Lost in Space

October 16, 1997: The best hope for mankind's survival on an overcrowded planet is deep space. Alpha Centauri will be the site of a new colony of man. The crew of the Jupiter-2 are the Professor John Robinson and his family, selected for both their scientific background and their emotional stability. Also aboard is Doctor Donald West, whose theories on planet habitability revolutionized space sciences.

 

Lately I have felt a little lost and the t.v. series “Lost in Space” directed by Irwin Allen came to my mind.  The series centered around the Robinson family, who were chosen to fly a spacecraft called the Jupiter 2 to investigate a planet orbiting around Alpha Centauri, to hopefully settle upon and begin colonisation of such planet. However, Dr. Smith, an "intergalactic doctor" who was also a spy snuck on board to try to destroy the spacecraft. But he botched his plan and only knocked the Jupiter 2 off-course, also trapping himself on board in the process. So the family was doomed to be lost in space, wandering to strange planets and trying to avoid comets and various space criminals.

Here are a few pics below and the music is, of course, the theme song to the movie.  I found a great website dedicated to the movie / television series and it reminded me of another favourite of mine, “Land of the Giants”.  

I was thinking “Danger, Will Robinson” and that is when “Lost in Space” came to my mind.  I like that image of the robot flailing his arms about warning his young protégé to beware.   I think lately my other Self has un-consciously been the “Robot” in terms, not of being mechanical or wooden and un-emotional, but in terms of being “programmed” to look out for warning signs of a down-grade or a melt-down (in “me”), and thus urging the Self (my-self) to look out and to do something about the situation.  I am feeling more cheery now, but I had to post some pics and the website, because I have been living in a “dream-world” lately and memories of “Lost in Space” reminded me of cheerful days when I was younger and raced home after school to watch not only “Lost in Space”, but also “Gilligans Island”, “Land of the Giants” and “I Dream of Jeanie”.

Call me daft, if you like, but here is my tribute to Dr Smith and the rest of the crew in “Lost in Space”, and here I am, going through the metaphors of the story, and through the roles of the characters:  lovable villain (Dr Zachary Smith); curious, brave and quiet son (Will); devoted and clever Mum (Maureen Robinson); the indomitable, handsome and brave “foot-soldier” (Major Don West); the young child (Penny Robinson); the older child (Judy Robinson); the leader (Dr John Robinson), and of course …. the Robots!!  Such fun, such battles and struggles and drama …. and magic … even if they were lost in space.   Well, now that I have actually realised that I have been feeling a little lost in the “space of my own un-reality”, it’s time for me to get real and tune into and accept what I have created.   I have been feeling depressed lately and felt like “giving up” as though I have done enough on Earth – stop the ship, I want to get off, sort of thing.   But with the help of myself, the Divine, nature, the Cosmos and my Light Worker friends, I am slowly getting back on board the Star-ship again.  Let the new/old/real me begin ….
