An initiate is an individual whose sense of perception deals with contacts and subjective impacts. That interest, cultivated in the inner world of meanings, leads him to understand the broad sense of truth and to the revelation of the meaning and purpose of God in all that He has accomplished time after time. Although biologists are the true initiates in mysteries by penetrating the life aspect, technologists have tried to begin by penetrating the consciousness aspect. Human ingenuity has brought us to a point where it is difficult to establish the boundaries between creation and creativity, between nanotechnology, biotechnology, computer technology and areas of cognitive science, so a humanist engineer could approach the initiate ideal, in fact the concept of artificial intelligence includes previously disparate fields such as operations research, cybernetics, logic and computer science, which makes those who integrate such disciplines into a transhumanist.
Transhumanists support the use of new sciences and technologies to improve mental and physical abilities in order to correct what they consider undesirable and unnecessary aspects of the human condition, such as suffering, illness, aging or even ultimately the mortality. Critics of transhumanism often see transhumanist goals as threats to human values, however today there is talk in education of skills in learning and performance levels, expressions of entrepreneurship and engineering that lead to quality assurance, understood as the synthesis of human knowledge, creativity and consciousness.
FOREWORD: The moviesOne of the criticisms of the Oscar awards is that the films that win in the category of best film, with some exceptions, are dramas, romances, musicals, epic films or movies that deal with social or political issues. That is the purpose of this article: to show how some films contribute to identify the phases of the development of personality, consciousness and humanity, some of them based on initiatory books.
But next to the cinematography, cyberculture emerges as the use made of the computer for communication, entertainment and electronic marketing. Beliefs and myths about cyberculture can be identified in science fiction series and films where the human being is conceived as a mechanism composed of bits rather than an organism composed of atoms: a digital Being
Contemporary science fiction often contains compliments to human life perfected through technology, established in utopian or techno-utopian societies. The usefulness of these initiatory films is that they bring to the screen and make possible what for spiritual people is a reality, while for materialists it is pure fiction.
THE SEMIOLOGY
While cyberculture focuses on the use of information technologies, semi-culture focuses on communication, as an act of translation structured by culture. Science fiction is presented as well as the merger between cyberculture and semi-culture.
We see how cyberculture and semi-culture interact when human knowledge and creativity are associated with the development of science - technology and the use of metaphors of possible worlds. Just as the legend of The Golem was born thanks to alchemy, The Frankestein by Mary Shelley was a product of the science of the time of 1817: electricity, in The Avatar we find two sources, one virtual reality made possible by electronics and computer science; the other in the Hindu concept of reincarnation.
Level 13
It's a 1999 movie. The story is about a virtual reality machine invented in 1990 that allows its designers to visit Los Angeles (California) as it was in 1937 Upon entering the system, a person of this alternative reality is replaced by the person of the real world, by transfer of consciousness.
Starring: Hannon Fuller / Grierson, the creator of the technology system.
Antagonist: Douglas Hall / John Ferguson / David, who lives in the duality of being real or virtual.
The Avatar
As a classic account of fantastic adventures, Avatar works on several levels, from the ecological fable and social networks to the myth of the Hero, religious references and others. Avatar is about imperialism and biodiversity, but its deepest meaning is spirituality. What causes fading in a human being? When does it connect disconnect ?
In the Flashforward television series they put it this way: Awareness will depend on:
a proton plasma conducted in a field of waves in which dark matter is found tachyone, the energy released, if it is greater than Petaelectrovolt could be the cause of a fading.
Protagonist: A man with a disability.
Antagonist: A military.
Artificial intelligence.
2001 American film directed by Steven Spielberg. The film is based on the science fiction story Superjuguetes last the summer of Brian Aldiss, and incorporates elements of the Italian work The Adventures of Pinocchio .
Protagonist: A mechanical child.
Antagonist: An organic child.
Beyond the dreams.
It is a film directed by Vincent War in 1998 and with a script based on the novel by Richard Matheson.
The movie recreates the concepts of The Divine Comedy such as heaven, hell and purgatory.
In the novel there are many more references to theosophy, the new era and paranormal beliefs. Author Richard Matheson states, in an introductory note, that only the characters are fictional, and that everything else is based on research. Elements of the story that do not appear in the film include astral projection, telepathy, a session of spiritualism, and the term "Summerland": a name given to the particular sky proper to theosophy, and to Heaven, in general, from other religions, such as Wicca.
Thanks to the special effects of cinema we can experience what happens in dreams. The double life we lead while we sleep is full of incredible, irrational, fantastic, wonderful or tragic adventures, of which we are simultaneously privileged actors and spectators. The soul itself is the movie theater and the one that decides the repertoire as well. We can't run from our own soul, we can't bite our tails, or maybe sometimes we bite our tails and that's why we scream in terror and terror.
THE MYTHOLOGY
Mythologies express a vision of man and the world; they mean an organization of the Cosmos and of the Society.
Having lost all physical and real contact with the marvelous and ceasing to be able to feel those emotions that made them rise to the rank of the gods, to live the strong times of the sacred, of the exceptional and primordial event as the ancestors did, Modern men and women have necessarily invented other supernatural beliefs. The belief in extraterrestrial visitors appeared in the minds of modern men and has been increasing in proportion to their rejection of ancestral myths and ties, which we could describe as intimate, that our ancestors maintained with the great forces of nature.
The Sorcerer's Apprentice
In this 2010 film, based on the symphonic poem by Paul Dukas of the same name and in the ballad of 1797 by Goethe, we can appreciate how the learning of magic is related to the management of electricity.
The aspirants for a Master's degree can learn a lot from this film, among other topics, the differences between magic and sorcery, between good and evil; the relations between electricity and magnetism, between the apprentice and his Master, between thought and energy.
Black magic deals with matter, white magic deals with Spirit. The sorcerer was subjected to very strong initiation rituals, which can be deadly, so being victorious was already a magical experience. The black magician works with the energies of polarity (the red and blue snakes), the white magician with the energy of the unit (the central staff). Electricity is the alter ego of magnetism.
Morgana is imprisoned in a matriosque (nesting doll), just as the spirit is included in seven bodies, so that, in successive phases, she can achieve "the awakening". The apprentice must free himself from the mental forms constructed daily during his mental life. It will be evident that before becoming a conscious Magic Teacher, the student must possess the following qualities: physical purity, vital freedom, emotional stability, mental balance.
Pinocchio
Pinocchio is an animated children's film from 1993 based on the classic fairy tale, Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi.
The story of Pinocchio begins when a disobedient magic bubble escapes from the house of the Blue Fairy and enters the fireplace of the toy shop of the kind Gepetto. The bubble gives life to a small log and it escapes from the fire. Now that nobody has money to buy their toys, Gepetto uses that same trunk to make a toy for himself: a nice puppet that comes alive once finished.
Protagonist: A magic bubble that bears the consciousness of the divine.
Antagonist: A stickman that carries the substance of the human.
The odyssey.
The Odyssey is a family story just like the Ramayana. The first four songs are known as the Telemaquia, as it develops adventures, conflicts, struggles and sufferings in the adolescent pilgrimage. They narrate the itinerary of Telemachus, whose object-value is the search for the father and as a modal object the search for an identity: a knowledge about being.
The Lightning Thief.
It is the first installment of the Percy Jackson series and the gods of Olympus, which tells the adventures of a current twelve-year-old boy, Percy Jackson, when he discovers he is a demigod; the son of a mortal, Sally Jackson, and the Greek god, Poseidon. Percy and his friends conduct a search to prevent an apocalyptic war between the Greek gods Zeus, Poseidon and Hades.
The book on which the film is based consists of five series:
- The Lightning Thief.
- The sea of monsters.
- The curse of the Titan.
- The battle of the maze.
- The last God of Olympus.
The ancient tragedy was not just a show, as we understand it today, rather it was a collective rite of the polis . It took place during a sacred period in a consecrated space: in the center of the theater was the altar of God. The theater assumes the role of a sounding board for ideas, problems and the political and cultural life of democratic Athens: the tragedy is about a mythical past, but the myth is he immediately becomes a metaphor for deep problems in Athenian society. The set of three tragedies was called trilogies.
The ring of the nibelungs.
It is a fantasy movie and mini-series of 2004, based on the history of mythological mythology called Saga Volsunga and the epic poem Song of the Nibelungs . In said Song the story of Sigfrido, a dragon hunter of the court of the burgundios is narrated. The movie consists of three parts.
Part one: In which Eric manufactures his own metal sword from a meteorite and meets the Queen of Iceland Brunilda.
Part two. After killing the Dragon with his sword, Eric takes the treasure of the Nibelungs, who warn him that a curse will fall on him, but he does not listen and takes the ring and promises to return for the rest.
Part three: After a fight with the Saxons, Eric remembers his identity as Prince Sigifredo and begins to forget Brunilda. Sigifredo marries Krimilda.
Epilogue: Brunilda commits suicide with his sword next to the body of Sigifredo.
As a musical tetralogy The Nibelungen ring is a cycle of four pera picas, composed by Richard Wagner freely based on figures and elements of Germanic mythology, particularly Icelandic Sagas. These operas are The gold of the Rhine. The Valkyrie, Siegfried and The Twilight of the Gods
A ring of power would be the origin of the Trilogy of the Lord of the Rings, as it represents the power of the dark Lord Sauron, a maia who became the lieutenant of the first dark Lord, Morgoth, during the Ancient Days. The Maiar (who would be the same Nibelungs) are spiritual beings, created by Ivatar from their thinking.
The Lord of the Rings
The Lord of the Rings comprises three action movies, fantasy and epic. The trilogy is based on the book entitled The Lord of the Rings, by British writer JRR Tolkien and generally follows its main plot despite some deviations.
In the community of the ring (2001). Set in the fictional world of Middle-earth, the three films continue as the young hobbit Frodo Bolsón and his companions embark on an adventure to destroy the Unique Ring and thus secure the destruction of the Dark Lord, Sauron.

Matrix
Tell at least three stories:
- The life of an ordinary human being, Thomas Anderson, who works in the Metacortex computer industry.
- The life of a special being, Neo, who acquires personal mastery thanks to martial arts training.
- The life of Superman that characterizes the potential of every human being.
Each one has its message, but they carry only one:
- Matrix His message: Know yourself.
- Ornate Matrix: Your message: Meet the YO.
- Matrix revolution: Your message: Meet the ONE.
The first installment is about Active Intelligence.
Trinity represents the trinity, romantic love, who makes the revelation to the human being: “I know what you came for, you are looking for. It is the question that guides us, it is the question that brought us, do you know the question?
Neo represents the contemplative life, the birth in the light, in the energy, in information. From which he sees the reality of things because he had never used his eyes before, so he starts wearing dark glasses. Get to see the code (body of light) of people. "At the end of the road, at the gate of light, I see Trinity, she begins to fall."
Morpheus represents the abstract mind, philosophy and religion, dreams as a means to acquire and learn higher knowledge. He is the one who makes the revelations to Neo, and helps him in his birth. “Feel, smell, taste and see are simple electrical signals that your brain interprets. Your appearance is the residual image, a mental projection of your digital being. ” “Set aside everything; fear, doubt, disbelief free your mind!
Smith represents the instinctive personality, the cerebral, makes revelations to Morpheus and Neo.
The second installment is about conscience.
The counselor represents the enlightening conscience, who makes the following comments to Neo: “Almost no one comes to the engineering level, unless there is a problem. That's the way it is with people, they don't care how they work as long as they work. There is so much in this world that I can't understand how it works, but I understand the reasons why they work. ”
Saurus represents the body of light, leads Neo through connections, external programs. “Whose codes are hidden in files that are saved. I know their position through these doors. I protect the file they are looking for the most ”.
The Pythoness (the oracle) represents chance, is the one who makes the greatest revelations.
“You are not here to choose. You already did. You are here to understand why you did it. We are all here to do what we should do. I am interested in the future. ”We can never see the things we do not understand. In order to have the vision, you have to understand first. ”
Maravinci represents the marvelous, what surprises us by finding no natural explanation. Save all keys, master all languages. In his possession is the locksmith, who makes the keys to break those keys. “Causality is the only law. Choosing is just an illusion created between those with power and those without power. The only thing that matters is the feeling itself and this is the nature of the universe. We fight against it, we fight to deny it, but desire is the basis of our existence. Under our appearances the truth is that we are completely out of control. ”
Maravinci is the opposite of Morpheus, just as desire is to dream. Morpheus says: I do not see chance. I see three objectives, three captains, three ships. I don't see coincidences, I see providence, I see a purpose. I think it is our faith that makes us here, it is our destiny. ”
Persephone represents the psyche, it is who guides them to where the locksmith is, demanding for this the experience of ecstasy with a kiss given to Neo.
The Architect represents control: “You have many questions, but the process has altered your consciousness, you have remained mistakenly human. I designed a program to investigate the human psyche, because the oracle had 99% of the solution and allowed the election only if it is aware of it under a level of consciousness. ”
The Railroad represents the infinity of information channels of our mind and the freedom-madness relationship.
Canda, represents the memory, is the administrator of the recycling plant of operations of Maravinci. His wife Kamala is an interactive programmer.
They make the revelation about karma and equate it with love "simply a word and the matrix is what the word implies" Cause-effect, action-reaction. Attraction-repulsion.
The third installment is about the will .
“The function of the chosen one is to return to the source, allowing the code that it carries for the main program to be momentarily assimilated. He will make a selection of 23 individuals, 16 women and 7 men, to rebuild Zión. ”
The chosen one will get to know the first great aspect of energy. Its first aspect is the dynamic use of the will. Fire is the origin and end of all material things because without fire there is no heat, without heat there is no life: That is the equation.
THE PSYCHOLOGYWe have seen how the sign is the mark of an intention to communicate a meaning, but that intention may be unconscious. Psychoanalysis considers the manifestations of the unconscious as a mode of communication and language. Analytical psychology found in the archetype the origin of unconscious ideas. Esoteric psychology, on the other hand, is based on the hypothesis that there are seven rays that originate consciousness.
If we stick to the definition of psychology as "what the soul says", we will understand that the sire is the frequency of sound that can be emitted by a certain ray, which produces an effect on matter. Each of the seven rays emits its own frequency of sound, light and color, and by doing so it sets in motion those forces that must act in unison with it, thus the whole question of the free will of the human being, of his eternal destiny can be solved. and of his power of self affirmation. The game facilitates that learning on the way to initiation.
The game.
The Game is a 1997 American film, directed by David Fincher. Starring Michael Douglas and Sean Peen in the lead roles. The film resembles Total Recall, in which a virtual entertainment company implants artificial memories.
In the case of The Game, a company offers entertainment based on the personality profile. They explain that what they offer is about voluntarily participating in a game specially designed to have fun; the person who accesses is subjected to a series of routine psychological and physical exams, in order to measure their reactions. From the psychological diagnosis they create a series of situations for the person to face their fears.
EP LOGO: The initiationsInitiations, with their resulting causes, effects and intentions, are only a sequence of processes that lead from one initiation to another. A corresponding sequence can be seen in the development of the consciousness of the human being from childhood to full maturity; Each development is part of a series of revelations, as their vision of life and their ability to gain experience develops.
Through revelation processes, divinity is slowly emerging in human consciousness. The revelation is sevenfold; each of the seven kingdoms of nature reveals an aspect of it, and each of them obtains revelation through seven or fourteen minor phases.
In the ninth random revelation or destiny they direct John to the rainforest of Peru. There, some researchers have just discovered ancestral writings that announce the arrival of a new stage for man that will change his perception of everything that surrounds him and will provide him with a new perception of Looking ahead. These revelations are supposedly a threat and a risk to those who know them, according to the antagonists.
