ABOUT US
- Pathway Beacons was established as a Creative Coalition dedicated to preserving and promoting our culture.
- We believe that human beings are inherently creative and social. With that in mind, we’ve taken a close look at today’s cultural landscape to gauge whether the current programming reflects those qualities. In our view, it often does not.
- For us preserving the culture means returning to the core purpose of art and aesthetics—to enrich society. At its most fundamental level, art should inspire and at its highest, enlighten.
- When the vast majority of today’s entertainment trends towards the depressing, the demoralizing and ultimately the degrading, we very likely have lost our way.

“…but this is not going to change… until you come to understand that we are part
of the creation and we have a responsibility as to what we create”.
“We need enlightenment… Isn’t that a message for our moving forward? How do
we access that enlightenment and nurture it and grow it in our
individual lives and our families and our communities?”
— Catherine Austin Fitts —
Mentorship Program
- Pathway Beacons sponsors a 24 month mentorship program designed to develop emerging artists in the craft of screenwriting.
- The program (see program chart below) consists of 12 individuals trained to write premises, breakdowns and full screenplays in 9, 18 and 27 minute format.
- The program is highly collaborative. Participants develop premises and screenplays as a group, with a mentor acting as Chief Editor. Guidance from an experienced editor supports the process, with the goal of publishing short stories beginning in week 18.
- One of the program’s primary goals is to create a community of readers who evaluate and rate the screenplays. The highest-rated stories are then “optioned” and brought to our producing partners and allies.
*Screenplay option: see definition below.
Other things to consider
- Neither mentor nor mentee receive direct financial compensation during the program.
- The tools and information provided in this program have an approximate market value ranging from a couple of thousand to several thousand dollars.
- Participants receive training at no cost, yet they are expected to have access to a computer, to own professional screenwriting software and attend virtual sessions of at least nine hours a week.
- Admission to the program is strictly meritocratic. The right to participate in the program cannot be bought or be transferred.
- If and when the producing rights to a screenplay are optioned or bought, Mentees who participate will be proportionally compensated. **Certain legal restrictions apply.
- Screenplay option definition: An amount, (usually 10% of the cost of full rights) paid by a Producer to a Writer to have the exclusive rights to shop the screenplay around without any other competing entities doing so. When the period stated runs out the Producer either buys the rights for a pre-stated amount or passes and the Writer(s) keep the non-refundable payment.

Principles
- We keep an apolitical, non-religious and meritocratic space dedicated to developing socially-conscious stories grounded in universal truths.
- We view writing as a discipline of endurance. Excellence is achieved through persistence— through the continuous refinement of structure, character development and plot construction, which together constitute the pillars of storytelling.
- As artists we carry the responsibility to create stories that elevate the human spirit. This is not done by avoiding darkness, but by integrating it— transforming complexity into meaning in order to engage and inspire.
- Each creative decision is measured by its clarity, honesty and genuine impact on those who read or watch our stories.
Current fictional offerings
What is missing?
- It is undeniable that many of today’s productions are driven by talented individuals.
- Yet a question remains: why do so many stories fail to truly elevate their audience?
- If there is one essential element missing in entertainment today, what might that be?
“
For me, all good stories are about awareness.
Self-awareness and lack of it.

Challenges
- An uncomfortable truth is that limitations in discipline, critical thinking and self-awareness can lead to ambitious ideas without the foundation required to realize them—especially in a craft as demanding as storytelling.
- Additionally, the misuse of technology—treated as a substitute for insight rather than a tool, presents a significant challenge. In the task of conceiving screenplays with rich concepts and sound dramatic structures, tools can help, but will never be a substitute for self-awareness.
- In practical terms, screenwriting calls for both analytical precision and acute artistic sensibility—the mind of an engineer paired with the perception of an artist.
- Our mentorship program is designed to address these challenges, helping participants develop a balanced foundation of intellect, confidence and social responsibility.
- Humans on Midgard Earth need a place to heal and rebuild.
- Operating upon these low vibrational frequencies places the spirit and the vessel in need of urgent repair.
- No one can build this place for the Human Race.
- Part of the healing will come from the individual participation and group collaboration in the building of said place. (Nicolai Levashov).
- There, both the individual and collective PSI-Fields* will give Humans the long awaited chance to raise to higher frequencies. (Nicolai Levashov) *Psi-field explained in Levashov’s writings.
