Book One: Knowledge Culture Chapter/"The Fortuneteller"


Peace,

This episode deals with the knowledge cipher degree in the knowledge to culture cipher in terms of confronting the prevalence of belief in mystery, and searching for that which does not exist. The young Gods and Earth encounter a master allah now who is being attacked by a bear in the woods. As they advise him on how to evade the beast, they are surprised to witness his relaxed disposition as he deftly avoids the attack and survives it without being touched. Appa runs up on the bear from behind and plants fear in him that drives him away. When Sokka tells the man that he's lucky they came along to save him, he tells him that he would've been safe anyway because Aunt Wu, the fortuneteller from his village, told him that he would have a safe journey. Being the pragmatist that he is, the young God is skeptical and basically tells the man that he shouldn't take Aunt Wu's predictions on face value. The man rebuts that she's always right and exact, and says that she told him to give an umbrella to anyone that he met on his trip. Not more than a moment after Katara takes the umbrella from him and he moves on, it begins to distill. Upon witnessing this seemingly prophetic occurrence the God Aang and Katara are drawn up by the idea that Aunt Wu can predict the future and suggest that they go visit her to get their fortunes told. Reluctantly, Sokka joins them holding firm to the idea that they are searching for that which does not exist.

Upon reaching Aunt Wu's rest, they are greeted by a young wisdom named Mang, who is her assistant. She's instantly drawn up by Aang and attempts to magnetize him immediately. While Katara gets her fortune told, the Gods Sokka & Aang build on what she might potentially be discussing with Aunt Wu. Since Aang has a crush on the queen, he is curious about whether Aunt Wu will predict that the two of them will get together. When his turn comes, she reveals to him that his future will involve an extremely epic battle which will impact the wisdom allah rule as well as the fate of the world. He's only interested in what she for sees in his love-life. The villagers gather and await Aunt Wu's arrival to read the clouds and predict the future of the village, particularly the likelihood that the local volcano will erupt. After she reveals her predictions, the God Sokka manifests his determined idea to show and prove that she can't really tell the future. He's annoyed to find so many of the villagers with nurse's needles deeply embedded in their minds. They each seem to live their lives based on what she tells them.

Aang convinces Sokka to accompany him to a field where he can find a special flower for Katara. They discover along the way that the volcano will actually erupt and that Aunt Wu was wrong. They immediately go and add on with Katara, then rush to address the village. They are such slaves of a mental death and power, that even when they show and prove the righteous youngsters can't reach them. They come up with a power love allah now to manipulate Aunt Wu's cloud reading technique in order to show the villagers that they are in danger. Aang and Katara build on the science of cloud composition and combine their air and water bending skills to shape the clouds in such a way that they will symbolically indicate forthcoming doom. Finally they are able to convince the villagers to evacuate. The God Aang shows and proves that when the toughest of tribulations come about, he is indeed the Avatar. He is able to prevent the lava from destroying the village, and the people learn not to base their lives on the wisdom of one Queen vs doing the knowledge for self.

Peace.
SV Allah
