HOLLYWOOD BIDS FAREWELL TO 3D!

One more day 'till the debacle known as The Academy Awards. Yes! The Oscars! In many ways this year, Hollywood, and the ubiquitous "Academy," are apparently giving the Lifetime Achievement Award to... Hollywood and the ubiquitous Academy! It is like a final tribute to its century-long reign in 3D (as in 3rd Dimensional consciousness) film entertainment. And like everything during this time of consciousness raising, 3D must give way to 5D.

So, how is this honorarium and departure manifesting? Well, in 3 ways, basically - by the depictions in the nominated films themselves, by the #OscarsSoWhite mortification and boycott movement, and by the #HollywoodSoOldWhiteMen movement that's about to get underway.

Starting with the movies...

"The Big Short," "Spotlight," "Room," "Bridge of Spies," "Brooklyn," and "The Revenant" all harken back to recent or not so recent moments in time when the primary themes of 3D life were greed and corruption, sexual abuse and denial, paranoia and xenophobia, prejudice and nativism, survival and revenge.

Ah, you gotta love dualistic, linear, time-limited consciousness!

Then, there's Mad Max and The Martian, set in a future created by the most popular 3D themes of all: fear, fear and more fear! Fear of abandonment, of course, fear of technology, and fear of the ever present imaginings of a dystopian, nuclear war torn, water-deprived doom in the not-too-distant future.

What anticipatory, optimistic fun, eh?! Well, actually, it was for a while, in its way, and I sort of enjoyed most of the films above, but with a sense of relief to be moving on from those old story lines.

Onto #OscarsSoWhite... so much has already been said and written about this embarrassment that all I can add is... Really?!

That's it? That's all you've got, Academy members?!

Oh well, now, the movement I'm most excited about - the #HollywoodSoOldWhiteMen farewell!

These days, most people in the movie business under 65 years of age are pretty clear that the "Studio System" and the so-called "Golden Age of Hollywood" are defunct, certainly dying if not quite dead.

Old or aging white male moguls, titans and tyrants, who ruled with an iron fist for so long, keeping women, racial minorities, gays, and ironically, people their own age, locked out of positions of power or out of the choicest roles in films, are being challenged by younger, diverse, enlightened minds and rapid advances in technology and social media.

And just as traditional studio filmmaking gave way (somewhat) to independent filmmaking, and Network television gave way to Cable, which is giving way to Netflix, Hulu and AmazonPrime, all of which will give way to home grown, grassroots production companies and collectives very soon, the oligarchy that has been Hollywood is heading for its final moments on stage next Sunday.

More prescient that he may have known, Billy Joel's apocalyptic song from 1976 was our clarion call to "Say good-bye to Hollywood!"

See ya!

Flash! Hot off the press - "Hollywood still 'straight, white, boys’ club', finds major diversity survey!"

WOW! THIS IS A LOVE OF COFFEE!!

Well, I've written a lot on this blog about the benefits of coffee, and clearly I do love the dark brew, but this guy trumps me in his dedication to the roasted bean -

Really!

LEFT BEHIND? SORRY, BUT WE'RE ALL GOING!

This is somewhat vintage post (from 2 years ago) that came into my consciousness this morning -

I just saw one of the worst movies of 2014, "Left Behind," based on the first book in the Left Behind series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins. The monumentally popular books (at least amongst self-described Christian fundamentalists) are quite loosely based on a fear-based and child-like interpretation of the Book of Revelations in the Bible. Starring a rather ambivalent Nicolas Cage, who wouldn't openly talk about his religious beliefs when interviewed about the movie, and a forlorn Lea Thompson, who seemed sad to have been reduced to the role of a chagrined mother who gets "raptured" early on in the film, Left Behind takes a powerful psychic projection from long ago, linear speaking, about the transition from 3D Earth to 5D Earth, now taking place in our times, and turns it into a proselytizing reward and punishment lesson about believing or not believing in a Jesus who actually never said most of the things devout Christians attribute to him.

Here's a piece I posted on FPL 2 years ago explaining how the Revelations predictions are actually playing out for all of us on 5D Earth.

As I've written on FPL, this current transitional time is a time of "non-optional choice." That might seem like an oxymoron, but let me explain.

The non-optional part is that you must make a choice, now. In other words, this is not a time where remaining in neutral is possible. The status quo must go. The optional part is what choice you make.

As has been written and talked about for a few thousand years, by soothsayers and metaphysically connected individuals, we collectively put in place a decision that in this age, at this time, and specifically centered around the calendar year, 2012, we would shift from 3D consciousness to 4D briefly and then on to 5D (You can read some FPL posts on 4D HERE).

The choices basically come down to this:

1. You may hunker down, hold on, and dig into 3D ideas and beliefs - like dualism and limitation - which means that your life will be what is referred to in the Book of Revelations as the "Tribulation." In other words, you will continue on in a struggling, battling, crisis-ridden way of life, in which obstacles, barriers and adversaries continue to plague your daily existence.

2. You may simply leave the planet, making your statement that you don't want to make the shift to 5D in physical form just yet, but you don't want to suffer either. As FPL readers may recall, I posted the statistic a few weeks ago that more people died last year in the U.S. than in any year since we've been keeping the statistic. Revelations calls this the "Rapture." Yep. It's definitely one popular route right now, especially with younger souls.

3. You may do the self-work necessary to open your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual channels, embrace change and the unknown and move forward into 4D, then 5D, where you create your reality consciously in accordance with your highest excitement. This is the "Thousand Year Golden Age" described in Revelations.

I mean, this might seem like a no-brainer to you, but that most likely means you're on your way to doing whatever it takes to get on the 5D train. A good number of people right now, I can assure you, are going with options 1 or 2.

This particular moment "in time" represents the opening of a significant window in our continuum, a moment when there is a great deal of energy available to make the transition. But The 2012 Train is heading out of the station, and it will not be as "easy" to catch soon. Can you eventually catch another train? Absolutely. Ultimately, every being must evolve and continue to raise their vibrational frequencies on their way to fully conscious oneness. Everyone "makes it," in other words. But how and when is always up to us. Again, as I've said before, there will eventually be another train of acceleration to get on at some point, and sooner or later, everyone is going to 5D and beyond. But if you're ready, willing and able, now would be a good time to leap!

So, here we go, folks. There's now less than 3 weeks left to 2012, time to make your choice and get on the 5D train... or not. But, as Bashar says, we're pulling out of the station.

All aboard!

TODAY'S LOVE QUOTE!

"And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course."
Kahlil Gibran

[FPL Editor's Note: 1. It is more accurate to say that it is Eros whose course cannot be directed; and 2. Love always finds you worthy.]

Happy Valentine's Day!

TODAY'S "BOOK OF MASTERY" QUOTE!

“How you decide to be in encounter with any situation will call to you the next series of events that you will learn through. Each time you make a choice to be a certain way, to align to the self in a certain way, you claim the potential of that choice to ricochet and propel you forward. So the choice that is made of how to perceive the self in regard to any situation calls to you how the response is manifested in the physical realm.”

(Paul Selig in "The Book of Mastery")

DO YOU HAVE "RBF SYNDROME?!"

In the past on FPL, I've written about so-called "syndromes" identified over recent years by the so-called "Traditional Medical Establishment" ("TME"). (See "The Medicalization Of Mundane Experience: The 'Syndrome' Syndrome.") My favorite at the time was "RLS" or "Restless Leg Syndrome."

Well, I have a new favorite - "RBF Syndrome" or "Resting Bitch Face Syndrome."

This is from Wikipedia:

"Resting bitch face, or bitchy resting face, is a term for a facial expression (or lack of expression) which unintentionally appears angry, annoyed or irritated. The concept has been studied by psychologists and may have psychological implications on facial biases, gender stereotypes, human judgment, and decision making."

This is from the Urban Dictionary:

"A person, usually a girl, who naturally looks mean when her face is expressionless, without meaning to."

Now, you might think that RBF is just a humorous meme, but think again, because once the TME gets ahold of it... That's right! According to the NY Times: "Plastic surgeons say they are fielding a growing number of requests from those who want to surgically correct their 'permafrowns.”

Folks, you don't have to be an expert in body language to understand the concept of "masks," as described in character analytic and bioenergetic therapies. They are the repetitive attitudes, stereotyped verbal expressions, and rigid physical poses and postures we adopt in childhood in a futile attempt to hide ourselves from ourselves and others. But your grandmother knew that when she told you to stop frowning, lest that expression become permanently stuck on you.

The good news is you don't need surgery; your mask can be removed by you in a thorough holistic therapy that gets to the underlying cause of the deformation. In fact, when the mask comes off in therapy, it is a beautiful sight to behold. Suddenly, the entire person's visage becomes supple and vibrant.

So, while she may have been right in her admonitions, for Grandma's sake, take action and heal your RBF... before the TME comes up with a drug for it!
