Of all the things that are being grossly affected by the goddamn pandemic, the biggest cultural shift will be in how we converse. While we are social creatures who love to go out once in a while and “Hang Out” but do you think the world will be the same?

If studies and experts are to be believed, social distancing is here to stay. This really sucks because I love actual human interaction and to…

Avatarism presents: One of the first pieces I wrote about Avatarism from January 2010. Consider it proto-avatarism fresh from a conversation with Daniel “Burning Dan” Gordon Levitt and Jessica “The Teafaerie” Simon. Two of the most amazing friends in the universe.  Thay believed in me, gifted me so many ideas and heavily influenced my work. Enjoy.

Avatar

Harmony with the earth 

Group consciouness

Hightened sense of connection with environment

Gaining a new persona

Clothes costume ornament and cosmetic

Reprogram reactions to fit with new avatar

New skills and experiences train the controller to act as one with new avatar

People give acceptance to this new form and your avatar’s strength increases

Anything is possible and mountains can float

A waking/walking dream

A transformational experience

Dream fulfillment

A childlike experience

A sense of wonder

To amass an army of imagination

The religious corporate government has made us into a target market of simpletons and marginalized mundanes, we take on unique, exceptional, and archetypal avatars to  combat the onslaught of the media that threaghtens our lifeforce. Where they attempt to scare, intimidate, and demonize our people, we invent a new limitless possibility, creative abundance and open a door to the real human nature....Change! 

Change is the only constant

New technology is often painful

Do your own stunts, be the star of your life

A new language of inner direction from your own set of game rules

A new name

Own the name!

Make it risky so you have to live into it 

Use a symbol, tattoo, patch, or other sigil to uphold your avatar’s 

creative lifeforce

A window to another dimention

This is a live rendering of a fictional character, in real time

Like a sophisticated video game

Record yourself inside the avatar, review, and refine the embodiment

Stuardship of the self leads to stuardship of the planet

The world is being stolen every day right out from under us

Question the authority in power, swell to meet the opressor

No death dealing for profit, mother nature as goddess and protector

Create a more glorious future and live into it

The details are the most important elements, a masterpiece is made of a multitude of small choices

Be livin’it

Believe in it.

Forever Endeavor,

iRev. Alexander Polinsky

From the very beginning Avatarism was no ordinary transmission of platitudes and attitudes. It is an unusual, unique and transformative game. It’s a game we are already playing and so without very little effort this could be a worldwide circle of upholding. A circle based on a common desire to deliver ourselves from ordinary existence into an extraordinary one. We use our will and creativity to begin to design ourselves away from the degenerate programming that we copied but did not wholly choose . We use the power of our word to focus our magnetism and carry our message of passion, wonder, constant character creation and radical self love out to the world. We fulfill our secret promise to our hidden self and celebrate our victories. We speak the language of our hearts to the world and we are rewarded for our clarity of vision.

Avatarism invites you to...

Make a break with convention and see yourself…Perfect…whole… complete…and ready for more.

Accept the role of the action hero in a choose your own adventure universe… See yourself as the center of the mandala…the gift that the universe is giving itself.

It’s you!!!!

The first step is to realize that you have the power! (not some invisible, pretend hope of a power) but A real and tangible spiritual energy that has the ability to charge you up, too move you and to transform you. Try this.....

Take a deep slow breath in… Say “yes!” Take another breath… Say (a little louder) “I’m in!” Take a third deeper breath Smile big! and say louder.. YES! YES! YES!

(Keep breathing and smiling) The feeling you have right now is the entry way into a more complex and richly appointed embodiment. You can conjure peace, passion and confidence You can allow your own spiritual energy to embolden you and uplevel you. You have the power to do things you've never done before. All it takes is that first step. What's the first step? Tell us who you are creating yourself to be and we will uphold you! Open your eyes. Be a player. Smile at strangers. Play the game. Friends are everywhere. Onward and upwards! Forever endeavor! Believe in it! Be livin' it

#Avatarism at #Lucidity Festival, Epic interview, and the premiere of The Last Avatar film!!!!

Hello friends and my ever growing Avatarism family!!!

It has been an amazing month for me and Avatarism. So much going on and so many upleveling events to share!!! You really can’t fake a phenomenon and this is just the start....I delivered two #Avatarism workshops this weekend at the #Lucidity Festival, Kindred Quest 2015. The workshops were featured as “Altar Yourself: A guide to Avatarism,” and “Avatarism and Radical Self Love.”  The location was perfect...magickal...amazingly beautiful...in an ancient oak forest in Santa Barbara. Featuring music from The Polish Ambassador on the main stage, Magick For The Masses on the Nomad’s Nook Stage, Wild Light, Pumpkin, and the amazing Hart Sawyer to name a few. Thanks to Megan Stone of the Goddess Grove who booked me for the Temple Dome, you rock Megan!

The workshops:

I'm used to doing stage talks at festivals mostly but it was nice to get into an intimate space to craft and play with participants in a workshop setting. This is more impact-full than just listening to speeches on Avatarism. Speeches are super-fun energetic exchanges and nothing is quite like delivering humor, passion and transformational words to a large crowd, but getting a handful of people to do something creatively significant, make some hard/fun choices and finally have some real communication about the things that matter is unbelievably good for the soul and good for the group. It creates a resonant environment that strengthens overall the ritual of togetherness we are creating. It felt like (and I gathered from the response), that my workshops were well received. I was definitely happy and inspired by the work people were willing to do.

And....

While at the festival, I did an interview with Lindsay Kent and Colby Rex O’Neill...Who are producing a film called “Going Further,” a documentary about Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters who were the subject of Tom Wolfe’s book The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. The film details in living color the festival culture that developed in their psychedelic wake and the reawakening of a new generation of pranksters.

Check out the trailer here....

Ever since I was a kid I had heard stories from my father about his time with The Pranksters in San Francisco, protesting the war, spending Christmas in jail and meeting luminaries such as MLK, Joan Baiez and Dylan Thomas. Bedtime stories like that were my introduction to counter-culture.  My Dear friends and Avatarism co-conspirators “Burning Dan” Levitt and Teafaerie gave me Wolfe’s Book back in 2006 and asked me to read it. Shortly after reading it I realized that my small circle of friends, who went to festivals like Burning Man, who embodied self created avatar characters that seemed to communicate in a powerful way with tons of people, we were part of the next generation of Pranksters. Dedicated to fermenting culture, uprooting culture and uplifting culture. Without the pranksters I may never have realized my quest of writing and creating the transformational game of Avatarism. When they asked to interview me I was excited but I had no idea it would go so well.

When we were done with the interview Lindsay said "out of all 400 hours of footage we have...and we cant use everyone...you will be in this film" and " You basically finished the film for us." WTF!!????? Holycrapadoodledoo!!! Obviously I am a huge merry prankster fan and arguably in their lineage so....I am super, really really, totally and completely excited to be in this film!!!!! What a gift!!!!! Thanks Lucidity, Thanks Lindsay and Colby!!!! Thanks Universe of Yes!!!

From one transformational film to the next.....

My film, ”The Last Avatar,” is having it’s West Coast Premiere!!!!

A couple years ago...I co-wrote a spiritual adventure film with the super team of Writer Director, Jay Weidner (director of Gaiam TV, one of the world's foremost alchemical and hermetic scholars), Neale Donald Walsh (Author of Conversations with  God) and Sharon Rose (Sacred Mysteries, Author of Path of the Priestess). Together we endeavored to make an adventure film with the same spiritual impact as “The Secret” and “What the Bleep Do We Know.”

"WE ARE BECOMING CONSCIOUS OF OUR POWER TO RE-MAKE THE WORLD" -Alexander Polinsky as "Kalki"

I really got to sink my teeth into filmmaking and directing and even set design and construction in this film.  After being a former child actor on the sitcom Charles in Charge, starring in the indie classic Saints and Soldiers and scores of animated projects as a voice actor it was a welcome change to have some creative power behind the camera.

The Last Avatar centers around Jack Ryan Played by myself, (Alexander Polinsky) a down and out writer from Hollywood that goes on a vision quest into the Pacific North West. He finds a strange web of intrigue and promptly falls into the middle of an ancient Prophesy. Still in disbelief, Jack is given a gift by a messenger of Telos played by Neale Donald Walsh, who shows him a power of unimaginable importance to mankind. The transmission scenes in The Las Avatar make this an important and impactful film for people interested in spirituality, the health of the planet, the inherent power within each one of us and our ability to change ourselves the world. Featuring gorgeous locations all over the Pac Crest Trail, Oregon and Mt. Shasta California. The last Avatar features cameos by a host of talented actors from the Ashland Oregon Shakespeare Festival and a remarkable Co-starring performance by the talented composer/actor Adey who lights up the screen with a natural beauty and delivers a haunting, all original score featuring songs from her album “Rogue.”

See The Last Avatar and meet ME!

The Last Avatar is premiering at Full Circle Venice on the 26th of the month. The release is very limited as we are only showing the film at spiritual meeting spaces and sharing profit with the groups who want to be part of The Last Avatar Transmission. Please come and see the film!!! It starts at 7pm on Sunday April 26th.

The Avatarism: Spiritual Superhero Workshop!!!

The Avatarism Spiritual Superhero Workshop is an exciting and fun, three hour inquiry into the nature of character itself. Avatarism comes from the ancient Sanskrit "Avatara" which means Godlike human beings or living superheroes. Avatarism is an ancient idea that has been used by some of the most prominent luminaries and icons of the age to magnify and empower themselves to epic proportions; Ama the hugging saint, Martin Luther King, Ghandi, Patch Adams and countless politicians and celebrities and notable people throughout history have used this game/philosophy. Avatarism is the game of conscious character creation and embodiment and may be the secret to why so many successful and spiritual people have risen to astronomical heights. Learn about your degenerate programming and how to create a more compelling narrative to blast out those old programs. Activate your deep memory circuits and create new way of being with yourself, with people and the world. Avatarism is the game we are already playing. Come join us for a fun, lively and participation rich workshop with the Star/Co-Director/Writer of "The Last Avatar film,", writer and founder of Avatarism Alexander Polinsky.

#Avatarism Presents Alexander Polinsky’s notes

Activ8 Easter Sunday

Full Circle Church Venice

4/4/2015 4pm

Happy spring everyone! My name is Alexander Polinsky

I'm the founder of the Avatarism movement, a cartoon voice actor and a spiritual entertainer. I speak about Avatarism, the open source game/philosophy of conscious character creation. Thank you to Andrew Keegan and everyone here at full circle for inviting me to speak again. It's an honor. Especially on this tasty and fertile holiday.

This is it!

This is spring

This is the rebirth

The reconnection  

The re-greening of dead spaces

This is life.

It's the season for action

It's the season for building

and creating

and its the season for planting seeds

This is the time.

So

if you ever thought.....that maybe

there was a time....

and that....it just might be the time

to do...the thing,

that you've been putting off,

Ya know...The thing.....that would make you feel wonderful

Powerful, healthy, magnetic, challanged

That thing that would help you experience your own inner light,

Expose that light,

Share that light,

Amplify your message,

Communicate your position to the ones that need to hear it,

Inspire you to speak words of love and acceptance to your inner child, motivate you to speak words of love to all the children around you,

and if you thought that spring

might be a good time

to significantly get into the great work of your life,

If you thought that spring might be the right time to

ban all words of self-doubt and self judgment,

If you've had a little buzzing hummingbird in your ear telling you that

maybe just maybe

you're a little scared of just how

powerful and magnetic and impactfull to the world

you really are...

then maybe spring is here to show you what's possible.

Spring says

It's time to do your thing.

It's a reconnection

it's a noticing

it's an observation

that things are moving

things are growing

and spring is asking:

Are you ready to take part in that?

Ready to have this change ?

Ready for what's possible?

Im ready to spring!

Say it with me...

I'm ready to spring!

I'm ready to spring

I'm ready to spring!

Good!

Let's talk about blooming,

let's talk about blossoming,

let's talk about fruiting…

Because there is a blossoming happening here

a blooming

a proliferation of something really exciting and beautifully new

and it can't be denied.

We are making a new kind of connection

We are co-creating and fermenting

a new paradigm of self love, reverence and worship

It was inevitable that the old stories and the old rituals became meaningless

powerless and bloodless.

Even as they try to assert their old style dominance

trying to remind us of the painful stories to keep us scared

continue the holy wars to fill their pocktets

and spread nonsensical, judge mental doctrines that

separated us and taught us little.

But as we sit here

I can tell you

it is my opinion

that these old ideas are dying

They are dying in the light of reason

in the light of nature,

the Internet and plain good sense.

We are nature

we are infinite

we are natures expression of infinite possibility in infinite space

And so it is our duty

and our privilege

to begin to wake up

and start acting like we know it.

Wake up and stop the wars

wake up and be good stewards of the earth

wake up and be conservationists of this garden planet

wake up and show creation that we realize how rare and important we are.

Our DNA allows for unlimited joy along the way as we search for ourselves and it has always been so.

So don’t be scared..

Look at the flowers

smell the jasmine blooming

look at the sunflowers

pick some ripe fruit

and tell me nature isn't smiling.

My dog smiles all the time.

Specially when I have bacon.

Just for a moment close your eyes 

and breathe normally

and with each breath in

I want you to feel that deep and inherent pleasure of being alive

It's like an inward smile

that is always smiling

a flame that is always burning

A position of ultimate satisfaction

no matter what is happening

no matter the thought stream, the judgment cascade

or any pain or fear you are experiencing

Underneath it all

your DNA is programmed for pleasure,

bliss,  

nirvana is your default setting

Smile

Smile really big and increase your capacity to experience  bliss.

Keep breathing, keep smiling

And slowly open your eyes

Look around

We can be blooming  and blossoming anyway

and on any day

and for any reason

that we wish.

Appreciate even the smallest bit of nature and be enlightened

Nature illuminates

Nature activates

Nature terra-forms,

creates new ground,

generates the soil,

Creates possibility,

she gives birth to life

immense and green

she takes back urban spaces that have been forgotten

with a vengeance

she does battle with anything that says "I am permanence"

"I am unchangeable. "

Remember

Where there was only rock

she said  

Grand   Canyon

So when Nature says

“everything must change!”

it will. 

and to make it easy for us to understand

she makes it a dance of color and vibrance and beauty and seduction and raw power.

Nature is truth.

She is our body.

She is our mother and our spaceship.

And so this easter, Ishtar, or spring... may you find your true nature

as you see it

and use this season of growth

to renew your spirit

and make fertile ground

of your heart and mind.

And so it is.
