Do what we watch and listen to affect our minds?

[Roaring Springs]

Is it true that what we watch and listen to affect our minds?

Please be forewarned that this is a spoiler alert to a movie, and that it's greusome!

I was watching Scream 2 a while ago and I was... i can't find the right word but Oh my God the second opening murder!!! I mea- Ghostface stabbed the female indivisual once in the stomach and she got up with a lot pain. I'm not going to go into detail to be considerate to others but the emotions of pain on her face when she was being stabbed, all those times in the back!

The sadder part was... nobody was helping her. It wasn't their fault and it wasn't like they WEREN"T trying to help her, it was just that they were at a permier of another scary movie and there were a bunch of Ghostfaces with fake knives and stuff, so the rest of the audience thought she was faking when the real Ghostface killer was chopping her up.

When they realized she wasn't faking is when she got up on the stage shouting out to everyone... She can only whine and whale out with her bloody body and she made out one final cry and died right there. She was showing everyone she was being killed.

Her name was Maureen Evans by the way and her role was protrayed by Jada Pinkett Smith.

So- That scene was SOOO dramatic OMG!!! I need a counselor to talk to about this! I could not seem to stop thinking and being paranoid about that death! If you've seen Scream 2 already you should know what I mean. I've been thinking about it soo much that one night not too long ago, i had a dream Maureen was being taken into the ambulance van and the paramedics were applying guages to her wounds...

I just can't get that scene out of my head. Her death did not have to be that bad. But it was. So anyway you might be asking, "What does this have to do with the Law of Attraction?"

Well... it does involve the mind and subconsscious mind so yeah... and the Universe brings me what I think and feel about. Here's my experience. I was just watching a part I wanted to see in Scream 2 again on YouTube and accidently went back to when Maureen was being stabbed in her gut. My heart was RACING with FEAR! I had to take some deep breaths and tell myself "None of this is real, it's just a movie!" not that that advice helps anywya... I don't even like the regualr name "Maureen" thanks to that scene! Whenever I see someone's name Maureen I always think about that scene! THIS is crazy. Please help me smebody!

Thoughts? Comments?

 And mods, I do apologize for the sick details... I may weed them out if you all wish.
Oh! If you plan on watching Scream 2, I'm warning you all RIGHT NOW! Do not watch the opening murders!!! They are sick, terrifying, dramatic, and will have paranoid about it for a LONG time.

All I can say to this is that it's hard watching a person die. To see someone die is to see the pain, the anguish and the desperation with the inability to do anything for themself - as well as you being unable to help them. That is probably what is going on in your mind. Many combat soldiers out there in Iraq and Afghanistan come back with the same things - the fact that they saw death happening; saw the faces of those being killed and the desperation written all over their faces as well as the crying out in their voices - they could do nothing for them. It is a common thing with humans in general. I get chills - and more often, sick to my stomach - thinking of when children go through the same things. They are so young, so innocent and the fact is, the first person(s) that come to mind are usually their mother or father to help them. All the while the mom and dad are unknowing of what's happening to their child. It is heartwrentching and I can understand what you saw and felt with that movie. Death is something not easily swallowed, but it is a fact of life. Back in the day, early humans didn't fear death as much as we did - they accepted it as the cycle of life. Thing is, they didn't have the creative brutality and many sickos in our world as we do - that is subject to debate, I know, but for example . . . Dying naturally is easy to accept, but being murdered, mutilated, raped, beaten, etc . . . is not easily digested into the norms of death. That is the force of death upon a person by another person - it should not be that way, but it is something to be accepted in our time. My heart goes out to many out there - the mothers, girlfriends, wives, sisters, brothers, sons, dads, and soldiers who have lost their lives by another's hand. If I were able to, I would make those killers lives a living hell. And I would enjoy it.

I am truly InJoying you IsaoftheVeil.

I have felt this way too in my experiencing. The choice of choosing the thought of ~ it is hard to see or watch someone die or suffer at the hand of another; the experiencing of Life viewed in finite form (time limits, endings of where something began) cutting off InFinite Formlessness (Eternity, never ending, end meets beginning and so on) through our ideas of what we define as experiencing pain, anguish, desperation in believing in the inner ability to do anything for them, not feeling able to help them. It reminds me of a sensation felt, the distinct feeling of what it would feel like to be the Author of Life from my own view and create my characters whom have now taken on a 'life' of their own without any of your original 'intentions' ...  Your very own Life has given Life to ...

A wait!! This is not HOW IT IS what I Intended!! kind of expression. Now, HOW to go about revealing this otherwise ... in a story of a cast of characters whom are totally into their own version of the Original story ... while the Author comes to a place of observing without stepping in to stop it ... all the while, the Author is 'blamed' for the outcomes ...

Like the characters saying, be fair and let me do what I want to do and do not interfere. Author says, Okay. Things go awry in characters creating and then turning to Author says, why are you not fixing my messes?!?! Well, because I honor my promise, my Word to you to Allow you to live according to the ways you have chosen and requested ... You chose to 'dis -agree' with me not the other way around ...

Having experienced death in my own life stories in various ways, my own (symbolically) and of those around me (literally) ... seeing them once gone, 'returning' into my Life in different ways through different forms and masks, leads me into a deeper understanding ...

Death is Life in Shadow Forms ... Life is death in shadow forms or to do simple math like a child who doesn't think about such things in these ways ~ IT IS what IT IS ~ All leads me back to Source of LIFE ~

InJoying the idea of what we view as killers living their just due in a living hell, is for me (I own myself and my own thoughts) a sign that indeed ( through my deeds or acting in my thoughts and doings) this is a part of me I would like to see dead. HOW? Because I am doing to what I define as being worthy of hell based on my own imaginings of what hell is and who is 'worthy' of hellfire. Jesus spoke of this ... now, it makes more sense ...

Guilty!! As charged, now comes the sentencing the punishment to relieve (re-leave, RE-LIVE) the guilt. Guilt requires Punishment. A form of sinning against ones 'God' ~ Source of LIFE ~ You take a portion of Life, you must return it ... to bring balance, equalibrium to Life ~

This idea being of course whether or not we understand that indeed we are the Creators of our Reality ...

Embrace the Shadow side and bring it into the LIGHT of LIFE ...

How does it 'compare'? We kill ourselves when we kill the killers. We are the ones that define what IS _____________ fill in the blanks. Life, Love, Hate, Death, GOD or whatever name or definition of ones Source is ... that gives purpose and meaning to even being here at all and musing on such topics ...

Is it heartless to say that one whom we see is killing a 'Loved One' is showing us perhaps, we are not as accepting of and knowing of

Love without definitions? Embracing one whom we see as being a killer is perhaps our Shadow side rising ...

Do we have enough Love in us to embrace the Death Spectre in us?

In Imaginary Crone Fashion ... cackling in Delight,

Much Love Isa embracing you, stirring the pot, the exlixir ~

What arises? ...

Julia musing ~ in the gathering of the bones, fleshing out the flesh and hair and breathing through the fire ~

LIFE in All its forms...

Much Love for allowing my humorous or funny 'bone' expressions,

Julia
