Actors, Money, and Vulnerability

Money is just an illusion. A trick. A carrot that always leads the donkey back to work. Therefore, anyone who lives to earn money is not very smart. The best thing to do, therefore, is to devote your life to passions and success with friendships and philanthropy.

Now, personally, computers and acting are very strong interests. Computers could be my progress and acting my passion. But here's the thing. I have a VERY VERY reactionary and postive and galvanizing reaction to actors. I seem them doing the gimmicks, quirks, and mannerisms of the "roles" they play, the characters they play. So I ask what is going one? Are these actors

1)Simply being themselves in the roles so they are themselves (the real life selves) just cast in different movies?
2)Nervous so they resort back to the "shell" of a character that brought them success.

Whatever the reason (I believe it is more 1, than 2) I recognize their incredible vulnerability and it makes me want to chime in and support them and their work and do what they do.

Think about it, if it's 1, they are purely vulnerable and just putting themselves in a variety of roles, and if it's 2, they are so vulnerable, they resort back to the comfort of a character shell. However, I think the main thing is that they put themselves out there and show that they are totally human.

They put their emotions on the butcher block table, of sorts, totally open for people to criticize or examine. Therefore, some actors are like the modern day saints; the people who actualy DO be the change they want to be in the world.

Analysis: Fear & Rage

Fear tricks you into feeling…

  1. That weird creativity are anomalous probems, when, in reality, compassionate differences are thresholds to effective success.
  2. That you need some external prescription medicine to cure a malady or deficiency, when, in reality, your natural hormonal pharmacology outcures anything and your malady is non-existant.
  3. That you have delusions of grandeur, instead of extraordinary expectations.
  4. That you dropped out or gave up, when you really discovered something much more necessary, your own Way.
  5. Excluded, when you’ve always been warmly welcomed with graceful happiness.
  6. A crippling problem, when you’re experiencing a crucial phase of growth.

You say TeenFreedom caused me to act differently as an ego self-defense mechanism of dissocation.

Your conspicuous consumerism is a form of repression and fantasty bonding.

    • (Could he have gotten better grades? Most certainly. As are better than some of the Cs he got. However, his academic performance (As or Ds) merely shows how well he performed and how well he connected to those institutions, but is besides the point that he was immersed in that rich intellectual culture for over six years of his life.)
    • Could he have been more involved in academia? Yes, could he have curtailed his keg stands in place of more intellectual caliber? Yes. But that academia.
  • He has an incredible technical mastery and proficiency in advanced technology
    • He flew F-102 Delta Dagger Fighter aircrafts with the Air National Guard.

    • Now, one could easily say that Texans don’t like any of their governors if only one dude has been elected consecutively, but it’s undeniable that Texans revere his leadership the most.
  • Americans Love him
    • He was elected two years in a row; we decided to put him where he is. Where he is a protector and guider of our country; you don’t voluntarily elect (America is not a dictatorship, remember) a leader for 8 years unless you love him more than the alternatives.

BUT....He's a buffoon. He' s an actor. He's wasted 8 years of our time. We need someone like Blair, a real leader, a real genius, not some moron who reads his "script" that he didn't write and has little competence nor confidence. We need someone with confidence and conviction, like Blair!

Why Religion needs to Serve our Spirituality

Why Religion needs to Serve our Spirituality

Religion is just a Vehicle to get us to Spirituality

A part of me feels that religion is simply clinging to a belief that is unproven and lacking scientific data, but does that make religion false? No! We ARE spiritual beings having a human experience. But the exclusion of religion produces tremendous war, agony, pain and suffering, so this myopic outlook of only ONE doctrine to access spirituality has got to stop. “There is only one religion, but there exist a hundred versions of it”, says Aldous Huxley, one of the great, brilliant literary genius’s of the 20th century. We should not just heed but APPLY the words of that literary genius and recognize that all religious dogma, all consecrated scriptures, all the 10 commandments, 5 pillars, 3 Jewels lead upward to a single vicinity of veracity – the exhilaratingly confident location of the synergistic spirit.

What happens if we fail to see all religions as the same process leading to the same beautiful, enriched, congruent, synergistic place?

  • Our humanity dies
    • We focus on fear of the “wrong” religion (when the “wrong” religion is non-existant) instead of our intrinsic human spirituality.
    • Homeland Security – is it protective action or reaction of fear?
    • We must take protective actions, but NEVER reactions of fear!
    • Reactions of fear are done with uncalculated haste. Actions of truth and trust are done with vehement deliberation.
  • We kill others
    • Terrorist bombs
    • Bombing attacks against terrorism
  • We neglet our own spirituality because we spend our time denouncing others instead of embracing our own intelligence.

Blair

The youngest person to be Prime Minister (since 1812) and the only PM to serve three consecutive terms and the only Labour party member to serve a full term is handing over the wheel. Blair is like the modern, contemporary William Wallace. He's brilliant, he has emotional integrity, he's feminine and masculine. He's smooth, smart, and strong -- a combination I have never seen in a single person. He is inspirational, political, economical, global, philosophical, and comprehensive all in one. I've never seen such a unique amalgam of positive qualities. He has such humanity and awareness of the global condition and state that the last thing he should be doing is ending his involvement in it; he should be a global leader.

I hope that successor, the Jabba the Hut look-alike has an inkling of lucid genuineness that Blair possesses and we'll be okay.

Most importantly, out of his wit, awareness, wisdom, and worldliness, is I trust Blair. I trust his leadership. And for me, trusting a person's leadership means a lot. I have outrageously, ridiculously, strict and demanding criteria for a leader.

I trust Blair's leadership.
