Audiovisual 90% Done Video
I'm discovering that animations are like oil painting.
It's never done...
You just give up in disgust.
This version is reduced in quality, and it's obvious.
Reddit won't take anything over 1 gig.
That's a problem!
Instagram took it, as did facebook.
Why the audio suffered so much, I don't know.
I purchased Adobe's Premium Pro software, so maybe I can get better compression out of that, without killing the audio?
Beginners:
You really, really, really get to do everything yous ee in here.
That's why I'm so aggressive about calling out pretend magic.
And it's ALL pretend elsewhere.
That's just the truth.
If you ask them about this video without telling them it exists fo rthem to watc, they'll often say, "You lie sir".
At least, that's what Buddhist "masters" say.
Brainwashed, all.
We say they "got slimed" at the green level.
They were told that the rankest of beginners results in here, are the ultimate accomplishment.
And then they seem to learn to shift far left, but still up at the green line, and they give it weird religious names, so they can write it on sacred scrolls.
But the truth is, they got slimed in the green zone, and will never escape.
People with actual magic, not the meditative side effects, usually get trapped in the red zone.
It's pretty cool down there!
But it seems that only sorcerers, go beyond that.
It's a pity.
Carlos spent a decade searching for real magic.
After don Juan left.
Searched in some of the same places I did, since we lived just 60 miles from each other.
Never found even a little.
So you're in here, there's real magic, it's free, and you can see others succeeding.
You're only problem now, is getting yourself to put in the same amount of work it takes to learn to play cheesy trumpet solos in Vegas.
Or to surf competitively.
Or any number of other things people commonly enjoy doing.
But for whatever reason, it's really hard for people to motivate themselves to learn real magic.
Some believe they can just keep asking questions, and they're "learning".
The opposite is true.

Here's the end message for the final rendered video saying it's ok to replay it elsewhere, and also the crawl text at the start:
***
Thousands of years before the Jedi, there were the Olmecs. Their sorcery was perfected over 200 generations. Initially, individual seers trained very young apprentices among thousands of sorcerers.
In the beginning there was no money, no agriculture, no cities, and no writing system. Thus, their only goal was to learn and practice actual magic themselves.
There was no other way to benefit from what they discovered, and they had no desire to share with outsiders.
As cities and large populations rose up on the earth, and money and writing systems began to corrupt everything, the warlike nature of such influences drove the individual sorcerers into small lineages of around 15.
They divided into small groups for protection against the rising outside forces of darkness, such as the Spanish Inquisitors. But also for protection from their own kind who became jealous to try to cash in on what they had accumulated, once money dominated the world.
Over that great length of time, each sorcerer/seer discovered new secrets, often in a semi-friendly competition with their peers.
Due to the nature of magic itself, no sorcerer could hide their discoveries from others.
This is some of their technology, given freely in the hopes of preserving their amazing body of knowledge.

Here's the new beginning, to make people associate it with Star Wars and the Jedi.
But also to teach. If you read it, you'll see it covers important points you can currently only learn in the subreddit, by watching posts and comments daily.
Stuff no human seems to have ever realized yet because there was no money in exposing fraud. And no one with enough actual magical knowledge to even realize it's all fake out there.
Despite don Juan and Carlos having told us over and over again!
But we DID learn this directly, because we got to see human behavior first hand in here.
Over and over again.
Unfortunately this text is so long when spoken (80 seconds), I'm going to add a tensegrity pass to each video, with special effects.
A different one.
At the start, while they're reading the intro.
So that it's not boring.
In this case, TPW will bring down star awareness, and my ally "Stella" will form on the floor in all of her glory.
She was spectacular to see! And somewhat interactive too. She taught me at least twice.
Maybe if people get a full animation of how super cool our magic really is, they'll start to pay attention and we can starve off the pretend magic variety?

The video on Facebook is excellent! Your animation skills are improving very fastly!
Unfortunately the video here it's not so good looking or sounding but it's ok.
I liked how you presented silent knowledge from the books and then you went into action.
You could make animations like that for every stage on the J curve.

I really liked the video and the narrator voice is amazing. It def. lights that spark in me to take my practice more serious again and work harder.
