10:51:44 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- earthy and real, in the "here" ..a human
10:52:12 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- it tosses the book aside at first.. but sparks come of it
10:52:27 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- there is a vision of a great aztec looking goddess
10:52:41 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- who is blowing on a jar fullof bees....
10:53:00 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- infusing the inspiration from beyond
10:53:13 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- a candle is lit in the here
10:53:47 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- fruit is cut open.. boiled in flasks.. like an alchemist's lab
10:54:05 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- the goddess in the great colorful animated beyond..

10:54:34 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- radiant hair... I meant
10:55:02 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- in the now, the figure tries to add hair.. gazing in the mirror
10:55:23 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- frustraed at the earthly appearance
10:55:49 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- then the goddess folds up into a lotus flower
10:56:07 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- and becomes the sun.. then gives off dandelion seeds into the wind
10:56:38 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- the figure before the mirror
10:56:56 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- exchanges body parts and tries different things
10:57:04 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- the mirror flips
10:57:14 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- and the goddess is seen, reflected briefly
10:57:34 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- one key body part remains on the table
10:57:51 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- a pair of eyes.. the figure is indeed "blind"
10:58:00 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- and the eyes want to be 'put on'
10:58:42 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- the figure blindly reaches over to the table.. hovering near the eyes.. but does not find yet
10:59:10 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- but then.. does find them!
10:59:26 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- and puts on the eyes in astonishment
10:59:36 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- and sees he and she
10:59:39 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- of the band
10:59:53 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- and they laugh back, knowingly
10:59:57 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- happy
11:00:26 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- there is rising joy in the animated land of the goddess
11:00:40 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- and the figures eyes keeps opening, wider and wider...
11:01:19 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- a little bug from the animated world of the goddess.. pushes the book towards the figure.. for it to notice again...
11:01:32 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- then picks it up.. like hmmmmmm
11:01:37 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- flips though it
11:02:02 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- and colorful animated sparks and butterflies fly out of it
11:02:29 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- then in the colorful animated land...
11:02:36 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- a moon and sun are seen
11:02:58 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- they merge together as one
11:03:10 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- in a blinding flash of bright light
11:03:27 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- and out from the light come the goddess again
11:03:30 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- rising upwards
11:03:54 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- coming closer.. with the light behind
11:04:07 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- then she reveals her face to be a mask
11:04:41 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- and behind is a face that can seem to be part goddess, part the figure
11:05:28 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- she shields her eyes for a moment as 2 balls of light like the
sun and moon split aparts
11:05:44 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- but remain behind the goddess
11:06:03 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- then showing their sun and mooness again
11:06:13 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- and it pans forward
11:06:30 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- revealing the sun and the moon, now behind the goddess
11:06:45 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- and the goddess,now behind the figure
11:06:54 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- with her back to the mirror now
11:07:19 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- looking about as if aware of it all
11:07:36 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- and the mirror frame then dissolves away
11:07:53 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- pulling further out
11:08:04 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- to reveal it has all been taking place on a stage
11:08:19 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- with lit candles
11:08:38 PM RedHector SheIsHer -- and he and she of the band are there watching it all play out

Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Me And My Imagination

"I want to get inside, To where the...Magic stays and myth remains"


A bright red neon heart within a heart within a heart frames the outer edges of this seemingly superficial flirty disco-pop music video. Yet, Sophie invites us to play a game in another realm that she calls home. On the gritty yet transparently false-illusion set of the streets of London that act as a stand in for the conscious world, she clicks her heels three times together to suggest that unlike Dorothy Gale, for her there is no place like Oz - perhaps the imaginal realm, accessed through the spinning heart chakra.




In the midst of streets and storefronts, she dances as light as air. She is trying to explain a state of being..of playfully not knowing..having just the right balance of mystery. In front of a darkened music storefront with a neon treble clef symbol, for the first of many times she is transported to another realm in a timeless moment - where "Magic stays and myth remains." A state of being that is a wondrous spell that she does not want to be released from. Neon stars of multiple numbered points dot the darkened spaceless space as she dances uninhibited, surrounded and supported by beings of light.



The lights converge and spin into a flower shape, as she puts on a crown chakra of light to emerge back into the worldly realm. She is in the refuge of nature among city streets, a park...admiring the beauty of a flower and dancing in the gentle balance between both realms. Mere moments beyond, she cannot help but transcend into the other realm once again. This time along with beings of lights, butterflies surround her.



She consciously decides to enter this realm one more time. On the illusion of the city streets, it starts to rain. Yet she keeps her step lightly, dancing through the drops to take shelter from the rain in a doorway. Is it yet another doorway to another realm? A doorway with a cross and a number 5, the number of humanity.



Once again she finds herself fading into the realm of light, where the rain there is brilliant blue lights streaming down from above. She spins her umbrella from her center heart position to show she is now in full motion. The beings of light and butterflies and stars are now joined by a bright neon rainbow. She now stays inside this realm of the heart within a heart within a heart.


"Me & My Imagination"

We're gonna play a game
Just you and me
You never should be won
So easily
Your eyes are on the prize
I'm worth the wait
Don't need to know the end
'Cause darling

Magic stays when myth remains
I'm under your spell
Don't release me
Never give the game away
Try to keep me entertained
Baby
Don't make
It too easy
Leave something
For me and my imagination

We're a possibility
When you make it hard for me
Baby
I'm not in a hurry

Leave something
For me and my imagination

I don't need to know
Your every trick
So keep me guessing just
A little bit
'Cause hidden in your eyes
There's mystery
I want to get inside
To where the

Magic stays and myth remains
I'm under your spell
Don't release me

[Chorus]

Never give the game away
Try to keep me entertained
Baby
Don't make it too easy
Leave something...

[Chorus]

Never give the game away
Try to keep me entertained
Don't make it too easy, baby

For me and my imagination

We're a possibility
You make it hard for me
I'm not in a hurry baby
For me and my imagination

A famous child-man who created his own world to live inside of, also revealed much about the same state of being in a world of pure imagination. "If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it." His chocolate factory was accessed though an impossibly small chamber, and the key was music.



"Pure Imagination"

Willy Wonka:
[Spoken]
Hold your breath
Make a wish
Count to three

[Sung]
Come with me
And you'll be
In a world of
Pure imagination
Take a look
And you'll see
Into your imagination

We'll begin
With a spin
Traveling in
The world of my creation
What we'll see
Will defy
Explanation

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanta change the world?
There's nothing
To it

There is no
Life I know
To compare with
Pure imagination
Living there
You'll be free
If you truly wish to be

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanta change the world?
There's nothing
To it

There is no
Life I know
To compare with
Pure imagination
Living there
You'll be free
If you truly
Wish to be



Even Dorothy Gale herself found herself in another realm, that was accessed through a spinning vortex. She had to overcome much fear in the process. The white light goes through a prism to become a rainbow. How could Pink Floyd not have made such a synchronous connection to this movie? As this transformational scene of a depression era representation of a near death experience shows, it coincides with the infamous classic music most associated with ecstasy and death, and ultimately transcendental consciousness. Maybe Dorothy should learn how to stay in OZ.
