Notes 2025 Chapter Veronique
see Entheogenic Realm notes about Ralph Bakshi's Wizards, here Joe applies his new knowing, while keeping in his hip pocket the old fuckery. It's not that he isn't transformed, it's just that he retains the full palette of action. Is trauma the cure for trauma, by presenting Veronique with her fears, she is able to pass through them. He is the Outward Bound instructor on the ropes course, he facilitates her longing and invites her to bust the blockage. The interesting flip here is that she has to let go her attachment to godhood, to omniscience and choose to have the full adventure of duality, of forgettery - which is the choice we all made and make. Veronique is all of us choosing to come to the theme park. Will she be a special child, gifted, uniquely empowered? Certainly - as we all are.
the hero's journey (on a dirt bike) [plant the seed, poof! big bike. ride the ride with sparkles]
Here's the Wizards moment, when the transformed more lovable loving Joe faces the horror of his own arrogance, a force more stifling than the Clique, the abandoned and abused child, the latch key left alone little girl. How to break the cycle of molestation, of taking advantage of innocence and trust? It's also the moment when the white wizard pulls out the luger, fear as transformation, Veronique must face her reluctance to be a real child. Saying a lot here, contemporary issues. Jeff Epstein, Klaus Schwab, technocrats.
