Okay here goes... Basically to cast magical spells etc, the theory is that it cannot be done with the concious mind so you have to subdue/trick the concious mind in to going away for a bit by using various techniques be it; meditation, sex, drugs, dance fasting, pain etc and allowing the sub concious mind to do the work whilst the more rational part of the brain is distracted.

The reason we live in such a shithole though, is because the esoteric side of us is severely re-pressed by religion, TV, movies, vaccines, fluoride in our water and man's inherent tendency for violence - among other things. This is why we are forced into being debt slaves for most of our life, to keep us distracted from humankinds full potential. My only gripe with the theory is why don't we find communities cut off from the outside world living in harmony and bliss....?? |

I can't wait to get my book (sometime this month!) and work through what I haven't seen. Can't believe we're in August already, how time flies.

From the Film Stills thread, I'm guessing this never happened! |

Two for two on the boring scoreboard... The Alchemist (1983) Despite the pretty straightforward premise of a man (Robert Ginty) seeking revenge on an evil magician who cursed him, the film itself is pretty nonsensical (which isn't necessarily a bad thing), and this is exasperated by the hammy (sometimes even mechanical) acting and ropey dialogue present throughout. All of this could be (and has been many times before) easily forgiven with films such as these, however, what cannot be forgiven is how ultimately dull the film is. At its core there is a simplistic morality tale of how a person can end up destroying themselves through seeking what they deem to be 'justice', however this is convoluted by the patch-work way in which the film appears to have been cobbled together with seemingly endless scenes where the running time is chewed up by nothing of any importance or interest happening... I could physically feel my energy levels ebbing away as the tawdry tedium swept over me in waves. Admittedly I'm not a big Band fan (from what little I've seen of his work), yet I'm guessing that even he wasn't too fond of this one considering he removed his name from the credits and decided to use a pseudonym. There are however a few flashes of creativity throughout; notably the always fascinating stop-motion model effects, but these are not enough to lift this one up beyond the insipid mess that it is. Based on discussions last night and by my reckoning, this could be another film for MTDS' occult model. Last edited by bizarre_eye@Cult Labs; 7th August 2014 at 09:29 PM. |
