My son and I have loved Leonardo DiCaprio, for his acting depth since THIS BOY'S LIFE
I raised my son Jonn Ryane by myself and even now that he is 28 we still have basically the same taste when it comes to excellence in the media arts. Perhaps it was being raised by a hippie mom and part time hippie dad who was a music promoter. Wearing baby tour shirts made especially for him, he was conceived at the end of the Bat Out Of Hell tour and born during Dr. Hook. After his dad and I split when he was 1 1/2 we were glued at the hip until he was 13 when it all changed and he wouldn't even walk down the street with me. I believe it has to do with that coming of age time that is part of every culture on earth. In aboriginal cultures it is celebrated, here we just ignore it.. but truth is our boys find it uncomfortable being so close to their mother's when they are going through puberty and pull away.
My son and I have a tradition, we try to go to a movie we both really want to see on Christmas Day. As hippies we were never materially oriented or into the commercialism of Christmas so it was perfect for us. I missed that this year as I am in Arizona and he is working his ass off in Toronto with his start up Internet Commercials biz VIDEO DISTRICT. But a few years ago he spent Christmas with me in Orillia, Ontario and we went to see THE AVIATOR and loved it so much.
I am watching THE DEPARTED again and only for Leo (and a little Jack) and his intensity. Intensity that he has always had it seems.
Now that this still young man has mastered his craft and he is able to maintain a level of excellence in his acting career as well as turn his intensity and passion to something he believes in personally, the saving of our Mother Earth for the generations that follow, I am even more in awe of him. When you see him here talking about his documentary The 11th Hour he looks so sweet it is hard to see the depths of his intensity but you feel it.
I am studying one of The Secret's recommended courses "Acting For Real" in learning how to write your own script for your own life, star in it and direct it. In quantum physics it is maintaining control over your matrix or creating what you want in your world by focusing on it. When you act out the character you want to become in your life you become it. It has given me some insight into what actors must go through in their heads when they embed the characters they play into their neural-nets. Some, like I believe Leo, can embrace it, control it, handle it and direct it where he wants it to go. That takes a lot of work and concentration and I applaud his efforts and all those who have succeeded at focus, determination , success and excellence in their lives they are an inspiration to me.
At the beginning of the movie Next Nicholas Cage says "Here's the thing about the future, every time you look at it, it changes..because you looked at it and that changes everything else." This is one of the principles of quantum physics and it is called the "observer effect". All the books and videos mentioned here can be purchased at Amazon.ca for Canadians on the store link on my website http://www.ryaneinc.com .
Here's the trailer:
I have been studying Dr. Fred Alan Wolf's books "Mind into Matter" and "Matter into Feeling" with the Center for Human Development's Speakers Team on On Eagles Wings webcast radio every Tuesday (4:30 est) for almost a year . We go over every line and journal on all of it until we get it. I am still working with this but I think it is time to share what I have learned and if anyone disagrees please make a comment, I would welcome it. I have also been studying Native American Spirituality with Grandmother Pa'Ris'Ha for 20 years now, 10 of those she has been getting us to dig into Quantum Physics as we believe it is the scientific explanation for Shamanism (Dr. Wolf agrees with her).
So here is what I got from last Tuesdays call with Grandmother Pa'Ris'Ha and again this is my truth stemming from what I "perceived". I am not going into the quantum mechanics of it, I will let Dr. Wolf and the rest handle that I am just putting it into a "meat and potatoes" style for practical application.
Nothing is created without it first having been a thought, so everything "out there" comes from "in here" or is tied to the mind. This is explained very well in the movie The Secret (watch free online) although it focuses on just one quantum principle the "law of attraction" or what we think we attract. In fact it is what we think, therefore what we "see" that we create. This is what is meant by us being Co-Creators with God.
There are so many possibilities to every outcome it is only by our choice, our perception or how we "see" a situation as to what that outcome will be. There are many players in this world and those who have a stronger "intent" regarding a certain experience will win out over those who have a doubt in their mind. So if you want a positive outcome for yourself you have to become obsessed with that outcome. Journal on it, visualize it, write it into your own personal life script and believe that because you "thought it" it has already happened, in the future on its own time loop. Like the secret says don't worry about the how because when the molecules are mixing it up and forming in this 3rd dimension there is always the possibility of a different outcome if you "change your mind" so just be patient and move forward with that goal/outcome, put action behind it and believe it.
We now move from the brain to the spirit, the "Observer", the one we should be listening to all the time. It's that voice inside the one who is trying to teach us. The movie What The Bleep presents this better than I can (you should watch it if only for the wedding scene, which is hysterical) Unfortunately our brains have been programmed (for more information watch this series of videos from Quantum Factor with Dr. Joe Dispenza on google), and we have some very unhealthy automatic response patterns to certain situations. It happens so fast you end up saying "how could i have been so stupid" and "what was i thinking". Bingo! We were not thinking. We were making unconsciousness choices on what to "look for". The Scientologists call them "engrams", I think it is like little movies or scenes during times of trauma that get burned into our memories, forming neurons into a strong pattern that reacts every time you get into a similar situation. I believe that is what their "auditing" program is about, to clear you of that old programming so you can actually respond to life from your true authentic self.
Its like you can be so smart in many areas of your life but in this one particular situation, every time it comes up, and it keeps cycling back...you handle it badly. We make bad choices because we were not paying close enough attention to the situation. What was going on? Who was directing this scene? What were the other players intentions and what pattern from the past are we responding from? When we make a bad choice many people, myself included, actually feel themselves as if they are outside of the body watching this stupid thing that we are doing as if detached. Its because the Observer does not want any part of it. The only thing you can do then is to go over it again and again and analyze it literally to death. That way each time you figure out another piece of the puzzle as to why you would do such a thing you are actually taking a different perspective therefore "seeing" it differently therefore, creating a new memory, changing it and your future. Otherwise you are doomed to repeat it unless you clear yourself of it.
Dr. Wolf says memories are created by repetition so we have to choose a new "role" in that scene and work it, practice it, write it out, visualize doing it right then the new memories will take over next time the situation "arises". The old response patterns will vanish but will still be there as memories. So when we start to focus our attention on everything that is being created around us, by ourselves and by others, we can catch ourselves and stop the destructive patterns earlier. There is always a choice. If we can spend more time with ourselves in quiet meditation and "engage the observer" that is talk to that "higher self" we will be in closer contact with our true selves, our spirits and stop sabotaging our efforts.
We have to keep reminding ourselves that we are spiritual beings in a human body and that we can control our brains/thoughts and therefore our world and that will change the world around us because we saw it.
Here is Dr. Joe talking on "Creating Your Day" from the movie What the Bleep.
My favorite network series is Journeyman (click on title for the link). It is a quantum physics storyline (think new version of Quantum Leap) with romantic and profound layers and I love every single one. I love Heroes, Lost and Life and thats about it for network televison for me (except of course for the young and the restless who i admit shamelessly has had me hooked since grade school i think).
I have been in Vegas now for ...I don't even know how many days now..and the only places I have been outside of my rv....is some houses in the real estate market, the rv repair shop, the wal-mart across the street and the beautiful waterfall show at the little casino here that my "born-again Christian" rv neighbor took me to on his dinner comp...I am not even going to go into that one except to say he really assisted me in "engaging the actress" in me who has so much confidence in her own beliefs and the voice within who kept asking me "what would Grandmother do"..I took on the challenge instead of wishing it would go away.
I Have expressed the desire to one day become a "mini me Elder" and shying away from someone who aggressively tries to convert someone to their side would not be what my Elder would do. So because I am still working on clearing my "engrams" (Scientology) or re-wiring my old neuro-nets or past negative patterns (What The Bleep http://www.whatthebleep.com/ , Dr. Joe Dispensa http://www.drjoedispenza.com/), and the actual scientific explanation of how we create every single thing in our lives by Dr. Fred Allen Wolf's books Mind into Matter and Matter into Feeling http://www.fredalanwolf.com/ and my new ongoing study "Acting for Real http://wealthvibes.blogspot.com/2007/10/acting-for-real.html I stood firm ..and continued my medicine.. I prayed over every plate of food from the buffet even though he could not belive I would thank the food for its giveaway and confirm that I would transform the energy and put it to good use, or that Mary Magdelene was not a whore. and I made these comments with gentleness and convicition and was surprised by the obvious "taken aback" stance..so I saw how to stand in the light and not be afraid ....
Anyway of course I get my favorite Yellow Tail wine here for like $4.79 !!! in Canada its $11.99... soooo unfair.. but it does help me blog!!!
