Hi Domchi and List,
This paragraph resonates with me tonight! I just finished watching the movie
"Pleasantville." Normally on a Wednesday night, I'd be out doing something. I have
been experiencing the effects of a head cold today so instead I thought I'd pop
some Alka-Selzer cold medicine and watch a silly movie.
Pleasantville was about "spreading of consciousness." A brief recap: a boy and his
sister get sucked into a 1950s black and white television sitcom and are stuck
there. It's a pleasant place (thus the name) with one odd quirk--everything is in
black and white and shades of gray. Everything is so pleasant that it has created
a perfect but passionateless community. The basketball team never misses a basket.
Teenagers are all "good." Everyone's lawn is neatly groomed. The weather is always
sunny and 72. Because the world is so perfect, no one ever experiences passion or
vibrancy in life.
Their world starts to change when the sister encourages one of the boys to have
sex with her. Through people's developing consciousness, their world is gradually
transformed from black and white to color. Some people start becoming
technicolored while others at first remain black and white. At the end of the
movie, the whole community is colored.
With the color comes knowing and with knowing comes extreme pleasure but also
pain, peace and war, rainbows and rain. How true this is of our world. It seems to
me that humans fight to have life remain "pleasant." Our black and white world
seems a haven when really it's a prison that encases us within a shallow
existence.
I've been thinking a lot about the barriers we erect around us to keep us free
from hurt and pain. We do this because we think that this is our salvation. Little
do we know that this black and white state is limiting our life. If we don't allow
color into our lives, there comes a point when the universe says, ENOUGH! We are
forced out of comfortable gray into color. This can come in the form of profound
love or excruciating pain. Once that color is introduced into our lives, it
spreads uncontrollably. Maybe that's what kundalini is all about--swathing our
world with color. Our color effects those around us who also start developing
color. Before we know it...the world has been transformed. Once the color
(kundalini) begins, there's no turning back. And would we really want to anyway?
Who would ever know that a silly sounding movie could be so profound! :-)
