I always liked Jim Carrey, and i am proud to know he is a Canadian.

I admired him when he talked about his DMT experience and other such altered stated of consciousness.

Good to see that he is creating greater love in the universe with his presence.
Thank you Jim. :thumb: for your energy in contributing more towards the solution rather than to adding to more of the problem. :o





Comedic genius Jim Carrey is one of the world’s biggest names in entertainment, having starred in films like Liar, Liar, Bruce Almighty and won Golden Globes for Man on the Moon and The Truman Show. Now, add children’s book author to his varied list of credits.

His self-published book, "How Roland Rolls," about a young ocean wave who is afraid of hitting the shore, will be available on book shelves and e-readers September 24.

The 68-pages, beautifully illustrated by animator R. C. Nason, are meant for children ages 4-8. Carrey wanted to help them feel safe and not so alone by offering them the notion that all life is interconnected. He uses the familiar metaphor of a wave as part the ocean, not separate from it -- being an individual, but also part of something greater.

“When I was a child,” Carrey said, “my parents were smokers and I had a deep fear that they would pass … and then what would happen to me? I think that’s a common fear for children – the fear of loss. But when we realize that beneath the surface we are all connected, that fear of loss gets softened. At least that’s been true for me.”
The beginnings of Roland the wave as a character goes back years to when Carrey first arrived in Los Angeles. He spent a lot of time on the beach in Malibu, watching the waves.

In Roland's case, when he looks at what's under the water, down deep, he’s struck by the notion that he’s not just a wave — he’s the whole big, wide ocean.

How Roland Rolls is a story about a wave named Roland who’s afraid that, one day, when he hits the beach, his life will be over. But when he gets deep, he’s struck by the notion that he’s not just a wave — he’s the whole big, wide ocean!

Neat, I like Jim Carrey more as an individual than as an actor. Some people I know who met him told me he is very impressive as a person, much more than on screen.
