I don't know if there is any actors here... I am an actress and I was wondering if enlightement is possible when you are in that profession. I always felt it helps me to understand other people, it expandes my mind. But lately I am having to act an scene where I am kidnaped and raped. So I have to focus on very negative emotions of fear, rage... and I have to feel it for real to make the audience believe it too. At the same time I am reading books which says that in order to be truly enlightened you need to get ride of all negative emotions. Then... without any negative emotion I couldnt be an actress because any story is just about just happiness. On the other side... I am very happy with what I do, and of course the emotions I express I feel it for real but arent actually something I have on my real life. So it doesnt get stock inside of me. Also it makes me realize about how unreal our negative emotions are. I don't know if someone here can understand that it may sound weird if you never acted professionally. I will be happy to hear answers from anyone , actor or not! Blessings for all of you IP: Logged |

Quite the opposite. I think it can be cathartic. Just leave it behind you when you aren't acting. IP: Logged |

It might cause a temporary rise in blood pressure, though. And you might want to say CANCEL, CANCEL after a negative session of acting.IP: Logged |

Yes! I thought about it too! Sometimes scripts are full of very very bad words! So... does it give a marc to the ethers? In my script I have to say phrases like wishing some people will die and hard things like that. I was just thinking about it the other day. It would be very necessary to say CANCEL! Since I read that in Linda's book I stoped saying ' tomorrow I am gonna be sleepy' or ' It wont go well I cant do it' And I am surprise about the powerfull effect it has.
Lots of things went way better in my life just because I said with conviction ' I think we will do it amazing' and it happened. I think that is something Aries people naturally have. That kind of conviction. I am not Aries but I admire that from them. Sorry, going back to the topic, yes I think I should say cancel after a hard scene. But I think also sad scenes are beautifull because somehow it represents all aspects of being human. IP: Logged |

When we casually say things thinking nothing of it, our subconscious believes it. When acting, I think our subconscious knows the difference. Actors are a special breed. IP: Logged |

Thanks Mirage your answers are always so amazing and complete! I really aprecciate it! Sorry I haven't check this lately bcs I was traveling. Wow you spoke about lots of things! I loved it all. So... about salt himalayan lamps yes I have a lot of them at home, it brings very good energy. About christian believes, I did have chirstian believes in the past, very strongly , even if my family are not religious at all. In fact I enetered a convent when I was 18 , and lived there for a year. But then I didnt feel I fit there and I got disapointed with some things so after it I got into hindusim a lot and started yoga and meditation practises. That is what I do now, but still when I am very overwhelmed by emotion its difficult for me to pray or to meditate. About scorpion in my astral chart, I do have a lot of influence of scorpion, yes. I am so curious why did you ask? Also I have something which I think its kind of bad but I am not sure, I have scorpion in the 5th house and also in pluton. Something like that. I did my chart long ago and I remember that. Also I have some ' conjunciones' (sorry I dont know that word in english but must ve similar) with scorpion I dont remember which ones eheh... About music, its so so interesting what you say. I always felt that some of the music you hear in the clubs or in the stores it poisons you somehow. I thought it was a crazy thought of mine. But really some of the most listened music nowadays, like... for example some Rihanna's songs ( sorry for her she is a great singer) but her music sometimes really makes so sad in a weird way. Also other music like that. And I also feel that some.movies and tv poisons you a litle bit too. Like that cheap movies where everything is solved by killing someone or where the characters kill people all the time. I dont know I feel those things even if its something small it ends up having an effect on your mind maybe if you watch those things often. What do you think? Big hugg for you

Oh and about mantras, I feel I want to start using it, I dont bcs I do a meditation which is suposed to be without mantra, but maybe I can just add it on my own! By the way if you like the spiritual effect music does on us, I recomend you the music from Taize comunaute, its a place in France, its really amazing. Chekc it! IP: Logged |

Hi Mirage! Dont worry at all I am so busy too at the moment! Also I don't check this very often so don't worry take your time! I am 24 and my sun is in Sagitarius moon in Cancer. I was with Saint Andre comunity, they are Jesuits. Very nice people. But even if I still have some friendships from there I am not so much in contact with the whole group as I needed to explore other things on my own. Good luck with your job!

By the way if you were in a contemplative order you definetely have to check that music and that place in france its truly amazing. But I guess you live in the US so its too far. But check it if you ever go to Europe! IP: Logged |
