 Welcome to our all-day movie workshop. I'm Peter, it's good to see you all. And yeah, we've got a movie I haven't seen before and many of the ones here in the community haven't seen, so I'm quite looking forward to this. So for those who are new, I will run through how the day will flow. We're going to start with the movie, shown by David. And then afterwards, we're going to have a 10-minute break. And then we will have our breakout rooms where you can share your experiences, anything that came up during the movie. And then afterwards, we'll have a 45-minute break. And then I'll be holding the closing session. So it's a great day coming up. I'll pass it over to you now, David. So grateful. So grateful that we're all here and we can experience this deep experience of going inward together. And so today's movie, as always, is a response to the beautiful themes that you voted on during the week. And we have kind of some unique themes this week and we have a pretty unique movie. We don't often get to show movies where there's a lot of telepathy and mind reading going on in the movie. Most movies, you just have to listen to the characters. But we were recently treated with the movie Violet. So I know a lot of you enjoyed that. You could hear the ego's voice in her mind as a male voice. And then you could read some of her thoughts and her nudges that were printed on the screen. And we had another movie within the past year called Chaos Walking, which was another glimpse at really being able to hear audible voices. And this is something that is very rare in movies, because there's not a lot of movies that use these techniques. Some of you know there's really classic movies too, like Beautiful Mind, a beautiful mind, which really kind of took us all into the realm of what seems to be schizophrenia, which is seeing multiple people, imaginary people and hearing them speak to you. So that's a pretty good glimpse too at the multiple voices that go on in the mind. And for most human beings, they're able to have a train of thought that they call their own. And then occasionally they feel like there's a lot of judgments and opinions, and sometimes you call it the committee is meeting when you feel very confused and you have a lot of different conflicting thoughts in your mind. Some people call that the committee. That's what Violet called it to her best friend in the movie. So we have another movie that I showed over the last year called Words on Bathroom Walls, which was the life of basically a teenager who's dealing with a diagnosis of schizophrenia. All of these movies that I've mentioned just help us get more experientially in touch with the mind that what we're dealing with with a course in miracles is definitely mind training. And this is not unusual on the spiritual journey. I mean, a lot of traditional religions may not emphasize mind training, but if you go into mysticism and you go into the writings of the mystics and saints throughout the centuries, you will see there's a huge emphasis on mind training. And definitely a course in miracles has a huge emphasis on mind training. It's basically a book that kind of meets the reader wherever they seem to be in their consciousness and then takes them on a journey of very strong mind training to empty the mind of everything that it thinks it thinks and thinks it knows and come into a pristine state of silence, a pristine state of innocence and joy. It's actually a state of light that we're opening up to. And we're not talking about perceptual light. We're talking about the wisdom, the I am light of God, the light of creation. So I think we have a rare movie because first of all, this is a relationship movie. Second of all, this is one in which two of the main characters, I'll say the two main characters in the movie are basically Joshua Lazarus is the name of the main character. So you know you're in for a ride when the main character's name's Joshua Lazarus. And then Anna is a woman that he's going to meet. Both are very, very telepathic. Both can use the ability of their mind to read the thoughts of those that they come in contact with. And in this movie, those that are telepathic and can read the minds of others are called scopers. So there's a lot of scoping going on in this movie. And for many human beings, it's like, oh, that's a little, that's, that's spooky. Scoping sounds spooky, but, but anybody who studied psychology or psychotherapy or parapsychology, for example, knows that there's a lot of psychic abilities that are really natural to us, but are just repressed and pushed out of awareness. So this movie today will take us into a much deeper experience of what Jesus is speaking about in A Course in Miracles. Most of the course is written using the language pointing us to forgiveness as Jesus taught 2000 years ago, forgive and you shall be forgiven. Knock and the door shall be opened. Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven and all else will be added unto you. And when we come to this movie today and we look at what he's teaching us in the Course, we see that Jesus is taking us to that pristine state of the I am presence that is prior to time. So in the Bible, Jesus taught before Abraham was I am, he reached a state of mind. The Christ essence that all of us are. That's our true identity. We were created by God as, as the Christ in spirit. And this I am presence is completely covered over by the veil of linear time and space. So, wow, we're on a deep ride together. I see my friend Craig made it in. Nice. Nice to see you, Craig. He's joining us for the first time. And we have about, I think there's about 67 people here total in the room from all around the world from different continents and so on and so forth. And we've come together to go into an experience today. To really enjoy the experience. So, there is a topic and of course in miracles that it's spoken about, but it's so deep that basically it doesn't get a lot of print in terms of text. And of course in miracles because it's, it's a, it's a synonym for revelation, which is just pure light. Revelation is like a glimpse of eternity. Revelation is, is give us a glimpse of the end. It literally gives a direct experience of the light. And that is, Jesus says so, so rare. It's very rare. Even in the context of dictating, of course, in miracles, he said it's, it's very rare and most people in their entire lifetimes will not have a revelatory experience. It's, it's that rare. It's not something that is common among an entire lifetime. I shared some of my revelatory experiences and I see Helena Hoonissen, she had a revelatory experience, but it's, they're, they're very rare and Jesus speaks of the Holy instant, which is really what he's talking about with this revelation. And he says it's impossible to prepare for the Holy instant without placing it in the future. So I'll say that again, because for human beings, it's like, uh-oh, that's, that's, that's a problem. If it's impossible to prepare for the Holy instant without placing it in the future. And if the Holy instant is the present moment, then basically Jesus is saying, you can't actually prepare for it, but you can desire it. If you desire it with all your heart, your soul, your mind, if you desire it as your number one priority, if you desire the light, you will experience the light. And the Holy instant is, is something that you can, it's not like you can prepare for it, but by desiring it, you can bring it into awareness. You can, you can draw that experience of the direct connection with God into your awareness. I had three revelatory experiences many years ago that were kind of sequenced fairly close to each other in the parable of David within a span of months. But all I can say is that when it happened to me, it was very, very surprising. And the figure ground of three dimensionality completely collapsed. So it was like suddenly I was looking at a painting. The world became very like flat, like a veil, like a painting. And then, and then in between the, where the figure ground is like I was, I was doing an open-eyed gazing meditation with a friend of mine and around her head where head and the background, what was behind her was that, that was the little slit where this blazing light started to come through. And then it basically overcame my whole perception and the world disappeared. So I've had three revelatory experiences where it was just, everything was light, everything was one, everything was perfectly known, everything was love. And Jesus says, you know, it's not transferable. You can't, we don't speak of these things because, you know, it's not something that you can really share. Perceptions you can share. Oh, isn't it a beautiful day? Oh, don't you think this opinion and that opinion, what do you think? Those are sharing perceptual ideas and concepts, but revelation is the I am presence prior to time. And so what I like about today's movie is, it's a relationship movie, but our main two characters, Joshua Lazarus and Anna are actually going to, to go into what they call a merge. It's like a mind merge. And they actually are going to go into the light. It's just, they're going into a blazing light. And it's, it's going to be scary for both of them because they, they have never experienced it before. And the fear will come up after that. It's the ego's reaction to the light that is the fear. The light is pure love, but the, but the ego, the belief in separation from God is what generates the fear. I know when, when my revelation experiences, when they seem to end, it was almost like coming back into a space capsule and to planet earth and it was a bit disorienting. It was disjunctive. I felt confused. I felt when I look back at earth, when I seem to come back, it was like, what is this? It had no meeting point with the light, you know, it was like the kingdom of heaven is not of this world. And the light is not of this world. And, and so I pierced the veil and then there was a pretty strong disorientation and some, some shock and fear at, at coming back to perception. So as usual, we have these movie gatherings every Saturday and here are the themes that you voted for. This is what you prayed for. And I just prayed to Jesus to give us a movie that will allow us all to go into a very deep experience around the themes as like springboards. So basically what we came up with this week is number one coming in is piercing the veil of perception. So now when you see this movie, you'll know why Jesus picked this movie. You voted among all the themes you wanted piercing the veil of perception. The second one you voted for was a quiet mind is no small gift. I think all of us can resonate with that, you know, whenever we've had moments of, of tranquility, of serenity, of deep abiding peace, we have so much gratitude and so much love because our mind is starting to bask in the actual experience of what it means to be a child of God. That deep peace is no small gift. It is actually a taste, a recognition, a remembrance of who we are of our true identity. So that's the second one. A quiet mind is no small gift. I think a lot of us know too that, that when we start to get more tuned in and we start to get more relaxed, we actually do start to become more telepathic. I remember back around 1990, I was going up to the foundation for A Course in Miracles to visit Ken and Gloria Wopnick up there in the Catskill Mountains. And I remember one of my visits, I was in a very, very telepathic phase. I mean, my mind seemed, I was so merged in kind of the flow of miracles that my mind seemed more like a giant satellite dish. You know, it was, I was picking up everything. I was picking up people's thoughts and I would go into a room where it was like I was hearing all of these thoughts and I was feeling their feelings too. And I happened to meet another woman there who was from Great Britain who lived there and who worked there. And she was going through this huge telepathic phase as well. So both of us were going through this huge telepathic phase. And we were so happy to discover this. And that's what happens in this movie between Joshua Lazarus and Anna. They're both very strong telepaths. They're very telepathic, they're empathic, they can feel feelings, they can read thoughts, and then they discover each other and it's kind of a bit of a shock because Joshua Lazarus, he knows how rare it is to be able to read thoughts and she's more intuitive like she hasn't worked with the teacher. She's never tried to train her mind in any kind of structured way. It's just her intuitive way of being has led her into this ability to intuitively pick up people's thoughts. So one is more trained and developed in terms of trying to do it that way with the teacher and the other is just an intuitive telepathic person who in this movie is called a scoper. One scoper discovering another scoper. And when two scopers get together, whoa, the private thoughts that we try to hide and keep hidden, the ones that we try to keep out of awareness, the ones we sometimes think, oh, I'm glad people don't know that about me. Because if they knew that, they wouldn't look at me the same. They wouldn't treat me the same. And I'd even be my friend if they knew some of my private thoughts, they may just stay away from me when here we have two scopers coming together and it's the journey. We're all going to enjoy this journey. And when Dorothy and I came together at Foundation for Course and Miracles, it turned kind of into a joke because we would both be walking down a path together and we would both pick up the thoughts. And sometimes Dorothy would just spin around real quick, kind of spin in the direction of where the thoughts seem to be coming from. And we would both burst into laughter. And we would say, oh, I'm so glad you're here. I was wondering if I was really strange and weird. And now you're going through the same phase that I am. So I think Jesus was just being kind to Dorothy and I by having us meet. And we didn't know it back then, but according to this movie, we were scoping. And we were a bit uncomfortable with the scope. Our antennas were wide open and we were not used to picking up thoughts like that. So it's just a phase you go through. Actually, all minds are joined. So when you connect and you purify your heart and you really clear your consciousness up, then yes, you will, you will pick up a lot of thoughts. Jesus even has a section in the manual for teachers where the question is asked of Jesus, how do God's teachers deal with magic thoughts? And when he talks about magic thoughts, he's talking about these, these private thoughts that are picked up. Jesus did it. Some of you all remember in the Bible where he was with some, some, I think some scribes and Pharisees and he was talking with them in a group. And then this woman comes in and she, the, the priest, the high priest know her as a prostitute. She comes in, she's got all these linen, these oils, liniments and so forth. She gets down on her knees. She starts to put the oils on Jesus's feet. And then she uses her hair to, to brush the oils off. And all of the people in the room are judging her thinking, how, how, how does he even, you know, interact with somebody who is in their eyes, a sinner. And Jesus picks up all their thoughts and basically uses it as a teaching device. Like, why are you judging her? You don't know this woman's heart. I can, I feel her heart. I feel her love. She's on the ground and she's putting oils on my feet. And he felt the love and the sincerity of this woman who came in, but the high priest were all judging the woman and Jesus was picking up all their thoughts. And then he turned it into a teaching device. This is what Jesus wants us to do. Even when we get more telepathic is he wants us to use, he wants us to use, give the telepathic skill to the Holy Spirit. So the Holy Spirit can use it for healing purposes because psychic abilities are not positive or negative. It's just that if you give your psychic abilities, which really are natural abilities for the mind in truth, if you give them to the Holy Spirit, then the Holy Spirit will use them for the blessing of the whole universe, for the blessing of the whole sunship. And the ego will try to use these same abilities to, for pride, for arrogance, to keep you in a separate self, self concept. So the ego is quite ingenious, but it's, it's what use, what is the purpose for these abilities? That's the most important factor. That's what we're trying to discern. We're getting clear and clear on the Holy Spirit's purpose and use of everything in this world, the purpose of money, the purpose of, of anything we've learned in our, in our history, the purpose of any possessions that we seem to have or anything that's in the world, our language, our language skills, everything that we have is basically our consciousness that the ego made, and then the Holy Spirit can use anything that the ego made to free us from the ego. And that's how this, this works. So, so the third one is staying in true empathy, no matter what, that just means staying aligned with the spirit, no matter what's happening on the screen of the movie of your, of your world, no matter what you perceive in your dream world, the purpose is to stay in alignment with the Holy Spirit. And this is what Jesus calls true empathy, which is staying with what's real and true. It's staying with the Holy Spirit, staying with Jesus. False empathy would be, would be trying to join with error. So if you try to join with sickness, that's false empathy. If you try to join with pride, that's false empathy. If you try to win somebody's favor by complimenting them over and over, that's false empathy. Most of the things that human beings are accustomed to from their past is false empathy. It's just, it's living in error and not realizing the truth that is beyond the veil. And Jesus wants us to experience, to pierce the veil and experience the truth of our being. And in order to do that, we have to be right-minded as he calls it in the Course. We have to be miracle-minded. We have to be lined up. And more than that, we have to be consistently miracle-minded, where we become so under the direction of Jesus and the Holy Spirit that we listen and follow whatever instructions that are given us, like the workbook lesson in the Course. I will step back and let him lead the way. He also says in the workbook, it is possible to listen to only one voice. It's possible to listen to the voice for God all throughout the day without interrupting your regular activities in any way. Isn't that wonderful? Without interrupting your regular activities in any way, you can listen to one voice. Hallelujah. That's the most practical thing I've ever heard in my life. So we are supposed to become more and more consistently miracle-minded. And then when Jesus is really guiding us and we're in the miracle-mindedness, he says, under my direction, guidance will lead to revelation. Well, that's how we get into revelation. Not by formulas, not by rituals, not by all kinds of things the world would tell us we have to do. We have to eat the right things. We have to say the right things. We have to perform these rituals so many times a day. Jesus is saying, no, no, just come into alignment with my mind. Let your mind be one with the mind that is Christ Jesus. And then you will still look like you're a human being. And Jesus did too. He looked pretty human to the body's eyes. He looked very human. But he heard only one voice. And that's why he could say things like, I and the Father are one because it was true. He was a fact. That's why he could say, no one except you become his little children. You can't enter the kingdom of heaven is because he had entered the kingdom of heaven in a state of mind. So he knew what that meant. He was God dependent. Like little infants are dependent on their mother and their parents. And so even when Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father, but through me, that was the Holy spirit. That was the universal spirit speaking and inviting all of humankind throughout all of history to come back into the oneness of God's love. That's all that was. And the mouthpiece was Jesus. You know, so Jesus was, he was the same as all of us in form. He looked very human, but he was divine. And he was completely divine. And we know that because he even did a little skit at the end of his life called the crucifixion resurrection. To basically leave a little calling card like, and by the way, you can't kill the son of God. I did a little skit for you there, but do this and remember it to me. Remember my love. Remember my, my compassion. Remember my kindness. Remember my friendliness. Do this and remember it to me. And now it's called the sacraments in some churches, you know, Holy Communion, but he wasn't trying to set a ritual in motion for centuries. He was just saying, remember my love. Every time you sit down to eat. That's all he meant, you know, he wasn't trying to make a special thing. He was just saying, remember my love. Because he knew human beings would be eating for many, many, many, many centuries. And he was just giving a reminder of that. I am present. Okay. Oh, here's the next one. Resign now as my own teacher. Jesus tells us that in the course he says, he does come right out and say, resign now as your own teacher, because he says, you, you have taught what you are, meaning your, your beliefs and your thoughts teach you who you are, meaning human. You have taught what you are, but you have not allowed what you are to teach you. You see the difference. So that's why he says, resign as your own teacher, because he's saying, you need a divine inner teacher to wake up from this dream. You're not going to find it by looking outside yourself in time and space, because the ego made linear time and space. So the ego is not going to put your teacher there. The Holy Spirit can use people as symbols of what your internal being knows and, and as reflectors of that. So we have so much gratitude for Jesus and all of the great teachers throughout the centuries and all of the traditions and the mystics and saints, because they were beautiful reflections. I was just thinking of St. Francis this morning. And I just have so much love and gratitude when I think of St. Francis. And I know another one of my beloveds that I, I really adored listening to for years is Wayne Dyer. He's more, much more contemporary. So I think a lot of you know of Wayne Dyer, but when Wayne Dyer went over to a CC, he had such a mystical experience just visiting the chapel and the place where St. Francis had lived back in the, I guess in the 1200s. That's a long time ago, because Jesus has even further, further back. But basically all I'm saying is, is when we're intuitive and when we become telepathic, and then when we let the Holy Spirit and Jesus use our telepathic abilities, then we start to go into blessed are the pure of heart for they shall see God. Then we start to have what we have revelations. We have, we are enraptured by a love not of this world. And then we finally get a direct experience of what this is all about before we'll say we were clueless, but as soon as we start to place everything under the Holy Spirit and Jesus, then we start to become so aligned and our mind becomes so highly mind-trained that you, we don't have a bad day. If you don't have a bad day when, when you really come into alignment, you know, every day you want to make a joy, joyful noise unto the Lord. Like the Bible says, make a joyful noise unto the Lord. Okay. The last one is gratitude alone is due each brother. Why is gratitude alone to each brother is because each brother, each sister is just reflecting to us what is in our consciousness. And we need that. We need help to get in touch with what's in our consciousness. So that means every brother, every sister that we think of or we meet in person is basically doing us a favor. And the favor is I'm going to help show you what is in your mind, what you're still believing in, what you're still harboring in, what you're still holding on to in today's movie. That's the big thing, you know, Joshua Lazarus, he, he thinks he's just a highly sought after scoper. And, and then when he meets Anna, they, they go into each other's minds, so to speak, all minds who joined and, and immediately he says, you know, she's a bit frightened of somebody scoping her mind. And she basically is, is a bit concerned like, listen, you're in my mind now and there's some things I don't really want you to see in this mind. And, and he's like, that's all right. You can block me. So, so this is how when scopers come together. Okay, you can block, you can block me just, just block and hide the things that you don't want to show me. And he's like, and I'll do the same. I'll block, I'll block my thing. But, but the thing about it is Jesus is there with us going, oh, come on. You're not going to come to know the truth by blocking. This is a football game. This is, this is my training and coming to know the light. And so I want you to learn to have faith and trust and build confidence so that you don't block thoughts and you don't repress them and you don't suppress them. You just let them come and you give them over to the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit will take the thoughts away. Once you have offered them freely and voluntarily, the Holy Spirit will take those thoughts away from you. So I did ask Jesus this morning, I said, well, you've got such a beautiful Course in Miracles book. Is there something, is there something that I could read from the Course that will help everybody as like, help everybody get ready for this movie? Because we don't have a lot of telepathic movies. So once we get a telepathic movie, it's, you, you can see so much. You get so many insights if your mind is, is ready to receive. So here's what Jesus gave me today. This, this first one is from chapter 15. And it's from section four. And here's what Jesus had to tell us today before the movie. The Holy Instant is a time in which you receive and give perfect communication. This means, however, that it is the time in which your mind is open, both to receive and to give. It is the recognition that all minds are in communication. It therefore seeks to change nothing, but merely to accept everything. How can you do this when you would prefer to have private thoughts and keep them? The only way you could do that would be to deny the perfect communication that makes the Holy Instant what it is. If you believe you can harbor thoughts you would not share, and that salvation lies in keeping thoughts to yourself alone. For in private thoughts known only to yourself, you think you find a way to keep what you would have alone and share what you would share. And then you wonder why it is that you are not in full communication with those around you and with God who surrounds all of you together. So in that paragraph, he's basically saying, your common belief is that you can decide which thoughts you share and which thoughts you don't share. And that's a human belief. That's part of the human nature. So I'm going to share something with you and sometimes when you share something that you feel is potentially dangerous or you feel like the thought that you're sharing needs to be protected, then you can see why some thoughts are kept secret, because there's a fear that some thoughts could be dangerous if they're shared. And that's why human beings are used to having secrets. And I would even go so far as saying humans are used to having lots of secrets. And what Jesus is telling us here is, you're not going to go into the I am presence. You're not going to go into the light. You're not going into the Holy instant. If you have thoughts that you would not share completely. Now Jesus, of course, is a way shower. So he showed us an example of that. Every thought that he had in his enlightened, self-realized state of mind was a thought that he shared with God. So he was happy to share them all. He didn't hold any of them back. And of course, the ego is not very happy with this at all. We know people, they turned into a murderous mob with his gentle presence and sharing these thoughts of God, because this world was made by the ego, this linear time-space world. So when Jesus was just sharing only the thoughts that he shared with God, then the ego was really stirred up like a hornet's nest. Almost like, how dare you speak those words? And how dare you even say that before Abraham was I am? That's when the priests started to pick up rocks or think of getting rocks to stone him. You've got to realize that's got to be to the high priest. That's the most arrogant thing you can say is that before Abraham was I am. They just like, you young 34-year-old whippersnapper, you are talking about Abraham, one of our traditional leaders, the father of our tribe, the father of Israel. And you're saying before Abraham was I am, it's like, how arrogant? And all Jesus was doing was telling the truth. He was just telling the God's truth. And that's the Pharisees and the scribes were extremely angry with that. Now here, I'm going to continue on because this gets very interesting. Jesus says, every thought you would keep hidden shuts communication off. Because you would have it so. It is impossible to recognize the perfect communication while breaking communication holds value for you to you. Ask yourself honestly, would I want to have perfect communication? And am I wholly willing to let everything that interferes with it go forever? If the answer is no. Then the Holy Spirit readiness to give it to you is not enough to make it yours. For you are not ready to share it with him. And it cannot come into a mind that has decided to oppose it. For the Holy Incident is given and received with equal willingness being the acceptance of the single will that governs all thought. So the single will that governs all thought is God's will. And since God is the creator of reality, which is spirit, then what we're doing is we're we're here to practice forgiveness of releasing all of the judgments. That's why Jesus said, judge not that should be judged. And in the end, we're here to develop so much trust in the Holy Spirit and Jesus that we hand all of our past thoughts, all of our regrets, all of our thoughts of what went right and wrong in our past and hand over all of our future thoughts and connect with the spirit of the present moment, which is the Holy Spirit and Jesus and learn to live in divine providence. That is something that I talk about. I've talked about divine providence for the last 35 years because it's a living experience. And when you when you live in it, all it is is you're just letting Holy Spirit and Jesus use the symbols. It doesn't mean that your life has to look a certain way and form. It just means that you let the Holy Spirit and Jesus direct you moment by moment and use the symbols for a blessing without trying to control the symbols. You see, you let Jesus and the Holy Spirit do the directing. They do the orchestrating. They they orchestrate the people, the places, the situations, and you are the observer. You are learning to be the observer, the dreamer of the dream, not a figure in the dream, because all of us that have identified with the dream figures know we have had guilt. That's that was our experience in time and space. We didn't even know why we felt guilty. We thought, I'm only human. Remember that song? I'm your only human born to make mistakes. Jesus is like, no, actually, you are divine. And the ego has set up the world to make you feel guilty by using its interpretations of you and its interpretations of your identity as a body. And Jesus is saying, listen, we have an eternal creator. We are an eternal spirit. We always have been the kingdom of heaven is not an earthly kingdom. It's a spiritual kingdom of love and light. And you won't ever be happy completely on earth because you have to go toward that light to know what happiness truly is. He says at one point in the text, he said, a son of God is only happy in the environment that was created for him. So God created us a spiritual environment. And we're happy in that spiritual environment. When we try to come away from that spiritual environment, I'll call it the I am presence. Then we, we get into problems because we're trying to be something we're not. We're trying to be something other than the perfect Christ that God created us. Okay, now, since this movie is a relationship movie, and since our main character, Joshua Lazarus is going to meet Anna, then there's going to be a huge opportunity when Joshua Lazarus and when Anna come together. Every time two people come together in in in person or even in thought, it's a huge opportunity. And Jesus calls it a holy encounter. He says when you meet anyone remember it's a holy encounter. As you see him, you will see yourself as you treat him. You will treat yourself as you think of him, you will think of yourself. So, so there's a huge opportunity to go to the light together. And this is what everybody's searching for in relationships. Everybody wants an intimacy that will last forever. Nobody wants a temporary happiness. Nobody, nobody really wants temporary peace of mind. We want it to last. We want joy. We want, we want it to be everlasting. And when these two characters come together, every time they come together, it's a huge, huge opportunity. And yet we know the ego wants to use the opportunity for its purposes. And what is the ego's purpose? Death, separation, division, conflict, competition, comparison. We know the ego is a very different purpose than what Jesus is offering us. So I'm going to read one little paragraph from the, from the next chapter, chapter 16, that this is our little torch. We need the torch. We need to hold this torch out when we watch these two come together. The Holy Spirit asks only this little help of you. Whenever your thoughts wander to a special relationship, which still attracts you, enter with him into a holy instant and there, let him release you. He needs only your willingness to share his perspective, to give it to you completely. And your willingness need not be complete because his is perfect. It is his task to atone for your unwillingness by his perfect faith. And it is his faith you share with him there. Out of your recognition of your unwillingness for your release, his perfect willingness is given you. Call upon him for heaven is at his call. So basically it's just saying, you don't have to have perfect willingness to reach the light. You don't have to have perfect willingness to heal. You just have to take your little willingness and call upon the strength of God, the strength of Jesus, the strength of the Holy Spirit. And just say, Lord, here I am. Here I am. I want to remember you. I want to be healed and happy and I am going to not hide anything from you. And this is the little willingness you bring to the altar of your mind that allows you to heal. Jesus says you cannot wake yourself, but you can allow yourself to be awakened. So he's telling us, allow yourself to come into alignment with the light. Just don't interfere with it. He's not telling us we actively have to fight for something or have to try to change something in the world. He's saying, allow yourself to merge with the light. And to give your own unwillingness to the Holy Spirit and say, here Holy Spirit, I have a present for you. It's my unwillingness. This is my meager gift I'm giving to you. And the Holy Spirit is like, yay, thank you, give that to me. I've been wanting to take that from you. It doesn't belong in your holy mind. You don't have to have resistance. Come, give it to me. You don't have to have doubt. Give it to me. You don't have to hold on to thoughts of vengeance. As it says in the Bible, vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord. He's saying, don't keep that thought of vengeance in your mind. Give it to me. Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord. I'll take it away from you. You'll never know hatred again. You'll be happy. You'll be joyful. You'll be grateful. You'll be appreciative. So that's our setup for today. I'll give you a little context too for the movie like I like to do, because a lot of times when we go into these movies, you know, it's like you're just going in kind of brand new. We're all going in brand new. The name of the movies today is called the speed of thought. The speed of thought. And it's, it's a 2011 movie. And basically when I saw this, this is a beautiful movie director who's made some amazing movies. His name is Evan Oppenheimer. And Evan Oppenheimer, he puts himself in the movie. I'll point him out when he shows up. I love it when directors are spunky enough to put themselves in the movie. He's going to insert himself inside the movie. But basically some of you maybe have, has anybody familiar with the X-Men series, the Marvel comedy or comic X-Men? Some of you know in X-Men basically we have, we have the professor and he's working with a school of children about her, the mutants. And basically he's trying to work with the students and teach them how to channel their mutations, their abilities. They have, some of them have extraordinary physical and psychic abilities, but he's trying to teach them, you're not a freak. You're not an outcast. You are loved and your abilities can be put to a higher calling. And that's basically what X-Men is. That's what the professor is trying to do it. And actually the professor can read minds. That's one of his, he's the scoper in the X-Men series. Our professor is the scoper. He's a telepath and he has a very powerful mind and he wants to use it with these gifted children. And that's how all of them that are very famous, they all come under his care. And this movie uses that same symbol. There's the school, there's a school for gifted children. I think it's called, yeah, that's just it. It's a school of gifted children. And I think it's in New York City. Also, I think I've showed you, you know, we've, we've watched some of you've seen A Beautiful Mind, which was a great movie around schizophrenia. And we did watch Words on Bathroom Walls, which basically got into the mind of this teenager and his, what he was facing on a daily basis. But in this movie, we have Joshua Lazarus as the main character. Anna, he will meet and that will be the beginning of them opening to a holy relationship. Opening to merge minds in order to have an expansive experience of love, of true love. And then there's a man named Sandy who's kind of, he's Joshua Lazarus' kind of teacher and mentor. He's in the movie. We have another scoper who's in the movie called Kira. And basically slowly as we move into this movie, we're going to see how do you go from being telepathic to opening your heart up and to experiencing the light. Because that's all of our journeys. We're here to join with our brothers and sisters in such a deep way that we let down our defense mechanisms. We let down our psychological shields and we open up. And whenever these two merge, they simply open their hands up like this in a very welcoming way. Almost like they're totally open. Even the body has the arms out and the hands out. In other words, come. There's not a sense of defensiveness. It's like come, come and join. Let's be of one heart. Let's be of one mind. And as we do this, we're going to find that all of the unconscious blocks will come automatically to the surface. We don't have to go digging in our unconscious mind to try to find them. As we allow ourselves to be used by Jesus and the Holy Spirit, those unconscious blocks will surface. So we don't have to dig. It's not like you have to go to a psychotherapist and go digging every week. You have to just be in the prayer of your heart. Use me. Jesus, use me. Use me for the blessing of everyone. Use me for the blessing of all my brothers and sisters. And then whatever is blocking me from knowing the truth of who I am and who they are and who you are, then all that will just come up. And slowly we get more confident in letting it go. At the beginning, it's a little shocking. It runs against everything we have ever learned in our history. So that's why it's shocking. But the more we come together with brothers and sisters with the same purpose, then it gets easier and easier. And we become much more confident. Confident that we will experience the light of who we are and who everyone is. So enjoy the movie. We will have a movie with little pauses and commentary throughout it. And then we'll have a short pause. And then we have a few people that are brand new. We will have a breakout room so you can break out and zoom to talk to others that have just experienced this movie. And you can talk and express what your feelings are. You can listen to what they experienced. And we call these breakout rooms. And so it's a beautiful zoom feature. And then after that, there'll be a time where you can maybe have a rest break or have a meal. And then Pete will be back for more Q&A for everybody to interact together on the big screen at the end of the day. So this is why we call it all day movie workshop and it's a huge interaction with people all over the world that are of like mind and that are really wanting to open to this purpose and share this purpose. So sit back. Enjoy. Enjoy the movie. I love you all. I'm so glad you're with me. And enjoy it. And Craig, thanks for joining in with us today. We're so glad you're here. And we will. And I think by the end of the movie, I will make an announcement. Some of you have been waiting about doing a movie retreat with me, like in person movie retreat. And we finally are ready to put that together. And so if any of you want to come and join me for a movie retreat, maybe it's like six, five or six days or so, you'll have your opportunity today. I'll just say that much right now. I'll say a little bit more at the end of the movie before, before I bid you farewell. So enjoy the movie and have a wonderful time. And I'm with you all the way through this.
