Relative success spiritually. Two things. First, I started drinking purely water a month or so back. Since then I have had dreams almost daily. Before then some of my dreams were strung out with two weeks between them. I feel that water genuinely keeps me attached to my 'higher self', so to speak.
Secondly, I finally pushed ahead with a set of dreams I have been stuck on for a while. I feel like I should have pushed on it quicker. But there is a specific month of dreams (I interpret them in months) that I have been stuck on for about six months when it normally takes a week or so. It is very rewarding doing this. If you struggle with a part of dream interpretation. It means that the guidance it was giving was not something that you were able to easily arrive at yourself. For months, with these dreams, I did not get what they meant.
With free will. The spirits will not give us things we do not get to part of the way ourselves. It's like, if we realise the path is down here, the spirits can help with the little things like 'don't eat the poisonous berries on the walk'. But they can't tell us to walk down the path initially. Since if they did, we would not be doing it from our genuine selves, but only a cerebral understanding of what was required. So we would not have the energy to do it.
So with these dreams, different parts of the dreams at different times I have thought over. But to finally put it together now adds up to a whole bunch of useable information.
Where it has gone is that it seems to be relating to other things I am understanding at the moment. I am looking at astrology. Interestingly, Simone Weil. Who talked about human psychology as all philosophers basically do I suppose. I am finding parts of my own psychology that I also see in behaviours I don't understand in other people. So, that does kind of lead in the direction of us all being One. Or a mirror.
Anyway, I am still not that far on my Simone Weil understandings. So I will not write anything in my blog about them yet. Although I do find her to be very profound. If Carla Rueckert had a past life. It could be Simone Weil. She is of the same type of quality.
Anyway, a bit more of a blog on a shallow topic today:
Youtube: Emily Butler: Why Does Modern Storytelling Feel So Empty?: August 28th 2026:
https://youtu.be/5jYn0m7x7RE?si=NmD8JVTEITbX9t05
I... don't even know where to being with this. I actually watched this video a few days ago and can't remember her precise points. But, the absolute mess that modern film making is today. It is exhausting.
It has also expanded to a lot of areas. Fiction books, music, a lot of areas just have come down quite amazingly in quality.
It really seems to come down to me is just the results of a dying society. The results of constant cost cutting. A few examples:
The Boys: Started out as an interesting take on superheroes. Was destroyed for many reasons. But the writers specifically hated Trump and all Trump voters. In the out takes. They were swearing at the fans. These people are ideologically captured and that kind of ideology does not make good stories.
Star Trek Discovery: When I watched this, I watched about ten minutes and in those ten minutes. The characters dissolved into arguing exactly like children. It was insulting to even watch. This show had a black woman called 'Michael' as the main character. It was also again, heavily based on liberals view of fascism and such. The Klingons were made into these kind of Nationalist characters.
The 4400: An older and so better series. The show was powerful and interesting. But in the fourth season the whole thing completely dissolved and the nuanced stories disappeared. It all became annoying and simplistic. In ways that I can barely even describe.
All the shows that were stopped after one or two seasons. I don't know why these show writers just can't make longer shows. Star Trek Deep Space Nine had a very unimpressive first season. It didn't really kick off until Season 5. That's 26 episodes a season. Over the long term cancelling shows so quickly makes people lose interest in new shows.
The Scream films: The early films were great, the more they have gone on the weirder they have become. It sounds like there were two very daring ideas. One was to have the antagonist win in Scream 4 and then in Scream 5, she would be the one hunted. They didn't do that. Another was to have the hero from Scream 5 and 6 to become the villain in Scream 7. But she said something pro Gaza so Hollywood canned her.
The films are obviously dying from lack of originality and recycled characters getting too old for the show.
The Star Wars films: Just became incredibly dumb. It became a girl boss franchise because Daisy Ridleys character was good at everything without any explanation as to how her character learned those skills (Like flying the Millennium Falcon!)
The Terminator films: The new ones are just bizarre. They are not girl boss bizarre. Not political really. They just don't have any particular "soul" to them. Somehow the stakes aren't real. It doesn't seem to matter if the good characters die.
The new Jurassic Park films: Just crap. The original is so much better. The original has way better graphics.
The Avengers is kind of engaging, you can put it on while you are doing something else.
The Sarah Connor Chronicles was an exception. This was a good show with some fantastic ideas and scenes. But of course it was killed after Season 2. Nobody, John Wick, Breaking Bad, were perhaps exceptions. But almost every film and series is just crap.
There was a golden age of cinema in about 2000. Gladiator. Terminator 2. Arnold Schwarzenegger films. The Matrix. The Lord of The Rings trilogy.
Terminator 2 I have formative memories of. The intense danger of that show feels somehow profound. It was the opposite of what shows are today. Everything felt "real".
This all, is just one of those 'life' things, and the problem, as I see it, is that Hollywood, and the movie and tv show industries. Are obviously not getting any real consequence for shoveling out bad shows.
It all feels like a bit of a "violation". It is obvious that 'creativity' is almost like another universe, another world. There are good writers out there that would bring forth whatever message that realm wants to communicate at the moment. But it is all being blocked by all this stuff.
