 And then we'll have a closing session, which I'll be holding and you can share anything else that's in the mind. So I'm going to start and hand it over to you now David. Okay, thank you Pete. Hi everyone. So glad we can come together. Wow, what a beautiful group we have today. I'm seeing your smiling faces. And we got a pretty big group here I think I see 70 participants in the zoom room and then there's some rooms that have, have multiple people so there's a whole group of us here around the world. Today we are going into some very, very core deep themes using yes, a Disney movie. That's right. We love our Disney movies, we love our animated Disney movies and and the movie for today is frozen to it's the sequel to frozen and hallelujah for that. And a lot of the critics when this movie came out they they described this movie as intense. And the only way Disney gets into intensity is, is because they're going into deep themes, the themes we need to look at the themes that we have in our unconscious mind that have to be brought to the surface for us to wake up from this dream. So alright critics that's alright call it intense if you want. But we need, we need help from from Disney to help us wake up. And the thing is, Disney delivers a great deep movie, but they also put so much great music in there that it's like you're in the dental chair, and you've got the Nova came because you've got some of the best singers in the history of the world, singing the best songs, the brand new songs, which a new movie comes out with. And, you know, it's almost like a metaphysical music fest, when you go through one of these Disney movies. It's spectacular. So I want to remind you all that Disney came out with a movie, you might have seen called the Lion King. For some of you who have trouble understanding the metaphysics of a course in miracles, just watch the Lion King, you know, a Simba, the son believes that he's killed which everyone who comes to planet Earth are not consciously aware of it. But they, the entrance way into time and space is to believe that you killed your source. Or as in the biblical terms you killed your father in heaven, in order that you could have a life apart from God in form. And so Lion King, oh yes, right on the money, the belief that you killed your father with with that case your uncle scar telling you, you did it you killed him and now run run run as far away as you can run and hide. And of course, you know, he tries to go and make a life eating bugs, and make new friends and sing a kudamata. But still he's got that guilt of believing that he killed his father, and he has to return to face the guilt and face everything that's happened the desolate world of the pride land. So we also have Pocahontas. The movie today has a lot of parallels with Pocahontas. I mean I have to watch Pocahontas at least once a year, because it's so good. Basically, she doesn't want war, she doesn't want fighting Pocahontas wants harmony, but she has to face so many obstacles and so many fears and self doubts to go on her journey of self discovery. And there's a river in Pocahontas, and she has to follow the tributary of the river with grandmother Willow advising her to listen to your heart, you will understand. Well, Disney has catapulted off of Pocahontas with this movie, because in this movie we still have a river. And this river is called Alto, Holland, and basically this river is just is associated with wisdom, very much like in Pocahontas. This, this is a river of wisdom that leads you to the path of self discovery to find your true identity to find your true power. And so I think in Frozen one, the first movie, you know it was a pretty good story with spectacular music, of course, we'll never forget. The past is in the past. That's, that's Jesus for sure. I'm never going back the past is in the past. That's all Jesus is asking us to do is remember the past is in the past to realize that the past cannot touch us now. And nothing that we seem to do right or wrong can be the source of guilt, because right now in this instant we are free and and Jesus is calling us to discover this instant. But I would say frozen to the movie we're going to watch today is is highly, highly metaphysical. It's great music, it's got the great metaphysics. Yeah, we're going to have to put it on our classics list. This is going to have to be one that when you are watching the final movies of your life, please put this one on. You can pass away with a big smile on your face and go, Oh God, thank you. Thank you for reminding me. Thank you for calling me home. Thank you for answering my call for help. Thank you for showing me the way to love and light and and showing me how to remember eternity in this in the face of this very mesmerizing dream of time and space that seems so real. Now you keep reminding me. I'm, I'm safe at home in heaven and I'm just dreaming of exile. I can't really exile from God. It's not, it's not possible. I can believe it, but I can't make it so. I can believe it but I can't turn it, turn the dream into reality. This is just a dream of separation from God. This movie, this movie takes place about three years after the first movie. And for those of you that didn't see the first movie. The first movie was about parents who had two daughters Elsa and Anna and their sisters and they it turns out Elsa had this power. She had a lot of power is seemingly power with snow and ice and anything cold. So we'll say she had magic powers of coldness. Now, she also made a beautiful snowman called Olaf, and some of you really enjoyed Olaf from number one he's the most comical snowman in the history of the human race. Yes, he's much more comical than frosty the snowman. No one comes close to Olaf's humor. This has got to be one of the best characters we've ever seen on the screen to remind us about innocence, simplicity, humor. He's sharp. He's smart. He's witty. He's and he's in this movie he's pretty philosophical. He's pretty philosophical Olaf gets philosophical and frozen to he loves to say this one word, and he doesn't know what it means. But he loves saying it, because he just loves the sound of it but he doesn't know what it means. And the word is transformation. A snowman who speaks the word transformation and doesn't know what it means, but he likes the sound of it. That I want to tell everybody that's the best the less you think you know about that word, like Olaf, the better you are. When you try to use your past learning to define transformation. Oh, it's a mess. You could get yourself in four or five six decades of struggle. If you think you know what that is. But if you don't know what it is, then you're in good shape. And Olaf is, he's in good shape. He almost melted in number one frozen one and he's going to be a key figure here in number two. Also there's Christoph. Christoph is in the movie and Christoph's reindeer. Christoph's reindeer is spend for all of you from Scandinavia there's a real Scandinavian name spend reindeer named spend. That's right. And so those are our main characters. We have Elsa and Anna the sisters we have Olaf the snowman. We have Christoph, and we have spent in in this movie. And this movie, Christoph will be trying to propose marriage to Anna, but it shows all of the resistance and intensity around that word marriage. So he's having a very, very difficult time in this movie, proposing marriage. It's, it's got too many charges around it and he seems to have such intensity and resistance. Also, in this movie we're going to see that this movie is got the calling to remember God. I think you remember from from the lion king when Mustafa Mustafa passes away and and from the sky. He says with the James Earl joint Jones voice to Simba his son. Remember, remember. So, that's a call to God. Remember, remember. When you remember in Pocahontas grandmother willow said listen to your heart, you will understand. And basically Pocahontas was hearing in the wind this this whispering soft call. It's like a soft feminine voice listen to your heart, you will understand, you know, let it break upon you like the waves upon the sand, listen to your heart, you will understand. In this movie. There's another calling and this is a soft feminine voice again, who will be is calling Elsa. And she seems to have a pretty happy life there in Arendelle. So that's their little seaside town very beautiful quaint little town by the sea and and and this is autumn so the leaves. Everything is beautiful. And then the first movie. There was an evil spell that came on Arendelle and froze the whole place. And so the first movie was about Elsa discovering her powers, getting comfortable with her powers, and then finally saving the day and unfreezing her hometown of Arendelle. So for those of you missed the first movie. That's what the plot is. Now, everybody's happy in Arendelle, and then suddenly something strange is going to happen to Arendelle. It's like what we've got going on on planet Earth right now. This movie came out in November of 2019. And the next month of pandemic hit the hit Earth. And so right after this movie came out. This movie was like foreshadowing the pandemic, they're going to have some strange things that happened to Arendelle. At the beginning of this movie and it all is associated with the calling to return home. So this is strange, but we could say a pen pandemic is strange, you know, none of us were exactly watching frozen to at the theater is coming out and going well we better watch out. We might end up with the strange thing happening to our planet. You know that we are being called by God and so was Elsa and so was Simba and so was Pocahontas. These Disney movies are really speaking to our heart. They're not messing around. They're like wake up movies that Disney Walt Disney was an amazing man he loved children and he he had a tremendous willingness to let symbols and images of animated movies be used in a very, I think, very, very helpful way for everyone on the planet. So basically, to give you a little bit of an idea of this is that something will be fall as soon as Elsa starts hearing this calling. It's like a song kind of like Siddhartha, you know, when when Siddhartha was in the palace. He heard a song, and the song started to call him out of the palace on a journey of self realization and enlightenment. Some of you remember and of course the miracles there's a beautiful section called the forgotten song where Jesus says listen, perhaps you catch a glimpse. A glimpse of an ancient melody that it seems forgotten, but it goes into the one of the most poetic, amazing calls of calling you home saying, if you knew who you were and you knew how much love was waiting for you, you would cry you would weep. If you remembered how much you love those that are all with you in in heaven. And so in this movie the song will kind of call Elsa. It's called it's a mysterious call. It's it's kind of an enchanted call. And some people write in the right up say it's a strange call, because it's not common. It's not common. It's that small still voice inside of you. That's whispering to you saying, oh my beloved child, if you knew how loved you are you would listen to me, and you would follow my directions and my instructions. So, Elsa is going to hear the call, and she is going to resist the call. Anybody here ever resisted the call to wake up to the light. Oh, we all we're going to laugh today because she is really disturbed by this call. It's almost like don't mess with my life I got a good life. I got my sister, and I've got a beautiful snowman friend, I got a Christophe and I've got a sin. You can't do better than that is a cute town, a happy reindeer, Sven, and you know you got a good life and then all of a sudden this mysterious call comes and it just keeps beckoning keeps beckoning you. It's calling you away from the past. It's calling you away from the familiar. It's calling you into the unknown, the unknown. Wow, that sounds exciting, but that's a little scary, because the known is the familiar now. Jesus says you made up this world to take the place of God's love. And then you made what is impossible familiar to you. So we made the impossible familiar. And then we got attached to the familiar. And now God, which is the only thing that we can truly know is now the unknown. And planet Earth stars and sky and sun and trees and people that's now the known and the source of life if eternal life is now the unknown. So you can see why Elsa is a little bit resistant to this call, because she's being called into the unknown and it's partly exciting and partly terrifying. And that's the same for all of us we're watching these movies because together we're going to hold hands, we're going to join hands and we're going to, we're going to learn to forgive the world and wake up from this no matter how difficult it seems we're going to do it. You know, we've already, we've already said yes, even though the egos and no, no, no, no, we're like, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. So that's where Elsa is. Mr. Anna is a really close sister she loves her sister Elsa so much but she is she doesn't know what this calling is, and nobody does. You might have experienced that too. With your partners friends families, you get this mysterious enchanting call, and then you try to explain it to your family and your partner and they go. What are you talking to what are what did you have to drink. What, what drugs are you on that you are doing this. And for most people, you know, you don't, you can't really talk about it if you use Olaf's word transformation. With your friends and family they'll say what. You like how you are now what do you why you want to transform what's wrong with you right now. What's wrong with the flesh you the person you, or they may say oh that's good good I'm glad you're into personal transformation. I hope you are very successful and make a lot of money and you personally transform into one of the most successful people in the world. And then you go no no no it's not what the voice is talking about. It's not about personal transformation, it may look that way. You may say wow you're different you, you smile more frequently your forehead is serene you're happy. That's strange you don't make a lot of money but you're really happy. I don't know why. This is, this is a movie of spiritual transformation. This is a movie of laying inside the ego. This is a movie of laying inside the pursuits of linear time, and accepting the present moment. So, they are going to go on an adventure because even though Elsa thinks she has to go alone and many of us thought we had to go alone to we thought I'm not going to put this off on anybody else. But I'm going to do the solo journey for sure. You know I'm not going on this mysterious journey and wrap roping anybody in with it and Jesus like. Yeah, I've got a different plan. You're going to have mighty companions around you, and you're not going to be solo. You even that's wrong. You think you don't know what transformation is. You don't know the means of transformation. In fact Jesus says you don't really know anything you know nothing. That's about where you're at, and that's good, because he's like going to direct us moment by moment. So, Olaf comes up with a great little phrase in this movie, and I always love to talk about guidance. But Olaf is is going to I think it's Olaf, or maybe it's Anna and Olaf they kind of come up with this phrase, and the phrase is, it's called them. Just do the next right thing. Isn't that lovely. Just do the next right thing. Forever just do the next right thing. Every moment of your life just do the next right thing that's guidance. That's like Jesus saying yeah just be in your right mind and just do the next right minded thing. Don't, don't follow the ego do the next right minded thing I'm translating it to of course the miracles from from the movie. That's beautiful, because that is faith. I think this movie is about faith. I think this movie is about showing how to strengthen our faith in the face of many dark clouds of doubt. These characters are going to show us faith. They're going to go to an enchanted forest. Don't you like enchanted forest I like movies with enchanted forest. They're very magical and I would love to live in an enchanted force. This movie has an enchanted forest but, but something happened to this magical enchanted forest because something that seriously happened went wrong, and it's just got this fog over it. Now, doesn't that just describe the ego, you know something seems to have gone wrong, and then the ego rolls in a big fog, and then nobody can see anything and nobody can get in or out of the fog. The fog is a beautiful symbol of not being able to see. You can't see when it's foggy. So, there's some kind of a secret or mystery, and then there's everything shrouded in this big fog, and it's almost like a force field around this enchanted forest and we're going to go. The characters are going to go into the enchanted forest full of fog, and they're going to have to go and face a lot of the unconscious mind. There are four spirits, guarding the enchanted forest and those are the element the element spirits that are very much in Native American, and a lot of different spiritualities these are called the element. Water and fire earth and wind, and, and then they're going to have to face all kinds of things. Now, we've been watching a lot of movies and we've been watching a lot of Disney movies over the years and and Disney like to employ the use of magic. So, a lot of times the characters have magic wands, or they have magic powers, and many fairy tales have characters with magic powers. When you start studying a course of miracles you see that Jesus associates magic with the ego. He associates magic with the ego so he's he's breaking away from a lot of the, a lot of the philosophies and teachings. And I'll tell you the full depth of that so you have an idea what I'm talking about. Jesus would equate anything that changes in form, and, and basically all of time and space was made by the ego and so there seem to be powers. There seem to be powers like we have electricity in time and space we have. We have wind, we have gravity, we have, you know, centrifugal force, we have chemicals, we have nuclear, nuclear fusion and nuclear fission. We would say that there seems to be many, many powers associated with our experiences in earth and in time and space. Jesus is telling us that because the ego made the world, the ego made the cosmos of time and space, that all powers that are associated with time and space are magical. They're not truly spiritual, because spirit is eternal, and spirit creates like spirit. And here's a good one for you, all power is of God. All power is of spirit. And anything that is not of God has no power whatsoever. Okay, so when we think of wizards and we think of witches and we think of magical powers like Elsa has powers with her. She uses her hands a lot with her, her snowballs and ice and everything. Anything that is of God, a pure spirit has power. And anything that doesn't come from God has no power at all. Now, what Jesus tells us in the Course is that the mind that has fallen asleep and forgotten heaven, it forgot nirvana, it forgot eternity and oneness. This mind that has fallen asleep believes in miscreation. Okay, now miscreation is the miscreative use of the power of the mind. So the mind, the divine mind that was created by God, the mind of Christ is all power. And that's why Jesus, when Jesus was threatened, so to speak, when the Pharisees or the Romans, whatever would question Jesus, he was basically defenseless. He says, he basically was saying that there is no power in heaven or earth that can, that can touch me, because the Son of God is pure spirit. That's why Jesus was not threatened by the cross. That's why he was not threatened by getting whipped or beaten, because he was identified with the spirit, and the spirit is all powerful. Remember, everything of earth and time and space, zero power, zero power, nada, nada, zilch, zilch, zero, zero. I'm going to say it however many times, there is no power in an illusion. Why would we think that something's a projection of the ego would have power? Why would we think politicians had power? Why would we think Army generals had power? Why would we think Hitler had power? Why would we think anything or anyone in this world would have power if all power is of God or spirit? And that's why we're to forgive the world and wake up and remember our true identity as Christ, because that's all power. That's one with God. That's spirit. So, this is very important when Jesus says, nothing real can be threatened, nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God. He's talking about spirit. Nothing real can be threatened. Spirit cannot be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Time and space do not exist. Herein lies the peace of God. Now, it doesn't mean that there doesn't seem to be powers. And if you study parapsychology, you know, you study psychokinesis, for example, that's the ability to move objects with your mind. There seems to be all kinds of psychic powers, they're called, even in the chorus in the manual for teachers, you know, they ask Jesus, are psychic powers desirable? And he, he's telling us it's the purpose for which you use these make believe powers. That's important. If you use them to heal and bless, then that will help you wake up. If you give these psychic powers so so to speak to the ego, it's just going to keep you asleep. You might become, you might become famous on the psychic hotline, trying to tell people fortunes of their future but you're not going to wake up from the dream if you don't give those so-called psychic powers to the Holy Spirit to use for forgiveness. Because remember there's only one purpose in this world and that's forgiveness. It's in the mind, but that's the only thing valuable to a sleeping mind now is forgiveness. There's nothing else valuable but forgiveness. So Elsa, she has these powers and these magical powers. I mean, throughout the centuries, I'll just say this, people are afraid of, of something that they don't understand. That's why they, they burned witches at the stake was because the people didn't understand what the witches were talking about or capable of doing and it scared them. So there's a lot of fear associated even with these magical powers and we'll find that in this movie too, that Elsa has these powers that are very unusual, but there's a lot of fear around them. There was fear in the first movie around Elsa's powers and there's also fear in this movie. Because the dream characters, they think the world's real and so powers that are supernatural seem to be threatening because they don't fit into a nice box. There's no way that the world can define these, these powers. They're not real powers because, again, real power is of God. Why is it called a course in miracles? Well, a miracle is something that comes to you from the Holy Spirit that is always helpful. The miracle you can never misuse a miracle. Isn't that great? Isn't it great that we've discovered there's something we can't misuse? Because according to the idea of miscreation, we've misused, not in reality, but in the dream, we've misused the power God gave us to miscreate. And again, that's just a belief. It's not a reality. But if you believe in it, if you believe you have the power to miscreate, you also will have guilt. Because even though you can't really miscreate, if you believe in it, then you will feel guilty. And if you realize that you never could have done it, then you're innocent. And that's good news because that's reality. Innocence is reality. So basically what we're seeing is that Elsa, she's drawn to this calling by this mysterious voice. She has resistance to it. She doesn't really want to hear it and pay attention to it. But it's very persistent. And you may have noticed that about the Holy Spirit in your life. The Holy Spirit is very persistent. It doesn't matter if you push the Holy Spirit away a thousand times or 10,000 times or 100,000 times. It's still going to be there softly beckoning saying, come home, come home, come, come, follow me. You want to know who you really are. It's not going to give up. The Holy Spirit never throws the towel in and says, ah, enough. Holy Spirit is just going to gently always bring that call. And that's what happens in this movie. This soft call to Elsa just keeps coming. Thank God. I see Patricia is applauding. Thank God. Thank God for the persistence of this call to wake up. Yes. So it's going to be quite an adventure we're going to go on. But what we will discover is that our calling of our heart is so important that we need the little willingness to turn to listen and follow this inner voice. So it is Elsa. We're also seeing that at some point in our journey inward that we're going to get to a point that we so much want to see the light that we're going to call out from our heart, show yourself. That's right. There's going to be some point when we're going to call out to the light and just say show yourself. There's a beautiful song in this movie called show yourself. There gets a point where Elsa really wants to know the source, and she sings it with full voice, you know, show yourself. It's the name of the song, show yourself. We're going to reach that point where we are going to have that prayer from our heart, show yourself. I see Steven's there. He's got the northern lights. That's right. When those beautiful green lights start coming, and we start looking at the sky and we're not looking at all the trinkets of the world anymore we're kind of interested in those beautiful, romantically beautiful lights. They're like calling to us the northern lights. And Steven's sitting there right in them. That's perfect. You're, you're right in the show yourself scene. You're, you're, you're showing us what kind of backdrop we really would like to have his, his light, we would really like to be surrounded by light actually. That's really important. Also, as I said, this is a calling into the unknown that's another song into the unknown that Elsa's going to sing and just enjoy it when she sings it. Just go with her. You want that to you want to go into the unknown. You're not really afraid of the unknown. What seems to be the unknown is God is pure love. So during the spiritual journey you just seem to be afraid of waking up until you wake up. And then you go. Oh my God. I can't believe I was afraid of this. I can't believe I was afraid of this. I was afraid of nothing when actually everything was mine. It was always truly me was the light is so beautiful. So we're going to be discovering our identity, our true source of power. And in this movie, you'll see some of the secrets that get exposed are that that's something that was presented as a gift was not really a gift. The ego presents the mind with many, many gifts. And I definitely am putting these that word gift in quotes when it comes from the ego. It's a disguise. It's a trick. It's a lie. And many of us have fallen, of course, we've fallen for those tricks and lies because that's, that's why we're here doing this movie, if we, if we hadn't followed them, we wouldn't need this movie. We wouldn't need this movie at all. But because we've maybe we fell for fame or fortune. Maybe we fell for possession. Maybe we fell for competition. Maybe we fell for pride and vanity. None of those things are coming from God. Those are all ego gifts for holding on to a personality self. And they don't get you back into the kingdom of heaven. All they do is keep you stuck in time like flies in glue, a fly stuck on glue paper. And it's not our it's not our joy to be stuck. It's our joy joy to soar. So, the other thing I like about this movie is that Elsa will now have to face her past. And that means all of her past memories she's going to have to face. And at some point, she will go into like, it's like a frozen ghost memories graveyard. It's like, it's like, I've never seen it, you know, I mean I've seen movies show flashes from the past. This is like a frozen ghost memory memorial place, you know, where all the memories of the past are there. And she's going to have to walk through these without without taking them as real she's just going to have to let the spirit use them to take her beyond them. Because her mother is going to sing this beautiful beautiful song to her as a little girl. She's basically telling her to to go toward the truth. And, and don't when you go down into the depth of this river that will teach you the direction of truth. Don't go too far in other words don't lose your mind by by believing in the darkness you have to be able to be carried beyond the darkness to the light. But don't freeze your mind in the darkness, otherwise, you will be afraid of the light. So, there's so many great things in this movie there's so many. It's one of these Disney movies loaded with metaphysics loaded with meaning. And when you get to some of these songs, you sing along, if you know it because they are taking your mind higher and higher they're lifting your heart toward the light. And this is one of the kind of movies where I think you could watch this. Let's make a list. Pocahontas, you know, Lion King and let's put frozen to on the list. We need at least one of these frozen to movies every year. We may have to do this every Christmas. We have to may have to watch frozen to so we unfreeze our mind from the ego. So enjoy the movie, and I will pop in during the movie to give some commentary, and you're going to have a great ride today. This is a perfect Christmas season movie, because of all the snow and ice. And for some of you where like where I am now where it's it's going up to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Yes, we need a good snow movie to remember the sparkles of Christmas.
