Films, Television and Spiritual Acceleration – Resources for Writing
Your Own Screenplay or Creating Your Own Film
Deep Space Nine, Power Rangers, X-Files, Nowhere Man…
…Sliders, Third Rock from the Sun, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Star Wars, E.T., Jurassic Park, Jumanji,
Touched by an Angel, Para-Normal Borderline, Unsolved Mysteries, Twilight Zone, Alien Nation, Cocoon, Starman, Star
Trek, Early Edition, Strange Luck…
What if all these film and television creations were the result of writers who channel divine energies?
What if each one released information via “entertainment,” so that the concept of considering the implausible,
the mystical, the metaphysical, was slowly formulated within the minds of the millions of people who watched them?
What if science fiction novels and comics have been doing similar educational and conditioning work, slowly expanding
perception and introducing new awareness?
What if the fright-filled novels of Stephen King (and subsequent films and televisions series that results from
his writings) and other authors, along with horror films like…
… Friday the 13th, Hellraiser, The Frighteners, the Alien series, Independence Day, Near Dark, Kiss of the Vampire
etc. (as well as “dark side” television shows like Dark Shadows, American Gothic, Buffy, the Vampire Slayer,
Kindred: The Embraced and Tales from the Crypt )…
…have been explorations of The Void and our fears? On the topic of dark side teachings, my two favorite Stephen
King textbooks would have to be:
- The
Stand - The
Green Mile
If you haven’t read them, I recommend both highly as spiritual tools for deeper understanding of the dark side in
us all.
When a group of people come together in the dark womb of a movie theater, to experience an alternate reality together,
significant energy gets shifted. A spontaneous burst of laughter, from two hundred people connecting with a point
of humor at exactly the same time and in close proximity to each other, generates a healing capacity that is quite
sizable.
Two hundred movie-goers simultaneously screaming in terror creates a cleansing and clearing energy vortex – a collective
release of fear reactions in the group energy field.
It is liberating to face one’s nightmares, even if only in the safety of the darkened cinema. While the screams
are triggered by the on-screen stimulus, they also trigger individual release of genuine fear, as well. Each person
there, depending on their particular fear grid, can receive lessening of fear tensions if they allow it to happen.
When an audience is collectively moved to tears, by the mistreatment of a character in the film, a new empathy is
born and shared. While the tears, on the surface, seem to be triggered by the level of acting on the screen, they
are, in fact, triggered by actual life similarities within the audience members. There is empathy and a transference
of emotional energy. A theater group who has shared an emotional film journey together has also shared many other
levels of awareness during the course of the film, spiritually.
They have reestablished spiritual ties, balanced past lives, changed perceptions, released old patterns, come to
new awareness, and activated gridlines of connectedness with the other audience members. They have gotten to know
each other, through the medium of shared experience. It is probable that these same people, attracted by the energy
of certain films, will interact in a darkened theater again, at another movie. Perhaps, next time, they will choose
to speak at the refreshment counter, or walking toward their cars. Perhaps, they will bring this shared experience
into a more conscious level between them.
One enlightened being, in the midst of any crowded theater, can accelerate the group consciousness of the entire
audience, simply by tuning in to the journey that particular group has chosen to take together. This is accomplished
by focus on the message, characters, emotional tone, and energy level of the film itself, and serving as an active
channel for the highest aspects of those energies.
This same channeling is possible, of course, at any common gathering and can be equally powerful during church services,
natural disaster relief efforts, activist demonstrations, or waiting in line at the unemployment service. A group
comes together for a common and known experience, but receives another, more spiritual experience, as well. This
is always true. The only question is whether we will be consciously involved in the higher level experience, and
thus receive all the new awareness that can result, or simply leave with a vague feeling of missing something perhaps,
something vital?
