Here is the original post from imjessietr on Spirituality:

In the same vein as the Hensonian Chronology, I offer my thoughts about the spirituality found in Fraggle Rock.

Let's start with some Christian science (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Science), since Jim Henson belonged to it ... and see if there are interesting influences on Fraggle Rock:

"At the core of Christian Science is the teaching that God and God's creation are entirely good and spiritual, and that God has made all things in His likeness. Christian Scientists hold that the reality of being and of all existence is spiritual, not material. They see this spiritual reality as the only reality and all else as illusion or 'error'. Christian Science acknowledges that we all seem to be experiencing a material existence, but holds that this experience ultimately yields to a true spiritual understanding of God and creation. They believe that this is how healing through prayer is possible."

Although no deities seem to exist in Fraggle Rock (unless you want to argue about the Gorgs, but I'll discuss them later), some type of prevalent "magic" infuses all parts of the universe, from Gorg to human to Fraggle to Doozer.  Instead of prayer, Song seems to be the method to access this magic (in fact, maybe the Ditzies ... those little light things that live on songs ... could be divine in some way).  It's amazing what songs will accomplish, even in other areas of the Muppet universe.  Although songs don't provide physical realities (with the notable exception of lighting the Rock ... have you ever noticed that the episode that deals with this never mentioned what happens to the Gorg garden if the lights go out?  At least, I don't remember if there were any consequences.) they do invigorate and inspire Fraggles and other Rock inhabitants ... much like prayer.  The idea that only the spiritual is real is implied by the Trash Heap's (judging from the finale, which I missed, but the last few minutes can be seen on Youtube) assertion that everything is magic.  If you believe it, it's true.

Beyond that, I didn't find a real good source that influences what seems to occur in Fraggle Rock.  However, here are some themes that I picked up (and I only have up to the 2nd season DVD box set, so bear with me):

1)  Diversity is difficult but preferable.  Like all Muppet-verse shows/movies, diversity is a HUGE issue.  Although sometimes no one seems to take notice, occasionally characters realize that diversity exists.  The Fraggles are no different.  However, diversity is not always easy to accept.  Red's Club episode, and really any episode that deals with a strange new creature in the Rock, plus the constant battles with the Gorgs and the fears of Outer Space, show that one need not have some white-washed view of diversity.  Gobo seems to be the most grounded when it comes to accepting different creatures.  I say Gobo instead of Mokey because unlike Mokey, he doesn't try to "help" with perceived problems like Mokey does in her ignorance.  I think this is due to his constant explorations.  The moral of the story:  Reach out and educate yourself about others.  If you've ever seen the Muppet Family Christmas, note how easily the Fraggles take to a foreign holiday, even before they learn what it is.

2)  Music binds the worlds together.  Although all the Muppet-verse relies on music, it's on an almost religious level in Fraggle Rock.  I can't think of another property where music has the power to give life (see the Ditzies) and connect three disparate worlds.  Song could very well be a deity in itself.  Sometimes Doc even hears their music, and the Gorgs regularly sing similar or the same songs to themselves.

3)  The Gorgs.  I save them for last because I find some interesting lessons to be learned from them.  You have a father, mother and son who claim to rule the universe and have lived long enough to be virtually immortal to those of us with much shorter lifespans.  I see this as a correlation to the Trinity:  Father, Son, and Spirit/Wisdom (Mother).  Like the OT version of God, Pa Gorg tends to be judgemental and primitive in his thinking.  He believes in subjugation and the elimination of "inferior" creatures, even if it risks their own welfare.  Ma Gorg, meanwhile, is more nurturing, and while subject to the same prejudices, allows her maternal instincts to override those prejudices if necessary.  She also seems to add lessons of gentleness to Junior's life to counteract Pa's more aggressive beliefs.  Whether or not she does this consciously is unclear, at least up to the last of the 2nd season.  Yes, I'm going to suggest that Junior is the Gorg version of the Holy Son.  He has the destiny of being King of the Universe, despite his relative youth.  However, like Jesus, Junior must see things in a new light before he can rightfully accomplish his destiny.  He is helped in this endeavor by Marjorie the Trash Heap, his very own Prophet.  When watching The Gorg Who Would Be King on Youtube I was honestly surprised when Junior relinquishes the title after it is granted him.  I spent many hours thinking about that.  What does that mean?  He could have maintained a Jesus-like aura by just being kind to others as a King.  He evolved the royal sensibilities by seeking allies, not subjects.  I have to wonder that maybe it's wishful thinking for Christianity.  Perhaps only letting go of one's presupposed destiny is the only real way to attain it.  Perhaps it means that it is better to be a good friend than a judgemental ruler.  I don't know.  Yet, watching Junior throw away the crown, something he had wanted for five of our years, was simply profound.
