And she said to him: "Tell me
about the world before....."
And he responded: "We had far
more than we needed. Back then, we threw away what men
would kill for now....."
"Precious"
Excellent story. Superb
acting. Monique deserves the Golden Globe she received for her
portrayal as the (shadow) Welfare Mother. The lead actress is very
convincing. It was especially meaningful to Nina and myself as our
newest business project has taken us into the world of Welfare Medical
Services and Health Care Reform. This is only part of the story---but
it's a very important part. Well-worth seeing.
Brothers: Jake and
Tobey hit the ball over center field fence.
Incredibly intense movie about
a decorated Marine, assumed dead in the Middle East, who comes home to
find his wife and his brother "comforting" each other over his loss.
Awesome.

VACATIONS IN LIMITATION:
Someone wise once wrote:
"You are not human beings, having spiritual experiences. You are
really SPIRITUAL BEINGS, having a human experience. As we go into the 3D
"Trance" of Forgetfulness and Limitation, we forget about the rest of
who we are in a more Expanded Sense. We put "blinders" on ourselves,
hide from our true divinity, and we play out roles---very much like
actors and actresses do on stage and screen. Even as we,
ourselves, are busy ACTING, as we stumble through life (pretending we
are leaves.....tossed to and fro by the winds of fate).....we create
movies, books, television, and theater to further reflect what it is we
are doing, and why. We refer to these manifold media operations as
"Dreams of the Mass Mind."
THE POWER OF
DREAMS:
The concept of DREAMING AND DREAMS
shields the Limitation Consciousness from fully comprehending what is
happening when we make our excursions into
The Multiverse. We take
flights of fancy, and refer to them as DREAMS
in order to keep a firm foothold on what we believe is "real," and
what isn't. When we journey out in this way, we say:: "Oh, it's
just a dream......," and we assume that will be that..
But there is much more to it than that.
"Dreaming
permits each and every one of us to be quietly and safely insane every
night of our lives."
~ William Dement
WHEN THE LIGHTS GO DOWN: When
the audience is seated in a theater, and the lights go down, it's as if
we all agree to SUSPEND REASON, for a period of time, and allow our
fantasies and internal curiosities to have their way with us. We fly on
the wings of imagination, and we love every minute of it (if the movie
is good). When the lights come up again, it's very much like
waking after a night of active dreaming. We say to ourselves:
"Oh, it was just a movie....." and we exit the theater to rejoin
our everyday world once again. But deep inside, a part of us
REMEMBERS.......and changes subtly and slowly occur in the way we
think.....the way we view our world.
"The only true ILLUSION
that ever exists would be the belief that what is seen, within any
3D Space, is ALL THERE IS that exists in that space. Everything else
is 100% true. What you see (and acknowledge) is what you get.
And more than that, it is also WHAT YOU ARE."
~The Reconnections
THE PRINTED WORD:
I find it quite interesting that, even in the publishing world, there
exist types of publications which could be classified as "dreams within
The Dream." We read the New York Times or Washington Post and
automatically grant great respect to what is printed there. Then we
thumb through National Enquirer or The Star, and we laugh---because it's
"just the National Enquirer." Do you see? From a
Multiversal Viewpoint........EVERYTHING
is true. And EVERYTHING deserves respect and a modicum of
consideration, no matter how ridiculous it seems. Our personal Itinerary
in 3D is already laid out, and our energy will guide us. But what about
the mental pictures we take along the way? I am learning to keep
my eyes open. There are many strange and wondrous secrets which often
remain HIDDEN in plain sight.
TELEVISION
NEWS: The Bush Years were
especially interesting when it came to TV News. It didn't take
America (and the World) long to realize that the News Divisions of
Prominent TV Stations were almost entirely in the pockets of the ruling
elite. This gave birth to a form of cynicism, on the part of viewers, in
regards to the truthfulness of the news that was being reported to them.
That cynicism gave rise to Comedy Central, whose Network News Spoofs
soon became the PRIMARY SOURCE of American News for entire strata of
Americans, as well as many countries of the world. Rising stars
Jon Stewart and
Stephen Colbert
(among others) began to shake their heads in amazement. "Our work
is actually MEANT to be funny. But here are all these people,
taking seriously what they hear on the show." And now, it
seems......with everything in society falling apart........these guys
carry more of an important burden than most people realize! They
hold our spirits high, through laughter.
"It is truly amazing that you are producing such powerful simulations of
life in the Multiverse. But even more amazing is the vast spectrum of
interpretations that you tend to give to them. The moment a book or film
leaves the hands of its author or director, it truly becomes the property of the
minds who behold it. .
Take, for example, a film which is designed to
be shown at a particular speed-- a film of a gentle rainbow on a summer's day.
If you were to slow down the rate at which you move the frames through
the projector, what appears to be a tranquil, uplifting scene might be
transformed into a psychedelic nightmare of distorted colors, ominous shadows,
and indistinct forms. At other speeds, there may be great amusement as the
altered version assumes a certain personality and story line all its own.
Essentially, all scenery is neutral. Words are just words. Locations
are just points in physical space. But when they are outfitted
and presented in certain ways, calling upon already established mass
symbolism and creating reference to current or historical affairs, that
neutrality solidifies, and the audience is brought together into a state of
common understanding and shared emotion.
The mind abhors a vacuum of
non-interpretation. Therefore, each viewer tends to assign meaning to
all the images he or she sees. Like Adam in the Garden of Eden, he will
name the animals that are paraded before him, and they shall all be to him
exactly as he has named them. In truth, is this not the very essence
of personal creation?"
CREATIVE SHADOW WORK:
Movies provide a means whereby people can
do Shadow Work, in a safe and intensive way. What one or two
persons cannot "own" within him/themselves.......a whole group of people
can "own" through film. When the lights go down, we can go deep
inside the souls of Ghandi, The Boston Strangler, Jesus Christ, Hitler,
or Mother Theresa.....while still keeping a respectable distance.
If we wish to do so, we can climb inside the BEST of humanity and the
BEAST of humanity, all in the same day.
Dark Shadows and Golden Shadows are still SHADOWS, as long as we
refuse to own them.
