I went to watch The Golden Compass today. I read the His Dark Materials trilogy quite some time back, so the memories are rather fuzzy about the exact details of the original books. However, I really missed the part about the armored ice bears. Frankly, that all reminded me of the Narnia film, what with the Queen and her polar bears.
Anyway, thoughts of The Subtle Knife made me think about the subtle senses. The use of subtle senses is apparently best without conscious control. Or perhaps it may be more accurately termed as logical control. Interestingly enough, intuitive things by definition do not work when logic is pulled in. That is because hard logic plays no part in the control of these aspects. It's sort of like how you can logically think about how to lift your arm through control of the muscles, but no amount of logic will actually move your arm.
