HereAfter by Clint Eastwood
I went to see HereAfter this afternoon. It was very right - brained. While it didn't have a coherent beginning, middle and end, it wove together three strands of stories and bound them together with the theme of Death and the Other World. And Love unites it all.
Stories are like collective dreams. This is one of the few movies in recent years that deals with the idea of life after death. It seems once a decade some film maker finally makes a movie with the theme of life after death. Each of those movies has offered us a unique vision of that afterlife. Do you remember the movie, What Dreams May Come? Or Ghost?
The opening scene of HereAfter is horrific in its reality, and all throughout the movie, Clint Eastwood somehow creates an atmosphere of 'reality' that contrasts with the uncertainty of the 'other world'. It's a sharp yet subtle contrast.
HereAfter is not a movie that coddles you. Its characters are annoying, heart-breaking and frustrating at times, just like real people. It is a story of how we can reject a spiritual gift by not knowing how to work with it. But also because other people are afraid of it and how it ends up isolating us from life.
The whole topic of death is so often ignored in Western culture, mainly because we split life from death and stepped out of the Wheel of the Year and nature's cycles. The idea that there is a life after death is so obvious to me - look at the trees and plants; look at the moon; look at the circle of the year. The natural cycles of life say there is gestation, birth, growth, maturity, decline and death. Which is always followed by rebirth!
So have hope in what comes after. It will make us less fearful here on Earth.
HereAfter is well worth seeing, although I don't think you'll put it at the top of your favorites list.

Western Painting - Body Painting - A Contemporary Yet Ancient Style of Being a Canvas
Body Painting - The Intricacies
The origin of body painting is unknown, but its use has been widespread - sometimes as an art form, sometimes as a part of tradition, and the other times, as a necessity. The evidence of body painting is found in ancient practices across various cultures and remains a popular fashion statement in the present times. There is no set style or technique for body painting. It can be a localized design or a fuller one, covering the entire body in some cases. The color pigments used can be natural or synthetic. Similarly, it can be a work of an expert or an amateurish hand of a novice. However, unlike permanent tattoos, body paints are temporary or semi-permanent in nature.
The Geographical SpreadPainting the body was prevalent in ancient Egyptian civilization, where Pharaohs and high-class individuals painted their faces in red ochre & white pigments, and eyes in kohl. The Himba group of Namibia also generously uses red ochre. These people paint their entire bodies in the uniform pigment, as a traditional practice. In India, body painting is an elaborate work of expertise, which requires training and a lot of experience. One of the best examples of this art is the make-up of Kathakali dancers that involves the use of white, red, black, and yellow colors against a base of bottle green color, on face.
The use of 'henna,' a natural plant extract, is very popular among the Indian women across the country and is again, done by trained experts. Henna is used for decorating the hands and feet in beautiful, complex designs. Native Americans use streaks, concentric circles, and other patterns of colors, which include red, white, yellow, blue, and black. The indigenous Yolngu people of Australia use detailed and painstaking technique to embellish their bodies. It is an inspiration for many other art forms and a job that only the experts can do.Painted faces have been a trademark of comedians and mimics, throughout the history of performing arts. Body painting has found as much use in military operations, as in local communities. Facial colors, particularly in nature tones are heavily employed as camouflage by almost all armies in the world. Now days, this art has become a fad, especially among the youth and is treated more as an avant-garde fashion accessory, rather than as a religious belief. Across the US and Europe, body painting is used in theatre, cinema, fashion, carnivals, and body painting festivals. Despite facing criticism and rejection from various corners, this art continued to grow and is still evolving!

Dreams and Healing
With the cost of medical care rising, I’d like to suggest another, ancient form of healing: interpreting your dreams! Once you understand symbolic language, you have an inner source of wisdom that will give you information about your body, your emotions and your direction in life.
While science is just now beginning to understand the place of dreaming for our health, most ancient cultures seemed to understand that illness begins in the soul. And since dreams are the stories the soul tells us each night, perhaps we can consider paying attention to our dreams as a preventative measure for our health.
Until around the fifth century, there were over 200 healing temples spread throughout the Mediterranean region from Palestine to Spain. Dedicated to the Greek god Asklepios or the Egyptian god Serapis, people went to these temples to be cured of their diseases.
Once you entered the sacred precincts of the healing temple, you would participate in a ritual cleansing in a sacred spring, make an offering to the god, go to work out at the gymnasium and perhaps go to the Theater to experience a catharsis that freed up your emotions. Then you would sleep in the temple to incubate a dream in which the god came to you and either healed you or gave you a prescription for healing. The temple priests recorded your dreams and helped you understand what you had to do to heal.
The diagnostic value of dreams was acknowledged by the great physicians of the past: Hippocrates (famous for the Hippocratic oath of modern doctors) and Galen, the physician of the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius. These doctors believed that dreams could foreshadow physical symptoms and reveal their progress. Hippocrates noted that the Earth can symbolize the body, a river the blood, a tree for a man’s and a spring for a woman’s reproductive system.
Freud, who did not recognize the precognitive aspect of dreams, may have missed a dream warning that could have saved his life. Freud had a dream that contained a preview of the precise symptoms of oral cancer that eventually killed him twenty-eight years later. Instead of seeing the dream as an aspect of himself, he projected it onto the female client in his dream.
Louise Hay, in her classic book You Can Heal Your Life, shows how our physical ailments begin in our emotional body. From rashes which symbolize irritations that bother us, to knee injuries which reflect an inflexible attitude of pride and ego, to breast cancer which often develops because we do not know how to nurture ourselves but would rather nurture and worry about others, we develop into what and who we are. If we develop an illness, it is a call to us to pay more attention and to find out where we are cut off from a deep connection to ourselves.
If we only read illness as a physiological dysfunction, we lose the soul reason why we developed this specific illness in the first place. Once we learn to give meaning to our lives, even to our illness, we begin the real process of healing and becoming whole.
And dreams are important diagnostic tools that each of us, not only doctors, can use.
