Wake UP! We are bombarded with trance on a daily basis. This course is about becoming accutely aware of how trance is used in news, politics, advertising and tv programming to perpetutate misconceptions, perpetrate fraud, and indoctrinate viewers into the dominant culture. We have to get outside the trance to see it, and we have to see it to resist it. There will be weekly assignments that will require watching TV and making notes to discuss in class. We'll also talk about the stages of waking and how it may affect the individual psychologically, as well as how to deal with waking in a sleep walking culture.

761 - Alchemical Trance Light Shows
Cost: $225.00
An alchemical light show was used by ancient alchemists in the middle ages. C.J.Jung described such a light show in his work on Alchemy. Taking a cue from Jung, Dennis Wier developed the alchemical light show in the 1960's. For examples, see www.serene.org For two years, every week, he performed these lightshows for private groups. He also did the light show with Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention in Los Angeles. Most recently he did a performance at the Dinamo in Z?rich, Switzerland. His light show was also photographed by Look magazine and was on CBS News with Walter Cronkite. These light shows produce a trance which can have healing effects when experienced multiple times. Private and public shows can be booked for any event from raves, to clinical settings, from photographic sessions to business workshops. Training, equipment and chemical list and usage, and all techniques of operation are fully covered in this course.
