Turning Points Part 2
In the movie, The Piano, there seem to be several turning points. The main character (Helen Hunt) is married off to New Zealand. There she falls in love with a laborer, employee of her husband. Seeming turning points.
Why are these not real turning points?
We will only be dealing with created, conscious, turning points, not when life changes or we change, but it’s not conscious. These are moments when we are unusually strongly connected to Life, and thus can cause our lives to turn instead of continuing down the same unproductive path.

Want to enslave a man? rob the man of his common sense
If you want to enslave a man, the best and fastest way to go about it is to rob the man of his common sense, his guidance system. The feelings.
Train him to not trust his feelings. To not even feel them. Or call them emotion names.
Train him that he can’t trust his feelings. Train him that all decisions should be made by men smarter than him. And by all means, train him that he can’t be trusted to made decisions about the education, the health about his children.
Train him by printing on plastic bags that they should not be put in the cradle… because a child may suffocate playing with it… Do this so the man will stop thinking for himself and start relying entirely on thing being given to him chewed and digested.

The real turning point, in the movie, happens on the way back to the States: Helen Hunt’s character decides to end her life. She, unbeknownst to others, ties her ankle to her beloved piano. Half way to the ship (I think) she orders the men to throw the piano overboard. They comply and the heavy piano pulls Helen Hunt’s character to the depth of the ocean.
Updated: Soul Correction: Fearless
Fear is an issue. It’s universal. You have it, I have it. You have to have it. It is the 200,000 year old hardware… where your life was lived out in an environment where everything was a threat to your survival.
Today’s fears are the same, except today the threats to your survival are missing… and yet, the fears continue.
Your path to the next level of evolution, Human Being, is the beingness of fearless… where you consider fear a necessary evil, and you take it with you wherever you go, big and small, safe or dangerous, like you would take a child with you who needs your support.
