Thank you for this. In addition to your books, I’d love it if you’d offer a few suggestions of books/movies that are not based on endless conflict - or immature relationship dynamics that never resemble reality.
Thanks for this upbeat article on a day where my household is feeling tense with the election results. I, too, have wondered why we must have such intense conflict in our movies and books. Finding fiction that has a non-violent or intensely uncomfortable theme can be a challenge. I read a lot - fiction and non. I have made a commitment to not complain, and to be more upbeat. It's not as easy to keep as I thought it would be - got to watch those thoughts carefully.
Such a great article. Thank you for all of your work. In my forthcoming book I talk about the Aries conflict as being the hero in everyone else’s story without being the hero in your own story. It’s a common theme in people with headaches, neck pain, and other diagnoses or Aries ruled body parts. Especially the ones with chronic issues or ones that don’t get better easily.
Was telling a friend the other day I would pay good money to see a 2 1/2 hour-long movie where nothing horrible happens, where we’re just soaking up a beautiful, vibrant culture that lives in balance with nature and each other. Like revisiting Avatar’s amazing world of Pandora. How do they do conflict resolution? What Rites of Passage do they have? What does positive sexuality look like/sound like? Show me more flying, swimming, laughing, and playing! Show me all the imaginative art and music they make!

Me, too, Selene.

Your posts help with that.

*Like revisiting Avatar’s amazing world of Pandora *without* the guns, death, and destruction.
Life is amazing and you bring that reality into focus. Appreciate you!
