 Okay, well, we have first of our Christmas movie since it's snowing even though it's still in November we're up in the high altitude so we can Go with the flow and this this movie fits well with the the weather outside. So that was a factor in Choosing it. So it's a great forgiveness movie. It's It's it's a little bit like some of the movies we've been watching Searching for Sugarman, you know Sugarman wasn't consciously trying to do anything and all these miracles unfolded and and This is a good movie too for Seeing that the miracle is always happening regardless of whatever you think you can do to make it happen or Prevent it from happening Miracles are involuntary and so it's a comedy but When I first got this tip years ago to watch it somebody told me there is a paradise Pennsylvania they have a lot of little towns in Pennsylvania named after All kinds of very interesting things. So this is one of them. This is paradise and And it's it's a perfect script for teaching forgiveness and love and For seeing the Christ, you know, it's like everybody in this world when they seem to see all this Error and grievances and everything and then they've got this struggle to try to go back to try to see the innocence this little tiny town in Pennsylvania at Christmas time it's just got a lot of really wonderful people in it that are good at Seeing the Christ seeing the good seeing the innocent It's like natural for them. And so When you get these three brothers I think it's the New York City the Furpo brothers Coming down to this beautiful little town in paradise Pennsylvania then you have a perfect setup for Seeing the Christ and showing and demonstrating that so they are just being themselves and They get put into what consider many would consider more extreme situations Bank robbery hostages their town having all these Federal agents descending on it all kinds of things and yet they're just simple folks who love And they just see the Christ and so it's a contrast Between judgment and innocence is really what this is. It just shows you how heartwarming innocence is and how bizarre and crazy judgment is and On top of that. Oh, it's a comedy So you get a comedy Christmas music. I mean, we've seen wonderful life There's a lot of great movies, but they a lot of them can be quite dramatic even though this seemingly Has drama It's more like the man who knew too little. I don't think the people really get too hung up on everything that's happening because They just have this goodness Inside them. So so I think you'll really enjoy this one Laugh your way through and believe me these Furpo brothers You know There's two comedians and Nicholas Cage Play the play that so it's like You know Nicholas Cage is so spectacular that he's just a great actor and then you take two basically world-class comedians that play his two brothers one Who is a kleptomaniac who cannot help but steal just about anything that comes near him and the other is Like a perpetual kind of liar He just lies and lies and lies and lies with a face with a big smile on his face So those that's Nicholas's cages, you know, they're in prison. They get out and he's got to Hang around with his brothers and so he gets lots of opportunities to practice forgiveness and And it's even got a little bit of romance and it's a little bit of a It's got a undercurrent of a romantic comedy in there, too Among all of that forgiveness movie Christmas movie comedy and actually it's at the very end. You'll see that it comes around a bit with a romantic comedy But it's it's one that you won't soon forget Until you ascend you won't forget this one Okay That's Sweet Very very sweet That final scene was like that's That's what the the courses and Jesus are asking to do is to bring everything back to mind that was they were all together in the You know being interrogated by the federal agent, but if you bring everything back to your mind, that's what the forgiveness is That everything's mind. It's the belief that that That ideas can leave their source that thoughts can leave the mind of the thinker and take on life of their own that's what human beings seem to be Bodies with a life of their own or Animals with a life of their own or a world With the life of its own to beginning and an end That's that's what the error is and the the correction is seeing that there's nothing outside of the mind So there is not a split between thoughts and the manifestation of Thoughts because ideas leave not their source in heaven God never left or Christ never left God and in this world the thoughts of the thinker never left the mind of the thinker So all the private thoughts eventually you get exposed and then there's of course There's no blame because nobody did anything wrong or did anything to anybody else. That was all the attempt to project the thoughts But in the end There is no projection. God didn't create projection so the idea of seeing something outside of you is a completely erroneous Idea concept so it's it's really beautiful how they all came together And then there was no no finger-pointing. In fact, there was the opposite of that. It was just They were all happy and then even the federal agent says, you know Chance like this is not going to come come around again It doesn't come around. That's the forgiveness forgiveness for given world So it's very profound the idea that they actually gave the money back In the course of miracles Jesus is and the Holy Spirit are really saying you think you took Something away from God Give it back What you thought you took away Whatever you thought you took autonomy separation your mind Give it back give your mind back to God because that's What it is in reality it was created by God and you can't tear yourself away from God So it's just this tiny little puff of nothing that Is this belief in separation and And you have to give that back to give it over So you can give your mind back. That's Because it's a belief that you can have a separate mind a private mind with private thoughts That's what the whole little puff is and when you when you give it back when you give your mind back then That's the solution So it's not that there are private thoughts it's You know, you really you're surrendering this whole crazy idea and private minds with private thoughts And there was all this lying and all the secrecy, but there was that one classic scene where they're all three there and there was this Everything was coming up and the finger pointing was I have a suspicion And there were all three of them were throwing the fingers out there, but those were the This private thoughts the secrets again Everybody could feel it Didn't matter what the faces were looking like or whatever it was all just coming to the surface I remember seeing this movie years ago and I Had to thought well, this is pretty extreme. It was a pretty wacky movie, but then nowadays in today's times it just doesn't Seem wacky anymore, I Think the politics the things that are going on the Dakota pipeline which Diana will be addressing Soon and all the things that are going on And it's it's all the same. It's there's nothing more wacky Than anything else this one seemed to have all those extreme twists and turns, but it's like it's not It's not even dramatic anymore. We're getting to that point where there's no drama There's no drama and tripod is appearing in our movies I Channel tripod. No, I have told you But you must listen I Come to you as a cat. I come to you as a dog. I come to you as Monty Please heed my words Three legs or four it doesn't matter Don't be thrown off by the the form the disguise I am you and you are me By flying a trump card And they really wanted to be free of it particularly man guy and so he didn't And they kept trying to leave but it was like the cause must keep calling them back And then they tried to run away and leave but they didn't really want to they wanted to heal and they wanted to Really accept the love that was being offered with every attempt you could tell They're in mind calling them back again and again to keep receiving The love until finally it like it all got to the point that they said, okay, we're in We're gonna fully accept And then all the witnesses could just fully support them and say yes the past is gone Yeah Yeah, it's so it's very profound to think there's one part pretty late in the text where Jesus says that every Every second of every day you you either add something to the script or you take something away Which is really just a way of saying you still don't quite see that. It's all perfect And always has been perfect. It's just this nagging little thing Sometimes it says this could be a little bit better or that isn't so good. And so all these images and all these Seemings sequence and series of events are all just like this like a spinning top and just being used You know like that song It's Carol King saying only love is real Tracing a line till we can define the thing that allows us to feel only love is real You know, it's like it's a fine fine fine thing It's just it's just you get so surrendered and so surrendered And so taken in and so taken in that you have to go to a place of of not knowing about everything That's the secret of salvation is but this do not know the thing. I am what I'm doing where I'm going how to look upon the world salvation is Is coming to this awareness that That I cannot figure any of it out and and there's no way to figure any thing out and then That's where the acceptance comes in But it's just this little tweak in the mind where there's no attempt to add or subtract Anything from the script Nothing Nothing is out of place and and I remember for years There was one phase I went through where Where It was like it was all Training and just watching the script like Like if somebody would drop some money or or you go to a fast food place and You know how we're taught to really keep track of all the dollars and cents and And I would notice that I would have these little things happening where I Gave some money and and They they kept something or they didn't give me the change back that I thought I would have but I would go This is I know what this is and so I would I would just watch it. I wouldn't say Wait a minute. You owe me money or there'd be times where they Take some money and they would take more than I thought they should have taken like But I wouldn't I wouldn't attempt to make the correction Inform even in the most subtle Little ways because it was Jesus do you think Yes, this is what I'm teaching you it's This you're just watching what has already gone by you have to Take your mind out of the position where you're trying to interact with it Where you're trying to make something different you're trying to affect the world and that's That's what that line in that song the world will that's the song at the end the world will never The world will always stay the same. You'll never change it as long as the stars shine above and And that's exactly what Jesus is teaching the course seek not to change the world Seek to rather to change your mind about the world You've got to behold it You've got to to see you're the dreamer of the dream But if you're dreaming a dream It's just like if you were having a lucid dream at night and you were aware that you're dreaming you wouldn't Try to control the dream and that's the same opportunity that we get Every day is to go Into lucid dreaming that's all he's asking us to do and That's what all of our extensions are whether it's about Donald Trump or the North Dakota Pipeline or Some issue that it seems to be a controversial device of issue and everything is it's not an issue It really is not an issue. It's like the ego wants to make it an issue, but it's not an issue The world doesn't hold issues you know just one Issue is believing that that Christ could leave the mind of God one issue believing that Even in regard to this world that somehow there could be something outside of the mind And I've done so many talks over the years, but it's like The whole teaching of the workbook is that you can't You can't actually take an object and pull it apart from all the other objects in the cosmos That's what the separation is when you try to Take something out of all these trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions it keeps seemingly to multiply but if you try to take an image Out I was in Australia one time. I did a whole talk on a blue Blue bottle cap. There's a red bottle cap next. This is in but this couple of work you you can't really take an object out of all the objects and give it a name and Give it a color and give it a texture and give it a Substance Those are all meanings. I've given everything. I see all the meaning it has for me and he does go through the In the workbook. He says you could you could experience you could attain vision from a table If you would withdraw all your ideas from The table so we could do this with the blue bottle cap or red bottle cap or red cup You could attain the vision of Christ If you would just withdraw all the meaning That has been given it because you would then withdraw all the meaning that's been given Every thing all the seeming objects and that's why we talk about wholeness. That's that's why we're coming to wholeness and all this seeming guidance is Just about letting yourself drift deeper and deeper into the mind to just watch it and behold it That's what meditation is about just watching the thoughts there is no Meditation teacher in history that has encouraged you to hop on the train and ride the thoughts You're just supposed to watch Like Chauncey Gardner and being there. I'd like to watch You know, it's just it just comes down to that It's quite the art just to behold and watch and to offer up any judgments To the spirit not because they're wrong or right because but because they they don't have a In essence, I don't have a substance Our living MMT session Combined a couple things I've been trying to understand the ideas. We've got their source for about three years but also three or four years ago Just felt like that this mental wall and I kept pacing back and forth and there was this cartoon that assisted but I Realize that the wall itself was meaning and once I drop meaning and started seeing things No longer was a fork a fork a fork was a metal object Did I just drop the human meaning and I felt this rush of energy go through me and the infinite creativity and It was weird because it's like you get all this creativity, but it's still limited to the physical like I no longer had writer's block But it's not like what I would create had any meaning, which I guess shouldn't and then what you said now if you would stare at a table and Remove the meaning if I take that with ideas leave not their source Then I noticed that all the meaning of the metal or the wood and the stickiness and the color is Literally just to form It doesn't matter it just matters that they come together and then it comes together and it has the meaning of separation so it's undoing that meaning of separation and the thing and Still coming together to be like I don't know about to almost nothingness God I guess that's what I can describe it It's nice to finally see those ideas come together for the actual energetic purpose Yeah, like it's a composite It's being used when you when you pull it back and you make the whole cosmos a composite then that's forgiveness That's what forgiveness is It's like it's a it's a complete integration of everything into one mind So it's like a synthesis that ultimately Undo the synthesizing Just comes completely whole It's great just to practice because then you know you just you pay closer attention to the the nuances and Whatever seems to be There it had so many great movies. I was thinking again of that movie God is the the bigger Elvis and What's her name to laurice? heart the first Screen kiss of Elvis and then her career takes off and she becomes an actress that has multiple studios wanting to hire her and receiving back in the day Money from multiple studio studios and back in that day of Elvis a million dollars was A lot of money if you think it's a lot of money that it's a lot of money and she turned it all down to go to a convent a working farm up in New England and and follow this calling and Even had this this man that had fallen in love with her She said no, I can't can't marry you, but She was so devoted to Christ, but it yeah, it was just that same kind of surrender no matter how your life in the world seems to be going and however, the world defines it as successful and You know famous and all the different things that she just Went in the opposite direction to find peace To go within but these it's extreme teaching examples that really help Show the point of everything That you don't have to Strive for anything in this world It's okay to let go of false meanings Especially just to see them as the false See them all as false, you know as you can do that in a total sense like a And you have a totally clips of the heart you have the total opening opening of love
