masturbatory experience where you're going out to get like get off
on a taste of it, but then during the week you're not abiding in it.
Do you agree with that assessment?
PRASAD PAUL DUFFY: Yes, you can either do the work, or do the
workshops.
TRIP: Exactly.
WIZARD: Papaji said give up the search.
PRASAD PAUL DUFFY: Exactly.
TRIP: All right, we're on the same page. Okay, moving on,
consciousness raising, okay. Big box films versus independent low
budget films, just for the heck of it. Take Avatar for example, that
film mixed themes of violent corporate aggression rising to the
level of what I'd call fascism, with the story of our oneness.
Everybody loved it, because you could have been like an ignorant
farm boy out there watching people get their heads busted with
bionic machines, all the way up to being someone who's very
gentle and meek, and enjoyed that film. Did that film raise our
collective awareness? I mean, what's your view, given…
PRASAD PAUL DUFFY: Yes, I believe it did, I believe it did. Just
saw it again on re-release with my nephew when I was visiting
him, and it was just so beautiful, he's eight years, and was so
happy to see it with him. I believe it did, it definitely did exactly
what you just described, and it took us out of the world of war in
corporate America, and world domination, and to this sense of
oneness and peace of the indigenous people and their spirit. It
was such a huge hit that it cannot help but affect consciousness,
the pop consciousness, and the mass consciousness. And even if it
was negative and it was a huge hit like that, it would affect it. So
why not make positive media that's going to inspire our youth, and
inspire people, to step into the power and be who they are here to
be. And that's the media that I'm involved with making.
