| My Film Festival Initiation (or, Confessions of a Film Festival Virgin) | | 2008-04-05 20:04:00 | | Here I am, 31 years old and a self-labled "movie buff" (yeah, I know), and yet I had not been to a film festival up until 10 days ago. Via an email sent to Mrs. Fletch, we heard about the 7th Annual Arizona Black Film Showcase. The purpose of the email was not only to inform people about the event, but also to recruit for volunteers. So we decided to do it.After helping with set up for a youth boot camp prior to the weekend, we got our complimentary passes to attend the screenings. We went Friday night and saw several films, with the standouts being Ballou to Chiles to Swine, Liquor & White Women. It's safe to say that our favorite was Chiles, a 20-minute comedy short about the struggles of meeting future in-laws and the first impressions people have of different cultures.On Saturday, we were scheduled to volunteer some more, and we each got our respective duties. Mrs. Fletch's job was to be an "usher," standing outside one of the theaters and helping the viewers figure out what wa | | By: Blog Cabins | | |
| | Circuit Of Initiation | | 2007-12-12 12:57:00 | | ג' בטבת תשס"חGrael 4Elisheva's recent livejournal post on magical-mystical initiation energies (Power, Knowledge, Integration) prompted me to consider my own thoughts about the energy dynamics of mystical-magical initiation processes. This is what I think:I agree with the general concept that energy dynamics are part of any mystical-magical initiatory process, and that the "initiation energy" needs to be integrated and processed by the student-initiate, who is more likely than the teacher-initiator (who also must integrate and process the initiation energy) to not be able to handle as well as the more experienced teacher the newly released energy born of an initiatory process.For example, when I returned to Torah in 1996 and went to the mikveh, part of the ritual involved a release of energy possibly catalyzed through the blessing of the Kohen who "initiated" me. Nevertheless, I don't think initiation energies are simply transfers of energy from teacher to student.I think t | | By: Walking On Fire | | |

The accelerated times in which we live beckon us to expand our notions of who we are and what is possible, urging us to make the quantum leap into our magnificence, and offer the gifts of our potential to a world that deeply needs our healing participation.The maidenhead of innocencemust be brokenfor the deeper mysteries to be enacted,for life and consciousness to be reborn.Conception only happensin the darkness of the earth,of the womb, of the psyche.- Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee... .. ... .Paradoxes of LoveWhether you are a creative artist, a social visionary, a teacher, a heal | | By: Inspirations and Creative Thoughts | | |
| | A Frog Goes to New Hampshire Part 4, or Mensa Initiation Day | | 2007-03-06 18:58:53 | | If there’s one thing I am, well, right now I’m feeling a bit peckish, but that’s not really what I mean. I mean in a longer term sense, if there’s one thing I am, it’s… although I do seem to be peckish a lot of the time. OK, so in a longer term sense I’d be a connoisseur of all things dessert. But that has nothing to do with this post. Now then, in a more relevant sense, if there’s one thing I am, it’s a periodic video game junkie. An insomniac. A musician. Easily frustrated sometimes but really patient at other times. A teacher. A ski monster wannabe. A writer. A bit insecure. Good at matching paint colors to give your room that special look you’re after. Afraid of sharks. Geez, this is tough. You try figuring out what you are in one word. You have to be some kind of… wait a minute! That’s it! In one word, I’m a genius, though I’d prefer to, in the footsteps of an | | By: The Frog Bog | | |
