The problem with Hollywood is not its "addiction" to, or peddling of, drama. ALL lasting literature worth anything is full of conflict and drama and plays on the themes of light and dark, good and evil. The problem with Hollywood is its narcissism, its perversion of the hero narrative, its selling the idea that we can be god. In another paragraph, Caitlin talks about evolution of consciousness, another Luciferian concept - the notion that we can evolve beyond our human nature and into a state of "just being." This is ultimate folly and leads to our ruin. NOTHING can change our human nature, our consciousness is human consciousness and we can never have anything but a human nature and a human consciousness, just as a cat can only ever have a cat nature, and so on. Self knowledge, mastery over oneself . . . grace . . . this is the duty, this is the human project. And why should I be pointing out the obvious? Because the trends in progressive circles are tending towards control of thought, language and behaviour, towards radical notions of retooling human nature, of scapegoating so much of culture and tradition . . . it's madness! turtleman
