it begins to rain. Rainbow suggests taking shelter in a cave until the rain stops. In the cave, they discover Rainbow’s belt and also Red Butler. The belt suddenly lights up and 7 bubbles float into the air. The images of the color kids are in these bubbles and the color kids tell Rainbow Brite that they have to be saved in order for Rainbow Land to be saved.On saving the last three color kids, Rainbow, the color kids and star lite encounter Murky and Lurky.Rainbow sets of to save the other color kids who are at the different corners of Rainbow Land. She finds all the color kids and she sets of to fight the evil one and look for the sphere of light who is in the castle tower. Rainbow goes to the tower and realises that the baby she found is the sphere of light. Rainbow then fights with the evil one and defeats him. Thus, restoring Rainbow Land to it’s original beauty and glory.
She is formed from darkness because the good light. She ascends the rainbow bridge or different levels of spiritual attainment. She goes through her ritual or initiation process with the input of the cave. Afterwards she has ascended and she is able to create. She creates 7 companions. (or releases them from their bubble prisons) She fights the ultimate evil and saves the day and restores mankind to its original state.
Now for the guys out there we have the story of Voltron, Defender of the Universe.
Indeed. Not since Star Wars has there been so much back story behind one “legend.” A long time ago, in this galaxy far, far away, a group of scientists on the planet Arus created a robot named Voltron as the ultimate defense system. But bad guy Zarkon had it out for the robot, and after being defeated several times in his futile attempts, he sent his witch Haggar to do his dirty work for him. Disguising herself as a goddess in distress, Haggar put a curse on Voltron that split him into five lion-shaped pieces and forced him into hibernation. Lucky for Voltron, a band of space explorers came along sometime around the 25th century and discovered the five sleeping lions. And none too soon, as Zarkon had already established his reign over the galaxy.
Each space explorer piloted one of the lion pieces. The leader of the group was Keith, who helmed the Black Lion and directed the formation of Voltron. Lance, the pilot of the Red Lion, was the sassy one, never missing an opportunity for a sarcastic comment. The Blue Lion pilot was the Norwegian Sven, alhtough he was replaced early in the series by the beautiful Princess Allura and her caretaker, Nanny. The tough guy of the pack, Hunk, piloted the Yellow Lion, while the Green Lion pilot, Pidge, was remarkably agile despite his outward geekiness.
When the danger got really heavy (and thankfully, it did in every episode), the five lions would form the feet, legs, arms, torso, and head of Voltron. The assembled mega-robot wielded the mighty Sword of Arus in the defense of his people and planet.
A host of other characters made this galaxy a bustling one. There was Koran, the worry-wart diplomat of the Castle of Lions (Voltron’s base of operations), and Allura’s dead father, King Alfor, who would appear to his daughter in frequent visions. And then there were the evil folk. At Zarkon’s side was his right-hand man, the ineffectual Yurak, and Zarkon’s son Lotar, who desired only to take his father’s place as King of Planet Doom [Planet Galra]. Hagar had her own cronies, including a group of evil monsters known as Robeasts, which were about as effective as a group of Stormtroopers.
Voltron: Defender of the Universe came to the U.S. in 1984 and took America’s youth by storm. A second series featured an all-new Voltron, this one composed of fifteen space exploration vehicles fighting the alien Drules. Titled Voltron: Defender of the Near Universe
This to me is the four elements combining to make the new element or the five elements including Aethyr.
