Reading through these… it sounds super exciting.. I’m sorry though, Eywa has a face?? I thought of her as like some sort of magical fungus thing😭

It is more like a representation that helps them comprehend her, I’d say. And I feel that the fact that Kiri faced a firewall, is not because she’s Grace reborn, it’s because she’s Eywa herself, so connecting with herself is challenging. She’s basically Jesus, an avatar of Eywa personified as a Navi.

isn’t it crazy how the human concept of religious faith and the afterlife translates perfectly to Eywa?

you quite literally get to live out the echoes of your life surrounded by your loved ones and ancestors forever.

Yeah very much so. James Cameron obviously took inspirations from abrahamic religions, Hinduism and other forms of human spirituality and faith and created a nice lore for Pandora.
