Thank you for your thoughtful comment...Hi Natalie, <br />Thank you for your thoughtful comment. <br />Yes I am one of those people who really gets right into the movie, its part of what I enjoy so much. <br />Really I think that humans are not supposed to see graphic violence real or not. but I am willing to examine the idea that my view point could change. I had not thought that It could be any other way, or that it could be a shadow of me...<br />I did enjoy the article, thankyou.Klara Darling-Swannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01375240558269473066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8896524408088703356.post-52514692003930474262012-01-10T21:36:02.681+00:002012-01-10T21:36:02.681+00:00I have really enjoyed reading your blog this past ...I have really enjoyed reading your blog this past week and feel moved to comment for the first time:<br /><br />"how does the brain discern between what is "real" and what is "staged" when both things enter through the senses"<br />In my opinion, it depends on where your point of consciousness is and what emotions are evoked. If you perceive yourself as one of the characters in the movie, you can feel the heat and smell the dust they are experiencing, feel as if you *are* them, not just watching them, your brain will discern it as real to you. Most people have their own fears, excitement, etc for themselves evoked by a movie, their brains don't interpret it as their own real experience or file it away as their own memory.<br /><br />That's why visualization and affirmations don't work for many people, they don't immerse themselves in the experience with all of their senses AND their emotions so that their brains really believe it. John Assaraf is great to read about how the brain and reality creation works from a physical level if you're interested in the subject.<br /><br />Maybe you have, as part of your internalized 'story', something that says that seeing negative images in TV or movies is detrimental to you, and that fear of encountering them has as much to do with a nightmare as that one image? Maybe the reaction to that scene points to a shadow aspect that is ready to come out into the light and be transformed? I believe that the movie only catalyses our own emotions and programmes, it doesn't create them.<br /><br />I read a great article yesterday that you might enjoy:<br />http://thedailylove.com/meet-your-shadow/<br />Even though I have worked with this for years, it still had some lovely insights for me.<br /><br />All interesting food for thought! Got me thinking anyway :-)<br /><br />Thank you for your blog. I love the ideas you have been sharing :-)Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16359851716755199565noreply@blogger.com
