Kevin Costner Acting in his hit movie, “Dances with Wolves.”
Kevin Costner’s Acting: Does his success come from acting or more from Fame Karma? Your thoughts!
First of All, This Is an Aura Reading Movie Review
Easy-peasy, if you’d like to learn more: Exactly what’s involved, technically, doing this kind of comparison aura reading? Moreover, what are chakra databanks? Simply click on the link just provided. You can learn a lot. And learn it fast.
Just in case you’re wondering, this article is a spinoff of sorts. That is, a couple of weeks ago I blogged about “Fame Karma of Claire Danes.”
Of course, this new topic — Fame Karma — led to a lot of comments. By now we’ve got 600+. Of course, that’s only at my main blog, not in spinoff blogging at Goodreads and Medium.
Just for fun, I thought I’d give you’all a quick peek at this kind of research. Exotic, yes. But maybe also with a High Truth Value. (Due to quality skills for using energetic literacy.)
When Does Acting Success Come from Quality Acting?
Alternatively Could the Main Factor Be Having Fame Karma?
Basically, what you’ll find below is an excerpt from today’s research on Kevin Costner. Comments #617-643: For our Flash Contest at this post… KATIE HART nominated Kevin Costner. Which movie still will I use for the research?
I’ve settled upon “Dances with Wolves.” Costner put everything he had into this 1990 American epic western film. He starred, directed, and produced it. (In fact, this was his feature directorial debut.)
According to Wikipedia, hello! This film earned favorable reviews from critics and audiences, who praised:
- Costner’s directing
- The performances
- The screenplay
- And the score
- Cinematography
- And production values.
- It was a box office hit, grossing $424.2 million worldwide. Making it the fourth-highest grossing film of 1990.
Maybe Understandably, in the Light of the Following Research…
Notice what’s missing from that praise list?
Critics “praised Costner’s directing, the performances, screenplay, score, cinematography, and production values.” Not his acting. Hmmmm.
Nuts and Bolts in Order to Do this Research
For a photograph of Kevin Costner just being himself, I’ve found us a photo of him in 1990 .(Exactly the same year that “Dances with Wolves” was released.)
Regarding Kevin in his movie role, starring in “Dances with Wolves” — click on that last link and you’ll see a screenshot.
Keep in mind, chakra databanks reveal what’s happening subconsciously and energetically. Not consciously.
Now let our research begin.
Kevin Costner as Himself
1. Root Chakra Databank for Connection to Objective Reality
Symbolic Size
2 inches (Close to shut down)
Quality
“Feed me.” One more famous star with fame incentive to not eat enough.
Take a good look at him in this photo! And you might definitely wish to click on that link just provided, about the Anorexic Ideal.
Also, Kevin’s way of connecting to objective reality is, by now, all about being a “star.” (At least at the time of this photo.) In particular, this “star”ness makes him:
- So powerful
- So sexy

2. Solar Plexus Chakra Databank for Sense of Self
Symbolic Size
5,000 feet. (Considerably overfunctioning)
Quality
No longer being just a person. From now on, being a “star.”

Quality
Kevin’s exciting sense that emotionally he is growing SOOOOO FAST…
Next Comes our Comparison Aura Reading
Same three chakra databanks, only now I’m researching Kevin’s movie performance.

Symbolic Size

Quality
Telling himself to be achingly tender. Affirming that he must project being a heartthrob, passionate yet vulnerable.
Wow, sounds like Fame Karma.
How about that? So far, OSCAR, as I learn about Fame Karma I’m noticing three telltale aura-level probs:
1. The celebrity is kind of drunk on all the fame. (Understandable, to me, since imo fame is the most addictive drug on the planet.)
Note: To me, in that photo I used to research Kevin as a person — not acting — he looks drunk to me.
Only I checked his aura for alcoholic intoxication and didn’t find it.
Seems to me, he’s drunk on the fame. Straight up fame.
2. The celeb does a really poor job of acting.
Noticeably lacking in doing the inner components of creating and expressing a different Earth personality than the performer.
3. Pursuing the Anorexic Ideal is a distinct possibility.
As revealed in some of in Claire Danes’s and Kevin Costner’s Root Chakra Databanks.
Julia Roberts evidently didn’t have to diet to the point of pain. Not in order to attain the requisite thinness.
Of course, she was still young at the time of the photo used for her research for the Flash Contest at the Claire Danes blogpost.
When it comes to the anorexic ideal, it’s interesting to have this pointed out in a man. It has long been a problem with men as well, hasn’t it?
With both Fame Karma and the Anorexic Ideal / famous people starving themselves, every time you write about it Rose, I get it even more, I see it more clearly.
Indeed, OSCAR MANUEL. Most of us benefit from a lot of reminders about the Anorexic Ideal.
On any given day, we see ads and article photos and streaming entertainment, all of which show a steady parade of people who look “good” because they’re way too thin.
Novelist Tom Wolfe put it well in “The Bonfire of the Vanities.” People who look good due to being “starved to near-perfection.”
Also, thank you OSCAR MANUEL, and thanks to all you others who’ve been part of our recent Comment Conversations. At the rate we’re going, we’ll reach a new comment milestone within a week.
What you said in Comment #3 is so interesting, Rose. About Kevin Costner looking drunk to you, and it turning out he was drunk on fame.
I reopened the picture and I see what you mean.
Interesting. Thanks, OSCAR MANUEL.
I had no idea men were already pursuing the anorexic ideal in the 90s. I had thought it was more recent for men.
That fact helps me appreciate how prevalent it really is.
I find it strange that the goal is to look like peasants, skinny and tan.
I learned about this project some time ago.
The photoshopped ones look strange to me.

HOLLY, how fascinating that one way to view the Anorexic Ideal is that it approximates looking like peasants, skinny and tan!
Fascinating, but I’m not sure I agree. Peasants don’t have perfect hair or facelifts.
Incidentally, I appreciate the other part of your Comment #15. Only I’m not sure the link you supplied takes one to a project, etc.
Perhaps you might double check that, maybe supply a different link — because now I’m curious. Also, please summarize for us what this project is supposed to be about, if you would.
I remember how flat this movie left me, after enduring all the puffery and hype about how significant it was supposed to be.
To me, Costner being drunk on Fame Karma, also explains his having the gall to make a 3 hour mainstream movie in 1990.
I have long held him responsible for popularising this kind of self-indulgent filmmaking.
Now, bloated three hour films are everywhere.
It feels to me like well-edited movies that clock at a tight 85 minutes have become a rarity.
Also, how drunk on your own importance can you be, to make a film about Lakota people – but put your white man self front and center in it?
Yes indeed. Especially that Comment #21!
Thank you so much, THEODORE.
Also I like the picture at the top of this article, very appropriate :-)
:)
This is so interesting, Rose, thank you.
This actor is someone whose name I had sometimes heard of, but never seen in movies and would never have known his face.
It’s so interesting to read about someone who has fame karma who has escaped being one the famous people I personally know about.
To me at the surface level, he has a very bland, Everyman look to him.
After reading Oscar’s comment I went back to the photo and I also get that sense of him being drunk. Fascinating.
Thanks for all your observations. Regarding your Comment #27, because I use the system of Face Reading Secrets®, personally I would never make a comment about someone having “a very bland, Everyman look to him.”
No need to start stereotyping anybody’s “look,” in my view. Although how we see faces can definitely be influenced by all the stereotyping in pop culture.
JONATHAN, your Comment #26 is especially interesting, since it reminds me of the need to clarify what Fame Karma is, versus what I don’t think it is at all.
Fame Karma simply means that it’s easier for a person to become famous, compared to the rest of us.
Fame Karma doesn’t necessarily mean Household Name Karma.
Many factors are at work, including the degree of Fame Karma the person has. Another factor is whether the famous person develops more skills and effectiveness at doing whatever that fame job (like acting) might be.
So thanks, JONATHAN, for a set of comments that was very thought-provoking to me.
Anna Giordano photoshopped Renaissance paintings, replacing the original with a skinnier version of the woman.
For each pair, the left one is the original and right one is photoshopped. Use your mouse or trackpad to scroll to the right. There are ten sets total.
About the peasant thing, I was thinking of the body.
Forgot about the face. And the breast implants. And the butt implants.
HOLLY, Aha! and thank you. This part started a LOL:
“I was thinking of the body.
Forgot about the face. And the breast implants. And the butt implants.”
Thank you, Rose, for your Comments #29-32. I see now that of course that’s stereotyping, thank you.
JONATHAN, you’re welcome. Seems to me, every time we root out a new stereotype (attractively nestled like a winsome weed along with a plant that we’ve chosen to have in our garden), the better.
At least, assuming we aim to grow a Garden of Truth.
Dear ROSE, thank you for fleshing out this nomination of Kevin Costner. I find it interesting how he talks to himself about how he “must” appear, when it comes to projecting himself as a heartthrob.
It isn’t a very nice way to speak to yourself, and it doesn’t seem to help his acting.
KATIE HART, thanks for this Comment #38, and also for the rest of the series in this latest set of ideas.
I’m breaking the flow temporarily in order to take advantage of a teachable moment; one that may bring clarity to other Blog-Buddies, especially those of you who are fairly new to Aura Reading Movie Research.
Not so relevant: “It isn’t a very nice way to speak to yourself.”
Let’s remember, chakra databanks reveal what is happening SUBCONSCIOUSLY and energetically, not something a person does CONSCIOUSLY — like “speak to himself.”
On the other hand, yes to “it doesn’t seem to help his acting.”
Actually, you’re close to what I was attempting to communicate, close but not quite there.
If you’d like to open up your understanding of what “good acting” can be, might I suggest? Open up Aura Reading Movie Reviews 100+. Start reading different ones.
Overall, what will you find?
Superb actors, like Meryl Streep (at least, superb before she moved into Extreme Spiritual Addiction)…
Superb actors change all the way down to the level of their chakra databanks. They aren’t like themselves any longer, not while in the movie role.
The greatest actors purposely make creative choices, developing a character who is interesting: Maybe contradictory at different aspects of life (which would show in chakra databanks).
Consequently, that acted character is INTERESTING at aura level. Akin to how plenty of wannabe authors can create a character just like themselves… and call it “fiction.”
But better authors create characters who are somewhat unlike themselves.
And even better authors create characters who are INTERESTING.
By contrast, what do I find when doing Aura Reading Movie Research about performances that suggest to me: Acting skill is really-really lacking?
What is bad acting, from the perspective of Aura Reading Movie Research?
1. The actor doesn’t change at the level of chakra databanks.
2. Nor does that actor inwardly even enter into the role being portrayed.
3. Instead, subconsciously and energetically, the actor is quite self-conscious.
4. And inwardly that actor is trying to seem a certain way, as an actor. In short, the performance is all about the actor seeking admiration, etc.
Examples are:
* Energy Spirituality Blog research on “Kevin Costner Acting in ‘Dances with Wolves.’”
* Energy Spirituality Blog research on Claire Danes acting on TV in Homeland
* Energy Spirituality Blog research on Timothee Chalamet acting in “Call Me By My Name”
* Energy Spirituality Blog research on Julia Roberts acting in “Pretty Woman.”
All of these big stars could be lovely people.
As an Enlightenment Teacher I’d say that, for sure, every one of these stars has FAME KARMA.
They’re just not much as actors.
HIs acting in this movie is not about developing a character, but is, as you write, “telling himself” and “affirming” his manliness, vulnerability, stardom, sex-appeal:
How can he or anyone grow emotionally when we are asking ourself to project only what we believe we want others to see in us (or believe they want to see in us – like anorexic ideal and the vulnerability that comes with being chronically underfed) ?
What is involved in this sort of projection? Is this all about generating Fame and money? Is being a heart-throb more lucrative than working on acting skills?
Is Fame a synonym for invulnerability?
What did we buy in this movie? It makes me want to be a more discerning consumer of entertainment, for sure.
Thanks again, KATIE HART, for all your reactions in these comments.
I’m learning so much about what fame could do to a person. It seems as addictive as fame could be, it’s still up to the individual to choose how to handle it.
One famous person could be born with fame karma, and still choose to learn new skills and grow as a person.
Or as we have seen in these latest few examples, fame could be enough as itself.
So many interesting discoveries, Rose. Thank you!
Sage observations here, HENRY!
And, for sure, you’re welcome.
