Are these videos crazy or are the Fools leading us to look outside the box. We are in times where we must see differently in order to see clearly.
Charlie Chaplin: Live by Happiness
Charlie Chaplin is the first and most famous clown fool.
The mirror or the maze of life. Perhaps this is the modern dilemma? The power of imagination.
Clowns do not want to rule but prefer to help one another. Live by happiness not misery. This Fool is dressed as the dictator Hitler predicting our future. The unloved hate. He says ‘let us all unite’. Wise words from a fool.

Patch Adams: Laughter and Healing
Patch Adams Movie
Susan Carew-Holmes travelled to Russia with Patch Adams to learn about learning unconditional love by a small group of people who can’t speak the same language. Love and laughter is a universal language.
Patch Adams was played Robin Williams in the Hollywood movie. Is medicine training the humanity out of people? Is it all about the money or is it about healing. Do we treat the disease or the people? Laughter distracts from pain, generating hope and quality of life. The real disease is greed and fear.
Patch’s website: https://www.patchadams.org/
Patch says: He went to 120 countries. Nowhere are hospitals happy in the world…all over the world there is a deep sadness of no time with patients… And all this time he thought by having good ideas we’d be funded. They had eliminated 90% the cost of health care… make same salary. Why? Working for money or love? Concern about the future of humanity need another way of living. There are issues with survival as a species.
Patch Adams says health and health care is a human right for all people. Patch is a whole systems thinker. Patch didn’t charge money and created loving community and had a vision to build a free hospital. The ideal patient/doctor relationship was found in a deep personal friendship. Patch saw healing as intimacy and truly caring about patients, he would spend up to 4 hours with each patient getting to know them. He said most didn’t have self esteem or day to day vitality. No-one was pro-active for their health. Patch brought the art of ‘clowning’ into health care creating the first clown doctors. He integrated all healing arts in his mode of healing. He teaches compassion. University of Peru started the first course.
His law is ‘what do the patients need‘. This is called complementary care. He said he did not receive a donation in 12 years so they worked outside jobs to pay for his hospital. The unencumbered practice of “care” is a ecstatic experience. This is the true nature of giving.
Patch Adams ‘I love me’, ‘yes I can’

Patch Adams Public Speaking at the Transform Conference
Patch speaks at the Transform conference sponsored by the Mayo Clinic, my hope is they are listening. He answers all mail and everyone is his friend. He never charged money for healthcare. He created community. Happiness! Australia will not be charging money. The economic system is based on friendship and shared skills. Got to give aging a good vibration.
He says staff were happy funny, loving, cooperative and thoughtful. They were the degrees he was looking for. The health of the care giver is as important as patients. Atmosphere of tenderness and sweetness was created which is perfect for healing.

Into the Wild: The Christopher McCandless Story
Into the Wild is a 2007 American biographical adventure drama film written, co-produced, and directed by Sean Penn. It is an adaptation of the 1996 non-fiction book of the same name written by Jon Krakauer and tells the story of Christopher McCandless (“Alexander Supertramp“), a man who hiked across North America into the Alaskan wilderness in the early 1990s. The film stars Emile Hirsch as McCandless, Marcia Gay Harden as his mother, William Hurt as his father, Jena Malone, Catherine Keener, Brian H. Dierker, Vince Vaughn, Kristen Stewart, and Hal Holbrook.
our months later, at the abandoned bus, life for McCandless becomes harder, and he makes several poor decisions. Trying to live off the land, he hunts down a large moose with his rifle, but cannot preserve the meat and it spoils within days. As his supplies dwindle, he realizes that nature can be harsh.
McCandless concludes that true happiness can be found only when shared with others, and he seeks to return from the wild to his friends and family. However, he finds that the stream he crossed during the winter has become wide, deep, and violent due to the thaw, and he is unable to cross. Defeated, he returns to the bus.
In a desperate act, McCandless gathers and eats roots and plants. He confuses similar plants and eats a poisonous one, falling sick as a result. Slowly dying, he continues to document his process of self-realization, and imagines what it might have been like if he had managed to return to his family. He writes a farewell note to the world and crawls into his sleeping bag to die.
Two weeks later, moose hunters find his body. Shortly afterwards, Carine returns to Virginia with her brother’s ashes in her backpack.
Movie: Men that Stare at Goats
This film is inspired by Jon Ronson’s Book The Men Who Stare At Goats, it is based on a true story. The characters Lynn Cassady played by George Clooney and Bill Django played by Jeff Bridges are based on actual soldiers, Sergeant Glenn Wheaton and Colonel Jim Channon.
What Bill Django (Jim Channon) realised was ‘the gentleness is the strength’. This was a profound message to the military if peace is the objective.

Buckminster Fuller: Earth Ships
Richard Buckminster Fuller (/ˈfʊlər/; July 12, 1895 – July 1, 1983)[1] was an American architect, systems theorist, writer, designer, inventor, philosopher, and futurist. He styled his name as R. Buckminster Fuller in his writings, publishing more than 30 books and coining or popularizing such terms as “Spaceship Earth“, “Dymaxion” (e.g., Dymaxion house, Dymaxion car, Dymaxion map), “ephemeralization“, “synergetics“, and “tensegrity“.
Fuller developed numerous inventions, mainly architectural designs, and popularized the widely known geodesic dome; carbon molecules known as fullerenes were later named by scientists for their structural and mathematical resemblance to geodesic spheres. He also served as the second World President of Mensa International from 1974 to 1983.
The wisdom of Buckminster Fuller still unrealised today as the same model is being used over and over but doesn’t work. Greed does not work…
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
Buckminster Fuller at MIT – Spaceship Earth – 1979
Dynamo: Magical Alchemy
Steven Frayne, better known by his stage name Dynamo, is a British magician born in Bradford, West Yorkshire.
In 2003, before Frayne created and filmed Dynamo: Magician Impossible, the Prince’s Trust gave him a loan which allowed him to start his business and invest in camera equipment.[7] Frayne left his hometown of Bradford, Yorkshire, to move to London in 2004 to begin developing his career in magic.[8][9] His plan was to create the first ever ‘magic mix-tape’,[10] where he set out with a small team to film his performances on the streets of London and backstage at events. In a year, Frayne had performed magic to talent including Coldplay, Gwyneth Paltrow, Snoop Dogg and more,[11] and quickly developed a fan-base after posting the clips on YouTube.[8]
Frayne first appeared on TV as Dynamo on Channel 4’s Richard & Judy, where the general public and television executives quickly noticed his kind-hearted and loveable attitude. Dynamo has opened up about losing his grandma and how it motivated it to take on his ‘most dangerous’ magic trick. The magician, 40, whose real name is Steven Frayne, is returning to TV screens for the first time since 2020, with a new one-off show, titled Dynamo Is Dead. The programme will lift the lid on the magic star’s mental health struggles, and is also set to involve a live segment where he will be buried under five tonnes of soil.
Susan saw Dynamo live in Melbourne in 2016 on his Seeing is Believing tour. He appeared to be an alchemist not a magician. In other words he was creating real magic. The illusion is in what we believe and then see. To see and then believe perhaps is the alchemists way.
The wisdom he taught the world: Nothing Is Impossible
Dynamo speaks of his own child like sense of wonder! As a magician seeing (the impossible) is believing (it is possible). Dynamo believes people need magic to bring hope and magic into their lives. He used it to overcome abuse. Susan went to his show in Melbourne in 2016. It appeared to be alchemy.
Akiane ‘Painting the Impossible’
kiane Kramarik (/əˈkiːənə/;[2] born July 9, 1994)[3] is an American poet and painter. She began drawing at the age of four.[4] Kramarik’s best-known painting is Prince of Peace,[5] which she completed at the age of eight.
Akiane Kramarik was born on July 9, 1994, in Mount Morris, Illinois, to a Lithuanian mother and a non-practicing Catholic American father.[6] Kramarik professed she saw the face of Jesus Christ in her visions. Her education began at a parochial school, but she was later homeschooled.[4] Regarding her influences and motivation, she states:
Religious art of sculptures, reliefs and paintings in one of the parochial schools I attended greatly influenced my later attraction to legendary figures. For the first time I got to encounter the world’s view of what divinity was supposed to be, but deep down I felt that I perceived everything in a much broader and deeper sense. It appeared to me as if most people were completely ignorant of other realities, or that the realities they perceived were seen only from a very narrow angle
A child prodigy painting the impossible. This is her incredible story.
