Negative uses of Power

I follow Joe Rogan on Twitter and he posted a link to this video earlier today. This video definitely shows negative uses of power. Even though it is based more on an American system it still provides some food for thought. Please post anything that comes to mind when you watch this short video. Hopefully we can continue our talks from class here on this blog.

Blue Pill

Finally watched the other 2 Matrix and still on my ok list. But i notice more of the power in the first one.
I also watched a 2012 the other night, kind of a ridiculous movie, but i still enjoy it and suggest it, especially because of the whole theory behind it and how it has everyone in a fuss. Either way... i wonder if im going to be the only one this semester blogging. Oh well.

Red pill

I am deffinatly a first time "blogger" so this is going to be interesting..
I wasn't able to stay after class to watch the movie, which was the Matrix, so i dug through my piles of movies and realized that i had never seen any of them. So i've watched the first one so far and I, of many few, actually enjoyed this movie and will be watching the next 2 soon.
and yes i noticed all the control, seduction and influence throughout this movie, which is great for this course.. obviously.

Kundalini

Here is a link for an interview of Gopi Krishna on his personal Kundalini experience. It is quite interesting. I hope there are others who are familiar with this topic here on this blog. Write back if you watch it.

And now for something really obscure but hilarious in this courses context:

And with that hvae a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

The Power Of Consciousness - Bruce Lipton

Here is a link to a video on power and our choices and being aware of it all. I cant take all the credit for this because I saw the link when Navrattan posted it on his facebook so I watched it and thought it would be good for the ol' blog. LOL

Wrap Up

Hey classmates,
So just wanted to make a final post on here thanking everyone for their insights through the class on power. I certainly learned a lot from the course. Today I find that my life has become a bit simpler. I've slowed down and I recognize moments of power and I find myself actually pondering what matters and what's important. I don't lash out to create power dynamics as much anymore. It's really crazy to look back at my notes and see what we were all saying at the beginning of the course and how far we have come and how we see power and can reverse it to use it back against people or to neutralize it. Every time I watch movies now I am thinking of the power dynamics between characters (thanks Les) and analyzing everything. I was watching Law abiding Citizen the other day and that is some crazy power. Anyone who hasn't watched it should certainly take a night to watch it.

I wish everyone the best of luck in their relationships within their lives and I hope this course has helped everyone as it has helped me. If you ever have time to read Les's book I highly recommend it. I have started it and it's just elaborating on everything he's taught us throughout the course. Power will always be evident but it can be positive. I'm working to be a better person and less of a control freak.
