This is another case of - I wasn't intending on...
So I'm caught in the city. It's massively raining and I was intending on catching the ferry across the river, to the expensive but good, food products place known as 'the Good Grocer.'
I was going to walk down to the ferry.
But just then, is if by magic, I find that I am right outside the big 'Palace Cinema' and Lo, and Behold: 'Practical Magic 2.'

Okay maybe the rain'll stop by the time -, either I cut the show in half and walk out on it, or stay 'til the end and watch the whole thing.
The night before I have been once again down at the late-nite coffee house, absorbing just a few more pages of MacLaine's book.
And I'm seeing that yay verily indeed, she is exactly going into all the really important parts of how to do it all, why it works; what it is really all about - despite that earlier I had supposed she knew it, but was likely not going to tell.
But she does tell.
Thus, armed with a certain pleasant glow about these Hollywood grandes dames, I buy a ticket.
Again, Lo and Behold, the kid behind the counter tells me I must have purchased so many cinema tickets over recent years (I can't remember doing that...), that I get a Free Ticket now, if I wanted to use it. But I tell him, heck no, I'll pay for this and use the tokens for the 'Golden Lounge' thing-y or whatever, next time.
(Okay, okay - 'I can't remember doing that' lol).
So it's fifteen minutes into the movie and I'm going 'don't let me down. I can't believe you guys have started this so well...'
Point number 1 is the film has the best story-line continuity and scene continuity editing I have seen for a number of (recent) years.
The thing is a flawless classic.
The thing is a flawless classic.
Now sure you can find flaws, if that's what you simply must do, and I dare say all the mainstream religious zealots will utterly detest the thing, modern 'witches' (or at least, people who think they are) will argue about stuff being depicted as well.
The subject or theme of 'blood' is never explained correctly or properly in movies about witchcraft, and that is probably in large part to do with the people making those films not knowing anything about it -.
And the 'pseudo' special effects are standard for what audiences, especially G-Rated audiences will expect in movies and if you just get rid of all of that, most ordinary cinema-goers will feel that something was missing. So yeah, ya get that stuff.
The bad guy is not nearly as bad as he possibly could have been and his motivation in the story and his 'antagonist' character is straight out of a New York writers' workshop textbook.
But none of that is important if you grasp the rest of what is going on.
The kids who do the younger people roles are all able to leave their egos out the door, and just do their jobs (fully and properly) and follow behind the mature actresses, who really know what they are doing.
It's a movie for girls and women, yes sure, but so what.
What can we see from the whole production?
These people care.
None of them is faking anything in here. There is acting going on of course, but there is no 'acting' going on.
They all believe in what they are doing and none of it feels staged or trite or trivializing of the themes of life and (eventual) normal death.

For humans, even for witches.
Now there are two types of witches in the world: there are those who have and adopt the roles of mother, wife, human, living a human life among humans, looking after kids, keeping a family together. And indeed, 'witches' come in both genders (viz., Gerald Gardner) although they are mostly female.
And then there are those who are witches, but are really living as witches too and not masquerading for some reason of sentiment about the human race. 'Witches' are not of the human race or of human stock and kind -, or 'species.'
They are very different.
And here is a key point about it - you can use this particular movie as an important movie: if you or someone you know is dealing with a truly serious 'human crisis.'
There are a lot of these types of things that go on with people, and most of the time, it's not so easy to just adopt Osho's stance as mentioned in a comment just previously.
And definitely, it has become a 'thing' in our times, where people very deliberately portray some 'tragic' circumstance and then we're all supposed to just fall over and yield to whatever they want or want to say... The legacy news media does it all the time.
In the end the film is satisfying and you will have left with a sense that there is a resolution to the inevitable tragedies of human suffering and life.
It is the solution they - the Producers on the movie, and maybe they are witches of a sort too - want to have you take away into your daily life.
It is not the solution I would want to impart to anyone I felt really deserved answers.
'My solution' goes all the way.
And right now, MacLaine is heading in that direction in her book. And I think that whether she divulges it or not, there is already enough given so that those using the methods and ideas, will 'move forward.'
It's not 'my' solution, of course. It's the solution. But all the same, I do prefer to be dealing with people - humans - who care, as opposed to those that say they care, make all the noises, wave their arms about in the right kinds of portrayal ways; and who are a long way from comprehending anything as living, intelligent, sentient, conscious beings. These people are 'keeping scores.' and not knowing a thing about the nature of the metrics entailed.
Brando's character 'Colonel Walter E. Kurtz' was a 'witch' of a kind, in Apocalypse Now. Of course it's just a movie, but the idea of the archetypal spiritual forces involved in Death and War, are quite accurate. Dennis Hopper's character was a dumb, drug-addled photographer - whose own real life was never the same after he was in that film! LOL
I'm sure you all already know this but it is worth repeating formally so that we never forget what is going on.
Because the whole thing is quite deliberate.
I passed through Davos in the Nineties, I don't even know now whether I was going to Seefeld (the Austrian ski resort, not the place in Zurich) or somewhere's else - but in any event I don't remember the place at all.

My cousin tells me it's a really quiet place - most of the time.
Edward Bernays was Austrian.
I mean yes he was an American, but he was Austrian by birth.
He was the brains behind all of the CIA's activities designed to destabilize countries in South America.
I could show it on a big black-board and it is too hard to explain here in a limited space, but all of these so-called 'elites,' those super-rich people who run much of the world today - have defects in their psychological make-up compared with a fully-functioning human being.
But to try and cut a long story short -, they re-create a vast template of rules and consequences, and substitute that for the intellectual capability to actually 'see' from all directions, backwards, sideways, at angles, and forwards into the project-able future.
...And this is the reason the New Testament (I think Galatians, in particular) says that those who 'live under the Law, live under a curse and (also) die.'
What that means is that life, real life, is dynamic and unpredictable and certainly not beholden to your idea about what any consequence is for any specific action or event at a given moment, in context of real life.
In other words, the Law is artificial but then, so to are those 'elites' who think you have to abide by their laws/rules/decisions.

The most anxious people you are ever going to meet, are these 'elites.' On account of they all know they are under a death sentence - which is namely, just their natural lifespans.
They want to get around that and in due course, they will be trying to stick their 'consciousnesses' into AI machines...
The one real barrier to their aims and plans and ambitions, is you.
So you must be put off your footing at all times; virtually at all costs. Otherwise you would work cooperatively together with others like yourself, to get rid of them totally and forever.
In part this is the reason it is so hard to make connections with real people in today's 'society.' The whole thing is structured to isolate.
There is a recent Nature Magazine-published body of major research on the causes of anxiety, and it concludes that the number one reason is the inability of a person to feel safe in life, not just in their life, but in life generally - as per 'human life/society.'
All their biochemical and nerve processes become extra-sensitive to any stimulus at all, even those which other people, 'normal' people, would find hardly registers in their consciousness.
They become, in a sense, paranoid. They are permanently in a state of suspicion - of other people, new people. new things, new ideas. But then, because the elites want to have them be like that, they literally are pushed around by government and 'social factors,' into new roles, new jobs -, forced to go to new places...
Look, the reality is it is not so easy, just exposing things like 'calling up Orbs' (which really could be Alien things, certainly they are not normal human things) to everyone.
Right away there is responsibility implicit in saying you really do have access to all kinds of advanced technology, for example.

On the one hand you might suppose, yes the first few worthy recipients would be grateful for 'miraculous' things happening to them. But no sooner had all of that started, than you would have the 'ten beggars' thing take place and not just that, but you would have outright opposition geared against you.
aka 'What gives you the right, the exclusive right, to go up to a Med-Bay?!' 'We are the government, elites, Pope, Royal Family et cetera blah blah blah -.'
'You are nothing.'
But on the other hand, it is incredibly intimidating actually for real for real, having these encounters with super-advanced sources, whatever those are.
If you take almost any one of these really great 'world religious philosophy texts,' certainly the Vedas for one good example, definitely the New Testament - what you will see if you read them in context, of, for instance, that 'calling up Orbs is real -,' is this: 'Yes, it's real don't push it; you unthinking, mindless ego-drive human!' LOL
Sharon Stone - or anyone - going up into a space-craft of the sort that have these Orbs in bays ready to throw out and 'communicate' with humans down below, involves a process.
And that process goes - 'no you can't keep that, not that either, no, not that, okay that. No, just because you had that experience, you can't come here and whinge about it. So not that.'
Sharon, foot-stamping, grumpy and insolent: 'Why?'
Them: 'Because there are other people here. Besides you.'
If you want to get rid of anxiety, search for absolute safety and security.
And that does not come from money.
Here is the great Christopher Livingstone Eubank Snr., on the matter:
And, this is the 'usual' music...
