Beth of Fresh Air - Episode 34: Stage It! [with Micah Ellars]

"All the world's a stage."This familiar quote has many layers of meaning, and this week Micah Ellars returns to Beth of Fresh Air to unpack them with me.The stage has become a powerful symbol in our culture. It's a place where our attention is drawn outward, toward the performers and away from ourselves.In freedom movements, the word actor has even become synonymous with liar, as many people recognize the role performance plays in politics, media, and public life.But what if the stage isn't only "out there"?What if the stage also exists within our daily lives and communities?And what if the patterns that allow staged deception to flourish are already embedded in our own psychology?What We'll ExploreThe symbolism of the stageWhy performance has such power over attentionActing, identity, and illusionHow staged deception worksThe role archetypes play in our perceptionHow we can reclaim the stage for conscious creationWith Special Guest: Micah EllarsMicah brings his unique perspective as a filmmaker, acting coach, and teacher of Gurdjieff's work to explore the deeper meaning of the stage.Together we'll look at how acting can serve illusion, and how it can also become a powerful tool for self-remembering, conscious expression, and transformation.Join us for a fresh look at the stage, the roles we play, and what becomes possible when we begin to see the performance clearly.>> Message me<< to get the private series of videos Micah and I didIncluding the remarkable stories of how he came to this work; recognition of "false light", cults and gurus; how your relationship with yourself changes when remember yourself; and our latest, "Hopium vs Self Remembering". See all of the details for the 8-workshop series coming up, Self Remembering With ArchetypesFind out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purposehttps://www.bethmartens.com/deprogramming101https://www.bethmartens.com/find-your-sacred-purpose-online-courseDiscover other deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-application***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredIf we
