Holy Mountain - 1973 - Alexandro Jodorowsky

To want, To know, To dare, To be silent

...

These nine people are thieves just like you but on another level, powerful industrialists and politicians:

1. Venus [to care about the human body]: everyone wanting to be loved not for who they are but for the mask they wear.
2. Mars [to manufacture and sell weapons]: deadly bacteria, bombs, carcinogens, etc.
3. Jupiter [to make machines]:  electronic orgasm
4. Saturn [to manufacture war toys]: customers are children and clients are the government
5. Uranus ...
6. Pluto [to make buildings]:
7.
8.
9.
...

There are many Holy mountains but the legend is always the same.
There are nine men who live on top of the mountain who have gained immortality. I know where the immortals live and how to obtain their secrets. The Holy mountain of Lotus Island.
But to find the secret of wise men, we too need to become wise.
With the correct formula, any human being can be enlightened.
The immortals are a group, in order to become them, we need to cease being individual human beings and operate in a group.
When the self concept reigns [this is mine], then the greater self consisting of all of us ceases to exist. Burn the self image and you shall enter one step higher on the step of love and wisdom.
...

Plants are the humble guardian of the secret.
The flower knows, you don't need to ask it. Delicate scent of flowers is the blood in our veins.
Together we form the flower in search of the secret water, to make human flesh.
How many are you? We are one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. We are nine.

The ceremony of death: return what was loaned to you. Give up your family, your pains, you pleasures, your desires, your hates. You will know nothingness, don't be scared, you are not alone. Give up to the grave, you started from there. You will be reborn. Surrender. Possession is the ultimate pain.

...

It's a great movie, director and actors on LSD. Must watch.
