The Survivors’ Wisdom © Abuse of Power is Child Abuse is Domestic Violence

War Is Abuse  Is War

The Survivors Knowledge

©Cali Lili™2014

Like Survivors of War,

Survivors of abuse,

Whether Emotional or Physical,

Instantly recognize the build-up,

Escalating tensions that lead to war.

From the Personal To the Political,

We lack that Extra Layer of Comfort,

Stripped Away,

As a Result of Experiences that none of us

Should ever need to claim.

Although garnered by pain,

There is a Survivor Strength

We Possess,

And a Wisdom,

HyperVigilance and Sensitivity,

Like an Alarm that awakens us

And Everybody in our midst.

DeMystify The Abuser as Terrorist Dictator  ;

The Chain of Human-KIND is STRONGER Than Our Weakest Links™

Domestic Abuse + ChildAbuse are Dictatorial Terrorism

In order to Demystify The Abuser

We Must Understand him and his Cronies

As Terrorist Operatives

His Need for Dictatorship as Mental Illness

The Victim’s Remedy is To End Tolerance For Pathology

©by Cali Lili™2014

Dear World,

It is time to Recognize, Understand,  and Remedy with Alacrity :  the very Simple Cause for Abusive Conditions under which so many innocent people suffer.

The Pathological Psychology of a Terrorist / Dictator is that of any other Common Bully, Emotional Abuser, Physical Abuser …

Please let us apply the Same Common Sense Remedies for  any other case of Abuse

The Same Remedies applied Upon receiving the Abused Family Members into a Safe House or Shelter can be applied globally

The Stakes are catastrophic if we neglect this Mental Wellness for : Our Global Family

At the very simplest psychological level – the solutions are so clear ….

Like any Culture or Group of People oppressed by The Dictator – the Family Members of an Abuser suffer unimaginably,  the daily agonies of tortures – …  both physical and psychological in nature

These agonies damage victims for generations …

Unhealing Wounds paid forward into the future … generation after generation …  scarring, savaging the humanities of us all as the wound becomes encoded genetically

In a never-ending cycle of misplaced tolerance for pathology.

Please let us End Our Tolerance for Pathology and Begin the Remedy with the very same Basic Common Sense used to protect an innocent child from the Pathology of her abuser.

If We Numb ourselves into delusive agreement with Toxic Apathies, lulling ourselves into the Oblivion of a Depressed World View that holds it impossible to end war, abuse, hate, torture … –  then what?

Then by abdication, we have accepted our own Demise through knowing and willful Sufferage of Pathology and Abuse

If we accept Such Sufferage for another, then by definition, we accept it for ourselves …

To see this truth –  is one step toward Global Mental Wellness and therefore – one step toward the remedy of a condition that literally plagues us

Global Mental Wellness Assures Global Physical Survival by our admission and acceptance of the Larger, Kinder and Most Practical Truth …

That Truth is of our Unlimited Potential … to counteract the equally unlimited pathologies of the Abuser …

Global Mental Wellness is vital to our survival and perhaps we ignore and discount it because most cultures do the same with individual Mental Wellness

Via Global Mental Wellness we will have access to these Remedies :

It is Possible to access our own Toxic Emotions as individuals and also as Cultures, Societies, States, Countries …

It is Possible for us all to Detoxify, Remedy, Improve, Heal our own Behaviours when we know we have crossed a line

It is Possible to Recognize Early Warning Signs of Impending Events via Understanding the Mechanism of Abuse and the Psychology of The Abuser

 … and

It is Possible and Necessary,

To Say “No” in the Very Earliest Stages of any impending Abusive Event,

It is Possible and Necessary,

To Say “No” most often with Non-Violence

It is Possible and Necessary,

To Say “No”

Whenever a Dictatorial, Abusive presence rears its ugly head across our own boundaries

It really is – Possible.

Now.

Right Now.

Sexism, Racism, Homophobia, Climate Denial and the other “iSMS” are tackled in Cali Lili’s eVe N’god this female is not yet rated ™ which launches DaysOfeVe™ one week theatrical release Feb 1 thru Feb 7 – three shows a day in Los Angeles at the Downtown Independent Cinema 251 S. Main Street Los Angeles CA ph. 213-617-1033


First-time director ActressAuteur™ Cali Lili’s fresh off the grid™ #HandMade LGBTQ interracial love story and climate-action-based gender debate eVe N’god this female is not yet rated ™ opens Feb 1, 2019 for a one week run through Feb 7, 2019.

https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/4069485

Tickets for the run will include a free download of the film’s soundtrack (while supplies last).


The allegorical, avant-garde fairytale is described as 1 day in the epiphany of a 21st century girl, who kissed a girl ™ A lost and found, edenic virginity fantasy bordering on polyamory, a bittersweet climate-change romance in the key of Rock N’ Soul and an immersive, sea-life sci-fi dream as the Global Girl awakens to the Legacy of Herself.
The all-female crew production from actress/director Cali Lili and her sustainable, up-cycled, movie and music studio in gentrification-torn Venice Beach Canals was shot throughout Venice with ocean-conservancy footage that includes a local octopus named Octavia and other sea-life, appearing unprompted for the lens during principal photography. Costumes and sets were designed by Cali and manufactured from at least 90% Up-cycled materials including fruits, vegetables and flowers supplied by farmers at the local farmers markets to help create the garden of eVe.


Movie co-stars the legendary Indie Spirits Award nominee, iconic actor/musician Wings Hauser in the lead male role, Doctor Godard / aka god, with Cali Lili as eVe, and Candace Burney as Lila. Certified on IMDB as Triple F-rated, meaning that it was written, directed and produced by a woman, making it one of the first (if not the first) narrative motion pictures made primarily by women.
The project originated, in part, as a response to Cali Lili’s own MeToo experiences and promotion of its all female on-the-set crew status, began during pre-production as far back as 2011 likely setting the current trend and weathering early discriminatory push-backs from various directions. This theatrical release is considered a milestone attained by such a small team, against all odds.


Description of the film as breaking the sound barrier, is reference to the lead female speaking over 51% of the film, and shattering narrative structures along with glass ceilings in a poetic, fluid, dream-like style in which music and sound play a role. Cali’s Signature style is described in her own writings as “HandMade2MakeADifference™ with ToyBoxTech™ “MinimalistMethodologies™ as described in her book “TheDeclarationOfIndiePenDance™ ” © It’s true that some of my work is informed by my own “MeToo” experiences in the industry, however, my point of view about it, leans more towards an examination of how sexism, racism, homophobia, climate denial and all the other “isms” have hurtled us toward this age of obscene economic injustice. 

Visually, Cali’s film is informed by certain painters and collage reflected in her lighting design, sets, costumes and editing. Additionally she sought to express her “sustainable economics” ethics by using 90% up-cycled materials in sets and costumes. Many of the materials came from donations by farmers at the local farmers’ market. Cali’s ” minimalism methodologies” are often described as ToyBoxTech™ HandMade2MakeADifference™  She work from her “up-cycled” green studio in Venice Beach, which was hand-built to remain in harmony with the ocean and wildlife surroundings. The “floating” nature of the Venice Canals is reflected in her work, where there is a sense of “float.”  


The story’s narrative is based on true-life events including a semi-autobiographical coming out story. Dedicated on-screen to victims of violence against women, LGBTQ persons, indigenous communities and the environment, dialogue centers on a surfer studying for her PHD in science, but who must work as a stripper to pay tuition and evolves into a debate involving the love-hate triangle between eVe as everywoman, Doctor Godard as University thesis advisor / white male authority figure, and Lila / aka Lilith as eVe’s black lesbian lover and spiritual twin. The Global Girl is described as a greek chorus in this modern-day re-telling of ancient secrets.
Born organically from a graphic novel, the project is equal parts cinematic exploration, love song, declaration of independence, and political protest on behalf of all vulnerable lives in the balance.
Songs on the soundtrack are described as sexy-smart protest-love-songs, thick with lyrics and percussion, Rock N’ Soul recorded with a diverse, inclusive group of professional live musicians, minimal synth. Cali’s Singer-Songwriter Style ranges from Feminist Rap / Soul Hip Hop to Anthemic guitar heavy Psychedelic Folk-Rock, to Femme-Punk and World-Beat Grooves.

13 song debut-album / soundtrack recently dropped, encouraging audiences to know the songs before seeing the movie, or get to know them afterwards, and is available on Apple iTunes and all other music platforms

Dedicated on-screen to victims of violence against women, LGBTQ persons and the environment – dialogue centers on a surfer studying for her PHD in science, but who must work as a stripper to pay tuition and evolves into a debate involving the love-hate triangle between “eVe” as “everywoman,” Doctor Godard as University thesis advisor / white male authority figure, and “Lila” / aka “Lilith” as eVe’s black lesbian lover and spiritual “twin.” The “Global Girl”  is described as a “greek chorus” in this modern-day re-telling of “ancient secrets.”  Born organically from a graphic novel, the project is equal parts cinematic exploration, love song, declaration of independence, and political protest on behalf of all vulnerable lives in the balance.     

Songs on the soundtrack are described as ” sexy-smart protest-love-songs, thick with lyrics and percussion, ‘Rock N’Soul recorded with a diverse, inclusive group of professional live musicians, minimal synth. Cali’s Singer-Songwriter Style ranges from Feminist Rap / Soul Hip Hop to Anthemic guitar heavy Psychedelic Folk-Rock, to Femme-Punk and World-Beat Grooves. 

The 13 song debut-album / soundtrack recently dropped, encouraging audiences to know the songs before seeing the movie, or get to know them afterwards, and is available on Apple iTunes and all other music platforms

#survival as an indie artist

can get thwarted by corporate #GateKeeperCulture

I am still a bit of a “runaway with a scholarship”

After surviving an abusive childhood then with the care of amazing #teachers who were angels – then earning my Master’s degree at a very young age ( I was skipped several grades + got accepted to college early so i didn’t get my #highschool diploma ) then bringing my projects to the halls of power in Hollywood – I realized that the best ideas are often stolen from the artist + handed to the 1%

So I decided to #BeTheChange

#WeThePeople are #endangered :

If corporations continue

2 run rampant –

all #SmallBiz

#SmallBusiness

#Individuals

(including the #lonewolf indie artist like me ) will become even more of an #endangeredspecies

Literally out of the ashes of #MeToo – I picked myself up with my #babysitting #yogateacher + #actress earnings + ‘with a little help from my friends’ … – I built my own tiny #sustainable #greenspace studio in harmony with BluePlanetGreenSpaces™

in order 2 make
