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

So....after six or seven years of writing, lecturing and conducting workshops about Avatarsm, my parents still don't understand what my mission is about! My dad, mom and brother ask me to explain the game to them over and over and it seemed as though they just couldn't understand what I was doing. (my stepmother is completely 100% not interested) So I'll explain it to them, tell them to read my blog, visit the Facebook page and see what I am talking about but it seemed as though they had a major block to getting it. Then...over lunch this week, my mother asked me to explain Avatarism again! So... I used the story of one of my clients...let's call him “Sam”. 

 Sam is a good looking, professional guy in his mid 20s who really wants to make a fast and beautiful first impression on the people around him (in particular...females.) He would be "all in his head," around his co-workers and women and not be present and invested in his highest character. He was quiet and not showing up as the person he really wanted to be… The person he saw himself as; confident… Happy… Sexy…awesome. This is how he wants to feel. So we begin to work on A super powerful way of communicating abundance and confidence without words! It was such a minor change, a small adjustment, but it had explosive effects, swift and devastatingly effective.  

On the first day that he began embodying this new character choice...(without any pick up lines or sleazery.)..he had an experience with a woman that changed him for good. The very next day after I invented this technique for him...he met a woman on the street and impacted her in an instant. Sam perceived that this woman was out of his league; gorgeous, sexy, stylish and possibly some sort of intergalactic supermodel.  As Sam walked towards her, he activated this new character program effortlessly and without force. As they got closer he kept this technique in his mind, embodying it as best he could. They passed each other and amazingly...she stopped....... and said "hello!!!” Not in some kind of polite way...but in that surprised...and pleased fashion, like when you meet someone that you have a feeling about, A person that makes you feel good about who you are. Sam wordlessly communicated a kind off affluent, need-less and want-less openness to her. 

 This kind of confidence literally stops people on the street and makes them want to interact with you. I experience this almost daily....it’s almost effortless and it’s so much fun! It leads me to meeting people and making great connections I would never expect. 

Unfortunately Sam was so blown away by his own superpower that he hapily continued to stroll down the street and contemplate what just happened... and he completely forgot to get her phone number! Not to worry, I feel like this is the first of many many positive encounters for Sam. It's a tiny adjustment but his life will never be the same. In that moment he went from "needing and wanting" to "having and giving" which is 10,000 times more attractive to the world. 

 So I told my mom this story, and after years and years of her not understanding my work in Avatarism... she finally got it! "so it's like a game, kind of like theater or acting where you try things,  see if they work, and if they do you make them part of your character. It's theatrical, exciting, self help!" YES MOM! You've got it! Awesome!!!! Uplevel!! 

 But wait....it didn't stop there...because the next day...totally unrelated to one another (they've been divorced for decades).....my dad sends me this poem about Avatarism!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 "Avatar" 

By Steven Paul Polinsky 

You can be who you wanna be 

No need to study philosophy 

You create the recipe Start movin’ toward your destiny 

Decide on who your Avatar is No matter how wild it seems 

No matter what you’re thinking be the character of your dreams 

Let your imagination take flight Come on, give in, don’t fight 

Think of who you wanna be Stop foolin’ around just set it free! 

Superman, Batman, Princess, Fairy, 

Robotic monster or something more scary 

Buddha, Fluffy ears, bangles and jewels 

Nothing’s too crazy for Gods and Fools! 

Release the being within your heart 

The fire will burn right from the start 

Your confidence will gather strength as you go 

As your momentum begins to grow 

 You’ll feel your confidence soar 

As you allow yourself to explore 

The world won’t be a boring space 

If your Avatar is in place! 

Wow! Thanks Steve!!!! 

 ......so in one week both my mom and my dad started resonating with my work and giving me some amazing gifts as a result. I guess this is a message to keep going, to not stop and to forever endeavor!!!! (LOL! I wasn't going to stop anyway ha ha!) Thanks Nancy Niver and Steve Polinsky What a gift. ; )

Avatarism presents Krishnamurti on Loving without thought and training the brain to be more accepting of what is:

Is it possible to observe without the thinker? I look at everything with an image, with a symbol, with memory, with knowledge. I look at my friend, at my wife, at my neighbor, at the boss, with the image which thought has built. I look at my wife with the image I have about her, and she looks at me with the image she has about me: the relationship is between these two images. This is a fact,it’s not an invention on my part,it’s a fact! Thought has built these symbols, images, ideas. Can I look, at first, at a tree, at a flower, at the sky, at the cloud, without an image? The image of the tree is the word I have learned which gives a certain name to the tree, tells its species and recalls its beauty. Can I look at that tree, at that cloud, at that flower, without thought, without the image? That’s fairly easy to do, if you have done it. But can I look without the image at a human being with whom I am intimate, whom I consider as wife, husband, child? If I can’t, there is no real relationship: the only relationship is between the images that we both have. So, can I look at life, the clouds, the stars, the trees, the river, the bird on the wing, my wife, my child, my neighbor, this whole earth -can I look at it all without the image? Though you have insulted me, though you have hurt me, though you have said nasty things about me or praised me, can I look at you without the image or the memory of what you have done and said to me?Do see the importance of this, because it’s only a mind that has retained the memories of hurt, of insult, that is ready to forgive, if it is at all inclined that way. A mind that is not storing up its insults, the flatteries that it receives, has nothing to forgive or not forgive; therefore there is no conflict. Thought has created these images, both inwardly and outwardly. Can the images come to an end, and thought look at everything in life afresh? If you can do this, you will find that without your conscious, deliberate effort to change, change has taken place, a radical change. Most people are ambitious; they want to be somebody: authors, painters, businessmen, or politicians. Priests want to become archbishops. Thought has created this society and sees the advantage of becoming powerful, dominant, an important person, which happens only through ambition. Thought has created the image through observation of the man in power and wants the pleasure of owning a big house, having a picture appear in the papers, and all the rest of it. Can one live in this world without ambition, without the image of pleasure which thought has created? Can one function technologically, outwardly, without this poison of ambition? It can be done, but it is possible only when we understand the origin of thinking and understand actually, factually, the unreality of the division between the observer and the observed. Then we can proceed, because then virtue has a totally different meaning. It is not the moral virtue of an ugly, corrupt society, but virtue which is order. Virtue, like humility, is not something to be cultivated by thought. Thought is not virtuous; it is bourgeois, petty, and thought cannot possibly understand either love or virtue or humility. - Krishnamurti

[avatarismblog]

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....

https://www.facebook.com/goingfurthur/videos/vb.735606583199409/810037789089621/?type=2&theater

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.

Thank you.

Avatarism presents Notes from #Activ8 iRev. Alexander Polinsky March 29, 2015 Full circle church Venice Difference between a robot and a player character in the game if you are robot in the game then the game has programmed you The game tells the robot how to act and react but mostly how to attack. If you suspect someone is a robot then they are most likely playing in style and within a system that they did not fully choose. Automata, drones, mundanes, muggles. Quick to complain about life, sickness prone and under nourished with inspiration, a robot is a fairly squandered thing. If you are a player then you are the architect of your own game You become the master, the conductor of the construct, the mutation in the system A player character with a purpose You create the purpose The character is the communication! Use your character to slather the world in your unique style of excellence! When you are making up your own parameters and exceeding your own limits you can realize the power of your own creative will. The will is the way. Not the things we say, or the crystals we buy, or the gurus we seek You createThe ecka grata! The one pointed focus The essential points of interest The things you will embody They become part of you and then when that happens you become a living breathing communication of that story that you're writing. We are not only here to learn nothingness, to empty ourselves to renounce our bad habits and relinquish our fear.... We are also here to do something to create something To give something back into the stream To encode our story with love and gratitude This time is precious So remember that breath is a necessity and a ritual practice. To be inspired is to breathe in To be inspired by others is to breathe in their love and Grace To be inspired by God is to breathe in godlike energy We can Literally breathe in that which we love inhale peace inhale togetherness inhale love and become one with it It's like right here in the circle is an immense amount of love and spiritual support can you feel it? If you can feel it, say yes! So the question becomes what do we do with this immensely powerful immediate and supportive circle of love? Let's breathe it in, let's all take five breaths, and each breath in I want you to literally breathe in the love from this room Breathe in the love that is here in this room Then...breathe out love From the core of your being let it cascade across your body Breathe in bring a smile to your face uplift your chest Breath out love lift your head up and as you do look around At the he other smiling faces in this room who are breathing in your love breathing out your love and letting it in letting this love inside as a concept, as magic as palpable reality This possibly the most healing energy and we can generate as human beings. So breathe in… Breathe out… And continue for the rest of your lives. Forever endeavor, iRev. Alexander Polinsky

Avatarism Presents:

Full Circle Venice Sunday speech by iRev. Alexander Polinsky

Sunday March 15 2015 activ8

Good morning! I’m alexander polinsky, founder of the Avatarism movement and co-creator here at Full Circle Venice.

It is a privilege to speak here with you. Is a privilege to share space, to share time, to share ideas…and share ourselves.

Imagine for a moment that you walk into empty room…in the center is a table which has been set with objects. Coming closer you reach out and touch your childhood hairbrush, a silver cup, the first piece of jewelry you bought with your own money, A piece of blown glass that an artist made in the 1800s, your grandmothers faerie figurine, A crystal matrix you found while you were hiking in Malibu Creek State Park, The ashes of your ancestors, a stone heart, a jade scull. Each object has a connection to you, a personal story and a particular vibration. Each object is loaded with meaning, and is symbolic of a time and place and feeling.

If you were to find and assemble all the important and spiritually charged items from your past and present and assemble them together, what would the effect on you be?

What’s an altar? How do you create significance. How do you Altar yourself!

An altar is symbolic communication, it’s a symbol of the spiritual body of the worshipper and a portal to access altered states. An altar is a language, a kind of communication with your higher consciousness.

I see the altars and sacred spaces of the world as a kind of dance or courtship with the universe.

This is a visual and vibrational communication pre verbal and meant to activate wonder, interest and reverence. Altars are a perfected form of communication. A way to make the unknowable clearer for a moment.

When you realize language is a super power with the ability to altar consciousness and you begin to play with it and positively hone it towards your own highest vision…A marvelous thing happens. You realize the negative words, the self-deprecation, the sarcasm, the habitual repeating of painful stories (as if those were the lynch pins holding your existence together and not the veritable multitude of joyful instances in between) are all just ways in which you stop yourself from being fully realized. Your words create a meta-altar, a linguistic altar around you...and you judge yourself by the power, beauty or horror of what you have constructed.

Think about it!

Your word IS your wand. All The wand does is extend the reach of your body…beyond yourself…so that your word is elevated to a command with a deeper meaning and an outward trajectory. It elevates the emotions and creates an attitude of power and focused will.

attitude is everything.

Attitude monitors altitude.

For we only go as high as we allow ourselves. Self-limiting-prophecy…is common…and it’s disillusion is the order of the day.

How do you alter attitude, soften the dark shadow, quiet the inner roommate or silence the voice of criticism? how do we maintain a graceful harmonious inner landscape?  

we have the keys to the garden…there so many keys!…but One of those keys…is your word….your word…put into the service of your will…to create the highest vision of yourself, The uber-you.

A more conscious, more loving more rarefied you…

For our words may be the most powerful magic that we have.

Once you find you have a consciousness that is able to copy and communicate…The next thing you want to do is play with it. you want to see what I can do…get out for a spin…feed it some literature… some fine art…action movies….maybe you played with Action figures, rainbow bright, Polly pocket, He-man or Harry Potter,

Whatever games we played as a kid we played them deeply. Our richly imagined  fantasies were so engaging that we got sucked in to a Vortex where the play felt real, authentic, Time faded away for a moment and we felt truly engaged and happy. Being truly engrossed in any activity can be a meditation and you must only assemble the space, the intention and the tools that help you enter into that state of mind. Once accessed it opens a circuit that can be utilized over and over.

When you travel across the world and you look at temples from different cultures you realize that we are a culture…… humanity is a culture….of ritual…and every culture has its rituals… it’s sacred space… it’s alter space. even here, where we are dedicated to open source, choose your own adventure spirituality.  We have altars that reflect our heroes, values and visions and we use them to communicate how important these ideas may be at the moment.

The beauty of the space reflects and magnifies our words and intentions.

An altar space is a space that alters you.

And it is here in this space…where we become altered…because of the focus…because of the elegance and beauty of this space…our own inner space is altered. As outside so inside. We rise to the occasion of grace, compassion and peace as we enter and we  begin to harmonize our inner space more readily with the help of ritual and environment or a “ritual-environment.”

Using the altar technology,

enacting reverence

to experiment with our own mental capacity to activate wonder, awe, gratitude, and acceptance.

Honing our own flow

Activating the power of focused reverance for the experience itself is valuable

Using these experiences to create a strong and embodied character

Building consciousness

Ready for enlightenment

Welcoming our authentic self to rize

This is why were here, to altar ourselves, to learn to be excellent with ourselves and others and be a gift to the universe.

So it becomes important to start asking questions about the nature of your character, The nature of your words, The nature of your… Nature.  

From silence comes the word

From nothing comes possibility

From a blank slate we can design anything

Uplevel the story you’ve been telling about yourself in your head

Uplevel the story you tell about yourself in the board room, the bedroom, the bathroom, and of uplevel the story you tell about yourself in the secret places of your heart and upon the altars and of the world.

Please look at the person to your left and say:

you are powerful

you are beautiful

your words matter

your words transform you

uplift you

uplevel you

and uphold you

your words are beautiful

your words matter

Your words are an altar

Put your word in service of your will

Let’s do this

let’s do this

let’s do this!

And so it is.

Thank you.

Avatarism Presents iRev. Alexander Polinsky's Sunday Notes: 

Full Circle Venice Church

Delivered Sunday 10:00 am March 8 2015 

Written by iRev. Alexander Polinsky

Good mystical Morning! My name is iRev. Alexander Polinsky. I am the  iRev. of this beautiful Full Circle Venice Church, and I am the founder of the Avatarism movement.

Today, in honor of World Women's Day, I'd like to acknowledge that we have all been silent too long. Mothers, Fathers, sisters, brothers friends and loves...instead of a moment of silence.... as if something has died, we make a rising sound, to feed the fire, for the rebirth, transformation and transmogrification of women's rights around the globe. In places like india where rape is viewed as the fault of the woman, in areas of the mid-east where woman may drive or go out of their homes without a relative, in Africa where mutilation of women's sexual organs is a common practice... and anywhere women are viewed as second or third class citizens and short changed as a result. Join me...in breathing life...and awareness...into global women's rights... Please join me in a rising sound. 

Deep breath, 

woooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

(Make a joyful rising sound!)

Awesome!!

So to get this ritual of togetherness started right....I'd like to move a little energy....do like me!

(Start everyone snapping their fingers call and response...SING...Oh Yeah!...Uh Huh!...YES!!!)

(Room is elevated!)

Great job!

Breathe!

So, I'd like to ask you to use this moment, use these precious few moments, use this heart mind connection, use ruthless optimism, use all the muscles necessary to smile, use this space.... to create the highest vision you can create for this moment.

Some Relaxation,

A little inspiration,

Healing of wounds,

Embodying love, compassion, togetherness.

Today, We ask for inspiration.

Spiritual in-spiration.

To Inspire, to breathe in!

Breathe in.......that which you want to embody.

Breathe out... that which you want to let go.

Breathe in......the possibility of a light heart....breathe out... Any heavyness or stress

Breathe in...a deep breath...wellcoming the good-ness of this moment.... breathe out... the pain of the past or the present.  Breathe in deeply.....the The possibility of being invested in yourself....and blow out....the hot stale air of self limiting programs.

Shake it out.

If one of the reasons you're here is to be around spiritual people and you're in the right place, if the reason is just to be with people then you are in the right place as well. You fallen into a really special group, a sacred circle, a circuit of upholding. We can't do this without all of us. Each one of us perfect, whole, and complete....and ready for more. It's my job to inspire you to Uplevel your game, embody greatness and uphold each other.

This is a choose your own adventure universe!

So i offer you the possibility of a choose your own adventure spirituality.

Unique to each one of us.

Our own, spiritual journey,here on earth, is the greatest adventure, the greatest gift and the greatest school for enlightenment that there is.  

We agree that there is no separation, that all of us are brothers and sisters and if we trace far enough back we find, we all came from the same mother and same father.

Each one of us

different but connected

unique in our view of what is sexy what is holy

and what is humorous

Each one of us essential to this circuit!"

Are you switched on?

Turned on?

Are you really here?  

How about your heart/mind?

Are you truly manifested or are you

"mani-festering"?

Going stale...on your spiritual journey because it has no inclination....no level up? Are you Waiting for someone to wake you up?

Change FOR you?

Save you?

.......We...are the ones we have been waiting for.

We are the conductors

of our own inner tides.

It's always been up to us.

You won't be alone... because you'll be radically upheld by the support of this beautiful community!

This is what we are creating

This universe is an engine of creation. This universe creates consciousness. This universe creates consciousness that then in turn creates. So we see that to give something, to create something, to manifest something beautiful in this life, is possibly the highest form of gift that you could give back in appreciation.

Okay let's try something. Because We are awash in bored, complacent, judgemental, loaded glances.

Look around, look at each other, look people right in the eyes, maybe a little longer than is comfortable, and smile. Do it. Look at someone else! Scared?look more, smile more.

This is why we are really here!!!

You don't have to give up your power. Just connect with each other in a simple and loving way.

We have made this our heart centered goal, to create a focal point for open-source community spirituality, to promote workable spiritual technologies and healing modalities, to be curators for ancient and modern wisdom and use our powers to uplift and enlighten mankind.

So, this is just the start.

If you are inspired...come and spend some time with us.

If you are called....meditate, take some classes, ask me about Avatarism...If you are lit on fire for a purpose..Tell us what you want to create and we will uphold you. If you want to reconnect with the earth, come work in the garden after service. If you want to support our community based projects, veteran empowerment, Sunday services or just help us keep the lights on and the bills paid, we do need your help.

However you found us and however you find us now please know one thing we can't do this without all of us 

so if you are interested in creating and participating in this open, and powerfully embodied community of spiritual people....

this is it!

Welcome to full circle

can I get an I'm in?

Avatarism Presents: The Avatarism Workshop Series 

For three weeks this February 2015 I conducted a monumental Avatarism experiment. I painstakingly devised and outlined an Avatarism Play/Workshop to be delivered over 3 evenings. We had about 40 students ranging in ages from 19 to 51 from all corners of the globe. The workshops were 4 hours each day and the feeling in the room was so electric and exciting that we went almost without breaks till the end of each session. During the workhop we had an unbelievably amazing breakthrough with the material. Moments of utter amazement and recognition, faces lighting up, dark secrets revealed and their power discharged with ease. As the old programming was revealed to be insubstantial and based on nothing we reprogrammed ourselves with new and higher directives and were upheld by everyone present. 

As a result of this experience I found out that Avatarism works on so many more levels than I previously thought. It works on a religious level in that it inspires you to be more like your chosen god, saint or guru. It works on a physical level in that it can help you change your voice, your posture, your health and your body. It works on a relationship level in that it creates interested, cultured and self aware individuals who can love themselves and others more worshipfully and honestly. Avatarism also works on a creative level in that it roots out angst and complaints and helps manifest a more expressive, free and confident person...and a confident person creates more, lives more and does more! There was a lot of "AHA!," moments, some intense ones, a lot of laughter,  listening, sharing stories, sharing pain, joy, some writing,  a little singing and even a few tears. 

Participants said:

"So much #magic has been happening since#AlexanderNiverPolinsky's #Avatarism #workshop! Stoked he's the new #Reverend at #FullCircle #Venicewith #AndrewKeegan heart emoticon, I uphold you !!" -Ashton Swinford

"First of all I think you're really on to something here, I can see what you have to share being of tremendous value to the world, by transforming and empowering individuals in a truly unique way." "I definitely feel a new fire after your workshop" -Andrea Tseng

"Existential orgasm!" -Nick Barone

"So far I can tell you honestly that what you are doing IS upholding and upleveling to me. I am having one of the best times of my life, creativity is on high on all desired levels. -Issabelle Oliver

Two workshop participants began working one on one with me to improve their character's voice, resonance and presence. I am working with another participant on bringing Avatar Character Portraits into realization so we may see ourselves powerfully depicted in art the way only kings and queens have had access to in the past. This is a powerful tool of self realization in the Avatarism toolkit. Finally I have hired an able and enthusiastic assistant to help me increase the reach of Avatarism to more festivals, events and workshops and finally launch the Avatarism website. I am so grateful to all those who are playing this game with me and all the amazing words of support that have emboldened me, impassioned me and pushed me further. 

Avatarism....a gift that manifests greatness in others 

inspiring us all to be unique, loving and fiercely free

thereby increasing the morale on the spaceship

and creating heroes in it's wake

So, if it takes the same amount of time to do nothing, what have you got to lose? 

Your bordom?

It's your world. 

You are your own world leader. 

If you are waiting for something to happen...make it happen. 

Assemble the pieces

drop the kleenex 

and see what happens. 

Stop being sorry for wanting to be great. 

Leave the sad sad world of inner woe.....get out! 

Get into the flow.

Avatarism presents: iRev. Alex Uplevels!!!

Hello my epic friends and co-conspirators! So much is happening so fast…it feels like a steady acceleration of awesome, and I'm trying to keep my feet firmly on the ground. 

My involvement with Andrew Keegan and Full Circle Church Venice this month has been a super powered experience. Being the first person to speak at Full Circle twice was an honor and speaking on Superbowl Sunday was the perfect day to rock out with some super-transformational Avatarism magick!  Then…. Andrew invited me to speak at the Ascent Expo this weekend! With an expected turnout of 20,000 people, I was a bit scared (as the largest group I have ever spoken to was around 1000 at LIB last year). So I had to up level my game. While at the expo I got to see Rev. Michael Beckwith speak on Saturday about his mission to elevate the world out of their emotional blocks to doing good work, loving yourself and making giving part of the structure of doing business.  Sunday morning Patch Adams brought me to tears with stories of his clowning, humanitarian aid to war torn countries and the heroism of his band of sacred fools. Holding strangers as they passed on, being the embodiment of love, caring and compassion….with blue hair and a red nose. It's not every day that you meet a saint…and he is. He said that he had put 90% of his own money into this project from the start with almost no help from outside sources! After he spoke, I shook his hand and gave him all the money in my wallet. It wasn't much, but I felt compelled to do it. Patch put his hand on my cash and looked into my eyes and said….can you afford this? I'm crying right now writing this because….that kind of caring…that kind of concern for strangers is so rare it seems…but is it? I think we all have the star seed of godhood inside us. This allows us to practice amazing acts of heroism and care in the most unlikely places...and when you least expect it. This world is full of surprises if you only will look. Friends are everywhere! 

My speeches at the Expo went wonderfully and they were all taped so I can share them soon! I am going to be doing a whole lot more speaking in the next few months so keep checking in for locations, dates and times.

Last and certainly not least, in a very surprising offer…. Andrew Keegan has invited me to be the official Reverend of Full Circle Church Venice. I happily accepted! Avatarism will be woven into the very fabric of this exciting experiment in group spiritual awakening! We are in the process  of creating the very foundation, structure and organization of Full Circle and it is a huge project... but….the time has come for a non-religious, non dogmatic, open source center for spiritual inquiry and training. Full circle is already in the flow of curating events, speakers, lectures, rituals and parties. I am there every Sunday to speak and participate. I am working closely with Andrew and his team to construct a fun, positive and transformational environment for all of us to thrive in!!!! So many of you have already come and had sunday activation and resonation with us and I encourage all of you to join us. 

We are the ones we have been waiting for! We are living in a golden age of information, technology and spirituality. We only have to choose….To rock the system and make our move. With consciously created character, the willingness to hone your own flow and uphold others on the adventure, we can rise and we can create the paradise on earth we are all looking for. Its here, it's now and it's always been up to us.

Forever endeavor,

iRev. Alexander Polinsky
