Did you ever wish you could make a positive change in your life by just sitting back and watching a show? According to Brent Marchant, the road to self-improvement can be that enjoyable.

Marchant supports “conscious creation,” a philosophy made popular by the hit movies What the Bleep?! and The Secret which encourages individuals to take control of their thoughts and thus transform their lives.

Movies, he says—from popular and critical favorites like Crash and A Beautiful Mind to classics such as Casablanca and The Wizard of Oz —are the perfect source material for learning how conscious creation works.

On your show Marchant can:

• Explain how the diverse characters in Crash, for instance, have unconsciously created the trauma in their lives ­ and how we can avoid this kind of painful, unconscious creating.

• Talk about characters such as Rick Blaine, Humphrey Bogart’s character in Casablanca, whose consciously created cool demeanor
can teach us something about the face we choose to put out to the world.

• Answer audience questions about how to apply the lessons learned from movies to real-life situations.

CREDENTIALS: Brent Marchant is the author of GET THE PICTURE: Conscious Creation Goes to the Movies (Moment Point Press, 2007). He is a freelance writer, editor and photographer, and there’s hardly a movie you can name that he hasn’t seen.
