Glitz, glam, step into the world of fast-paced Hollywood. The modern artifice of a gripping, edge-of-your-seat movie, a 12 laughs per minute comedy, or a dizzying stimulate the fight or flight nervous system drama, leaving one feeling washed up on a beach with a starfish in your mouth even though you’ve never left your seat. I am careful about what movies I’ll subject myself to, preferring to create my own adventures in real life as I often feel like I’m living inside the movie I’ve just seen for a week or two. Still, one can practice virtual surrendering to what is, whether its falling through space at the speed of light, kissing cannibal spears, or witnessing the horror of the battle of the Lonely Mountain. It, after all, like life, is just an illusion. An illusion of experience that really isn’t happening according to quantum physics. We are 99.9% space and life is itself a hologram. My dear, sweet Alice . . . how far down the rabbit hole are you willing to go? Sitting in a plush, velvet seat the farther the better! But what if the rabbit hole never ends? Truth is, in this expanding universe, it never does.

Be, live, embrace all experience. Find stability and connection within your own heart. It is the only reality that is sure and steadfast, that won’t pull away beneath your feet.
