THEREFORE ACTORS’ MUST BE PREPARED TO BE CAST... “Into the blistering wilderness... The man who walked with kings Now walks alone Torn from the pinnacle of royal power Stripped of all rank and earthly wealth A forsaken man without a country Without a hope His soul in turmoil like the Hot winds and raging sands That lash him with a fury of a Taskmasters whip He is driven forward always forward By a God unknown Toward a land unseen Into the molten wilderness of sin Where granite sentinels Stand as Towers of living death To bar his way Each night brings the black Embrace of loneliness In the mocking whispers of the Wind he hears the echoing Voices of the dark. His tortured mind wondering if They call the memory of past Triumphs or wail Foreboding of disasters yet to Come, or whether the desert Hot breath has melted his reason Into madness. He cannot cool The burning kiss of thirst upon his lips Nor shade the scorching fury of The sun, All about is desolation He can neither bless nor curse The power that moves him For he does not know from Where it comes Learning that it can be more Terrible to live than to die He is driven onward through The burning crucible of desert Where holy men and prophets Are cleansed and purged For Gods great purpose, Until at last at the end of Human strength, beaten into The dust from which he came The metal is ready for the maker’s hand And he found strength from A fruit laden palm tree And life giving water Flowing from the well...” – Cecil B. DeMill’s “The Ten Commandments” THE WHOLE WORLD IS A STAGE AND EVERY BODY IS PLAYING A PART THROUGHOUT ITS THEATRICAL STAGES OF LIFE, AND SO IT IS SUCH FOR THE BLOSSOMING AND MATURING 'ACTORS' QUEST FOR ANSWERS TO A HIGHER CALLING 'TO BE OR NOT TO BE'. THE ACTORS’ MASTERFUL WORK SHOPS TO BE DONE UPON THIS UNIVERSALLY ARTISTIC AND CREATIVE SOJOURN WHICH EMPOWERS ALL 'ACTORS', ACTING BEYOND ACTING, TO 'ACT' WITHOUT FEAR OF TAKING RISKS! We 'ACTORS' can chose to be cowards and shy away from being the best of the best as creative Human Beings, however as 'Actors', we are encouraged more then ever to face the music and dance. 'MAKE IT, BANK IT, BRING THE BACON HOME, and don't spend it, but use it wisely' is an affirmation being applied explicitly during this evolutionary sojourn of life energy. The strategic plan for action within inaction is action's essential motivation for every 'Actor' to select their place amongst the heavenly stars. The universal vat of material, physical and spiritual riches, overflows with creative energy to accelerate beyond the past, present and future timeframes. The reincarnations of infinite character beings inspire the simplest approach in living the fullness of life - take every thing one day at a time and then let it go - life can't be beat. The powerful acting impulse within the natural born 'Actor' requires a determination to discover, explore, create and refine successes defined on an individual basis. Nobody is better and/or worse than another in the theatrical web of life. It takes everything created to produce this Universe, therefore we are pretty darn special (Human Beings). There isn't anything or anybody capable of stopping a free willing of soul manifesting into and out of theatrical endeavors. The innate and uncanny ability, insight and wisdom of how to manage what is earned through productivity are assets of a lifetime that each 'Actor' must use in order 'To Be'. How much energy is required and/or spent earning the claim to a place in the sun can't be measured by 'Actors', 'Artists', or any living soul. Life is too vast, free flowing, and uncontainable! We 'Actors' must use all the tools in the box (SPIRITUAL, MATERIAL, PHYSICAL) that are accessible to us. We cannot afford to compromise creative and artistic endeavors simply to satisfy a small portion of Humanity regardless of whatever status is achieved. We cannot rest on any laurels within the eyes of the show biz industries communal framework. It is imperative that we 'Actors' like fellow 'Artists' never succumb to the vulture oriented mentality divvying up the goods around the globe to destroy the potential possibility of living, working and having an enriched 'Actors' life. The world of ‘Mankind’ divides us and pits us against one another through encouraging competition filled with jealousy, envy, resentments, etc., by the excessive displays of accolades for the chosen few. This is delusion. Every ‘Actor’ must know the worth and value of being a part of Creation. We 'Actors' know all too well that we must not be deceived. We must embrace the neutral zone in specific appreciation for evolutionary expressions of life energy. When we sing the praises of Creation then we know we are on the right track. Like all 'Artists', we 'Actors' are in command to live the life! We must fulfill our duty with command to inspire the audiences of meandering souls, via self-mastery, precision, efficiency and impeccable character, instead of walking around in silent desperation, worries and/or pains which we inflict upon ourselves. We are not here to appease or please the triple 'F' (family, friends, foes), and most of all never to give in to the societal constructs of mankind's belief systems of genteel poverty, destitution, lack and greed. We are not desperately seeking tomorrows when we know we only have today to shine bright as the star. The 'Actor' must be organized in pursuit of any dream or goal, well read and educated, and endowed with brilliance and awareness of every nuance of 'Human' existence in order to be totally free in the 'WORK' which overrides the entrapments of delusion. The understanding that an Actor's 'WORK' is the profound model of truth, honesty, character and integrity of the highest order...GUIDES HUMANITY THROUGH THE GATEWAYS TO HEAVENLY BLISS FROM WHENCE THERE IS NO RETURN! The 'Actors' path like any ‘Artists’ path is arduous. It has been firmly traveled by many great contributors of talent, skills and abilities for the cultivation of Being Human. We as performing 'Artist' accumulate a maximum of information/experience about 'how to', 'need to' and 'what to'...do and not to do to impress the presumed controllers of creative destinations via multiple forums to keep one in subjection, doubt, fear and hopeful security. ENOUGH, ENOUGH, ENOUGH! The truth is that everybody involved in the creative life must overcome the groveling masses of seekers who exploit and manage their exploitation with pride before they fall due to unscrupulous behavior. When gripped by fear, 'Actors' and 'Artists' alike, any Creative person, may become ingenuine in their efforts to serve the utmost highest. The 'Actors' creative empowerment enables the supportive team players to flourish in and off of it's energy; and when this doesn't happen, we ask the question, “does any of it truly work?” (Agents, Casting Directors, Producers, etc.) are the same as the 'Actors'. They are a profound part of the support team required by the ‘Actor’. When approximately 90% of 'Actors' (all creative personas) today are abandoned by the world masses at large, we as a 'Human' race suffer tremendously. We are saturated with all of this industrial information of how to succeed at failing to succeed. Now is the time to turn all of this around and know we are the foundation stones being built upon. The show can only go on with us and never without us! What any 'Actor' does is only as good as it is! When it is put to use and produces affirmative results for the benefit of everybody involved, the 'Actors' unique position represents the inner soul of Human Beings. We are inspired to express through the mediums of Stage, Film and Television, etc., various aspects of infinite ways to demonstrate the 'Human' capacity ‘To Be’. The universality of 'Actors' artistic and creative sojourn' interplay with 'All That Is' within this Heavenly Earthly Kingdom to reveal the truth behind the actions of 'Human' existence during 'The Evolutionary Expressionism of Life Energy'; after all, we have all of the emotions. We are selfless creatures in the service of something greater than selfishness. We search for truth in the 'WORK' we do, and find it to be at the core within the core of the inner Being. WE 'ACTORS' MUST NOT COMPETE, BUT COMPLETE THE TASK AT HAND! The 'Actors' soul mission like all 'Artists' is to be a performing instrument of superlative and divine origin encompassing complex, complicated measures and creative designs; to transcend the glorified mediocrity which deceives the populace in believing beliefs with counter productivity as the reward. The 'Actors' role is one which must take many shapes, forms and sizes while being played in the ‘Human’ world of theatrical illusions. ******We must penetrate masterfully the unbeknownst, and/or achievements of predecessors intent and purpose, to 'ACT' out the divine comedy, with its touch of tragedy, creating the transcendent 'Human' drama. This too is a blessing supreme! We cannot compromise the vision of being ‘Human’ channels of the highest divinity within universal manifestations which embody the voice of total truth, honesty, character and integrity. The 'Thespian Mission', when we choose to accept it, is to interface the playful masks of duality through the creative force’s portal frameworks in stage, film and television production that integrate the essence of life to the maximum evolution of ‘Human’ Being. The 'Actor' is another masked face at play in the scheme of things that is bestowed with the task of bringing through darkness the light and love consciousness out of the Human Being. The greatness within 'Actors', as is within all non-compromising 'Artists', regarding their craftsmanship, skills, abilities and talents is to transcend the psychological and emotional barriers that are manipulated by the fearful masses. We 'Actors' as 'Artists' are the vagabonds, gypsies, queens and kings of the ‘Human’ race. ‘Human’ dignity and grace that comes along with being flexible, chameleon, multi-taskers, and jacks of many trades, adds value to the actor’s self-mastery and is required whether we are becoming known and/or unknown by the populace in this all too fleeting world. When we touch the lives of ‘Human’ Beings through awakened consciousness, then potential 'Human' stages of growth and development will occur. We must use the commercial and non-commercial arena to reveal but never exploit 'The Evolutionary Expressionism of Life Energy' for the whole of Humanity. The 'WORK' is essential! IT MUST BE DONE WITHOUT SEEKING APPROVALS AND ACCEPTANCES, OR ONE WILL BE DOOMED TO DOUBT AND BE FORCED TO CONTINUE SUFFERING IN THE GRIPPED FEARS OF LOOSING SOMETHING ONE NEVER HAD IN THE FIRST PLACE. The 'Actors' chalice is full to overflowing with a pocketful of wisdom. The 'Actors’ command has at its finger tips massive resources invested in working, training and studying to be, do, and have an 'Actors' place in the matrix of this earthly sojourn here and now. The joy is insurmountable when everything done is about the ‘WORK.’ The majority of 'Actors' will do well to just have a place to perform and get compensated adequately in order to continue to live this natural life. Civilians, who assume they have a secure life without the turmoil and upheavals of the creative ‘Human’ Beings, do not and will not understand the life quest of the 'Actors' and/or 'Artists' who retain their freedom through their work. The seeming struggle which civilians perceive that we 'Actors' have to undergo in order to live and be supplied with a life beyond the commonality of mediocre and compromised living styles of fellow ‘Human’ Beings, is a shock to the systems of all beliefs! We ‘Actors’ are also the support to the mass populace which persist in asking, at every opportunity they get, of the 'Actors', 'Artists', 'Creatives', etc., in a derogatory tone of voice, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW?" The normal people feel so badly for creatives trying to be happy and free, and ask “why don’t you get a real job and be like us?”, as though to be secure and miserable is better than starving! Of course, being the presumed derelicts of society and a disgrace to family expectation, leaves us out in the cold, harsh and cruel world without a pot to piss in, until that very world discovers a use for us, and then we are somebody! Then we hear, 'I knew you where going to make it!' We understand that they will never grasp the meaning supplied that we are 'Actors', 'Artists', Creative ‘Human’ Beings whose job and mission on earth is to fulfill a specific task, which includes giving up the life that takes on a superficial reality of complacency and sadness. IT IS HARD, TOUGH AND GLORIOUS! We 'Actors' must do without commonality of mediocrity in order for the others to have their right to choose their superlative lives of existence. It seems everything is geared to control that which is uncontrollable, thereby making a difficult row to hoe. Yes, beloved ‘Actors’, the creative industry suffers primitive and maudlin developmental programs and/or projects in the hope (a useless concept) to achieve more revenues in the name of success which excludes the many who are to benefit from its various institutions that enable 'Actors' and all creative personas to ’WORK, WORK, WORK! The 'Actors' gut instincts and determination to claim their place amongst the stars indeed produces masters beyond survival for the fittest throughout the whole of 'The Evolutionary Expressionism of Life Energy' as...
