deliberate unconscious dreams of beauty affect the mass consciousness. the individual's will is not limited to accepted factions. remember the choice to have a beautiful mind. we directly affect reality in desire,imagination and attitude. anyone shaped by persuasions of greedy indifferent spirit,becomes evident in selfish survivalist deception of fallen nature that leads to depersonalized bleakness and emptiness. to live for a principle of love and the sovereign source of all realities is unstifled,uncompromised by brainwashed beliefs that there is no choice in what reality is.
Hi MSFF - What a GREAT festival! Congrats to all the participants. I really enjoyed the films. Thanks for having me play, too...It was fun :) ~peace~ Jennifer Lee
