Having spent some considerable period of time fascinated by,researching and working with Memory,Dreams,Memes and Attention(And in the process of launching seminars on said subjects) it was with some interest that I decided to view the film “Inception”.
I am not sure what my expectations at the time where as they obviously changed as soon as the film began, and I have no real recollection of what they were…Haven’t I
What is of personal interest is who decided to launch a film that might peak Peoples curiosity in subject areas dear to my heart just as I am launching “Mindful Dreaming” and refining “A reflection of reality”(Subject: Memory) and “The bridge between Worlds”(Subject: Attention).Who or whatever decided on this timing my thanks and I will milk it for all its worth
The film itself was a stonking good action film (technical term) with a number of thought-provoking themes (I have already read numerous tweets intellectualising its content as you do?) raising questions about reality,dreams,idea installation(memes),memories and yes attentional shifts.
Having had it compared to “The Matrix” I would suspect that it will be discussed in a similar way yet hope it remains a single film (no parts 2 and 3 blah, unless I get astounding numbers for my seminars and a sequel might boost said numbers hmmmmm
)
The fun part is that most of the ideas/plot lines are achievable.I will expand on this in a week or so when more people have had a chance to see the film(ooops am I installing the idea you should see it?????????) as I do not wish this output to become a spoiler.
Now back to the title of this post , as you might have heard (if you haven’t you are now) I have launched a new one day seminar/come workshop on the subject of understanding and working with dreams called
“Mindful Dreaming”.
The second date has been decided(though its possible others may be inserted between now and then) . The 26th September 2010 (A Sunday this time, outside of the holiday period and a weekend as requested).As previously supplied there is an attached .pdf with the booking contact information.
I will send out a post over the next 2 weeks highlighting the areas in “Inception”covered during the programmes,those of you that have seen the film are welcome to discuss the content with me privately at your leisure.
” Information/Knowledge,News of difference is found at the boundaries between things”…as you fall asleep or wake up you are crossing the boundaries between multiple states of awareness…what if you could increase a conscious understanding of what is available at these boundaries?
Would You?
