This Is Worth It (Film Review)

So I just had the opportunity - on account of knowing some artsy friends who arrive and disappear at any moment too - to watch the film 'Widow Clicquot' at the main cinema in the city here. 

There was zero fanfare, none of the regular wine merchant displays that often accompany much lesser movies. There is a very fine little wine bar in the place, away from the main ticketing area which also has a bar and pretty good small food offerings. This more private bar is right at the heart of the cross-roads as it were, to all of the main theaters including the so-called 'Platinum Club' experience theatrette (which is very nice and tends to show off-the-beaten-trail Euro flicks, and so that's pretty cool).

Where are we going today,
Calvin. Take us...

The smallish theater for this movie was virtually at capacity, all older people, very middle class-ish (I am a complete snob about that; prefer the company of peasants, frankly).

On the one hand on agreeing to go see this I was skeptical because I haven't seen a good new movie in years, yet on the other hand I thought, well, how wrong are they going to be able to get the history of an icon...?

'Widow Clicquot' of course refers to the woman who started the great Champagne House of Veuve Clicquot.

...And, to ease my typical early disquiet, I was quite ready to pounce at falsity and denounce this as just another one of the lunatic propaganda pieces from the same tribe of movie-making idiots who have captured the scene in recent times - if for no other reason than that I have always liked this brand of Champagne. At one point someone (someone important actually, now that I come to think about it) in their marketing people actually announced me 'an ambassador of the House of Veuve Clicquot;' I'm not sure but I think it was around the time when I used to get invited to Arthur Andersen shows and Whatsisname Brandson would be around them.

So anyway I was ready to denounce this thing though at the same time being an actual idiot movie-lover (not an idiot for commercial reasons alone) and an eternal optimist, I began to watch with hope and an open mind because I do like to see other people's opinions too.

The thing starts, ten seconds in I could not see the stars as obviously immediately beautiful or memorable but instead rather neutral - young faces to me at least: unknowns.

I had no knowledge from the opening titles (and these were tightly-framed and sparse) who the producers were, or what the money was behind the film.

The Imperial Russians in Paris, see.

Turns out, later when I looked into it, this was made by none other than literally the William Morris Agency (or Group or whoever they call themselves now, but this is the serious entertainment agency and money of yore).

Maybe three minutes in - I was going to say five, but I think it's actually closer to three - I was close to tears, not necessarily because the dramatic action (in the sense of story-line, right, not 'action' action) was evoking it but because I sensed where this should be going, if true to the reality, both of wine-making broadly, and this history particularly.

My grandfather made wine, my grandmother made wine and sold it, my mother made wine and sold it... I do none of those things.

But they did do.

Twenty minutes in and I'm going 'don't let me down.'

Thirty minutes in I've forgotten about my prejudices and doubts and the production values, directing and ensemble cast have erased my doubts and fears and I have complete confidence in them - and now I'm just going with the story.

This thing is tightly and seamlessly edited, there are no flat-spots or faltering parts, and the necessary seeming emotional bathos is not jarring and becomes almost a gothic element in the artistic sense.

But not so as anyone unschooled would notice it either.

I don't think anyone in the audience got the movie at all on the levels at which it was operating.

When one of the major characters said to the female lead's character (which is of course Barbe-Nicole, Madame Clcquot) 'Ah, I see that you are a criminal at heart,' I nearly clapped out loud but noticed no one else was rising to the point. Or worse yet to the spirit of the whole story-line and the style of its protagonist.

A little criminal enterprise.

Madame Clcquot was proposing to evade or break the embargo demanded by Napoleon by secretly diverting a new shipment to Amsterdam and from thence into Imperial Russia (therefore a criminal, you see, by Napoleonic decrees).

Anyway, to cut a long story short for you (however, the movie is not long; it's very short by today's standards), this is certainly one of the best movies ever made of all time.

There you are.

The end.

Not quite the end.

When the lights came on, and everyone went out, I did clap, no one else did and some of the more audible comments were from women on the arms of their very average husbands, were of this sort: 'It's a man's world, isn't it.'

Totally not the message of the movie at all, and nothing like what its ending implied although superficially the key ending scene is before a legal tribunal where Clicquot was being examined or charged with impropriety by some in-laws and competing wine-makers - apparently for running a business and a winery as an unwed female with outside romantic liaisons or somethings, it's not well-defined in the movie.

Not well-defined yes, but this is because of the tight editing making the obvious to the old saws perfectly well signaled -, what is thus inobvious to everyone else: namely, that the Widow Clcquot has a love relationship with a house-maid, and a sex relationship with the lair who is her select and brilliant trade merchant and representative to the Imperial Russian Court (means aristocracy and its social gatherings, yes?).

It's almost like 'As Good As It Gets' which no one understands is about the fact that the Nicholson character is the guy who robs all of the young artists that he 'arranges accommodation' for when they come to New York, and that is how he makes his money, not by writing books, which his secretaries do, and is merely a front for what he really does - I have not seen that explanation anywhere even by skilled and experienced film reviewers, but once you have been told it, you can never see the same movie again and fail to realize it!

Everyone else thinks the Nicholson movie is about some mature female finally getting with a grumpy old - quite detestable - man.

Now mind you, this is not an excuse - this movie isn't - an excuse for going out and getting silly drunk, okay.

If anything, it's a way of never getting drunk frivolously ever again. Instead, if you simply have to imbibe, then it will be all about the experience, all about life, the vines, the earth -, and the stars...

He he he. Yes yes, the comet of 1811.

Speaking Of The Future...

I think I've been pretty clear in recent times that most kinds of 'risk/reward' investing pathways are fraught with far too much downside potential for any serious investor to commit too deeply into anything that is not 'hard, physical' and where you can't readily get your own hands onto 'custody.'

Gold, silver... What else? Not much that springs to mind! Not in any short-medium term at any rate.

I'm not sold on all of these wonderful stories about things 'going up in price.' You won't be missing out on anything other than the big falls and all of the fragmentation of systems (means fraud...) along the way.

Had a meeting earlier today
with an interesting

'Barbagallo Watch Shop.'
LOL

Okay I guess if you have some property but then again, too much of that is a target for governments to tax and to levy fees on for whatever imaginative reasons they can think up.

A lot of the standard pop mythology about various figures of the ancient past who made a lot of material wealth - King Midas, King Solomon, the King of Tyre - fails to sufficiently note that wisdom in the case of both Hiram and Solomon were preexisting conditions with them, and that diligence and obsessive focus was what made Midas rich at first but then also led to his problem.

That problem being that he turned living people into cold un-moving statues made of gold.

Until of course the person who had given him this dubious 'power' - the god Hermes - agreed to remove the curse.

Living people are what make you happy. 

And in today's world it is some feat to be able to 'fall across' amazing people; they're not that common.

All the same when you come upon people, alive, apparently dynamic, hopefully engaged in finding their own futures, what you will mostly find are individuals with some energy remaining but flailing about, some of their qualities trying to be asserted and with their best capacities suppressed and held back by the present state and condition of the planet, by which I mean, of society.

This world is entirely about energy. Spiritual energy.

She does unique
scarves and shawls,
among other things.

That is what the contention is about.

As soon as you find a spiritual energy that is not the energy allowed to these people, in this world, you will encounter - by means of hidden, unseen, invisible energies and fields, some of it carried or adhering to people too - opposition to what you are doing.

Yet the energy in the normal planetary field as it is found widely, is very limited, and easily fractured - broken, in fact.

There is not enough space here to detail all of the facts about this, but where Ammon Hillman's theories should lead, is back to the basic starting point of Western culture and civilization from just before the Pelasgians, to what you might as well say is 'Atlantis' because that is the essential framework involved:

The myth story outlines an ancient practice of prior beings here other than 'modern humans,' which turned into the obelisk symbolism all over the Mediterranean including in Egypt and Babylon. This practice entails the regular receiving of energy from somewhere 'above.' The Asherah poles that the gay boy-king Josiah caused to be destroyed in the kingdom of Judah in the 7th century BC were the same thing. The reason he took away the actual original Ark of the Covenant and buried it somewhere was for the same cause.

(Original) Obelisks and Asherah poles connect people of the same natural energy.

With the stress on the word 'connect.' At least in the context of the human society the main thing is connection.

Modern human global technology systems of communication are fed into, with ideas and ideologies from you-don't-know-where. 

Barbagallo is the local
Ferrari dealer.
And - because I like cars, right!

But you will will find, that far from diversity being the result, amorphous monolithic cultural rigorous control, is the actual result. And that is intended.

The energy of the people in the world today, is unnatural. It claims to be inclusive and diverse, but in fact it is small, monolithic, and highly-controlled.

'You were called to Liberty, not to enslavement.'

In order to be free though, you have to have the right form of energy.

Don't ever make the foolish mistake of thinking there are not super-advanced space platforms just off the Earth nearby, manned (populated!) by very clever and rather intense though, I would have to say, beings from quite far away, who can do a lot more than just send and receive a few parallel wavy line drawing imagines into your brain and out from it.

'Seeing' and 'getting' is one thing - using what you get is going to be a 'knife-fight,' as they say.

But use you must and you will, as soon as you see.

Seeing is easy; believing is not so easy because of how much sophisticated and successful brainwashing has gone on on this planet for millennia. Not everyone is going to make it out of here, alive and in one piece.

Don't worry the pieces can be put back together. Eventually.

Old Money From Midas - The Revelation

I do think that for those who are only just entering into the world of mind communication outside of basic words and symbols, then yes, for sure the basic pathway can indeed be via a simplified form of remote viewing (which in any case is not all that simple to be honest). 

This involves a limited set of  image cards that - as the recent poster here explained - you can tie to a set of numbers and use those to try and send or receive correct information. The simple line images are like this one:

LOL - a wavy line; 
I couldn't find two parallel
wavy lines.
Otherwise I would have posted 
that.

On the one hand this does tend to eliminate some of the complicated dimensions that are required in order to engage the full suite, as it were, of the mind's appreciation of sensory signalling - on the other hand for a lot of us here we are a long way up the road from there already.

People with little to no prior exposure to actual 'remote viewing and communicating' will regularly ask - 'But how can you be so sure that you are always accurately getting information? Even if you got some target image cards right it does not mean there is any authentically reliable process occurring.'

The fact is at some point there is a section in the mind, a literal faculty, which opens up virtually something like a window, not so much even just a 'screen' - through which you see clearly and with all other sense channels working as well.

I'll admit few people get to this stage but those like Ingo Swann absolutely did.

But in the end these matters all boil down to one thing and one thing only - it's the spiritual thing: which religion is really 'True' and is there actually some kind of 'God' and what are we supposed to do about it (whether the thing is true or whether it is not meaning that there is no such thing as God).

Here is the answer and it is an absolute answer.

I will be quoting people but I do not need to say who I am quoting, just take it from me that I am saying it...

I took this pic
myself.

Kind of has wavy lines in it too.

"The soul is denied truth unwillingly."

And,

"For the intellect to accede to truth, it requires that the intellect already possesses some innate means to agree, and that means we call 'soul.' "

The soul lives forever and yet that is not to say outright that 'you are god' or 'a god.'

A god is only that being with intellect which is nearest to Truth in every aspect of Itself. That there are gods - plural - is thus a self-evident fact provided by the statement of logic here; provided that one understands that individuals in existential reality are male and female, children, adults, the very old, everything in between. 

Truth as non-intellect imbued master-templates (in other words, something like 'the Laws of Physics' or principles of physics), is not any kind of superior Deity, either!

So there is in fact no prospect that there is only One God, who is different to all the other beings who are close to some aspect of pure Truth because that is monomania, monolithic - nonsensical, in fact. To accede to the True Knowledge (as an intellect, divine or otherwise) of being female, a thing must in fact be female. So, God who is only male but has intellect, is a non-existent thing; same as a God who is neither male nor female is also a non-existent thing since it cannot Truthfully know those states of being which also have living intellects and souls.

And again, you cannot have a living being closest to the best example of 'female,' and then yet have some 'superior' other being who is not in any way akin to the idea of 'female.' Same goes for every other thing possessing an intellect.

What this means is that it tells us something very important about us!

Going back to the intellect's ability to accede to Truth - that the human makes (is able to make) choices and decisions in its life, that try and get closest to what is Truthfully Good, absent of the material physical presence of a guiding deity, means that it, although not god per se, is certainly, most assuredly, part of the 'Divinity set-up' because it possesses an important aspect of God in it. Namely, it can be, that is to say, become like unto, perfect examples of the expressions of 'Good' - and when it does that automatically it enters into the realm of really Divine Beings.

That is just a logical fact statement.

Okay okay they have big slant-y
eyes and long fingers.
They're also incredibly
dexterous with hands and feet.
LOL If you got what I just said.

Here, let me reduce this down to a simpler idea, whose import will have an amazing response in your mind...

Let's say, a 'committee or council' of Divine Beings all agree (which they must do, always) to some decision regarding you, and to make things meaningful to you in this example, to your condition of material wealth.

Let's say they decide that you will be rich.

And you, since your soul accedes to this Truth, agree that it is Good, in your personal case at this time, that you are rich.

Well tell me, does this involve some 'games-of-the-mind,' on your behalf, in a sense, seeing that the closeness to templates of Truth are what constitutes Divine Actions.

Yes it does, it must do. Your mind is actively thinking about the 'why' and the 'Goodness' of it. I have called it a mind game, but I mean that it is the mind thinking dynamically.

And when you play those games, in your mind - how sure are you that you are using correct information...?

I hope you observed that we have gone back to something like a phrase that was used right up at the start here. 'How can you be so sure that you are always accurately getting information...' That phrase.

See it's that your internal mind and intellect accedes to some Truth -, that all of this, all of religion, really, is about.

Do not doubt for a single second that real gods do not have absolute rage about what humans do and how they too often behave (that is, badly). 

But notice too, with how much subtlety this whole thing proceeds.

The soul which has limited repetitions of acceding to Truth, is thus limited into the human mortal arrangement -, but it is not destroyed or cast away. 

But...

This is the reason you will not see masses of super fantastic ultra-advanced ET Alien spacecraft up above simply everybody's heads, for everyone to see.

This is the reason you'd better hope like hell, Jesus does not suddenly appear 'out of the clouds' as they say it, returning to Judge the Living and the Dead! 

Has extremely good vision...

All you want to have happen is for you to be judged. And I mean adjudged nearest to the rightest ways of behaving for the mostest longest time on the planet that reliably indicates what you are (what you are like inside).

Great English, isn't it. 

Yes it is, I think so, if'n I do say so myself. 

You want to be judged right now, right?

Are you getting the drift about true 'religion,' here?

These are the words of King Midas, Lord of Wealth.

And they are True. ...I just heard them a few seconds ago and have told them to you.

By No Human Hand...

Just remember I said it first, and you saw it here.

And what does that relate to?

Well you'll find out. Patience.

One thing that is worth saying right now though, is - don't think for one second that you are not important enough. You are what is important. Nothing and no one else is. Not governments, not large institutions (or small ones) or bodies of knowledge and ideologies. Just you, and those others like you.

In a few minutes I will be meeting someone. This is one of those 'funny ear' people. But no cameras allowed. Damn. lol

Those ones. Oh yes.

What are we going to be talking about? We're going to be talking about music.

Let me tell you something about music that you might already know.

There is a thing called 'the inverse in-harmonics function of time.' Musical harmonics is a predictive science in human terms except it is not 'predictive;' it is certain. It is a law of certainty.

Music does not come from the linear progression of notes where at some point if you stop the linear progression then harmonics and future notes are merely predictable - they are in fact certain.

Music is certainty.

Have you ever thought about world religions, you know, the big ones, and wondered whether in some there is produced a greater psychological benefit to the individual (none of them make miracles, right, as far as the newspapers say...) than in others. That is, are some religions, and their rites and rituals, superior in any ways? 

What about the actual underlying core 'ideas of faith?'

Good, pretty good.
This is real - in the sense that this
is something the US has and makes
and flies.

Is any one religion more 'true' than any other one?

These are extremely important questions because it can be that none of them are 'true' at all and that there is no real power entailed in 'religious  beliefs' and ideas and instead, that they are all deviations from facts, truth, and reality - and that would be very harmful.

Yet at the same time, as I suggested, the newspapers don't send camera crews into any one of them to film amazing unscientific departures from scientific expectation or standard reality.

While over recent days I have been proposing various approaches and methods of transmitting thoughts across time and space to hypothesized 'Aliens' - out there - who are technologically quite capable of hearing you, at the same time no doubt at all there will be people who are saying to themselves 'Oh this is not working' or, 'not working at full blast' at the same time lots of millions and billions of people follow religious systems and ideologies at the heart of which literally are such propositions albeit molded into the deistic rather than the extra-natural object of 'Contact.'

I think if I put it in musical terms things may become clearer:

Which one would you rather go see if you had the choice - actual Jimi Hendrix or actual Eric Clapton (when he was...) or actual Page or Gallagher; or cover bands doing their music?

The closer you get to the real thing, the more certain and more material and palpable the outcome.

Don't Just Guess

Other people guess. That's what others do.

Don't do it, it's a pointless exercise.

People guess in the absence of obvious things.

But then what also happens is they mistake subtlety for the merely inobvious...

The Coming of the Messiah is very inobvious.

Both for Christians as well as for Jews. Yet - both of them do not deny the Kingdom of David; that David is King. The mere fact that Christians follow the Son of David does not mean they deny that David is (also) King.

The Dark Side of 'religion.'
LOL

But who is this 'David?'

Well... It's actually 'Dovid,' isn't it. Or 'Dov.' Even 'Tov.'

And that is because when the Bible was back-constructed/translated into the Hebrew the highly literate transcribers knew very well where all of the stories were coming from - the Book of Susanna in the Bible (later just a story in the Book of Daniel) for example, so completely proving that the Hebrew was a much later re-construction because of the Greek puns that have no Hebrew equivalency, nor even vocabulary equivalents, that it does not occur in most Hebrew versions.

'David' is conflated with the Latin 'Ovid.' And Ovid is a Latin poet who turned the songs and stories of Orpheus into the Roman culture and language of his era - from 43 BC to 17 AD.

So don't guess that you know who or what 'God' is. Certainly don't do it from modern cultural positions derived from politically-spun folklore filtered through manuscript cultures which a never-ending list of tyrants or emperors or monarchs relied on to memorialize their 'laws' which they wanted to put against the people and control them therewith.

'The just person lives by faith - he is in no need of any written laws.' This is directly from the Bible, but it is also from Socrates and others of his type.

Of what possible purpose or need, does 'God' have, to write laws into human language and put these down into stone - or worse, paper?

You can write down the circle of fifths all day long, and place the scales around an octagon  design, but it will not make you a musician unless you have music within you.

These things help us to understand complex things in our conscious minds, but oftentimes, we already have them at a hidden level of consciousness.

These graphic designs and written constructions help us think about abstract ideas, but also invisible yet completely real, ones.

Oh but Calvin, I cannot 'see' God, and I also did not received any signal back, from your all-fired ET Aliens when I applied (tried to apply) the instructions!

I did. I don't know what you are doing!

We are not guessing here.

Human beings have become almost completely - that is, the vast majority of any given population is - transactional: needing something, requiring to gain something and attempting to permanently trade or exchange less valuable things they command, for what they truly want to have and to take off someone else.

They do not ask you spontaneously and meaningfully, how you are. They are not actually interested in you, just what you have for them.

Congressional Hearings over the recent matter of what are being termed 'UAPs' continually ask expert witnesses this kind of question - 'What do they want? What do you believe they are here for? Are they a risk or a danger?'

Nobody asks 'How do we want them to see us?' Or 'Let's ask them how're things with them.'

Because naturally, everyone, especially the Pentagon, thinks they can pull the wool over anyone's eyes all the time - even super-intelligent, super-advanced ET Aliens.

And then that would be to get, something that is presumed that they will have which is not yet something that 'we' (humans) actually have.

Meanwhile, I am telling you that they only want to engage with you.

But you have to be prepared, that when they give you their number, you will be taking and getting materially, more from off other human beings because of what you learn, than directly any material things from these long distance travelers themselves.  

Are they risky or are they dangerous?

Well not necessarily but you will be -, to all of the other humans in the human race that is being left far behind.
