Mia and the White Lion: A Lesson for us All
From a mental health worker

Let’s Talk Parenting
Parents, let’s talk biopsychology and the outlier facets when it comes to kids and their pursuits.
We have all seen those dozen individuals who literally have the ability sleep with lions. Yes or no?
Every child has a talent. They have not chosen this talent. This talent is as much ingrained in them as the array of atoms are to their practical structure and form. You not only cannot separate the connection they have with this earth (after they find it), but it is essential they know their talent, even if it is risk-taking.
For the most part, most parents will not have to worry about raising a Mia or raising a child that will ever find their talent. For the most part your kids will sink into a different psychosocial development, where they let their surroundings rule their every word and fabrication. Kind of still goes back to parenting.

But for some of you, you will have a Mia.
Who is Mia, Psychologically?
Mia is not “rebellious”. Mia has found her connection that drives her love and intention. She will be weird about this thing that she has found. A boy will be attentive to “establishing” something when he finds it. Kids still have a neurological gender/sex makeup.
Rebellion is totally different than passion. Rebellion is selfish; passion is art. Parents who help their kids develop their ethical “art” will see them flourish beyond expectation.
Mia was not trying to be disobedient. As the former South Carolina Congressman Trey Gowdy stated:
“They broke the letter of the law, not the spirit of the law.”
If the letter of the law of your home does not line up with the spirit of the law of your home, your home is broken.
Friends with a Lion (a Unique Pride)
This could have been a true story years ago with an African child.
It would play out like this: Child has a talent in their brain for relationship with this one lion and the lion feels a connection to graft them in, thus creating the link a lion has with their own species (as shown in the movie by her not being able to connect with other lions, and other lions to her).
If she connected with a pride of lions, like some people have done, then she will have been able to walk among them.
Since the lion was white, he might have known he was different and linked up with a human who was also different in his mind, in the same way. Or they both felt the other had no family and connected in that way. The connection one has might not be able to be studied. As long as the passion is ethical, there does not have to be a reason for it.
This neurological ability is an outlier, like all the others who play and sleep with lions, no doctor or scientist can calculate said connection before the talent flourishes (seen in the natural) — because one choice or natural occurrence can throw the talent off, like:
- if the lion was sick
- she played with the lion wrong as a child and it hurt her
- or her parents intervened in some way (good or bad)
- or if she had TikTok
We just cannot calculate talents, like gifts, only see them rising when they first peek out. So, that is up to you, parents. Her parents did not see the talent or they chose not to for whatever the reason.
The Talent
Even if it was an outlier situation such as this, the universe does not care about that, so get over opinions.
In no way am I stating unethical or unscientific behavior. Gravity will always be gravity, humanity will always have the purpose of owning the universe — Christians even believe that (or they should, it is in their Bible). Everyday there are outlier situations that occur within scientific and ethical boundaries.
In the true Christian communities they have what is called an “anointing”. This a step above a mere talent or gift. But, this falls under the same science. The only way a Christian truly lives the way God wants is if they work and develop themselves within their anointing. On a side note, if a Christian does not have humility, they are just walking a gift or skill, not an anointing. See my story about pastors.
Continuing the story, she would have died in the wilderness, yes. It would have been terrible and tragic, of course. It might have happened when she was 40 years old. But, she would NOT ever have been able to live if she lived and the lion were not free and it always ran the risk of abuse. That was her blood purpose. She would have never forgave her father for the rest of her life.
The lion would have tried to help her, but like all lions with their prides, they understand reality and that family dies. Even mother lions will leave paralyzed cubs for the circle of life. It’s not that they did not love their cubs. It’s that lions accept reality. Mother lions will give their last breath to protect their cubs, but you can’t protect from imminence — that’s God’s lane.
Humans are the only ones who have this uneducated view of stupidity, called lacking “usual attributes”, also called illiterate and not possessing the ability to process basic natural data (also called untutored) when it comes to the difference between human grief and animals. The lion will mourn, then move on and their focus will change due to their learned grief, to protect their other cubs better. They are freaking predators. Made to assist in the recycling system of earth — to serve humans as God intended. We, humans, linger more.
She will have inherited lion traits through her talent, a little. This is what we can see naturally. This is how we can see if someone has “been there, done that”. There is a persona or subtle behavior that screams “I know what I’m doing; you should follow me.”
She will not be a “furry”. A “furry” is a sexual connotation, or a negative and unhealthy sexual distortion of what some call “spirit animal”; and has no psycho-neurobiology to it, aside from a disorder. (please refer to the paragraph starting with “Humans”.
Her parents in the movie will have understood her talent ONLY AFTER their daughter gave her life — because that was how they were in the movie, they did not care about her talent, but her safety. They had trauma themselves about safety, naturally, due to their occupation and past.
Takeaways
Parents, a few things:
- Please pay very close attention to your child and the link of the universe that is inside of them, then nurture and masculine the growth. There is a Christian version to this, as I hit on earlier, and it is known as Ephesians 4:11. A trick to this, is no one will ever really see an anointing, like Teacher, for example, unless they have not shown it. God does use natural gifts to dictate an anointing. Moses had a speech impediment. David was the youngest. Etc.
- With that said, this goes without saying you MUST GIVE your child the education of earth. A little bit all studies. Talents are not magic, you must let them experience a neurological reaction with different situations (must I say ethical again? Nothing in psychological abnormality). A talent without knowledge will always be chasing others. Mia lived with lions right outside her door. In a real perspective she would have had a decade of lion knowledge before what happened in the movie, happened. So, probably when she was 15 she would go off with a lion into a large “natural” environment with him.
- Teaching will be difficult, but you must let your child attain their purpose or they will never truly live. God made them unique. If they die, that will be terrible, but a dangerous connection was just their universal connection — not all children will have a video game connection (actually that is also an outlier talent — like 1 in 60,000 will actually be above average and they would not be addicted — talent vs. addiction). For Christians, an anointing might be seen as embarrassing (see Moses), but the kid will rise above feelings and walk in ownership. But only if you stop governing and allow them to grow and develop!
This talent is like a 24 year-old Navy SEAL dying in Afghanistan or a teen rodeo star. Merely being any special operator is an outlier universal connection as is — sad thing is, most U.S. Special Operators had parents that fed the talent, or basic excellence, and most parents are just “there” themselves. This famous quote is for them/you:
“The richest place on earth is the graveyard.” — Les Brown
How sad it is that children never live before they die. I’d rather my child die in their talent or have the world laugh at them but they love what they do anyways, than lay in the graveyard crying, wishing they had different parents and a different life just to have a CHANCE. Anointings belong to God, not you.
I’m getting teary-eyed just writing this.
Life on earth only happens once in eternity for each person/baby.
Parents, grow your mane. Train your offspring to love, lead, and learn, so others can be happy and healthy in mind, body, and spirit. And to never quit even at the cost of their lives. It is the parents who are lions that raise lions.
Your kids were always meant to leave the home — females maybe on their 23rd birthday, but, point is, they were always meant to leave and become lions.
Lions face death, just like US Special Operators, and they come back alive when others did not. Your kid will be fine, granted they have the skills to do so. They are developed.
Killing the Talent
It is not normal to connect with a lion. Of all the people on the earth you know you’re special (I wish I had that talent!), and to let anyone for any reason cut that talent is not going to happen without them falling into clinical depression.
Why do you think many sportsmen are coaches now? They hurt themselves more and more in its pursuit. Sometimes were too stubborn to listen to the doctors.
In all true talent, there is no fear of being incorrect because the passion that reacts the neurons, which boils the blood of intention, creates physical movement — just like when a special operator or mental-equivalent civilian asks out his future wife (it’s not about being fearless as a robot, it is about having confidence in your steps, displaying leadership, when others either shy away or fail).
In our girl’s case, she may have died as a teen in a lion’s cage, but it would not have been by her lion (unless an outside factor startled him )— and humans would have cried for the girl who loved and lived. She would have no regrets. She might have hated humans, though, if they were the cause of her demise.
Let the outlier thrive. Just give them guidelines that will help them stay alive and give them training.
On a side note
The girl who played Mia did in fact live around the lion for 2 years during the movie! The white cub in the movie was HIM! The movie timeline revolved around the growth of the white lion. They did not drug the lion when you see her hugging him or jumping on him. She did have a very good connection with an actual lion — just not as the movie shown, though, of course.
Going back to when I added the link to another one of my stories above
Science will always complement science. My stories all link together. There is no science that will counteract itself. That would be the earth and its self-sustaining system having rheumatoid arthritis.
