HOROSCOPES
Celebrate your
grand illusion

FOR YEARS, I preferred
reel life to real life.

Robert

HEAVENS ABOVE .

I was an ardent movie buff.
Still am, but far less so. My fas-
cination with the art of the mo-
tion picture led me to Hollywood
where I appeared in several films
then dropped out into real life, or,
rather, the illusion that we “‘take’’
to be real,and subsequently learn-
ed that movies are simply movies
within the grander movie. (Grand
iffusion is one of my favorite
films.)

Our personal reality, you see, is

' both a projection and an inter-

pretation. Your life is not unlike a
movie in which you are the pro-
-ducer, screenwriter, director,
casting agent, star and film critic.
You finance your life production
and reap the rewards; you decide
on the script and make alterations
as it unfolds, you direct the ac-
tions of the characters, you decide
which parts they play, you decide
on the set and location, you clear-
ly have a central part in the pro-
duction and then, lo and behold,
you are the critic, constantly
evaluating, comparing and judging
the contents of your movie.

Often, when we judge the plot
as going badly, we either get upset
at the events that occur on the
screen, or we suppress our feelings
about those events. We may res-
pond dramatically by becoming
upset at a supporting actor, by
berating ourselves, by departing
from the scene and: changing the
location of the movie or by
pretending that what happened
doesn’t matter to us.

These actions are ineffectual.
Examples of solving problems this
way: hastily changing jobs, getting
separated or divorced, moving to
Hawaii, getting drunk or “‘high,’’
etc.

If we desire to make positive
and permanent changes in the
movie called ‘‘my life,” this can
be accomplished, not by changing
the screen ‘“‘out there’’ directly,
but by changing the film in the
projection booth.

That booth is our mind, which
projects our life onto the screen of
our experience, creating outcomes
via thoughts, which are like indi-
vidual frames of a movie. The
light that shines through the film
is Universal life energy which
dutifully reproduces on the screen
the images on the film, no matter
what they may be.

So ... consider well, please: You
never can tell what your thoughts
will do in bringing you hate or
love, for thoughts are ‘‘things”’
and their airy wings go swifter
than carrier doves; this is another
of those laws of the Universe ...
each thing must create its kind.
They speed o’er the track to bring
you back exactly what came from
your mind.

Did Elvira Madigan have to end
that way? Not that it wasn’t OK.

Deeply moving, in fact. Another
of my favorite movies. But, had it
been my movie ... well, actually it
was. (Ours?)
