Magnus Manifesto

Grand Providentia United

In order to manifest any meaningful positive change in our lives, we must first be willing to commit our deepest intentions to the change we seek. A conscious decision in the present moment is all that is required to commit our intentions, thus permitting positive and progressive change to manifest. God and the Universe will always cooperate if our intentions are unburdened by fear and self-doubt. Remember though, that God and the Universe will also cooperate if our intentions are set forth with deep seated negativity attached to them. If we are putting out fear-based intentions, we are likely to be rewarded with fearful outcomes, or at the very least, outcomes that are dissatisfactory to our most positive expectations. In my experience, it is best not to become attached to any particular outcome, anyway. Better to remain flexible and trust in universal consciousness to manifest the most positive and appropriate outcome to our specific intentions. When we relax and enjoy the journey, with enthusiasm and joyful expectation, our intentions will always be rewarded with successful change and powerful personal growth.

My immediate intentions have been set since the beginning of this year. I intend to achieve a master’s degree in film, at the Savannah College of Art and Design in GA. While I am working toward the manifestation of a film degree, I will also be setting intentions to further the Grand Providentia project. With the unlimited potential of the Universe and the extraordinary communicative “reach” of film production forwarding this project, I am absolutely certain that the Grand Providentia will become manifest!

For admission to Savannah College of Art & Design I am required to submit a portfolio (film). The film will be focused on the mill and town of Hope, Rhode Island, where I spent my early childhood. In mid-May, I’ll be returning to Hope to start the film making process. I hope to meet up with some of my old friends while I’m visiting!

I also hope to be making regular weekly posts to this blog! Please subscribe if you are so inclined, it would be reassuring to know that there are friends who care about my progress toward this lifelong dream. By all means, feel free to comment, whether it is in agreement or disagreement with the views that I’m expressing here. And, may each and every one of you manifest your grandest dreams!

Living Creatively, as the Spirit Flies

Grand Providentia United

One of the basic tenants of mathematic geometry states that the shortest distance between two points in space is always a straight line. The term as the crow flies, loosely applies this mathematic formula to the distances we travel between locations on the face of the earth. Of course, as soon as we don our rational ‘thinking caps’, we realize that a crow cannot actually fly in a straight line for any substantial distance without crashing into a stationary object or plowing a furrow in the curved surface of our sphere-shaped planet, but we make allowances, knowing that the proverbial crow will most likely take the straightest route it can find. In the process of focusing my intentions on a major change of direction in my creative journey (toward Film Making), I’ve decided to loosely interpret the term as the crow flies to describe the future trail that I intend to blaze. In mind, body and spirit, I will attempt to fly in a straight line toward my intended creative goal. I’ve learned from a lifetime of experience that there will be setbacks, hardships and hurdles to overcome along the way, but I’ve also learned that we human beings have all the physical stamina, mental will, and strength of spirit we require to rise above every earthly obstacle in an effort to transform our lifelong hopes and dreams into our future reality.
