Moreover, shakeups like this can help to make us aware of our inherent multidimensional selves, drawing attention to capabilities that have been lying dormant within us and that we never knew existed. This becomes apparent in the film, for example, when Quaid discovers his previously unknown commando tactics, skills he didn’t know he possessed but that certainly came in handy when circumstances warranted.

Life is continuously changing, it is a flow. Habits are stagnant. The more you are surrounded by habits, the more you are closed to life. You don’t have any communication with life; you go on repeating your habits. They don’t fit. They are not the right response to the situation, to the moment.

READ: Fresh starts showcased in the film ‘Marigold Hotel’
by Brent Marchant May 11, 2012Many of us have come to fear change, that the disappearance of the familiar will leave us sad, disoriented or less well off than we’ve grown accustomed to being. But it need not be that way at all. Change just means doing something differently, and it doesn’t automatically equate to things being worse than they have been; it could indeed be the start of something far better than we could have possibly imagined but that we have not previously permitted to materialize.

READ: Hopes, fears probed in ‘The Hunger Games’ by Brent Marchant
by Brent Marchant April 6, 2012It can be easy to let our fears get the best of us. And it can be even harder to shake them once we allow them to settle in and become comfortable. But rising above these self-imposed limitations is crucial if ever we hope to get by in life, even under the most trying of circumstances, a notion explored in the new cinematic blockbuster, “The Hunger Games.”

READ: ‘Extremely Loud…’ proves incredibly unsatisfying
by Brent Marchant January 27, 2012To be sure, there are some conscious creation themes explored in the film, most notably those related to facing fears, examining unexplored probabilities, understanding the nature of the reality we experience, embracing change by letting go and appreciating the inherent connectedness of all things. However, the passing and often-haphazard treatment they receive reminds viewers of just how many other pictures are out there that handle these subjects much more deftly and substantively.

READ: The Only Question that Matters in 2012 by Shasta Townsend
by Shasta January 18, 2012We are living in a zone of change in 2012. We are beginning the 5th world age according to many ancient prophecies including the Mayans. According to the Mayans there is a window of time that is called the zone of change and it is from 1980-2016. That’s when we can expect and see a lot of change. We are halfway though that window. We are already living the prophecy.

Sergio Jimenez Campos wanted to change the world. Quite an aspiring task and definitely something most of us dream of doing, yet a lot of work to take on for one man. From the beautiful country of Costa Rica, Sergio would search the internet, looking for peace projects that he could get involved in. After posting a few of his beliefs of peace on a blog, Gordon Millar from Scotland read and felt that Sergio would be a perfect co-founder and co-creator for The Global We. With a diverse set of individuals, Gordon and his team were convinced that people can join from all over the world to discuss ways and implement systems to make the world a better place. Along with Martin Aelred from Scotland, Kumud Singh from India and Cat Forsley from Canada, the Global We was born.

‘Ides of March’ critically surveys the political landscape
by Brent Marchant October 28, 2011Political considerations aside, as conscious creation practitioners know, contradiction is one of three factors (along with fear and/or doubt) that prevents the materialization process from happening. It involves sending mixed signals to our divine collaborator, which is unable to carry out its part of the process due to the conflicting nature of its instructions. It’s like asking for the manifestation of something that’s simultaneously all red and all green, a physical impossibility in our reality given the belief structure upon which our existence is based.

Flamboyant Change
by Jacquelyn September 10, 2011I can promise you that there’s something very freeing about cutting off all of your hair but I know it’s not for everyone. This was my way of expressing inner change. I invite you look deeply and see what changes you are ready to make then, honor them in your own way. Write them down, even if it’s only for you to see. Get rid of clutter that you don’t need. Wear a colour the old you would never wear.
