Re-Finding...
Often when we think of "Finding" something "again" we often think that something has been lost or misplaced. This association often has objective or physical implications. That is: "I lost my box with the key in it" or "I lost the last paperclip!" However, there is a much more intrinsic misplacing of the self which does indeed at times arise. When the statement, "I want to go find myself" is made--what is it that is spoken of? The self--in the physical sense--is the very same self speaking... what is there to find? There is much more to our world than those things which we are able to tangibly feel, sense or see. There is the matter of the unseen heart. An intrinsic desire to feel "full" and "satisfied" beyond what may be attained from the world around us.
<Image>
How is it that some of us seek a portion of ourselves when we are physically whole? How is it that some experiences feel to "complete" portions of us once unfound? What are some of the answers we seek in the paths we select to place our lives upon? What is the true motivation and drive that continues to inspire us each to redefine our very existence... sometimes... on a daily or twice-daily basis? Are we "more" because we are perceived as "greater?" Are we less because we feel "unmeasured" to those standards which those things we see and feel through experience?
Only we may define our own answers for it is the individual who defines her and his own reason. His and her own questions. And through this process of continued "reincarnation" we learn new pieces and parts of our individual souls--intrinsic driving forces in a world of continued existence which continues to re-find, redefine, reassure and re-ignite our very own fundamental desires to solidify what essentially drives us towards our Loves, Lives, Purposes, Values, Ethics, Goals...
And far beyond...
<Image>
Re-birthed.
After we find that which it is we seek during our life journeys [at least at the time] we may feel as if "a new person" in the "same body." Some speak of being once again able to do things which were not done much thanks to the removal of previous mental barriers. Others overcome hurdles some of us may recognize as tangible or physical barriers. And yet others--find the self through experience which nurtures the soul and influences further progression of mind, body and spirit. Whatever the circumstance may be--to feel "re-enabled" or "re-born" as the phoenix--twice as strong as before, soul and goals amplified times ten--but down a new path in a body known.
Through trial and error. Through joy and pain. Through experience and naivety... we each learn pieces of ourselves which we had not once known before during "re-finding." Once what we seek has been found we arrive at the point in which we may feel we are completely remade. Completely "Reborn" as the same person with brighter wings and a stronger sense of self. What we see in our tangible world is nothing less than reflections of intrinsic changes within the self.
It is not what is done that is so important as what it is that is done represents to the self and soul.
A "Brand New You" for the better -- a more satisfied and positive perception of self -- is found. This "finding" however does not take place without first seeking. One does not seek if there is no feeling that "something is missing." And if there is no seeking... and there is no finding... then what story is there to tell? What adventure is there to be learned from? What experience is there to be gained? Becoming "Re-birthed" only takes place through actual experience.

Reincarnation!
Simply looking at the earth around us we should see that reshaping is re-rendering ourselves in our universe is simply a natural flow of what takes place. From the scientific discoveries of water on mars and our fantasy which floats freely -- much like Alice In Wonderland and tales of actual sacrifice -- stories re-told and relived in different medians with different names -- it is natural for re-definition to take place after re-defining guides to re-birth solidified tangibly in reincarnation.
There is no substitute for the experiences we each learn from. There is no reflection greater than what we sense through what we feel and share through what we do. After all--we are each but coagulations of our subconscious thoughts brought into physical manifestation by the free will of our collective minds and hearts. We each are our own "incarnations" of the "reincarnations" we take into ourselves through experience as our souls continue to travel the path of Existence.
Reincarnation is not necessarily "what takes place after death" or "one person as another person" or "one thing transforming from one form to another" -- reincarnation is the process of redefinition.
Be that physically, intangibly, intrinsically or within our tangible world--the process... is part of the very soul.

The World Without Sora O.O
(OVA2 - Legend of Phoenix)
Past Presence -- NOW!
Layla Hamilton once found motivation in a person she had initially wished to see fail. Sora Naegino even at this time in Layla's life still resembles to her initially "An Equal." Although for the very first time in her career--Layla is not chosen for a Kaleido Stage production [Swan Lake] much thanks to Sora--Layla comes to find purpose in and respect Sora Naegino. A young country girl from a foreign country who for all practical reasons--should be nothing more than a hurdle for her to jump then continue on-down-path. However--now that Layla is no longer performing at Kaleido Stage she seeks to redefine her public image as well as her intrinsic self. Unable to "find her phoenix"
[a character she is to portray in an upcoming stage play] is an allegorical object -- an indecisiveness she feels within.
By taking a journey on a whim [without sharing where she is going--for she does not even know this herself] Layla Hamilton begins to seek another median of further growing. Meanwhile, Sora equally is seeking to find what she fears to lack in her performance of the Kaleido Stage production of a similar storyline Cathy Taymor has decided to present Layla in. Coincidence? What is found are the potential reasons why it is that Layla had previously further found herself through her rivalry with Sora. We slowly learn that what Layla saw in Layla before exiting Kaleido Stage -- was not a rivalry at all with Sora Naegino--but rather rivalry with a portion of herself she once desired to run from. Would Layla have revisited what she had sealed un-revealed even to herself at this point-in-time had not Kaleido Stage ever accepted a Sora Naegino?
Sora No Show Equals No Go
[As We Know =3]
Had not Sora Naegino arrived at the point-in-time that she did it is very unlikely that Layla would have ever met Cathy Taymor to begin with. An injury lead to Layla to seek a career beyond Kaleido Stage after the Legendary Great Maneuver--and Layla learned of The Spirit of The Stage through her newfound independence from her father after being inspired to become the publically anonymous face known as "The Masked Star." Layla's desire to further grow is inspired by a person who reminds her of who she once used to be. Similarities and differences--both aide to provoke the professional relationship which becomes amplified and magnified by Layla's learning of a soul of existence who the world would be very different without. At least... this story.
In addition to the contributions Sora's soul shares with Layla--the addition of the story-element known as Sora Naegino also reveal and resonate a friendship that may otherwise have ever existed. The spirits of easy-going Ken Robbins and SUPER-HIGH-STRUNG over-the-top-performing-chef May Wong ["MIRACLE TAXI CHANGE!" -- scene reminds me of the opening of the original 1984 musical film "Footloose" XD] -- are equally united in a very unlikely friendship without the unseen attributes of assertive-passion that Sora Naegino transmits to those within her presence [even if only on a subconscious level].
If there were no Sora Naegino or... But there is. And That is all there is to it! ^_^

Hey everybody!
How are you doing?
Finally releasing this! Dr. Tiger M. Gales' Kaleido Star Dissertaiton!
Let me say first off that I AM NOT AN ACTUAL REGISTERED DOCTOR!
"Dr. Tiger M. Gales" (aka Doctor Kaleido Star!)
is simply like my way of like saying,
"What's up Doc" to a person (like Bugs Bunny =3) or "Dr. Dre" --
Dr. Dre being to this day someone I recognize as great influence on why
I decided on DJing music, creating original tracks, and "making beats"
and why it became important to me! -- later
came my "Prime Mentor" Fatboy Slim!
Just Music wouldn't do as a contribution to my now Favorite anime
of all time! So I wrote! A lot A lot A lot! One thing I like is that
Without being excessively sexual or violent (like some anime), Kaleido
anime covers just about EVERY outlet of the Entertainment Industry!
This is but one reason I like it
[Read the introduction and full 55 portions of my Kaleido Star Dissertation
to learn the other reasons I honestly absolutely love this series!]
"Dissertation" simply means "Thesis" or "Theory."
In otherwords this is simply my own understanding of what I
personally see speaking for me and only for me -- in having seen
the anime "Kaleido Star" in 2010! (initially saw in 2009!
Wrote this Dissertation as kind of an "Episode by Episode"
Review after viewing the series in its entirety a year later!)
Completed it and didn't publish it until now!
Why now?
Kaleido Star is an anime about Love Compassion, Challenge,
persistence, passion, overcoming difficult times and obstacles.
Proudly Born and raised in Albany, Georgia, North America -- U.S.A. --
Today is a day that for many -- embodies all of those things.
My Major! Love [Purpose], Peace, Happiness & Success!
I found ALL in this amazing anime and wanted to share! Wouldn't pass
If I were to submit this to a conventional college (DUH!) So I Simply
just went with my heart and like Nike decided to "Just Do It!" heh.
Written over a 4 month period between January and May 2011... This is!
Dr. Tiger M. Gales' Kaleido Star Disseration!
