Avatar and Siegel - Not this weeks reflection

On Monday, I saw the movie Avatar, as Siegel mention I forgot I was in a theatre. I felt like I was on an alien planet with beautiful scenery. Eye candy? Well, no real education value, but a 77.3 million dollar opening weekend definitely achieve the desired end.

I questioned, how was I able to relate? I have never been to Planet Pandora. How then could I disappear mentally into the film without direct-experiences? Did I relate due to my own experience of hiking in forest, climbing of mountains, and flying. On the other hand, maybe I do not need prior direct-experiences to associate freely at higher levels of the Cone of Experience.
