Through The Eyes of Redemption

I love media. I spend many hours reading, watching, listening, and playing all the many different forms of media. You name it and I have probably done it. I read books through my phone, watch movies through netflix and blockbuster, play videogames, experience board games, read comics and manga. I love the ability that media has to influence my emotions. Then these emotions challenge me to think, to dwell over how my redeemed spirit and mind should feel about these emotions. All these forms of media not only challenge my spirit to engage with the Creator but give me a greater range of allegories to draw others into His arms. One quality that I do not see outside of God but I constantly see in media is the idea of being redeemed. Redemption can only exist with one person being stronger, smarter, bigger, BETTER then the other. You have to above someone to be able to redeem them. The ultimate archetype for this is God. There also has to be a willingness by the one redeemed. You can not be redeemed out of something that you feel is the best for you. You must realize that you need redemption to be redeemed.

This is the mindset I have when I view media. I look for something that engages my soul, my mind, my heart or points to an ultimate idea of redemption. In the future I plan on writing on different forms of media from this point of view.
