The Oscars Bring to Light

Hollywood honors performances that reflect what the Mayan shamans said would be happening in this time period leading to 2012. What has been hidden in the darkness will be brought into the light. Individually and collectively, core issues are coming into consciousness to be cleared. The issues brought to light included family dysfunction and sexual abuse, alcohol and fading fame, the turn around of the plight of a homeless black teenage boy, the addiction to the emotional rush of war, and the excessive slaughter and suffering of mammals used for food.

The Oscar for Best Supporting Actress went to the comedienne Monique for her dramatic portrayal of a horribly abusive mother in the film Precious, a story about sexual abuse. Jeff Bridges won Best Actor for his portrayal of a washed up, boozing Country Music star. Sandra Bullock won Best Actress for her performance of a mother of two who takes in a homeless black teenager and helps him become a star football player.

The Hurt Locker, the winner for Best Picture, made us aware of the dark, addictive quality of war. It also showed the human side of war: the participants in war are someone’s son or daughter, wife or husband, father or mother. And, for the first time in 82 years of Oscar history, a woman won for Best Director: Kathryn Bigelow won for The Hurt Locker. This is one of many ripples on the surface of a larger and deeper process predicted by Carl Jung many years ago. Jung foresaw that after 2000 years of a patriarchal period in human history, the long repressed feminine principle would emerge into the light of collective consciousness.

The Cove won Best Documentary Feature in its depiction of the trapping and slaughter of porpoise for specialty food in Japan. One of its contenders, Food, Inc., revealed the suffering inflicted on female animals (cows and chickens) by the forced production of offspring and excessive quantities of food (milk, eggs, beef, and poultry).

• Today, reflect on what stresseful issues are coming up for you to recognize and release
