I'm sorry to say that I've been reading a few negative reviews of your film
The Limits of Control. "Slow" & "pointless" were the main themes and I just
wanted to say that I think they're wrong! Well they're not wrong neccessarily,
it's just I don't think that these 'reviewers' are grasping the important central tenet
of the film which, in my opinion, is esoteric in nature. I was hign at the time this
occured to me but I still believe it might be true.

I think the film is a kind of visual manual describing the occult practice of
'woolgathering' (as the sufis might say) needed to be performed by a protagonist in
order to accomplish the remarkable feat of actual physical teleportation (if not actual
teleportation then a close enough approximation to make no meaningful difference).

I love the idea expressed by 'the violin' that the wood molecules are still resonating
with every note ever played, that's a wonderful poetry connecting art and science.
It's also, I think, a metaphor for the esoteric 'work' - the creative sorting and refining
of impressions into rarer and rarer 'vibrations' that linger within the self and provide
a viable fulcrum about which the whole world as we know it can be rotated for the
attainment of whatever dubious ends we may have in mind!

I'd like to think it's about handling your world strategically - "not when I'm working" -
in order to distill some powerful essence from reality which can be used to perform
the seemingly impossible; entry into the dark circle. The Chi Gung is a major clue
I think, as are the diamonds, symbolizing the perfection of the self and the tower
which, I think, like in the Tarot, represents the impersonal force of nature which
with proper skill can be harnessed for individual empowerment; although I still
don't fully understand significance of the tower in the film.

I'm writing to you because I feel like I'm the only person who's grasped this essential
truth about The Limits of Control, although I feel like that most of the time about
most things! I also think this is a funny letter and it would be a shame not to post it.

I put this film up there with other great esoteric classics like The Holy Mountain,
Zabriskie Point, Mary Poppins or Stalker. Perhaps, if you have the time, you'd write
back to me either confirming or denouncing my wacky theory.

Yours in creative reverence,

p.s. I saw Down by Law when I was 15 (I'm 37 now) and it literally changed my life
(for the better) so thanks for that too. You're the shit as they say.

Tenafly, NJ (PRWEB) December 22, 2009 “” Every day, millions of people turn to psychic readings for personal guidance, but until recently they were hard pressed to identify a real tarot reading from a sham without disclosing their identity. The Online Psychic Network is the first Internet-based marketplace for the psychic community that uses social networking to let customers find, rate, and engage with real online psychics anonymously.

“We in the psychic community have tried for years to help the public find trustworthy psychics,“ says Jennifer Glover, the community manager for the Online Psychic Network, “The Online Psychic Network give us a tool to do just that simply and effectively.“

Despite social stigmas, psychics play an important role in today’s society. An August survey from the Pew Forum on Religious and Public life suggested that 65 percent of Americans believed in or had experience with psychics or astrology. According to a 1998 UK-based survey, 92 percent of Britons believed in the paranormal and more than half of them thought telepathy works.

Nor are psychic’s influence confined to individuals. Both the United States and European countries have used psychics in government inquiries, including police investigations. Large companies have done the same. Seagate Technology, designer of the hard drive that’s incorporated into both the PlayStation 3 and the X-box, has tapped the services of world-renowned psychic and bestselling author Laura Day.

Online Psychic Growth
However, in an industry stereotyped by charlatans, finding a trustworthy psychic medium is a challenge for many. Social networks, the biggest story of the last decade, have helped. From MySpace to Twitter, consumers can receive an online tarot reading or other type of psychic reading. However, these networks lack rating systems and other Web u2.0 tools that help consumers separate real psychics from quacks.

Dedicated psychic marketplaces go a step further helping customers and psychic mediums. For consumers, psychic marketplaces provide tools for rating and reviewing online psychics. They provide psychic mediums with a global client base.

Last quarter, LivePerson (NASDAQ:LPSN), which operates an online psychic marketplace, generated approximately $150,000 in cash from its consumer business and saw revenues increase nine percent, nearly three times more than what it had projected in the second quarter. Another psychic marketplace has seen more than thirty-four million visitors since it launched in 2002.

A Psychic Network for Today
Existing psychic marketplaces, though, pose problems for consumers and the psychic mediums. They typically require consumers to disclose their identity, which can be a sensitive issue for many. They also force psychics to pay high commissions to the marketplace provider, forcing them to pass those expense onto the consumer.

With the Online Psychic Network, consumers looking for a Psychic Medium or Tarot Card Reading are more apt to find the right psychic at a price they can afford without having to reveal their identity. The Online Psychic Network lets customers use a combination of social networking tools and promotions to find the psychic right for them.

* Rating systems let consumers evaluate and report on their psychic reading experiences.
* Profile pages allow psychics to explain their credentials and their services.
* Free initial psychic chat lets consumers “try before they buy“ psychic reading services.

Most marketplaces force consumers to register with the network and in so doing disclose their identity. With the Online Psychic Network, customers can contact psychics anonymously, avoiding any social stigma.

Finally, online marketplaces often take forty even fifty percent of a psychic advisor’s fees in commissions. The best psychics end up passing on those costs to consumers or leaving the marketplace altogether. The Online Psychic Network charges low commission fee, retaining high quality psychic advisors who can pass those savings onto their customers

Psychic marketplaces. They’re good for the psychics and for the consumers. They bring a global market to the psychics and provide consumers the tools to select the psychic right for them. With the affordability and anonymity of the Online Psychic Network it’s easy to see why these marketplaces are changing the future of psychic readings.
