When a Screenplay Falls in the Forest

As part of the application to my screenwriting course at Harvard I ask the students to ask me a question. Most of the questions I’ve received are just fine – good indicators of what the student hopes to learn and sometimes what they misunderstand about what screenwriters do. Yesterday I got this question and it [...]

Groundhog Buddhism

Every now and then somebody writes an article or gives a talk about Groundhog Day and its relationship with Buddhism. These are fun for me because I usually learn a lot, and of course get to be amazed (over and over) at the reach of this little movie. One of these articles came to my [...]

Fooled me once…

I have never been a big fan of April Fools Day. That is a good day to be tricked, humiliated, made the butt of jokes, and labeled as a “fool.” What’s the attraction? I suppose it’s a great day for the sadist jokesters, the hoax-makers, the people who will create a big laugh for themselves [...]

Groundhog Resolutions

New Year’s Day has become, for many, the day to begin a new life – this time, without cigarettes. This time without donuts. This time with a positive attitude, and gratitude, and pushups. Today is, as they say, the first day of the rest of your life, although – and here’s the problem – so [...]

To find out how to handle this law of attraction challenge, be sure to check out my latest blog post, "Pervasive Persistence," a review of the gritty new war drama "The Hurt Locker."

Comment by newagebear on July 14, 2009 at 11:43am: I’m delighted to announce my appointment as Featured Contributor for Arts & Entertainment for VividLife magazine, a new web-based magazine and information resource. My weekly column will begin appearing on Wednesday July 15 at 3 pm Eastern time, when the web site goes live at www.vividlife.me.

So what is VividLife? According to Founder Shayne Traviss, “VividLife is an online community of conscious minded, visionary individuals and businesses interested in personal growth, spirituality, conscious living, environmental conservation and protection, and working toward being the absolute best that we can be. VividLife will connect you to the most current, optimistic and inspiring stories, current affairs and research that pertain to opening your mind: eliminating ‘nos,’ ‘cannots’ and ‘impossibles’ and empowering you to utilize its resources to achieve your ultimate life.”

VividLife will cover topics ranging from health and wellness issues to spirituality, eco and green living, yoga and meditation and travel to raising healthy children, pets and personal growth. And, of course, it will feature my writings about movies and conscious creation/law of attraction principles.

I’m thoroughly excited about this new opportunity! So I hope you’ll join me in this new undertaking and visit VividLife, your ultimate life resource.

Comment by newagebear on March 13, 2009 at 8:22am: See the law of attraction/conscious creation in the movies as you've never seen it portrayed before! Check out a new slide show gallery on the subject at www.beliefnet.com, the enormously popular and widely read clearinghouse web site for all things spiritual, religious, metaphysical and philosophical. The 12-slide gallery features key points addressed in my book, Get the Picture: Conscious Creation Goes to the Movies, illustrated beautifully by movie stills from pictures profiled in the book. You can see the gallery at this link:
