Module 2 -Lesson 3: The Transformational Journey

[Andre]

Andre’s
Transformational Journey.

1. My one-sentence vision for my success from this program is…

…to learn how to write the best script(s) of my life, so far, by dramatically improving the quality of my writing in the genres of Action, Erotica, and Horror; while having both the Financial and Time resources to travel the world doing so, with colleagues / friends /peers, (the few that I have).

2. Under My Vision, answer What I learned from doing this assignment is…

Objective: Create the transformational journey for our main Characters that an audience will care about deeply.

Arc Beginning: This is where the Character starts.

Arc Ending: This is where the Character is at the end of the movie.

The story begins in one place and ends in another. A major change will occur between that start and finish point. The arc covers the journey between them, that is, everything that happens to change the old ways into the new ways.

There are both Internal and External Journeys.

Internal Journey: This is a mind and emotions change.

External Journey: This is an action and experience change.

My Character Arc and External/Internal Journey are my guide as I create the Old Ways/New Ways. Doing this, I will know exactly what changes I need to make to have my Transformational Journey be powerful.

Project: The Planetary Prince…

2. Tell the Character Arc for my Protagonist: Indigo.

· Arc Beginning: A voice, perhaps his guardian angel, warns him to change seats just prior to a hit and run accident in which he experiences NDE (Near Death Experience).

· Arc Ending: Is someone who accepts his NDE (Near Death Experience) and now accepts he has access to both worlds, parallel dimensions.

3. Give their Internal/External Journey:

Internal Journey: Mental Health (not illness) and acceptance to Body, Mind, and Soul union.

External Journey: Dealing with ignorance of western medicine in regards to his experience, because it is not in their textbooks, he loses everything and is discounted as 5150.

4. Tell their Old Ways at the beginning of the movie and their New Ways at the end.

Old Ways: Trusting in the system.

New Ways: Trusting in himself.

Project: ΩmegaMan…

Character Name: Edgar D. Mitchell.

Arc Beginning: If we continue without change and without growth in our basic thinking and behavior, we will, despite spectacular technological feats, eventually- end the evolutionary experiment known as man.

Arc Ending: My thinking-indeed, my consciousness-was altered profoundly. I came to feel a moral responsibility to pass on the transformative experience of seeing earth from the larger perspective.

Internal Journey: I knew well that analytic and logical thought, using objective data, could produce a technology that would reveal new secrets of the universe by probing the reaches of Space and, at the microscopic level, the structure of atoms.

External Journey: “In February 1971, I had the privilege of walking on the Moon as a member of the Apollo 14 lunar expedition.

During the voyage I made a test in extrasensory perception (ESP), attempting to send information telepathically to four receivers on earth.

Old Ways: When I went to the moon, I was as pragmatic a Test Pilot, Engineer, and Scientist as any of my colleagues. More than a quarter of a century had been spent in learning the empirical approach to dealing with the universe. Many times, my life has depended upon the validity of scientific principles and the reliability of the technology built upon those principles.

New Ways: But further, the rational man in me had to recognize the validity of the non-rational cognitive process.

End ΩmegaMan.
