Introduction to film as myth

Film is fun, a chance to escape and a chance to release the mind from its daily concerns, would you agree?
Film is also a great medium to explore social issues, more than that though I suggest that film is increasingly becoming one of the dynamic components in the way the world manifests.
The ability of modern film today to capture and stretch our imagination is a major contributor to the world’s mythological bedrock—I am talking about the imagination. The human imagination is the most powerful aspect of our creativity. Imagination is both a receiver as well as a transmitter. Imagination is both personal but also merges in the unconscious with all other peoples.
Film sculpts the collective imagination and competes with news media to condition our internal dictionary of images and stories. The manifest world we experience as individuals and as a society is largely a result of the individual and collective imagination.
Vision precedes manifestation, our personal stories or myths come to be life experienced or at least major determiners of the world we encounter.
The films of today are sophisticated and visually compelling, that visual power bypasses a lot of rational filters and gets in easier past the censors of our normal ego boundaries, as we relax and let go to escape ‘reality’ when we watch a film.

Film has played a huge part in my research; I have notebooks full of data. I watch loads of films and always research the astrological message of each film I watch based on the public release date.

The articles I put up on this blog are intended to be fun, but also I hope to evoke the sense of the incredible revelation that one can get from films concerning the evolving consciousness of the human species.
