giving life-is boomerang
All life is a boomerang. We receive what we give.
hollywood would-be impulse
no one ever really leaves Hollywood. No one really leaves unless they are called away by God. Even then, the impulse would be to come back again and make a movie about the experience.
hurt reflection talking
We feel the urge to tell the truth as we see it. But we should try to accomplish this without judgemental condemnations that hurt others. Again, when we remember that what we perceive in another is a reflection of ourselves, we become less judgemental. So when we freely express harsh judgement of another, we are in effect talking about those aspects of ourselves that trouble us the most.
children smart people
Hollywood always had a streak of the totalitarian in just about everything it did. The old moguls were essentially hard-fisted authoritarians who had created a system of linked dictatorships to control the creative people. We were supposed to be the children; mad, tempestuous, brilliant, talented, not terribly smart children.

The loss of magic is the denial of unlimited possibility.
heart weapons heart-melt
Melt their weapons, melt their hearts, melt their anger with love.

If we can genuinely honor our mother and father we are not only at peace with ourselves but we can then give birth to our future.

Listen to sounds beyond silence.
evil realizing mankind
Until mankind realizes that there is, in truth, no good, and there is, in truth, no evil-there will be no peace.

You know, I have never had a casting couch proposition in my life. I thought there was something wrong with me.
doe bonding dependence
bonding through dependence never works, whereas bonding through freedom always does.
travel journey traveled
I've always thought I was looking for myself whenever I traveled. Like a journey anywhere was really a journey through myself.
mean desire dimensions
I mean, I'm just speaking of my own experiences and my own desires, and it's a kind of a childlike wonder that could really possibly speculate on other dimensions.
