  • Archons (Commanders) [NOTICE: They Are NOT Anlien Parasites], and Then, in a Mirror Image of the Great Emanations of the Pleroma, Hundreds of Lesser Angels
    A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

  • New Screen Order: How Video Games Are Changing Cinema Interiority
    www.thecine-files.com FEATURED SCHOLARSHIP New Screen Order: How Video Games Are Changing Cinema Interiority David Sedman and Randy Clark “Final Fantasy is nothing more than an extravagant video game in which characters fix things, fly things, gather things and shoot things . .(A)fter a while, you want to play it, not just watch it.” -- Robert Wilonsky, film critic1 When Tron was released in 1982, it was quickly recognized as the first significant interface between a motion picture and a video game. In Tron, the main character, Kevin Flynn, is transported from a realistic setting to a video game setting. Once Flynn becomes a part of the video game interface, the audience’s frame of reference becomes the gamespace. While most critics focused on the visual aspects of Tron—Variety for example, calls it “loaded with visual delights but fall(ing) way short of the mark in story and viewer involvement”—the direct translation of the video game characteristics to the movie theater screen would prove to be the more significant trend in the defining of space in American popular film.2 The spatial relationships of the characters in Tron, the camera’s point of view, and the actor’s relationship to the environment are key elements that define the film’s interiority. In the 28 years between the original Tron and its sequel, Tron: Legacy, a very profound transformation came to the movie industry as films created with character- generated imagery (CGI) and having game-like sequences became commonplace.This article discusses how the influences of gaming have transformed character motivations and production processes within cinema.

    BATMAN SUPERMAN WONDER WOMAN: TRINITY PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Matt Wagner | 208 pages | 01 Jul 2005 | DC Comics | 9781401201876 | English | New York, NY, United States Batman Superman Wonder Woman: Trinity PDF Book Not bad for someone from the Caribbean, eh? It switches between Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and a narrator, often on the same page, often when more than one of those characters is in that panel. Enlarge cover. In the Batcave, Batman explains to Superman that the total of missiles are half a dozen, meaning there is four left. He also doesn't know how to write a convincing female character. When it is revealed that Bizarro did it, someone who wears something similar to Superman's costume, Diana feels embarrassed that they thought it was Superman. He later sends a letter to his employer, Nightwing , saying that the person who was committing the crimes must be Edward Nigma, but, as he is innocent, he has no idea of what to make out of it. The people of the planet are all about to kill themselves, when Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman arrive. Soon, the two heroes get attacked, but Diana is already fast enough to be deflecting the bullets. Something tells me it's stolen. Meanwhile, the Friends Alfred's group hear a story from the Pilgrims as to how Atmahn, the Night Judge the god-like form of Batman within the Egg once rescued a child whose family had been killed, empowering him to fight back criminals, giving him the name of Rabat of the Golden Wing. Because Wagner's oft-basic writing wasn't entirely up to the task of bringing about much further characterization in the time available to him, many of these efforts just led to scenes that felt dragged on, or ended up killing some of the narrative momentum.

On the Cover Village meeting during the mass movement to adjust land distribution Ten Mile Inn, Hebei Province This picture was taken by David Crook in March 1948 in the village of Ten Mile Inn, which was located in the Jin-Ji-Lu-Yu base area 275 miles southwest of Beijing. During a long village stay in 1947-1948, David and Isabel Crook observed the campaign to adjust an earlier round of land distribution. This photograph was taken at a village meeting conducted by a work team in Ten Mile Inn's temple courtyard. Isabel Crook writes, “The work team made a special point of getting the women to be active in the movement and pressed them to attend. The ones that came were mainly the young wives with their babies. They were not asked to sit separately but this was what tradition called for. Cottage weaving was one of the main cottage industries that supplemented income from farming. Young and middle-aged housewives wound the yarn and set up the frames to load the looms.” Gail Hershatter University of California, Santa Cruz AAS President Photograph by

  • Capitalism and Schizophrenia in Gotham City
    Capitalism and Schizophrenia in Gotham City – The Fragile Masculinities of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Trilogy by Annette Schimmelpfennig, University of Cologne, Germany Abstract My article examines the various presentations of masculinity in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Trilogy and their dependency on gadgets and theatricality. The success of a man’s performance of his masculinity is measured in how convincing he is as either hero or villain and in his exertion of power. I argue thereby that the men appearing in the three installments are stereotypes that cater to a heteronormative world view and constantly need to reassure their sexuality and gender affiliation to persist within the society of Gotham. By contrasting the films’ protagonist Bruce Wayne and his superhero alter ego Batman with the villains, I conclude that the masculinities are fragile because they strongly depend on money, physical strength and control over other, physically and financially weaker people, otherwise they are not of value for the predominant heterocentric, capitalist community. I thus want to stress that the city (and through it the films themselves) requires an immaculate masculinity that is as good as unattainable and promotes obsolete role models. Furthermore, I will point out the subordinate role of femininity in the films which again emphasize the films’ focus on the desire for a hypermasculine saviour. 1 When Batman Begins was released in 2005, critics praised Nolan’s adaptation for its gritty realism and departure from Joel Schumacher’s campy vision of the superhero who was originally created by Bob Kane in 1939 1 . With villains who are more terrorists than troublemakers and a direct connection between capitalism and crusade, it is striking how Nolan’s hero may be progressive concerning comic book verisimilitude but languishing with regard to its presentation of masculinity and femininity.
