In the first Iron Man film, the story starts with Tony Stark, the CEO of Stark Industries, is in the Afghanistan desert demoing a new guided missile system for the United States military. While riding in a military envoy across the desert, he is attacked by a terrorist group called The Ten Rings. The Ten Rings attacks his envoy using weapons made by Stark Industries.
Tony Stark wakes up in a small room, with shrapnel in his chest slowly moving towards his heart. The leader of The Ten Rings tells him that he was captured in order to make the guided missile that Stark had originally promised the United States military. A doctor is there as his assistant. Stark sees his company's weapons at the terrorist base and realizes that he played a role in allowing terrorists to get their hands on military technology. Instead of building a weapon for The Ten Rings, he builds a bulletproof suit powered by an arc reactor that he uses to escape from capture. This makeshift suit later becomes the basis for the Iron Man suit, the technology that Tony Stark uses to pursue his humanitarian goals, a dramatic shift from Stark Industries’s weapon manufacturing.
In this meditation, the limitation that the supervillain, The Ten Rings, symbolizes is ignorance and the aspect of creation that Tony Stark symbolizes is discovery. This is because The Ten Rings was able to get control of weapons because of Tony Stark’s ignorance of Obadiah Stane selling weapons to The Ten Rings. Tony Stark did not much attention to the workings of Stark Industries since his parents’ death and as a result, his father’s business partner was able to use Stark Industries for his own nefarious ends.
He defeated The Ten Rings using his makeshift suit, the suit that would serve as the basis for the Iron Man suit. He is able to build the suit and the arc reactor that powers the suit by realizing that his path until this point has been morally bankrupt. By using his talents to create machines of war, he is only perpetuating war and doing nothing to further world peace. The suit symbolizes his discovery of his life purpose, applying his engineering talents to lead humanity to a better future.
Upon completing this meditation, you attain the spiritual superpower of discovery. While making use of the spiritual superpower of discovery, you will be able to learn new truths that were previously unknown to you.
