Some (little known) facts, and Marilyn and Vampira, Movies
In the hazy twilight of Hollywood’s golden age, there emerged a star who burned brighter and faster than any before him. James Dean wasn’t just an actor; he was a symbol of teenage rebellion, a brooding enigma who captured the hearts of audiences worldwide.
With his tousled hair and smoldering gaze, Dean brought a raw intensity to the screen that was unmatched. Whether he was tearing through the streets in “Rebel Without a Cause” or racing towards destiny in “East of Eden,” Dean’s performances were a testament to his unparalleled talent.
But it wasn’t just his acting that made James Dean an icon—it was his attitude. He lived life on the edge, defying convention at every turn. From his love of fast cars to his disdain for authority, Dean embodied the spirit of a generation searching for meaning in a world that seemed increasingly chaotic.
Tragically, Dean’s flame was extinguished far too soon, snuffed out in a fatal car crash at the tender age of 24. Yet, his legacy endures, a timeless reminder of the power of youth, rebellion, and the unyielding pursuit of authenticity.
As we look back on the life of James Dean, we’re reminded of the fleeting nature of fame and the enduring impact of those who dare to live life on their own terms. He may have been gone too soon, but his spirit lives on in every rebel with a cause, keeping the flame of defiance burning bright for generations to come.
He had problems with his family. Dean was born on February 8, 1931, in Marion, Indiana. After becoming a dentist, Dean’s father Winton moved the family to Santa Monica, California, from farming. But the family fell apart after Dean’s mother passed away from cervical cancer when he was just 9 years old. The beginning of the father-son rift that would last for the rest of their lives occurred when his father sent him back to live on his aunt and uncle’s Quaker farm in Indiana.
He admired Marlon Brando. Marlon Brando was another moody performer of the era whom Dean admired. The somewhat older Brando, who won an Oscar for On the Waterfront (1954), had great success as Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), his iconic part as a motorcycle gang leader in The Wild One (1953), while Dean was just starting out in Hollywood. Dean made an effort to get in touch with Brando and go out with him, but Brando turned down Dean’s advances. “He went after I gave him the name of a [psycho]analyst. Brando remarked, “At least his work improved.”
Dean enjoyed making magic tricks. Dean enjoyed practicing magic tricks in his spare time, aside from acting and racing automobiles. Dean, a tobacco addict who was frequently pictured with a cigarette hanging from his mouth, gave his smoking habit a magical twist. He would light an unlit cigarette, insert a flame match into his mouth, and then take out a burning cigarette. Just another cause why Dean was so hot.
Dean and Marilyn Monroe
Did James Dean and Marilyn Monroe star in a movie together?
The only movie Marilyn Monroe and James Dean appeared in together (via archive footage) was called “Elvis: Return to Tupelo”, which wasn’t released until 2008, when both actors had long been deceased (Marilyn died in 1962 at age 36, while James died in 1955 at age 24).8.8.2015
It is told, that they had a brief acquaintance and maybe were romantic on some weekend at some cottage-or not. They seem to be rumours more than facts in the internet.
Dean and Vampira, Maila Nurmi
But the dating with a finnish actress Maila Nurmi,Vampira, was really a thing. He was mesmerized of her. They spent time together at Googies Coffee Shop on the corner of Crescent Heights and Sunset Blvd in Hollywood.
Talking about their bond, she said, “We have the same neuroses”.
This issue of the Scandal magazine Whisper was published in February 1956, a little more than four months after Dean’s tragic car accident. They said that Maila nNurmi was “Black Madonna” that many held responsible for Dean’s demise. BUT Vampira actress was not an active occult practitioner as it is told In a 1962 memoir with a chapter on Dean. Hedda Hopper said, “We talked about the slender-cheeked actress who goes by Vampira on TV. He declared: “I was curious to know if this girl was possessed by a demonic force because I had studied The Golden Bough and the Marquis de Sade.” She was completely ignorant. She seemed to me to be uninterested in everything save her Vampira makeup. She lacks absolutes.
Movies
Throughout his career, the young actor only appeared in three films: Rebel Without a Cause (1955), in which he played an angst-ridden adolescent, East of Eden (1955), in which he played the bad boy brother in a retelling of the story of Cain and Abel, and Giant (1956), in which he took on the role of a nonconformist ranch hand. Though only one of his films, East of Eden, was finished, all of them went on to become Hollywood masterpieces. Deans acting methods were somewhat annoying to some other actors who said why doesn’t he just state the lines. They didn’t understand what he was thriving for. But at the end, the cinema business was greatly influenced by James Dean’s distinctive acting style, method acting which was characterized by emotional vulnerability, naturalism, and a rebellious attitude.
I love scifi movies and movies with some lovestory that is BIGGER THAN LIFE and what else is bigger than love beyond time or even.. death?
If you love these movies too, here are mind challenging, intriguing, fascinating and of course, so very romantic stories, some more than others though..
Let’s start with 80’s movie (a great scifi, fantasy and what ever category movie year)
LouieJeffries is happily married to Corinne. On their first anniversary, Louie is killed crossing the road. Louie is reincarnated as Alex Finch, and twenty years later, fate brings Alex and Louie’s daughter, Miranda, together.
Then off to a 90’s film (1998 by the way, just switching the numbers 8 and 9 here… )
After dying in a car crash a widowed man searches the afterlife for his wife.
I think this is very spiritual and I’ve read about people beeing in this kind of place in the hypnosis, where they can go to life before this life, in the between.
A romantic drama about a Chicago librarian with a gene that causes him to involuntarily time travel, and the complications it creates for his marriage.
Now then there is a movie I loved as I started to realize what the story is about really.
An exploration of how the actions of individual lives impact one another in the past, present and future, as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero, and an act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution.
Here is a comment in the IMDB that explains Cloud Atlas movie better than I could (but I understood this so while watching this movie):
READ THIS so you’ll understand this masterpiece: “Cloud Atlas is structured like a Russian nesting doll, with six interconnected narratives – spanning from the 1800’s through the 1930’s, the 1970’s, the present 2012, the future 2144 of Seoul, and after the fall of the civilization in 2321, that invert and converge like a palindrome. Each story is so unique with its own rising action/climax/conclusion, yet they all connect through different themes.
These six stories have amazing connections that appear to be individually based, but grow in momentum to form one giant philosophical idea. Cloud Atlas explores the idea of an eternal soul that reincarnates through time and space in different parts of the world – no matter of race and gender – but based on the past actions, reborn and rejoins with lost loves, and remedy wrongs from the past. Everything is connected in Cloud Atlas, every line and detail – in one way or another. It’s an exploration of how the actions of individual lives impact one another in the past, present and future.
People worry that the movie is confusing. It’s not if you just get the concept: the same actor playing one soul in multiple parts, in different time periods. Because the concept is that what you do in a past life, is connected to consequences that might happen in your future life. (Many people who have seen the film didn’t know the actors played multiple parts. That’s definitely a proof of outstanding, brilliant makeup!)
When you know all characters the same actor is playing, it will be easier to understand why the soul has been reincarnated into this person. It’s not race-mixing, transsexual for fun. There’s an important reason. The more times you see Cloud Atlas the more details and hidden messages you’ll notice/discover and realize how all the stories and everything are connected to each other.
But I would also say it’s a brainy movie for already open-minded human beings with a heart and some kind of depth in their bodies. It’s definitely nothing for dumb, ignorant, narrow-minded people who can’t think for themselves. It’s a rare, unique, epic, beautiful, piece of art – in which you must be able to pay attention to details. The others better be sure to get the next Fast and Furious or Transformers movie, or just stick to their Twilight collection.
Cloud Atlas is a movie that lets you reflect about your own actions, life, existence. It is an epic story of humankind in which the actions and consequences of our lives impact one another – throughout the past, present and future.”
Thank you to cloudatlasfans who wrote this, it can be useful to some people. This is really a movie to be seen many times to understand it better every time.

Big bang, time and space… We can’t go back. That is why it is hard to choose. YOU have to MAKE the RIGHT CHOICE!
In Finnish:
Suomeksi:
Tämän pätkän tekeminen oli mielessä jo viime vuonna mutta kone ei oikein halunnut tehdä yhteistyötä, pätki vain. Nyt sen sain tehtyä, pienissä palasissa tosin nytkin. Mutta tulipahan valmis vihdoin.
Me emme voi palata takaisin (ajassa) ja siksi on hankala tehdä päätöstä.
Sinun pitää tehdä oikea päätös!
Aika, avaruus, kaikki dimensiot.. ennen isoa pamausta aikaa ei ollut olemassa..
But still, there is something running-through in this movie. Like when Lindy sees right through this very cocky and superficial man, Kyle. It’s a bit too soon and too convenient… But the teachings are good.

Löysin hyvän arvostelun jossa elokuvasta American Beauty löytyi mystiikkaa. Tässä sen linkki, http://www.hermes-press.com/ambeauty.htm mutta säästin sinne menemisen vaivan kopioimalla MOVIE REVIEWin arvostelun tähän kokonaan.
I found a great review of AMERICAN BEAUTY it is here: http://www.hermes-press.com/ambeauty.htm But I saved the trouble of going there by copying the whole article here.
LOOK CLOSER!
American Beauty
(The Movie)
The Esoteric, Mystical Elements
To understand American Beauty we have to pay particular attention to the film’s tag line: “. . . look closer,” a clue that we must explore the film much more discerningly to get its real meaning.
The two dozen reviews of the film that I read missed the whole significance of the film, assuming that it was just an ordinary film that could be reviewed in the usual way by speaking of the actors, director, producers, and screenwriter. No way.
It’s reassuring when a movie like American Beauty appears, because it contains an unmistakable mystical strain: become attuned to the underlying spiritual elements in human life. Look closer and you’ll begin to see “the miraculous in the mundane.”
Amazon.com interviewer: “[T]he tag line is, ‘…look closer.'” Alan Ball (screenplay writer): “And when you first see the title you think, “American Beauty + rose,” and then you see the movie and you think that Angela’s the American Beauty–the blond cheerleader that is the secretive object of lust. But it’s not Angela– it’s that plastic bag. It’s the way of looking at the world and seeing what incredible beauty there is in the world. And I think that’s something that we’re born with that gets ironed out of us by our culture and by experience and by conformity. I think there’s a part of everybody that yearns to get that back.”
Amazon.com interviewer: “There’s something so simple and poetic about Ricky’s encounter with the plastic bag that just keeps whirling in the breeze. You’re not sure what it means, but the simple beauty of it has a profound effect. How did that come about? “
Alan Ball: “I had an encounter with a plastic bag! And I didn’t have a video camera, like Ricky does. I’m sure some people would look at that and go, ‘What a psycho!’ But it was a very intense and very real moment. There’s a Buddhist notion of the miraculous within the mundane, and I think we certainly live in a culture that encourages us not to look for that. I do like, though, that Ricky says, ‘Video’s a poor excuse, but it helps me remember.’ Because it’s not the video he’s focused on; it’s the experience itself. He’s very connected to the world around him.” [italics added]
DreamWorks SKG released a mass of pictures and video clips of the movie, but didn’t include a single shot of the plastic bag scene.
“The appreciation of beauty, in the sense of a surrender to its influence rather than a critical analysis, is another example . . . of a simple spiritual contact. . . . Beauty is a great and quiet teacher. But what I am asking here is that in your response to beauty you notice the difference between the out-going expanded feel of you, and the in-drawn close-huddled concentration of ordinary affairs.”Stewart Edward White. The Betty Book
With movies containing a mystical ingredient, we often get no clue as to how the higher spiritual content gets through to the writer and thence into the movie itself. This is certainly true of movies such as Resurrection, The French Lieutenant’s Woman and Being There. With American Beauty we’re fortunate to have the screenplay writer’s own words explaining how the inspiration occurred.
First, he had an “encounter with a plastic bag.” In other words he had an epiphany in which the mystery of beauty revealed a mystical dimension hidden within the physical world.
Then he tells us that the actual writing of the screenplay was an experience of extraordinary disclosure.
“I was working full-time as a co-executive producer on a network sitcom, so I was coming home at one in the morning and writing for two hours and going to sleep. I just got in the zone, and it seemed to have its own life and the characters seemed so real, and it was like channeling“. [italics added]
Because Ball was “receiving” the material from a higher source–which he refers to as channeling–even he is still discovering meanings in the screenplay.
“. . . You have to have a deep and fundamental acceptance of mortality to really be able to see what’s beautiful in life, because beauty and truth are inextricably connected. That’s not a particularly original thought, but a lot of stuff in the script is really instinctive. I didn’t think about what the purpose of it was, or that kind of thing. And now I find myself trying to second-guess what is symbolic of what, and what it means.”
Alan Ball’s deep understanding of the movie’s mystical meaning is heartwarming, especially coming as it does from the world of “cinematic entertainment” where we most often get screenwriters or directors telling us that they have no idea what the movie means, that we’ll have to put in whatever meaning appeals to us. Ball says quite clearly that “the whole heart of the movie” is “Lester’s journey and his realization.”
“If there’s any theme to this movie, it’s that nothing is what it appears to be on the surface. That there is a life behind things and it’s much more interesting and real than the veneer of reality that we all sort of tacitly agree to accept.”
I think it’s necessary to see this film at least twice to experience the full impact of the screenplay. After seeing the movie the first time and beginning this review, some questions came into my mind:
Was the movie as multi-dimensional as I remembered it?
Was I projecting something onto the film that wasn’t there?
The second viewing comfirmed that the movie was, indeed, as multi- dimensional as I had remembered and contained even more spiritual content than I had recalled.
On the second viewing, you’ll probably see lots of things you missed, such as the sign, “Look Closer” on Lester’s desk.
Also, when you first see the movie, you allow yourself to create a suspicion of Ricky, because all the usual clues are present:
he doesn’t wear the mod style clothes that other high school students do–he dresses, as Angela say, “like a Bible salesman”
he doesn’t have an ingratiating smile on his face all the time, trying to impress people
he admits to videotaping a dead woman and Jane and Angela find him videotaping a dead bird
he speaks with Jane about her desire to have her dad killed
he doesn’t go for Angela, the classic Hollywood “American beauty,” but for Jane
With all these cues, we almost automatically put Ricky in the same category as the two whacked out brothers in Bob Roberts. We misinterpet Ricky as a kid psychologically damaged by a rigid, fascist Marine Corps dad.
The second time we see the film we can (not necessarily will) see an entirely different film. Lester Burnham’s journey and his realization are still the focal points.
But now Ricky becomes Lester’s “guide.”
He turns Lester on to some primo mind-altering marijuana which brings about Lester’s awakening.
He provides an example of how to come at life; Lester calls Ricky his “hero,” when Ricky unemotionally tells his catering boss, “Then don’t pay me.” Talking with Lester was more important to Ricky than a paying job. This showed Lester how to view his own horrible job and the next day Lester turns in a devastatingly honest job description which results in his forcing his corrupt boss to pay him a sizeable termination bonus.
Lester begins to lead a life of his own choice.
Lester: “I feel like I’ve been in a coma for about twenty years. And I’m just now waking up.”
Ricky now becomes a major focus of the film during our second viewing.
Amazon.com interviewer: “Ricky is a drug dealer, but of all the characters he seems to be the most levelheaded and the most sure of who he is.” Alan Ball: “He’s certainly the most, I think, evolved. You look at Ricky and you look at what he’s grown up in, the environment of repression and brutality, and it’s amazing. What is it that kept him from becoming one of those kids who goes to school with a gun and just starts shooting? Something…. His ability to see the beauty in life is what kept him from just shutting down and becoming twisted and brutal. I think everybody has that ability, and we all make choices.”
Ricky : “So much beauty I can’t take it. Like my heart’s
going to cave in.”
We’ll be able to experience even more of the mystical strain of the movie when it comes out in video, for we can then play sections–such as the dancing plastic bag–by themselves as we meditate on their revelatory significance.
Movies With Mystical Content
The mystical content of a movie is embodied in the screenplay, in the direction and editing, or in the performances. At times, the screenplay is so demanding that the key parts must be played by exceptional actors for the spiritual dimensions to be disclosed. With American Beauty, Resurrection, and The French Lieutenant’s Woman, the screenplay embodies the mystical content so thoroughly that it makes little difference which actors play the parts. Other accomplished actresses than Ellen Burstyn or Meryl Streep could have played the female parts of Edna McCauley and Sarah Woodruff/Anna to equal effect. And in American Beauty many actors other than Kevin Spacey or Annette Bening could have played the parts with fine results.
In Being There, the screenplay is so demanding that very few actors could play the part of Chance the Gardener (Chauncy Gardner). Peter Sellers certainly got some of the meaning of the part, but Sellers was too ego-obsessed to uncover all the nuances of the character. The only contemporary actor who could reveal all the dimensions of the character–and make it believable–is Anthony Hopkins.
The mystical last scene in Being There, with Chance walking on water, was entirely the creation of Hal Ashby, the director. He built a platform in the water and shot the scene in secret, so that the studio wouldn’t shut him down.
The mystical content of The French Lieutenant’s Woman resides almost exclusively in the screenplay, but the script is so demanding that it requires a consumate actress to make the key scenes work effectively. When we plummet from the nineteenth century scarlet woman stumbling into her soon-to-be lover’s arms into the twentieth century with the actress stumbling into her actor-lover’s arms, it requires something more than ordinary acting to pull that off.
In the case of Resurrection we have the opportunity to see firsthand that the mystical content resides in the original screenplay. The recent TV movie remake of the script revealed that writers and actors out of touch with the original spiritual dimension of the screenplay can produce nothing but a still-born perversion. The same kind of disfigurement took place when Marlo Thomas tried to produce a remake of the deeply mystical movie: It’s A Wonderful Life.
American Beauty, the Ending
Lester’s closing line of the movie is right on target in saying that many viewers of the film won’t understand it. But it ends on the same mystical note in assuring us that someday we will understand the hidden dimensions the movie illustrates.
“. . . All earth experiences are like the coloring used on the slides of a microscope to make you conscious of invisible things.”
English readers, This text is in English after the video.
Olen kiinnostunut elämän puusta, nyt kirjoitan siitä miten se on jotenkin nyt tullut elämääni kiinnostuksen noustessa yhä enemmän. Sain vastikään Veli Martin Keitelin kirjan Väinämöisen puhuva puu Kabbala Kalevalassa -kirjan, ja se oli hyvin mielenkiintoista luettavaa. Sen mukaan suomella ja sumerilaisilla on paljonkin yhteistä, mm. kielemme. Paljon on samalta kuulostavia sanoja jotka jopa tarkoittavat samaa asiaa.
Tämä kirja pitää lukea varmasti useaan otteeseen että ymmärtää sitä. Se selittää maailmaa, maailman rakennetta monelta kantilta katsottuna. Kirjan takakannessa lukee näin: “Muinaisten egyptiläisten mukaan ihmisellä on henki Ba ja ruumis Ka. Useissa kielissä B ja V ovat yksi ja sama kirjain. Kalevala voidaan kirjoittaa “Ka-le-Ba-la”. Siellä Ka ja Ba yhdistetään, lyhyemmin sanottuna se on Ka-Ba-La, Kabbala. Kabbalaa, Kalevalaa ja suomenkieltä ei ole ennen katsottu tällä tavalla.”
En ole edes lukenut Kalevalaa kokonaan enkä ole rehellisesti sanoen ollut kauhean kiinnostunut lukea sitä, mutta se miten Veli Martin Keitel kertoo Kalevalasta ja muista myyteistä jotka suunnilleen tuntuvat kertovan samaa tarinaa eri nimin, niin olen alkanut kiinnostumaan Kalevalan lukemisesta jotta voisin samalla vertailla sitä muihin myytteihin.
En aio tehdä tästä suurempaa kirjareferaattia, vaan menen eteenpäin ja kerron missä kaikissa yhteyksissä elämänpuu on tullut esiin ihan tässä aivan kuukauden sisällä.
Elämän puu on putkahdellut eteeni moneen otteeseen eri muodoissaan. Kuten eilisessä blogimerkinnässä kerroin elämän puusta ja Xibalbasta, niin juuri tuo the Fountain -elokuva sai minut kiinnostumaan enemmän tästä aiheesta jälleen uudelleen.
Elämän puu on putkahtanut esiin myös toisissa elokuvissa. Sublime (-27)-leffassa naisella oli selkäänsä tatuointuna elämän puu joka odotti kesää, paljasoksainen puu. On myös Puu -niminen australialainen leffa, jossa perheen isä kuolee ja tytär alkaa kuvitella, että isän sielu asuu suuressa puussa. Tulossa on myös Tree of life -leffa pääosassa mm. Brad Pitt. Knowing -leffassakin lapset juoksevat suuren puun luokse. Pääosassa Nicholas Gace. Myös the Legend of the quardians: Quoardians of Ga’Huul -animaatiossa on jättiläismäinen puu jossa pöllöt elävät. Varmasti puu esiintyy jossain lasten saduissakin ja monessa eri muodossa eri elokuvissa ja kirjoissa, mutta nämä olivat tällaisia minulle tulleita viittauksia elämän puuhun tänä päivänä.
Kun tein Tree of life -videota, löysin elämän puun saamelaisen shamaanin noitarummusta, jossa keskellä on elämän puu jakamassa taivaan ja maan ja joka on ohjannut tärkeiden päätösten tekemisessä. Löysin myös kauniita kelttiläisiä elämän puita.
Ja tässä se video johon keräsin näitä kuvia / Here is my video Tree of life

Tree of life
I am interested in the tree of life, and now I write about how it is somehow now become an interest more and more. I just recently got Veli Martin Keitel’s book “the Talking tree of Väinämöinen Kabbalah Kalevala”-book, and it was very interesting reading. According to it the Sumerian and Finnish have a lot in common, for example. our language. Much of the same sounding words that mean the same thing even.
This book will be read several times if one wants to understand it. It explains the world, the global structure of the many points of view. On the back cover reads: “The ancient Egyptians, the people have the spirit of the Ba and the body of the Ka. In many languages, B and V are one and the same letter. Kalevala can be written as” Ka-le-Ba-la. “There’s Ka and Ba combined, briefly put it a Ka-Ba-La, the Kabbala.Kabbalah, the Kalevala and the Finnish language has never before been viewed in this way. “
I have not even read the Kalevala in a whole, and I have not been terribly interested in it , but it is interesting how Veli Martin Keitel says that the Kalevala and other myths seem to tell the same story in different names, so I’ve started an interest in reading the Kalevala, when I could at the same time to compare it to other myths.
I’m not going to make this a book summary, instead I’ll go ahead and tell you where the tree of life in all contexts have popped out over a month.
The Tree of Life has risen several times in various forms. As yesterday’s blog entry factor for the tree of life, and Xibalba, the Fountain -movie made me more interested in this subject once again.
Paulo Coelho’s story about a woman who decides to die but survives only to know she’s going to die soon. Then she will learn about life and living more than ever before.
The book is better than this movie in many ways, but I think movie is important too.
Oli hienoa katsoa joutsenlampeen liittyvä elokuva, koska lapsena pidin vuoden 1979 japanilaisesta piirretystä joutsenlampi leffasta ja halusin balettitanssijaksi =)
Black swan on enemmänkin kertomus täydellisyyden tavoittelusta, taiteesta joka on suurempaa kuin elämä, mielen harhoista, äiti-tytärsuhteesta, kilpailusta ja monesta muusta psykologisesta aspektista. Elokuva on intensiivinen kokemus. Natalie Portman näyttelee hyvin surullista, suorastaan kituvaa naista joka pyrkii “Swaniksi”, pääosaan joutsenlampeen jossa on valkoinen ja musta joutsen. Nainen lopulta täydellisyyden pyrkimyksessään antaa rajoitteiden särkyä, ja alkaa muuttua. Taide on totta ja totuus taidetta…
Toinen leffa,M. Night Shyamalanin tarinaan perustuva “Devil” eli suomeksi piru, on ihan jännittävä leffa joka kertoo ihmisten tekemien valintojen ja tekojen seuraamuksista. Mukana on anteeksiannon merkitystä. Kaikki tapahtuu skyscraperin hississä ja panin merkille, että tuon pilvenpiirtäjän ovien edessä lukee 333.
Kaunista musiikkia. Ajatusta sanoissa. Tästä laulusta on lisää myöhemmin tässä tekstissä. Beautiful music. Almost haunting atmosphere. There’s more about this song lateer in this text. About the effect it had on me.
This post is in finnish and english so my english friends know what I’m talking about here. Tämä postaus on myös englanniksi jotta englannin kieliset ystävät ymmärtävät mistä puhun.
Tänään olen tutkinut sellaista asiaa, että mikä mahtaisi olla minun tietoisuuteni taso tällä hetkellä. Today I have been researching what is my current level of consciousness?
Heilurilla olen tutkinut asiaa käyttämällä tällaista juttua / With pendulum I have been looking into this:
No minullahan on tuo hieno heiluri jonka olen hankkinut mutta vähän vain käyttänyt. Nyt on helpompi tehdä jonkinlaista kysymystä kun on tällainen selvä vastauskartta. Tässä toinen kartta jota voi käyttää melkein mihin vain. I have a beautiful pendulum that I haven’t been using much but now it’s easier to use with these cool charts.
Nämä löytyvät täältä/These charts you can find here and print it for your own use:
Above Levels operating in Survival Mode, Below Levels operating more from Love
200 – Courage
250 – Neutrality
310 – Willingness
350 – Acceptance
400 – Reason
500 – Love
540 – Joy
600 – Oneness
700 – 900 is Enlightenment
1000– Christ Consciousness
1100–1200 Highest 3rd Dimension
1300– 4th Dimension
1400– 5th Dimension
1500– 6th Dimension
1600– 7th Dimension
50000+ Arch Angels
Calibration Descriptions above 1000 have been determined by Bryce Jackson and not Dr. David R. Hawkins
Minä kokeilin heiluria tämän ensimäisen kartan yllä, jonka olin printannut itselleni. Ensin sain vain 250 (kuulemma suomalaisilla alle 200 tuo luku noin keskimäärin) mutta kun annoin heilurin jatkaa heilumistaan, se alkoi liikkua vielä, ja pysähtyi johonkin n 650 kohdille.
I tried the pendulum over the first chart that I had printed out. At first I got it only 250 (finnish people have average of somewhat under 200) but then the pendulum started to continue moving, and at the end my level of consciousness was at about 650.
Mutta miten mielenkiintoista olikaan, kun kokeilin äsken uudelleen tämän samaisen kartan yllä heiluriani. Kuuntelin Reecen kappaletta jo ties monennenko kerran,ja nyt tuo luku ylitti 700, ja pysähtyi 750 kohdalle!
I was listening to this Reece’s great song and tried this pendulum over the same chart again, and now it went over 700 and stopped at 750! So now my level of consciousness was increased by 100 and it is because of this song. There is a page where they have movies that are calibrated 300 or more. This song is definetly one in music to be over 300 because it has this kind of effect!
Joten nyt tietoisuuden tasoni oli noussut 100:lla ja se on varmasti Reecen kappaleen ansiota. Se vaikutti minuun niin että taso nousi! Tuolla sivulla jolta löytyi nämä kartatkin, on elokuvia jotka ovat kalibroituja 300 tai yli, ja jos tämä musiikki otettaisiin mukaan, se varmasti olisi yksi yli 300 vaikuttava.
More info about consciousness levels:
“Duality/Polarity begins to dissipate at the 500 level and completely merges into unity/oneness at 600. At 500 you are beginning to “FEEL” the merging of the polarities and by 600 you only know the “FEELING” of oneness. If you find yourself in the 400’s of REASON, you can “THINK” you understand oneness and polarities but you can only “FEEL” them occaisionally.” Elikkäs tämän mukaan duaalisuus ja polaarisuus alkaa hajota tuossa 500 paikkeilla, ja sulautuu ykseyteen 600:ssa. 700-900 onkin jo valaistumisen tasoa ja 1000 on Kristuksen tietoisuuden tasolla.
Olisi hyvä kuunnella tällaista omaa tietoisuuden tasoa nostavaa musiikkia, katsoa leffoja jotka vaikuttavat näin myös ja inspiroivat sielua. Esim. tuolla sivulla oli lueteltuna näitä leffoja:
Huom, katso miten vähän ‘uskonnollinen’ Passion of the Christ on tämän mukaan (täynnä pelkoa, vihaa ja kidutusta)
2005
1 MEET THE FOCKERS.(500). This movie will definitely make you laugh out loud unless you have NO sense of humor. This is definitely one of the ALL TIME funniest movies that we have seen. Laughter is one of the highest vibrations and is known to be a very healing activity. RENT THIS one today.
2004
0 PASSION OF THE CHRIST.(100). This movie has the lowest vibration of any movie we have experienced. Be prepared for 3 hours of FEAR, ANGER and TORTURE.
1 WHAT THE BLEEP DO WE KNOW.(700). This movie is the highest vibrational calibration that we have measured. Shows how quantum physics is now verifying how we create our own reality. The movie uses a documentary – drama format that gives both intelectual information along with the experiential. This is a MUST SEE movie. For more info go to http://www.whatthebleep.com
2 FINDING NEVERLAND .(700). This movie is based upon Love and Compassion and for me is Johnny Depps greatest performance.
2003
1 LOVE ACTUALLY .. What a wonderful movie that shows the power of LOVE & COMPASSION in a variety of scenerios such as Fatherly Love, Brotherly Love, Physical Love, Divine Love. You will leave this movie feeling inspired! (500)
2 SECOND HAND LIONS.. What a wonderful movie that shows the power of LOVE & COMPASSION even in the elderly. You will leave this movie feeling inspired! (500)
3 WHALE RIDER.. Takes place in New Zealand with natives experiencing the change from old traditions to new ones. (500)
4 SCHOOL OF ROCK.. Rock music is the setting to exhibit what PASSION is all about. In the process, LOVE & COMPASSION is felt throughout the movie. Even though we did not care for the music, we loved this movie. (NOTE: we were the only SENIORS in the filled theatre.) (450)
5 HOLES.. A great cast and shows what LOVE & COMPASSION can overcome regardless of how hopeless the situation seems. (400)
6 A MIGHTY WIND.. What great fun this picture is with a SPOOF on the 1960’s folk music. We laughed from the very first scene and thoroughly enjoyed the folk music the way it was sung when we were younger.(400)
7 FREAKY FRIDAY.. I know this sounds really weird but it is really well done as your will understand what it is like to experience life from another’s perspective. (375)
2002
1 BEAUTIFUL MIND.. Russell Crowe in the acting job of his career in a picture that seems to be about the intellect, you will experience a total pure consciousness feeling of LOVE when it is over. You MUST NOT MISS EXPERIENCING THIS PICTURE. (500)
2 I AM SAM.. Sean Penn had a most difficult part to play in an inspiring movie that indicates just what LOVE can actually overcome. (500)
Note: Yes we have seen Lord of the RIngs but it will never be on any of our lists of inspiring movies as it is very fear/anger based and calibrates to only a 150.
2001
1 SHALLOW HAL..Beauty does go much deeper than the visual. Great movie for the concept of seeing beyond the INNER BEAUTY. (450)
2 MAJESTIC..Jim Carey in a really great movie about standing up for your truth in front of the whole world. (350)
3 SHREK..A really feel good about life after viewing this animated movie. (350)
4 KPAX…Kevin Spacey plays an apparent skitso frenia man in a movie that can be observed on many different levels. If you can perceive the ONENESS of the universe, this one will send you away in tears of JOY. (350)
2000
1 SIXTH SENSE..Bruce Willis in an awesome movie about the spirit beyond and how they communicate with some of us. (350)
2 MISSION TO MARS..Perhaps the origin of life on Earth is offered to us in this movie. (200)
3 SPACE COWBOYS .. (4 old time actors that I can’t remember their names).. Boy this one was a lot of fun for us old fogeys! The old guys saved the world! (200)
1999
1 PHANTOM MENACE…The Force again overcomes Evil…for the moment. But we know that darkness is lurking within to take control whenever the Light wavers! (400)
2 BEING JOHN MALKOVICH…A powerful movie about the stigmata affect on certain humans. The spiritual significance was overpowering to us. (400)
3 STIGMATA…A powerful movie about the stigmata affect on certain humans. The spiritual significance was overpowering to us. (350)
1998
1 MEET JOE BLACK… Brad Pitt plays a roll that once again shows the power of LOVE reaches beyond the grave! (475)
2 HORSE WHISPERER…Robert Redford handles horses with Love. A new communication technique for training horses has revolutionized the older traditional methods. The ability to transcend the violent physical training and focus on the quiet communication via body movements and eye contact are now being applied to Corporate America. Hundreds of Corporations have signed up for these services. (425)
3 TITANIC…Why do you suppose this movie is now the ALL TIME most successful movie ever made both worldwide and domestic? Perhaps it is because James Cameron has captured the essence of experiencing the polarities at the same time! Unconditional LOVE and absolute FEAR are most evident as we are drawn into the drama as if we were on a Startrek holodeck! The emotional outpouring extends from the screen into your heart so that you may EXPERIENCE the duality of life on earth. This movie MUST be experienced on the BIG SCREEN to get the most experiencial empowerment. (400)
4 PLEASANTVILLE… Jim Carey discovers the spirit within each of us cannot be supressed forever. Our lives take on a new dimension when we switch from “outside ourselves” to “it’s within us always”. The world that we create comes from within and is projected outward! (375)
5 PATCH ADAMS … Robin Williams plays a Doctor that is inspired to help people his way and not that of the accepted professional medical profession. (350).
6 PRACTICAL MAGIC…Sandra Bullock. The empowerment of LOVE will overcome even centuries of “family curses”. Be prepared to feel inspired by this film when you allow yourself to “feel” the message of LOVE! (300)
1997
1 CONTACT… Jodie Foster in an awesome movie that will touch your soul by making contact with other dimensions… You may actually “feel” a connection to ALL THAT IS …. we did! (450).
2 AS GOOD AS IT GETS… Jack Nicholson & Helen Hunt. A movie that shows seemingly insurmountable obstacles that LOVE can overcome. (350).
3 GOOD WILL HUNTING… Robin Williams. (375).
4 LIAR, LIAR… Jim Carey. A lawyer that MUST tell the TRUTH for 1 day..no matter what question is asked. It is hilarious and shows the importance that truth plays in our lives. (350).
1996 and Older
1 LOST HORIZONS (1937)…The original version is the one with the deepest meaning of life on Earth based upon the illusions of duality. (500).
2 CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND (1977)… Richard Dreyfous was obsessed to do something that he had no conscious knowledge of. This UFO movie is one of the classics that show that inter-species relationships are possible. (475).
3 GHOST (1996)..Patrick Swayze, Whoopi Goldberg. LOVE extends beyond our physical life. (450).
4 MR HOLLAND’S OPUS (1995)… Again Richard Dreyfous is in a profoundly moving movie about following ones heart instead of head. (450).
5 SOMEWHERE IN TIME (1980)… A love story that transcends time as we know it. (450).
6 GROUND HOG DAY (1993)… Each day at 6 am the exact same things happen over and over until a change is made that will cause different choices to be made. No matter what is done, however the next morning everything starts over again and the repeat cycle continues until LOVE steps in. (400)

Miten voit muuttaa tietoisuuden tasoasi? How to change your level of consciousness?
-meditaatio / meditation (chakrojen aktivoiminen on yksi tärkeä asia/ one important thing is actvation of chakras)
-visualisointi esim. valoa / visualize light for example
-listening to high vibrational music or watching movies that inspire you (I think i proved it myself today) or reading spiritual books / kuuntele korkeavärähteistä musiikkia tai katso elokuvia jotka inspiroivat tai lue henkisiä kirjoja (luulisin että todistin sen tänään)
-Syö terveellisesti ja vältä keinotekoisia aineita kuten aspartaamia joka on myrkkyä
/eat healthy food and avoid artificial ingredients like aspartam wich is poison
-yhtenä ehdotuksena: käytä merisuolaa / one suggestion is to use seasalt
-Vältä fluorisoituja tuotteita/ avoid fluoride
-Vältä alumiinista deodoranttia / avoid alumine in deodorant
These things help you to clean your pineal gland / nämä toimenpiteet auttavat puhdistamaan ja tehostamaan käpyrauhasen toimintaa, ja näin saamaan yhteyden kolmanteen silmään ja korkeampiin tasoihin
There’s some suggestions, there by far many more, but you can search the net or books for them
I purchased this book in english and started to read a bit / ostin tämän kirjan englannin kielisenä ja aloin jo vähän lukea sitä.
Alan Ball (screenplay writer): “And when you first see the title you think, “American Beauty + rose,” and then you see the movie and you think that Angela’s the American Beauty–the blond cheerleader that is the secretive object of lust. But it’s not Angela– 
Alan Ball: “He’s certainly the most, I think, evolved. You look at Ricky and you look at what he’s grown up in, the environment of repression and brutality, and it’s amazing. What is it that kept him from becoming one of those kids who goes to school with a gun and just starts shooting? Something…. His ability to see the beauty in life is what kept him from just shutting down and becoming twisted and brutal. I think everybody has that ability, and we all make choices.”
