Why do so many great actors and actresses have such difficulty dealing with their emotional well-being? Almost daily we hear about entertainers who have a history of drug abuse or who take heavy doses of anti-depressants. Many of these conditions are diagnosed by medical professionals as nervous disorders or low self-esteem, however the standard medical treatments have not yet resolved this widespread social phenomenon. There are many metaphysical details about acting that remain unknown to most of the acting population. As long as these details are ignored, many actors and actresses will continue to fall in the trap of drug abuse and heavy prescription medicine.
Acting in itself is a form of channeling. This form of channeling is not the same, for example, as psychics who communicate with spirits or other non-physical beings. This form of channeling is focused on emotional responses associated with certain events. Actors either retrieve their emotional response from their personal past experience, or they retrieve these emotions from the greater Universe’s Akashic records. When the director says “Action”, some actors almost go into a trance and actually become the characters they portray.
Think of the Akashic records as the Universe’s Hall of Records, where every thought, word, feeling, and event of the past, present, and future is recorded. It is all there. With the right level of consciousness, this information can be accessed. In the Akashic records, events and emotions are generally recorded together. It is very similar to data stored on a computer hard drive. When an actor channels the emotions they need for their role, in many instances, they also have to download/channel from the Akashic records some of the story line/events that are attached to the emotions. When someone practices accessing multiple levels of emotions, their energy body reaches out into the Universal source of emotions and if these actors and actresses are not aware of energy practices, it becomes harder to disconnect from the Universe’s source and restructure their own energy body.
For instance, if an actress is acting a rape scene, she channels the fear and anger from a rape victim’s memory in the Akashic records. This memory and emotion becomes the actresses own, to a degree. In her real life, she may begin to have recurrent feelings of being raped, although it has never happened to her before. In the same scene, as a male actor portrays the rapist’s attitudes of violence against women, that actor may go home and later wonder why he has begun to feel remnants of that desire for violence. In his confusion, the actor may become filled with shame and decide that even discussing these feelings is not an acceptable social behavior. Consequently, the actor may decide to keep it to himself and suppresses his feelings. As more and more of these unreleased emotions/events actors have channeled during performances accumulates, the chosen remedy often becomes numbing themselves with medication or drugs. Lasting peace will only come from first becoming aware of these energies, and then neutralizing/discharging the emotional residues.
