Red Throne is a film about the physics of Karma. Its inviolable cosmic law and the many ways in which it ordains our current lives and actions and, in particular, the way in which it allows through our own desires, will and actions, to control our future lives and destinies.

All the great philosophies of the east assert that Karma is the cosmic law par excellence. What they do not tell us (except in their often highly technical and mostly still inaccessible treatise to the west) is the remarkable ways of infinite subtlety and vastly long term ways (compared with the average life span) in which this hidden law works.

It has been said that if every man and woman in the world truly believed in Karma, very soon the world would experience true bliss. Unfortunately, as we all too readily know, we currently in general do not with all the subsequent results, for the law of Karma is essentially like all great laws, extremely simple. As it states "As you do unto others, so shall be done unto you."

In an age where man kills man and even worse, no true love or spirituality sustains the whole, such an age we live in now and have done for the past twenty thousand years.

Consciousness in movement in time, Karma is the power with purpose that unfolds the infinities of consciousness through its cosmic law. Innately we all know these laws within, but we equally all obligingly forget them the minute our own individual ego screams "I want that", I will have that to satisfy my desire, never ever stopping for a moment to think - what is desire itself.

"Do what thou wilt, has indeed in the vast majority, become the whole of the law."

The laws of karma are eternal. "Consciousness is eternal" and gives birth to all the infinity of worlds, its plants suns and galaxies, universes and creatures that inhabit them, one of which is man, appropriately originally named "Hound Erectus".

"Hound Erectus" has come a long way in refining the nature and satisfaction of his primal desires and yet they still for many remain very dark indeed. 'Man' as he now likes to call himself still has a very long way to go before becoming a true solar being.

This is basically because he no longer follows the law of Karma but instead follows only the immediate satisfaction of his most crude and petty desires experienced through the vehicles of sex, money, power, drugs, murder, torture and sadistic domination.

Few indeed have ever carried the 'philosophy of the false self' further than the infamous Marquis de Sade whose very name gave birth to the word sadism i.e. the inflicting of pain upon others for self gratification and sexual pleasure through a love of cruelty. De Sade's desires were so strong, he had absolutely no control over them whatsoever.

De Sade is unique in the field of sexual excess and aberration, not simply because he applied his very considerable psychoanalytic and literary abilities to the study and chronologising of all manner of sadistic excess but because he allowed his desires absolutely no limits through imagination, the more of which he fed the more it grew until he truly became a mental monster.

No-one has ever put his case more succinctly or tersely than Pisanus Fraxi (1880) who states, "De Sade was one of the most extraordinary men who have every lived and a very interesting subject for a psychological study. Nature has produced some strange abortions both physical and mental but probably never a greater mental monster than De Sade."

Red Throne is a film that aims to show De Sade was entirely wrong in his assumption that there are those who are born as victims and those who are born to 'do as they will' to whom ever they will. Red Throne shows us that through the eternal continuance of karmic law, through thousand upon thousand of lives, lived here and on other planets, we gradually come to learn through much pain and suffering, that truly 'that which we do unto others will one day be done unto us' be it either good or bad and with such exquisite exactitude irony and nemesis that, finally, even the dullest of minds begins to get the message that the universal law of karma has been designed not for our eternal internment in the human meat cage but for our souls true liberation through the exercise of love and wisdom and the final realisation that we all indeed are one.

In Red Throne, Didi La Bas, as the reincarnated De Sade, initially appears to overcome his karmic due albeit by the skin of his / her teeth.

In order to show just how easy it is for us (once the horrors of initial karmic retribution have been repaid) to be immediately once again swept up and away upon the ever flowing oceanic tides and waves of our ephemeral egotistic desires that at the time and moment of desires forgetfulness, take us over so completely that, indeed nothing else exists. The mind is flooded, filled and bursting to the brim with that desire that above all else in the world must be satisfied completely.

The question at this time is never posed, what next, what can I fill this rushing vacuum with that's racing in to fill me with its emptiness and longing? As I fall back sated, lingering upon the brink of eternal anticipation, already waiting in half-dream like agitation for the next desire to come. As De Sade himself so purely stated his case, "Kill me again or take me as I am, for I shall not change."

De Sade could say this simply because he had not yet suffered enough to learn the truth. The light had not yet dawned. The ghost shall flesh, desire is all, that was his world and his truth for as a man sees so he is, and where his dreams and desires lie, there will you find him.

The external play of consciousness goes on with or without realisation of the final truth that it is one and ever pure.
