DAY 43: Consulting With the Wizanagamot

DAY 43: Consulting With the Wizanagamot

March 28, 2011
8:48 pm

I’m shaking off the last remnants of Dark Night, shaking off feelings of fear and apathy, and continuing on my Quest.


Time to tackle my second question. I think I’ll go with a Harry Potter theme today…

MIKE: How can assure the turnout and success for the Destiny 5 reality show project in Philadelphia?

ONE LAYER DEEP

HARRY: Create your video as planned this weekend. Make a website as planned. Let each question you ask this week build upon the other. With seven questions, each going seven layers deep, you intensify your power. Most importantly, keep asking yourself what do people want and need?

1^st Layer Question: What do people want and need?

TWO LAYERS DEEP

HERMINONE: I perceive that people want a useful distraction. Obviously, the public is going to spend billions of dollars on entertainment (movies, books, video games, music) and are in need of a fun diversion that is useful. This is what you’ve experienced, Mike, in the theater. How many times have actors used theater as an escape? What people want is an easy adventure…what people need is a Quest.

2^nd Layer Question: How do you communicate these wants and needs in a way that immediately causes someone to join the new meetup site?

THREE LAYERS DEEP

RON: In the video you’ll need to provide the information that reaches out to the viewer. The viewer needs to understand that they are going to be a part of the story. This is a reality show where YOU --the viewer-- takes an active role in the characters, plot and outcome of the story. The only problem with your life is that you’re mesmerized by stories instead of actively taking part in YOUR story! You are going to be fully engaged in the process of your own life story and accomplish something in 60 days in your real life that will surprise you!

3^rd Layer Question: How do you communicate this message effectively in a video?

FOUR LAYERS DEEP

DUMBLEDORE: Suffice to say, Michael, you already have compiled the images, the classical citations and story to present in the video you wish to present next week. My advice, or educated guess, would be to open your new video with questions that shoot straight to the heart of the issue: “Do you know there’s more to life than what you’re experiencing? Are you looking for deeper relationships, deeper experiences and a deeper emotional connection to life? Have you ever mused over what people would think if your life were on television? What if there was a reality show that you could take part in tomorrow that addresses the core meaning of your life personally? What if, after taking part in an entire season of this reality television experience, you accomplished something that defined your life?”

4^th Layer Question: How can you easily incorporate this into your video making process?

FIVE LAYERS DEEP

SNAPE: Simply make the recording of these questions and find images that support said questions.  This would be the most prudent course of action.  I think the relevant question now is how do you build the campaign for this idea?

5^th Layer Question: What will you do to spread the word about this endeavor?

SIX LAYERS DEEP

DOBBY: Dobby says you should write a press release. Send this press release including all the information you’ve received in this council. Keep it simple. If you wish to have 200 members on your meetup, send the press release 200 times. Be brave - when you send this to your network, include the PR, the video and a humble announcement. “I apologize if sending this is considered intrusive or bold, but I’m following my heart. Please watch this video…” and add whatever comes through your heart.

6^th Layer Question: What is coming through your heart at this moment?

SEVEN LAYERS DEEP

MIKE: I believe what I’m dong is more than just following my own desire to make a career out of what I love. I truly believe this represents a movement. It’s not “my” movement but a movement to take authentic action in what every single human being wants and needs to do with their lives. It’s an opportunity to create a media with a common thread - to support each other in attaining our deepest desires. It’s the most powerful opportunity for Lovers, Providers, Artists, Teachers and the Every Day Men and Women can come together and amplify their efforts using the very powerful video medium.

What’s in my heart? I believe deep down we’re scared to declare our truest and highest aspiration of our
SELF. This reality television concept finally gives someone permission to openly declare what they want to be in life and actively pursue that with no excuses. My heart tells me that YES this is a fearful proposition, but not so fearful that others won’t go for it. To me, this represents the 21^st century hero’s journey.

7^th Layer and Original Question:

How can assure the turnout and success for the Destiny 5 reality show project in Philadelphia?


Step 1: Keep doing what I’m doing.
Step 2: Make a recording for the video asking the specific questions, ““Do you know there’s more to life than what you’re experiencing? Are you looking for deeper relationships, deeper experiences and a deeper emotional connection to life? Have you ever mused over what people would think if your life were on television? What if there was a reality show that you could take part in tomorrow that addresses the core meaning of your life personally? What if, after taking part in an entire season of this reality television experience, you accomplished something that defined your life?”
Step 3: Find images that support these questions.
Step 4: Write a press release to go out 200 times.
Step 5: Open the press release with a message that speaks from the heart.
