Season 1 Episode 50 Lion-O's Anointment Fourth Day: The Trial of Mind Power Original Air Date: Friday, November 29, 1985
Official SynopsisLION-0 undergoes the fourth trial in his Anointment Trials, a series of tests every Lord of the THUNDERCATS has had to pass in order to be worthy of the inherited title. This trial is TYGRA's trial of Mind Power and LION-O's goal is to reach the Desert of Sinking Sands - not a difficult objective in itself. However, TYGRA uses his mind power to create illusions which distract LION-0: a windy blizzard on a clear day; darkest night when it is daytime; and pathways which lead nowhere. LION-0 is forced to decide what is REAL and what is not. The most challenging illusion is TYGRA's reaction of the destruction of LION-O's home planet, ThunDERa. LION-0 relives the fear he experienced when he was a young boy leaving his doomed planet, ThunDERa. Through this illusion, LION-0 confronts and overcomes the greatest fear that has tormented him since he arrived on Third Earth. When LION-0 finally succeeds in overcoming TYGRA, and his own fear of being afraid, he discovers that his final trial will match him against MUMM-RA.
MoralIn his fourth trial, Lion-O learns the powers of concentration and the ability to focus his mind on making judgments. Confronted with Tygra's ability to create illusions, Lion-0 copes by judging correctly what is real and what isn't. Guided by this power of right judgment, he meets his greatest fear, that he will be afraid again, brought on by the nightmare of Thundera's destruction. Facing the fear and judging it to be in the past and no longer realistic, he triumphs over both the fear and Tygra in the trial.
Like Lion-O, we must learn to distinguish reality from illusion. The acumen of making right judgments is an important skill to be learned. Our powers of judgment help us know what is a realistic fear and what is an unfounded fear. In learning how to focus our mind and how to make this judgment, we can relate to the world with confidence.
