All the Academy Awards nominees for Best Actor have given outstanding performances… on the surface. They spoke their lines believably, developed an interesting character, got the voice, the walk, the look. Perhaps most extraordinary, these superb actors received direction with enough objectivity to improve a character’s portrayal, rather than destroying it.
No wonder the Oscar nominees are so greatly admired. Yet only a tiny minority of them have gone all the way, changing their CHAKRAS. This takes the greatest talent, and a rare kind of courage.
What does it mean to shift that deep, playing a part? Nothing within you feels the same. Imagine a length of beige cloth that you are dying green. Most people would be satisfied with a cloth that looks green. But you will not be satisfied with some simple dunk in the vat. You find a way to do the ultimate transformation. Consequently, the cloth changes so completely that if you held the most powerful microscope in the world up that cloth, the most minute fibers would glow bright green.
Well, okay, here is something easier to imagine: What happens when an aura reader like me turns movie critic? I can read the deepest possible shifts within an actor. And that is just what I’ll do in this article, with an in-depth critique of Will Smith’s performance in “The Pursuit of Happyness.” (If you would like to receive links to the photos I used in this article, email me. You can find an address at the Rose Rosetree website.)
Since I can read auras from regular photographs (and could teach you to do the same, incidentally), it is easy to compare the aura of an actor just being himself to his still shot from the movie, where he is in character. Did I see this movie? No, and as a recovering English Major I must admit that I am not thrilled with a title that spells a word so horribly wrong. But I have put this aside in my role as Auric Movie Critic. Reading from photos, I asked this question: Who could transform all the way? Here is what I found about Will Smith in this movie, where he plays a a single dad struggling to make a better life for himself and his young son (played by his own son in real life):
Root chakra—How his personality projects when he enters a room
As himself: Will is sunny, strong, uncommonly lively, with a great sense of humor and the ability to set off laughter in others. For an actor, he sure is a balanced, normal person. Physical intelligence is very strong, again, more than with most actors. (And, yes, I appreciate that physical intelligence is a job requirement for any professional actor.)
In the movie: He acts the same as usual, just toning down some of his natural outrageousness.
Sex chakra—What would he be like as a lover?
As himself: Not just physical as an actor, Will is very physical as a lover, too, plus being tender and strong. However, the sexual aspect of his life is not particularly on display in public, not unless his aura is being read. Count all this as the highest praise.
In the movie: Again, he is playing himself.
Solar plexus chakra—Handling power, what is his pattern at the time of this photo?
As himself: Investigating this is where the aura reader nearly bursts into tears. Not only does Will Smith has a huge projection at this part of his aura. Rather, the history is here of a man who has struggled more than I ever would have guessed from the two previous chakras. He has been walloped by life numerous times and put himself back together. Clearly, he has aptly been named “Will.” What an inspiration!
Note, too, that the degree of self-generated spiritual healing within has been exceptional. Why? Because Will’s root chakra does not show signs of trauma. You know how people talk about forgive and forget? It takes really powerful forgiveness for someone to release trauma from the most primal chakra, at the base of the torso.
In the movie: At last, here comes the first big shift for Will in this role. In character, he is NOT powerful. Instead, he struggles with feeling powerless, doubting himself, and being very careful not to let his worries show. Really touching!
Heart chakra—How does he handle emotions?
As himself: Simple emotions, one at a time—that is his specialty. Leave aside huge emotional depths, agonizing, ambivalence, and big psychological inquiry. This is a man who stays open to feelings but does not dwell upon them.
In the movie: Playing himself again, Will is projecting a subdued cheerfulness.
Communication chakra—Truthfulness? Talent? What shows here?
As himself: Will is conscious of having the ability to project strong and believable emotions. In the publicity photo I am reading, he hides behind this ability, suggesting a rather private man for whom public appearances are a job, not a requirement to bare his soul before strangers.
In the movie: Will seems focused and more serious than comes naturally to him, but otherwise there is no significant alteration to his usual throat chakra display.
Spirituality chakra—How does he connect to God?
As himself: Will Smith connects to God fully, unquestioningly. As with his emotions, the actor shows something passionate and true, but neither complicated, intellectualized, nor needing a lot of fancy explanation. It just is.
In the movie: He is playing himself. If he had been able to show struggle here, comparable to what displays in his power center, the performance would be way more effective. Otherwise, the sureness and serenity of this third eye clashes with the portrayal of a man being tested.
Soul expression chakra—Deep down, how does this person feel as a human being?
As himself: Beautifully balanced with the spiritual connection at the third eye, Will Smith knows how to be human with zest and integrity. He actually is a self-made, real-life expert on happiness.
In the movie: He is, again, playing himself.
Summary: Great acting, this is not. Yet Will Smith lights up the screen because, as a person, he truly is magnificent. Yes, he broadcasts real inspiration, especially what he models from his solar plexus chakra about personal empowerment.
