Day 222: Thor: The Dark World and What's Missing in Movies

Just the other day I watched the 2nd Thor movie, Thor: The Dark World, in 3D. I have to say, it's quite a testament to the skill of movie makers these days, that they can take a big, hulking guy, in a red cape, that flies around with a giant hammer, and make it not look totally ridiculous. That's quite impressive. But that's not what I'm here to blog about.

What I noticed as I was watching a sweeping view of the massive vaulted ceilings and stone columns and ornate décor of the interior of their opulent Asgardian palace, was what you rather don't notice while watching the movie, or really in fact almost all movies, which is – where are all the slaves?

Now, what do I mean by that? I mean – who built these massive columns and chambers and ornate decorations? It certainly wasn't the main characters of the movie. And who makes their clothes? Their fancy ornate costumes that flutter and shine so perfectly like the utter symbol of regality? Certainly not them. Who cooks their food, does their laundry, cleans their bathrooms?

I never used to consider these points in movies and shows. I used to just watch and try to 'sink into it' in a way and 'just watch the show', but this would often just seem so empty. And that's because movies usually are quite empty as in not having anything of real substance within them. Like they are usually just trying to evoke some feeling or emotion like 'hope' or 'excitement' or 'romance' and in the end you're left with nothing but a momentary feeling. There is usually very little that actually has any relevance to life, but is usually meant to be a momentary distraction from it, to distract from the general disappointment with the status quo or with how our lives are going by for a moment taking us into some fictional reality which becomes a sort of coping mechanism, so that we can tolerate our reality for a bit longer, without ever actually getting so bad that we would actually want to change it.

So I had eventually lost much interest in movies, until I found that it is actually a cool tool to test yourself and your awareness of reality. How you do this is to simply watch the movie and as you watch, don't just 'sink into it' like a zombie where it is really then just your mind watching it while you are in like a trance state not really here, and see what you notice as you go what is out-of-sync with reality. This becomes quite a fun game, suddenly the movie experience is not so empty, and you are testing, exercising and building your awareness as you go. Suddenly watching movies and shows has become a self expansive and rewarding thing to do.

It's also quite fascinating and quite humorous at times to see just how far departed from reality movies and shows can be.

It's also interesting to see in what ways a movie does actually mirror reality, like for example with the Thor movie, and many others, where in reality we tend to take for granted all the 'behind the scenes' stuff like who makes our clothes, and we have a whole slave labor thing going with people working in sweat shops to make our clothes, which we then wear as we're trying to be the characters in our own personal 'movie' of our life, where our clothes are just costumes that we wear to 'express' our 'individuality', while disregarding the truth behind them, and the fact that we're all wearing the product of slavery, essentially.

Just like as we watch these movies, we don't even for a moment consider how were the fancy buildings built and where are the people who built them, and did they build them because they were slaves to labor, or because they actually wanted to build them? And the people who made their armor and their clothes, and cook their meals, and clean their rooms, why aren't they in the movies? Who mines the rocks, the metals, filters the drinking water, grows the food they eat? And this goes for the 'alien' races as well. If we saw that stuff, those inner workings of the system that we tend to ignore, would it change our perspective on those people? Like when we look at how all that exists in actual reality and is a result of largely forced, abusive and/or poorly compensated labor – it's not so cool is it? So no wonder we don't show that in the movies, and we only see the 'pretty parts', the parts that we've given a 'positive' value – the heroes, the action, the suspense, all the emotional and dramatic moments.

But what I realized is that no matter how awesome that 1.5-2 hours in the theater was, the same reality was waiting for me when I walked outside. Actually, reality has been steadily getting worse, while we tend to hide away in distractions instead of face what's here. Imagine, if we sorted this reality out, then we wouldn't care so much about having a moment's distraction, which only lasts for a moment anyway, and never changes anything. No matter how much of a positive experience I had, nothing positive had actually happened, in reality.

I'd like to see what movies would be like if they weren't just here to distract us from reality for a little while longer. Or if they weren't made just to make a few bucks off of our desire to be distracted for a moment more. We would certainly see a lot less horrible movies that were made purely just for the money!

So here, sharing how I've transformed movies and tv shows into tools for self expansion and made them something actually worthwhile and truly entertaining, instead of just distracting. If you too have noticed how just blindly watching movies has become empty, try it out and see what you see.

This is also a cool point for those who may have come across all the info that is out there about how movies are used to 'brainwash' the masses, perhaps by the 'Illuminati' or the 'powers that be' and such, because if you are sticking to reality and developing your awareness of reality and crosschecking with what you see in the movies, then you are certainly not going to be brainwashed by it. So, this is also the solution for those that would fear that point. The solution being to make sure you develop effective self awareness and awareness of reality so that you can't be fooled, and movies and tv shows which are essentially total fiction, are thus a great way to test and assist in developing that. So you take the tool that's been used to 'placate' and 'brainwash' the masses, and actually turn it around and use it as a tool for the development of your own self awareness! And, you can still find the movies entertaining, which I did find of Thor: The Dark World.

There are also other dimensions to how you can use movies to increase your self awareness, which I will likely blog about in a future post to come, so stay tuned for that.

Day 26 - The Negative Effect of Positivity

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to think that ‘being positive’ will improve my life, not considering that ‘being positive’ is only putting on an act by saying certain things in certain tonalities that I have defined as ‘positive’, and not actually taking any real relevant action to change myself and my world.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that ‘thinking positive’ will improve my life, not considering that within ‘thinking positive’ I am actually trying to ignore and suppress any ‘negative’ thoughts I have and cover them up with ‘positive’ thoughts, as I have not walked the practical process required to actually stop the thoughts that come up within my mind consciousness system.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that I can only experience positive feelings.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not consider that no matter how hard I try to stay positive, I have never been able to maintain my positivity.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize that when I experience ‘lows’/lack of energy, it is because I have tapped-out my body’s ability to produce good-feeling chemicals by participating in feelings of ‘positivity’.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize that by trying to avoid negativity and only see/experience/think positivity, that I am still participating in the same system which creates and supports negativity.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize that to ‘be positive’ requires that I have adequate food, shelter, water, healthcare, and all that is required to live functionally here as a physical being, otherwise my experience of myself will be of suffering due to a lack of what my physical requires, and thus I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not consider that to even entertain the notion that I can experience only positivity means that I also must have all my needs met sufficiently, which 2/3 of the world’s population don’t, thus I am not even considering everyone here within suggesting that one can have a positive experience by simply changing the way one thinks and acts.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that I’ll create a better world by ‘being positive’, and not considering that I am not actually doing anything to make real change in the world or myself.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to think if I ‘focus on ‘good’ things’ this will improve my world and my relationships, not considering that if I am only ‘focusing on ‘good’ things’, that I am ignoring that which I’ve defined as ‘not good/bad/negative’, and thus how can I expect that those aspects of my life/the world will change if I am not actually investigating them, finding the cause,  and taking action to change them.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that positivity can exist without negativity, not realizing that one cannot exist without the other, as one side of the polarity depends on the other to exist.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe if I just look at the ‘positive side’ of things that this will actually change myself for the better.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize that by seeing things in a ‘positive light’ is actually deluding myself, as I am convincing myself to view it in a certain way, and have certain thoughts about it, and not simply seeing things as they actually are.

What happens when we are positive about something? Basically, we try to see it as a ‘good’ thing, in disregard of what it actually is, which is not negative or positive, because those are only value judgments that are applied onto the thing/event/situation that is being evaluated, thus the thing itself is not positive or negative, but it is a value we assign place on top of the actual thing.

By assigning a positive or negative value to something, what we’re doing is setting ourselves up for what kind of reaction we’ll have to it – if we have assigned a positive value, we’ll experience a positive reaction, if we’ve assigned it a negative value, we have a negative reaction. The positive reaction and negative reaction are experienced as feelings and emotions within the human physical body. These feelings/emotions are activated by the mind consciousness system which activates chemical changes that take place in the body, based on the cues it has been given, by the being’s participation in a positive or negative reaction to something. Thus, by allowing these positive/negative reactions to be triggered, one is manipulating the chemical system of their own body to produce the feeling or emotion. This utilize the substance of the human physical body, which the body must then try to find a way to replenish itself. 

So this participation in positive and negative reactions to things actually drains the physical and puts it into a survival mode, where it’s busy coping the best it can throughout your whole life, within the literal up and down rollercoaster ride we are putting it through, as positivity/negativity puppets that react to things according to the pre-coded values assigned to them, and the body deteriorates due to such lifelong abuse until it cannot take anymore.

Now let’s look at the concept of ‘being positive’ and avoiding ‘negativity’. The concept seeks to change one’s inner experience to one of constant positivity by attempting to only have positive feeling experiences inside oneself. How this works is by trying to assign a positive value to everything. Where one ‘try to see everything in a positive light’. However, what’s not realized, is that since negative reactions are experienced as a result of having assigned a value to something as negative which triggers a negative chemical reaction within the body, in order to not experience a negative chemical reaction, you would have to deconstruct all your value definitions of where and to what you have assigned a negative value, which you have created and programmed over your whole lifetime, thus will take years of processing by actually investigating and walking your entire mind system, layer by layer, to uncover and deconstruct each and every definition of polarity you are living as, and then no longer live as it. Thus it’s a practical process that one must walk constantly and consistently. To see how this done check the Desteni I Process.

Now, the system of negativity/positivity is a polarity system, and what that means is it has two sides that cannot exist without each other. How this works, within the human physical body for example, is the more positive reactions one participates, the more of a drain there is on the physical human body, and eventually the body will not be able to produce anymore of the good feeling chemicals, and will  need to recharge, which will be experienced as going into a ‘slump’, or feeling ‘depressed’ – thus you can’t have the positive feeling experiences without also creating negative feeling experiences. Within the design itself, when you assign a positive value to something, you also create a negative value, and vice versa. For example, if you decide small noses are ‘beautiful’,  which is a positive value assignment, and that large noses are thus ‘not as beautiful’ – thus, the moment you define a certain form of something here in reality as ‘more’ and define the other forms as ‘less’, you’ve created a polarity. Thus, you will have a positive feeling experience toward the thing you have defined as ‘beautiful’/positive, and a negative reaction toward the opposite manifestation.
Thus it’s actually not possible to have only positive or only negative definitions and feeling experiences. So, in order to stop oneself from having negative reactions to things in your world, require that you stop participation in both positivity and negativity.

So, in the understanding of how the system of positivity and negativity works within the human physical body, you can see that trying to stick to having positive feeling reactions only, is going to put an exceptional load of stress on one’s physical body and produce all sorts of side effects as the body tries to cope, and of course one will not be able to only have positive feeling experiences all the time, as the body can only produce so much good feeling chemical for so long. And in order to stop having negative experiences, one has to identify and delete both the negative and positive preprogramming.

I commit myself to deconstructing the polarity system within me that I have been existing as, as negativity and positivity, through walking a daily process of self investigation to identify when/where I accept and allow myself to participate in the polarity of positivity/negativity, so that I can stop and free myself from preprogrammed reactions, so that I can live here constant and stable as myself, see things as they are, and not cause unnecessary harm to my physical body.
