I finally got around to watching these two films. Grab them yourself (at no charge) if you’re curious, or at all interested in expanding your mind. If nothing else, to gain different perspective…
I’ve been putting it off for months. I’ve heard others speak of the films, promote it passionately, and knew it’d be something I’d very likely relate to. What’s interesting is that things continue to unfold in my life that relate to these films more than I could have realized. So, it’s cool, and eerie at the same time. But mostly fascinating.
One thing I was certain of is that when I did watch them, it’d stir things up, and most likely in a strongly negative way. However, given the past few years of my life and what I’ve done to uproot a lot of old, inhibiting ways, I’ve found that it’s much easier to have a temperance with these “heavy” and society-shifting ideas. Quite honestly, the overriding feeling I have now after 4 hours of ingesting these films is: “well, duh! I’ve been feeling, saying, figuring these very ideas for a number of years now…”
The second film, Addendum, is one I quiet literally could have written and created myself. A lot of it felt like I had in fact penned the script. That being said, it’s quite a different experience to see and hear concepts, ideas and outright blunt representation coming at you. It’s gratifying in a way to see that there are real projects and real movements ongoing in an effort to take our human experience to the next, and in my opinion most obvious level. That being said, it ain’t no small task. Things are right messed up right now. But even that’s OK because it’s creating that ever-important contrast with which we clarify our next, highest desires in our lives. We know much more easily what we DO want, when we’re finally clear on what we DON’T want.
You look at the world, and it’s amazing. Physically, the planet is mind-boggling in it’s efficiency and expanse. Then you get these human animals muddling about, not entirely hopeless, but quite foolish and terrible at getting along. There comes a time when things are bound to shift because events take place, and consciousness can’t help but nudge us forward.
