Films, television and acceleration:

What if dark side film and television creations are 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 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, Kindred:

The Embraced and Tales from the Crypt) have been explorations of The Void and our fears?

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?
