 Good morning everyone. Good to see you all. Thanks for joining us again. I'm Peter and I'm going to be the host. Yeah welcome to the movie workshop today. I'll be blasting off into outer space soon but I can let you know what the day is going to look like. So we're going to start with the movie David and then afterwards we'll take a 10 minute break and it's a time when you can submit any questions or prayers you might have and then we'll have the closing session with David where he'll get to respond to everything you've submitted. So I'll pass it straight over to David now. Hi everyone. Welcome to another beautiful session where we use movies and TV episodes and to go deep into the mind and yeah we're gonna it's gonna be very very deep today. When I think about what we're going to watch today it's almost like in some sense going through what they call in this world a near-death episode. Have any of you ever been through a near-death episode? It's pretty rare but I think this is kind of cool today because you don't have to flatline to go through an NDE with me. You just stay with me. We're going to we're gonna go through some deep experiences then we're gonna have a direct contact with the light and most of our movies and most of the things we encounter here we don't actually get to meet the light directly. We talk about it but today we're actually going to go into a direct contact with the light and as usual this this session this workshop today comes about from you voting on various themes and the themes for this week were very interesting and it's interesting that the the number one theme that you voted for this week was making the decision to trust now and it's interesting because that theme is is recognizing the importance and the value of trust but it's also recognizing that that that trust is now we're not talking about past trust or future trust we're talking about the development of trust coming to strengthen your trust in the present moment and so that's a little bit different than trusting in people or trusting in institutions or even trusting in anything of time because as you really give your trust over in a full way to the spirit the spirit is going to take you into the gateway to eternity which is the present moment so most of us are used to having sometimes very busy lives and and present trust takes you into a stillness that is so deep it's just penetratingly deep and it takes you into a state of mind that that is not human and you go deeper toward the light as you go deeper into this stillness so this is what all the the mystics and the saints and the avatars have been talking about for centuries and the purpose of these Saturday workshops is really to go into it experientially to actually go on a deep dive into the present moment so that's our first theme making the decision to trust now number two experiencing the purity of my heart so when we talk about our heart we talk about sometimes our hearts desire what is your heart's desire and as a human being there's an awareness that there are actually multiple desires in this heart and and for the human being that is just the status quo that's just the way it is in terms of on planet earth and and the human experience but then you actually go back to the ancient texts and the scriptures and when you go back to Jesus on the Sermon on the Mount when you go back into his teachings there you have Jesus teaching blessed are the pure of heart for they shall see God so I think by that saying in the Sermon on the Mount Jesus is saying is if you want to know God if you want to know the Creator you have to allow a purification to occur and once that purification is complete then you have a pure heart a heart of pure love and in that pure love you know God you know the Creator God is pure love and as we purify our hearts or more accurately as we allow the Holy Spirit and Jesus to purify our hearts then we come closer and closer to knowing God and knowing our true identity as the Christ not as a personality identity that those are little fragments of memory and they're fragments of of time and space that's what a personality is it's a it's a tiny little part a little tiny little fragment of time and space that is a reflection of the belief in fragmentation most of us can can see that with 7.8 billion people on the planet we know there must be something underneath that something whole something good something pure something loving something that we we surmise must be could be pure love and light pure oneness and yet in the experience of the human condition of being a part among many other parts that experience of wholeness is not in awareness it's just more of it's just more of a belief or some might say I wish I was one with God and Jesus would say good good you wish you were one with God well that wish will help you experience forgiveness releasing the false and accepting the true number three stepping into simultaneity letting go of time thoughts entirely who quantum physics we're going quantum today quantum physics is basically saying that the quantum field is a quill field of perfect energy which everything is connected perfectly regardless of the of time and space that actually behind this world of fragmented bits and pieces of perception there's actually a giant energy field that is entirely connected and so you might say that the fragmented perception is like the grid but underneath the grid is pure unified awareness it's it's all energy it's all purified energy and it's all completely connected there's there's nothing apart from it so so where we're looking at a fragmented world a perceived world of fragmentation where there's differences everywhere you look Jesus is just saying well this is not reality and in the eastern religions and eastern philosophies they call it Maya and Maya is another word for illusion so we're looking to have that all corrected by stepping into simultaneity that is no small theme in the sense that if you if we're honest and we start to take a look at what we perceive as our lives in this world it's almost like we could say well everything seems fragmented and separate time seems fragmented into past present future the world the cosmos seems fragmented we seem to have different dimensions we seem to have different obviously bodies and and villages and cities different countries different planets on a solar system different different galaxies it seems like what we're perceiving through the five senses is a very very fragmented cosmos and what Jesus is saying is yes and actually it has nothing to do with reality whatsoever so if we follow the teachings of Jesus you know even the teachings of we'll say the new age teachings you know we have real standard traditional teachings standard religions and then we have the new age that basically says you can create your own reality and Jesus is laughing because because that's no different than our traditional heaven and hell religions create your own reality sounds kind of more advanced but it's actually not because God is the creator of reality and all you can really do is accept reality you can't create something that's already there you see the difference you don't you cannot create your own reality today I'm throwing water on the the whole new age belief system you know sometimes we throw it on the heaven and hell religions but now we're throwing it on the new age as well because because reality is oneness reality is love reality is is eternity and time and space aren't eternal time and space seem to have a beginning and it will seem to have an ending as well but that's not eternity so today's movie where I think it's going to take us when we go to a direct contact with the light we are actually that's going to shake things up it's one thing to come across a king or a prince or a princess in one of our fairy tales but to go directly to the light will shake things up because actually the light is real and and so we're going to have a an encounter with reality today so the next one number four is accepting the full joy of living in purpose and oftentimes we do associate that purpose with something in form you know when people say I want to find my life's purpose some people will say well I was to be a singer or a dancer or a teacher or my life's purpose was to have a family or my life's purpose was to become the president of some country or you know something like that but Jesus is saying now really your only purpose is to forgive the world that's the only purpose that is the only purpose that you have and to forgive the world you have to accept the correction for this fragmented world which the correction is is the atonement it's the first miracle on the last miracle on all the miracles in between so that helps because when we come into a direct contact with the light that will give us a new context for our life's purpose you know if somebody had told you when you were a child you know the purpose in life your entire purpose is simply to see the false is false then the good question would be what is false if I if I'm only here to see the false is false what is false and the answer to that is everything you perceive through your five senses see that false as false don't try to make degrees of perception and call some of them true and some of them real and some of them false just see the falsity of perception in in its entirety and wow that's a deep dive into spirituality when we study of course your miracles where we're definitely going for seeing the false is false we can't really accept the true is true until we first see the false is false so that's a prerequisite for a spiritual awakening and finally number five is giving up the idea of sacrifice once and for all even though that's the last theme that's listed when you really talk to people and you really listen to what they're saying oftentimes it comes down to well I did this but I didn't really want to or I had to do this I didn't like it but I did this and when it comes to spirituality you know when when we look at Buddha empty your mind of everything you think you think think you know enter into the void you know that for many people you know when I talk to them about that and Buddhism they just say I'm not interested in the void that sounds that sounds terrible I can think of a lot better things to put my focus on than the void but but all major spiritual traditions basically teach that you have to release the false sense of self that was made up this fictitious false sense of self is what is blocking the awareness of truth and oneness and yet when you go on the spiritual journey you know a lot of times I know people will say well I was going along pretty good I thought I thought I was doing pretty well but then I realized I was trying to develop a spiritual career and and that was just another image or I thought I'd done my part to make the world a better place and then I start to realize that that is just another concept image and and when you go deeper and deeper down you do begin to notice that the fear seems to be around letting go of the individuality of personhood and the ego is all right with you becoming a spiritual person but the ego is not all right with you recognizing that there is no such thing as individuality that is for the ego that's the end of the ego because if there's no individuality then there's no fragmentation there's no separation there's no differences is game over for the entire belief in separation it's just seeing the nothingness of the ego and the reality of spirit so as we go on this journey today you know what we're going to realize that if we take just a close look at individuality for example we start to realize that there's there is some fear associated with individuality that that the mind that's identified with the person with the individual has fear that arises from time to time there's anxiety with individuality there's guilt with the sense of individuality there is there's anger there's rage associated with the sense of individuality and when we look at that sense of individuality and we want to become a healed individual oftentimes people will turn to psychoanalysis or psychotherapy or they'll turn to different philosophies different religious traditions it's almost like the individual construct is saying help help me stay an individual and help me be a happy individual and for many of us growing up we actually thought that was a pretty good goal you know to be a happy individual and then when you go towards the light when I've gone to Jesus and I say please what do you have to say to me about this word individual and and basically Jesus says here I'll give you a better word that that can help you come into a different state of mind and it's indivisible so so to christ we're not a beautiful individual where we're beautifully indivisible you see the difference how christ is one christ is one christ is light and christ is indivisible there aren't multiple christ there aren't multiple we're not the goal is not to have 6.8 billion christs maybe the ego would try to say yeah that's a good one I like that one because that way you could maintain individuality and call yourself an individual christ but ultimately the light is just pure abstraction and the fear of awakening is the fear of the light but that fear of the light involves the belief in sacrifice what do I have to give up what do I have to give up God to know you what's what's it gonna cost me what am I gonna have to give up and many religions talk about where you have to give up all these things and and Jesus has said well you know it's not a matter of things it's just a matter of if you want to think of it as things just think of it as giving up everything not everything but everything just give up the belief in parts and accept the wholeness so for the mind that's identified as an individual we have there's a lot of emotions that go with that some people tell me I'm doing okay now but actually I came from a dysfunctional family and I say well yeah all families by definition are dysfunctional all families are dysfunctional and you don't come out of a dysfunctional family as a healthy individual because individuals are not healthy either some of you have noticed that that individuals are definitely not healthy that keeps doctors in business you know doctors psychiatrists helpers social workers you know it's it's a game but it's a game of of fragmentation I one time when I studied psychology you know I started to look at these different psychological diagnosis classifications and one of them I'd like to look at was it was called it was called psychosis when I studied psychology I said what is psychosis and basically psychosis in psychiatric terms is when you have had a break from reality but if reality is God if reality is heaven if reality is oneness then the belief in the individual person is psychotic the definition of a person who exists in and of itself separate from the whole is a psychotic definition so the sleeping son of God the mind that has forgotten that is the Christ it's it's yeah by psychological terms it's it's psychotic it's schizophrenic too because schizophrenia is a split mind and definitely the sleeping son of God is dealing with a split condition love and fear it's tough to believe in love and fear you know it's tough to believe in them both it's it's really impossible but it's it's a it's a conundrum it is a real issue to believe in both love and fear and this is what we're dealing with with a split mind that's why the the individual could be said to be a reflection of a split mind it's very schizophrenic and then finally there's many classifications we could use but Bob Rosenthal who is one of the he was a co-president of foundation for inner peace he he always liked to to look into what in the old days was called multiple personality disorder but i would say that the individual construct is part of the multiple personality disorder if it's not that we just believe ourselves to be an individual person but we also believe there's 7.8 other billion persons out there too and that is a major case of multiple personality disorder you see if heaven is oneness if heaven is pure love if heaven is eternity then what we're dealing with is psychotic schizophrenic multiple personality disorder and and today i'm going to go with you to try to go into an experience that brings an end to the disorder that's why that's why it would be happy and joyful and free is because if you had a realization that you're not what you thought you were but happily you are this wonderful being of light and always have been you see that's that's worth celebrating that's that's what true spiritual awakening is about now to to go on such a deep journey and encounter the light where i show movies from all different times time frames and so forth but today go back with me in our time machine today to 1993 1993 we're going back because anybody ever heard of star trek star trek do i have any trekkies in the room we've got some trekkies here we've got trekkies on board we're going star trekking today we are going star trekking because we're going to the light and we are going beyond the traditional theme of star trek was to go where no man has ever gone but today i promise you we are going with you today all of us where no ego has ever gone how's that we're we are really star trekking today because we're going where no ego has ever gone and that is the light we are going to go into direct contact with the light so this is not another species we're not interested about the klingons today we're not the romulans you know we're not interested in the borg we're not interested in in all the different the kardashians i'm not talking about the kardashians but they have kardashians in the before the kardashians in california where there were the kardashians in in star trek it's like please don't tell me we're we're going into what is it kim and all of her sister no we're not the kardashians were a species we're going beyond the kardashians they will get mentioned in the episode today but we're the kardashians that the species kardashians where we're going where no ego has ever gone now when you go on a journey like this to go where no ego has ever gone then you realize that the light will have to use the symbols of time and space it will have to use the symbols that the ego invented the ego invented words the ego invented time and space the ego invented all the galaxies the planets and all the species the the fishies in the deep blue sea the every species on every planet in any every galaxy in in the history of the cosmos we're going beyond all of that today and and so that's what i say we're going beyond the ego we're going to where the ego cannot enter and that is the light so today's session will be very much like this book of course in miracles because the course is a book that uses words and remember the ego made the words so the ego made this book but the course is a presence of love and light that uses what the ego made so the ego invented the words and now wow this configuration this arrangement of words we're all like oh ah oh that's nice this is the light's use of words that's what this is nothing added nothing subtracted just the light's use of words that's why it's so helpful i see lucy shaking her head that's why she keeps buying new course books and giving them away buys another one gives it away buys another one gives it away meets a friend oh you want something it'll change your life here take my book i'll buy another one she's keeping foundation for inner peace and business lucy's lucy's good she's she's still buying the books even if they're on ebay it doesn't matter so this book is the light's use of words to point beyond the words and in this book jesus says the holy spirit uses time to teach you that there is no time isn't that lovely the holy spirit uses time to teach you that there is no time oh good book that's that's what we need a book that uses time to teach us that we are an eternal being we were never born and we never die we are still as god created us we still live in heaven and we never left heaven we're just dreaming of exile but this book is is trying to bring an end to that distorted dream give us a happy dream instead and then help us wake up back to eternal eternal life so that's good news now let me talk a little bit about our star trek episode this this episode appeared in 1993 in the star trek series deep space nine anybody you ever heard of deep space nine if you're a trekkie you know that there was the original star trek and then you know there's the next generation and then deep space nine is just one of the the aspects of this of the the trekkie world it's it's just one series and the title of this episode we're going to watch is called emissary and the main character in this episode to kind of give you a context so you have an understanding of what's happening because it always helps to have a little bit of context so in this episode we have benjamin sisco and he was part of star fleet and he and his his ship were were attacked by uh by the borg and the borg some of you know the borg their spaceships are so unique they're cubes that's an interesting looking ship not so aerodynamic for flying and on planet earth but it's a cube and the cube basically is going to fire upon benjamin sisco's ship and and damage the ship that's how the how our episode will start the ship will will be asked to to surrender and then instead of surrendering they fire on the cube and then the cube decides they're just going to fire back and there's major damage that occurs on on benjamin sisco's ship including his wife uh jennifer being killed and and his son jake is knocked unconscious as beams are falling as the the ship is uh that he's on is is basically falling apart and collapsing and so what we're going to see is we're going to see that memory of of this spaceship being basically destroyed by the borg and it's a it's a battle and one that the cube has will fire upon and and pretty much destroy the the ship and it's going to be very traumatic because everyone has experienced the loss or the death of a loved one as being very very traumatic and it's traumatic because of our egoic belief in loss in heaven there is no loss but when you believe in the ego you believe in death you believe in loss you believe in abandonment you believe in rejection you believe in all types of emotions that don't exist in reality they don't exist in heaven but we call them as aspects of the human condition and of of apparent we call it life on planet earth involves a range of emotions and it seems to come from a range of beliefs the one thing that all of these beliefs have in common is they all come from the ego so that's why we desperately need to go not just where no man has ever gone we have to go where no ego has ever gone we need a glimpse of something beyond the ego to have hope that we can wake up to this love this light this oneness that's beyond the ego belief system basically jesus says it's a joke to think that time can come to circumvent eternity what does that mean it just means that if you really think anything or anyone is capable of blocking the love of god then you are believing in a big joke if the joke is not reality but as long as you believe in it it doesn't even seem like a joke it seems pretty serious seems to have pretty serious consequences of believing in the ego and jesus is always telling us ah be of good cheer i have overcome the ego no big deal don't be afraid of the ego i transcended it and of course since we're the same one you obviously will transcend it too it's your destiny to transcend the ego so we have we have been ben sisco we have benjamin is portrayed with a memory of of losing his his wife and almost losing his son basically rescuing rescuing his son and then we're going to move some 15 years into the future from this initial memory and then we find that benjamin sisco is now raising his son and he is very angry and oftentimes people do feel angry at god with the death of a loved one people would just reason well if if god had anything to do with the the death of my beloved one i don't want anything to do with god and it's interesting because god is just pure light so the whole belief in death and the whole belief in linear time is all a construct of ego making and the only way we can be happy is to forgive or release the ego you see there's it's quite simple it's like you can't be you can't believe in the ego and know god you have to have one and the other now that belief in sacrifice you know when when people get accustomed to a certain lifestyle when they get accustomed to certain familiar faces and memories then when those memories start to to shift or fade or disappear then the sleeping mind the egoic mind feels very sad because it thinks it's losing something real and what has been forgotten is that it's all imaginary so if i use an example let's say let's say someone came to you and says i'm going to there's theresa we'll use you for example theresa someone came to you and said i'm going to make up uh an imaginary bank account for you and i'm going to put some imaginary money in the imaginary bank account and you were like all right if you if you insist and then at some point a little bit later they said uh i'm going to take the money out of the bank account you probably would laugh and go have a good time with your imaginary bank account you can take all of that imaginary money that you want you know because i'm not a fool uh you you you made me an imaginary bank account you put imaginary money in it now you're taking the imaginary money out of the bank account you probably would laugh like you're laughing now it's ridiculous the only the only problem with the belief in sacrifice is the belief that there's something in this world that's actually real and there's something that's real that can be taken away from you the the problem with with the belief in sacrifice is it makes the unreal real and then when the holy spirit says let go of of the unreal use cream bloody murder get forget it i i like my imaginary world all right it's a body but i like my imaginary body i like my imaginary food i like my imaginary movies i like my imaginary friends and holy spirit pick on somebody else go go pick on somebody else and the belief in sacrifice is just the belief that something that has no value whatsoever has value you see don't you see what sacrifice is it's the belief that something that god didn't create has value so when we mourn the loss of a loved one we're really mourning the loss of what a body we're mourning the loss of communication with that body we're mourning the loss of memories of holding or touching or kissing that body where we're mourning the the memories of the companionship that that body used to provide and you can realize what i'm talking about whether i'm talking about a human being or maybe one of your pets you know a lot of people they they feel their pet their pet their dog their cat their parakeet their frog whatever is is their pet and when the pet dies they feel sad because of the belief in loss they really believe they've lost something little my little sweet cat or my sweet dog or frog whatever it's gone it's gone it's inanimate now it's dead it's gone and there's a sense of loss and that is a that is a projection an example of the belief in sacrifice that's something that was created by god could be lost is absolutely ridiculous if you think that spirit which is just spirit creates spirit and in the kingdom of heaven there is no such thing as loss and that's why there's no such thing as sacrifice sacrifice is the belief in loss let's just call it what it is and whenever we get so familiar with certain images that we feel a fear of loss of losing those images then we basically are saying we believe in sacrifice god didn't create sacrifice but we believe it when we believe in the ego so this this movie will really help us out with that because because it's starting off with a with a memory of of benjamin sisco losing his wife of her being killed in the attack and the grief and the sadness of benjamin sisco over time will only be overtaken by the anger that he feels at those who caused his wife's death and this is where we're going to use this teaching device today to realize that if i believe in loss then then sadness must be an experience that comes from loss if i believe in loss then anger is an is an experience that must come from that belief in loss it's starting to teach us that everything that we believe about the past and the future is connected to the belief in loss and sacrifice everything without exception and sometimes we like to be very sentimental and we get very sentimental these are the good old days you know all back in the good old days remember in those pre-pandemic days you know what remember those pre-pandemic days how good they were or think back to your childhood oh yeah great childhood memories i would say jesus is is a fan of the present moment and he's a fan of eternity but he's not really a fan of sentimentality or nostalgia jesus is not nostalgic he's present he's he knows that all joy is now and that no joy is past and no joy is future so so benjamin sisco is going to have a memory of of his wife being killed he's going to have an anger come up that he is angry with anything and anyone that is associated with his wife's death and then he's going to be given a he's going to be given an assignment and you might say that assignments in this world seem very specific the people that we relate with the people that are our partners our friends our colleagues our co-workers the people that are our parents our children are part of a constellation of images that we have mistakenly identified with this we're really beyond all these images but we have mistakenly identified with this constellation sometimes it's called family constellations we've mistakenly identified our mind with this constellation and we've tried to put find the love inside of the constellation you see how dangerous that is if the if the love isn't in the constellation if it's in god but we look for it in the family constellation then we look for it where it's not and guess what we're very disappointed very very very disappointed when that love does not show up in that constellation what does show up is a mix of love happiness joy guilt pain shame ooh a nasty mix that's in that constellation because it's not pure it's not god that that is a projection of the ego and it is not god as much as we would try to attach love to the characters it doesn't work and then in the case of Cisco you know he he has he has a wife Jennifer and he has a son Jake and and he considers himself maybe the luckiest man in the universe to have a wife and a child that he loves the only problem is is when his wife is killed oh wow does that throw the wrench in everything because suddenly his constellation is broken and all of us know how that feels it's very very painful with the broken constellation so what will happen is he will be given an assignment and all of us have assignments you might say using letting the Holy Spirit use these images that we call people family friends colleagues and so forth co-workers and and the Holy Spirit has to use the figures to take the mind into a leaping off point where it realizes that it was completely mistaken about everything the only way that it can go back to the light is realize that it made everything up with the ego and it was completely absolutely mistaken about absolutely everything everything it judged as good events and bad events no mistaken everything it judged as events that even happen mistaken Jesus is has to take us to the point of seeing that everything of perception everything of the five senses has been used made invented by the ego to keep us blind from seeing the truth of who we are and that is what spiritual awakening is so in this episode we're going to follow Benjamin Cisco as he goes through his assignment and I think probably the most wondrous thing will happen is he he will get an assignment to go to the surface of a planet called Bajor and and then when he lands in Bajor the first person that he meets is the religious leader of Bajor and I noticed Kai in the peace house hi Kai Kai's right there that's the name of the the huge mystical leader today in this movie you're you're showing up I was just thinking of you before this movie and I looked on the screen and I was just thinking of Kai and there's Kai so one of the big figures in this movie is going to be a woman who is called Kai Opaka and your last name is Opaka but you can just imagine Kai Opaka is going to be the symbol in Benjamin Cisco's dreamscape that's basically going to be like the prophet she's going to be like the prophetess and she's basically going to have to keep reminding him that he has to look within for answers look within for answers she's our Jesus figure in the movie today this time Jesus is taking the form of Kai Opaka look within the answers lie within even though he's going through all these intense human emotions and he's going through this intense undoing she is going to say look within and she will be part of an assignment where he comes thinking he's the helper he's going to help her and the planet and he doesn't realize he's not there to help her and the planet really he's there to remember who he really is as the light and that's what happens with all of our assignments we always take our earthly assignments too seriously we always think they're too important the lesson behind our earth assignments is to remember the truth to remember the love to remember the oneness to remember God that's that's the lesson but we take our earth assignments and they're just constellations that the light is using to help us remember the love but we can't we can't take the means so seriously when the end is to remember God in fact when we remember God that we won't even remember the means there'll be no memory of anything of time and space it will just be pure love so sit back and enjoy today I think that's enough context and this is not like a massive movie this is just one episode but we're going to go so deeply into one Star Trek episode that we're actually going to allow the spirit to use just this one short episode from 1993 to take us on a journey where we've always wanted to go you know people say do you want to go to Bermuda or Bali do you want to go to the North Pole and really in our heart we're saying no I want to go to the light I want to I mean even ET said phone home we want to go home to the kingdom of heaven within us which is our true state of being our true state of mind so sit back and enjoy I will make much commentary on this brief little segment here we're this is going to be not too much film time and more David contact commentary time because when we start to go toward the light be ready we're going to be facing all of our beliefs when we come in contact with the light today there's not many times you we go directly to the light but today we are going right to the light we're going directly to the light no middle no middle things middle metaphors we're going right for the for the light this time so enjoy sit back and enjoy
