 I think we could start a new trend because actually I have to say that aside from the movies we've been seeing at the theaters this year which are absolutely transcendent completely generally our collection, our hard drive collection is like about a million times better than the average run-of-the-day movies that come out and most of them don't even come close in terms of the mind-training value So you've got like the classics we call them that Like each time you watch them. It just washes your mind you know, it's like like Primo stuff and then actually it's kind of like a habit like oh, let's go see a new movie You're I didn't seen that one yet. I mean I have to say literally that with a lot of the movies and movie watchers guy and a lot of other movies I've Probably watched some of them probably 10 20 times maybe more maybe some of them 25 times I have to tell you the value is enormous this idea of I've seen that movie before It doesn't apply metaphysically It would be like going into a meditation saying I've done this before We don't really need to meditate again. I've done that Go shopping or do something other activity like it's an activity Movie watching with the spirit when you really give it over to spirit is not really an activity It's actually it's like a rinsing of your mind And more than that it's like a reminder of these very deep principles That are acted out and you know back in the day 2,000 years ago Jesus did most of his teachings in public with parables because the mind might say Wasn't even nearly ready to To comprehend or to even be touched by the depth of what he was actually speaking about so he would Frequently Preface his parables with for those that have the ears to hear and let them hear he had to say that really over and over and over as he was speaking of a wisdom and death depths that was covered over by so many layers of Darkness that even though they were gems People would just have to kind of take in whatever They were ready to take in and you know and that's why you can read the parables over and over you can even the prodigal son Parable which is one of the favorite ones that he taught over and over with You know to really gain the full meaning of that that that really is what of course miracle is talking about thinking you've thrown away your inheritance of the king of heaven and You've lost your way completely and you're completely lost and you have such unworthiness that you don't Have you don't feel the worthiness to even go back to go back home. And so you know you You finally in the parable. He's you know, he's feeding the pigs and thinking, you know, even my father serves You know have enough to eat. I guess he finally compares himself to his father servants thinking Maybe I can go back and at least have food because he's very hungry starving And that starts the journey back after it gets so extreme And that parable was taught over and over and over isn't teaching parable but I'd say these movies this what you'll see today is a classic and I know some Summertime movie theater theaters. I know it's all like city. There's a century 16 and they They actually show some of the classics as a world would judge classics like dirty dancing. It was just showing there Patrick's way see that bringing back the classics. That's probably back from the 80s or something I had the time of my life. It's a great soundtrack and it's a great story and And yet the movies we call our classics They're classics because they have such deep metaphysical value that I'd say every time you watch one of them If you watch it with openness and receptivity, you can see new things That you've never seen before so it doesn't really apply that you've seen the movie before Because you you have a deeper readiness every time you watch it and then you can actually You know really see so to speak you can get into deeper meanings with The ultimate which is accepting the atonement, you know, it's each time you watch a movie if you Have a willingness you can be taken deep down toward the atonement toward the correction in your own mind And really that's the only point Of anything there's really no other point Do anything on earth earth doesn't have a point living your time doesn't really have a point But the point would be to accept the atonement and then if you see the value in these then Then you could you know You could set up like almost like regular classic movies for regular rinsings of your mind I have to say most people who are into spirituality they They put more time into bathing and cleaning their teeth than they do Into rinsing their mind On a regular basis and it's available You know so you could do it. So there's nothing holding you back From such rinsing. So this movie Is just a classic and it's funny because it's the way it works. I was just a few days ago They had all these at this thing on yahoo about where are these stars now that were big in the The 80s and one of them was Bridget Fonda I was like, oh, yeah because frequently these stars get used In some really classic movies little Buddha So if you haven't seen it, Bridget Fonda plays the Mother in little Buddha and this would this this that one in this one are probably two of her all-time classic metaphysical movies To to be a classic metaphysical movie doesn't necessarily mean it's going to do out the box office or that'll be acclaimed in the world in fact Probably Tom Hanks top Movie of all time metaphysically. He says was the worst movie that he ever made so It's this there's the depth beyond The common everyday perceptions go versus the volcano We just had a powerful mini movie that was made and that was Tom Hanks He's come right out in public. It said that's the worst movie. He couldn't even believe that he would make such a movie But you know, if you look at it, you know, Steven Spielberg Kathleen Kennedy took two of the biggest names of movies and producers are there and Meg Ryan playing all these characters, you know, and then he was probably just saying it was in his eyes probably like a dorky movie, but The profundity Is there It wasn't really And that's what you know Kevin Costner said about uh field of dreams. They all all the actors at the time, you know Okay, we'll take a chance. It was like a risk to do a movie like that They were prepared for bomb dud and it just Became what the world would say a classic. It just had his 25th anniversary, but that's why I remind everybody that I've said it for years and I actually saw it in the course about a week ago that the world is backwards and upside down I always just said it so often that I thought that I thought oh Jesus We think alike, you know Okay, backwards and upside down. What would you do if you found yourself in a strange land? Kind of like Alice in Wonderland, you know, where there's all the proportions are distorted and there's this mad header You know, Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland is a great You know falling down the rabbit hole Even the the quantum physicists use the The rabbit hole metaphor from Alice in Wonderland, but it's everything's out of proportion and Jesus says it's all backwards and upside down So what's so great about this movie? What makes it a classic? Well It's based on a what the world called true story So it's one of these things like just recently in the springtime. We have heaven is for real I was based on actual events of a minister and his little boy out in the Midwest Take Nebraska And his congregation and his little boy who who didn't die But so you can't say he had a A near death experience. He was on he was on the operating table But he had all these encounters with Jesus and angels and You know, amazing things and then the presence to just speak it That's what's so great about heaven is for real if you haven't seen it. It's it's amazing. It's been an amazing string of movies this year both metaphysical and God's not dead Heaven is for real. It's just starting to flood in I actually have to say there's we've had a major string of classics Going all the way back to the end of last year which is about time It's just like boom home run after home run like go Sometimes X-men you wait they're coming up at our movie Retreat that we're having in September beginning of september But sometimes we would wait for like seems like months or years for the big home run Oh, it's good. It's a double. It's a triple. But then boom. Oh got to go see it You know, it's like one after the next after the next Like Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron taking back Boom They're just home run after home run metaphysically speaking This is like a reflection of our mind Because it's no there aren't really movie makers and producers directors actresses. It's just our mind is like ready And you know, we got taste there in 1998 99 right at the end of the millennium with Truman show and You know matrix and 13th floor amazing Metaphysical movies kind of heralding. They were like They were like heralding the coming of of a new era This is the darling of the age of Aquarius Age of Aquarius Aquarius Movie wise speaking your image you are harming an understanding This is this is what Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis jr. Were forecasting back, you know in the 70s the late 60s in the 70s This is it. You're you're in the dawning of the age of Aquarius and So these movies are coming out pretty regularly, but but then we have a whole collection of classics Which taken by themselves, you know You know, you could Easily those are 52 weeks in a year. It's like the course is 365 days. You could come up with a 52 week Mindwash That would absolutely blow your mind away because the classics have that much power You know, it's the law of the movies that come out. You know, they're just You know, they're just not worth seeing actually. They're not not they're not worthy of your time Your time can be spent so much constructively and extending the message And and these parables now that you're kind of have the gateway into the inroads of it I know that's one of the key is there are ways of teaching is with the movies. It's like you've got best tools best tools you could ever imagine and and It's so easy to teach with the movies because people think of them as movies like, oh And then it's like come closer Like uh, Rafiki, you know the monkey You know in In line can come closer look again Oh, I see no movie. Look again You really haven't And I'm sure like this is going to be a gem for nakita because it's it's one of the all time greats But but for some of you have seen it can happen to you, you know, you just you feel the heart swirling your heart bursting with joy because it contrasts The thinking of the world with the thinking of the spirit and movies Some movies can do that so well field of dreams If you build it, he will come it was all about guidance And yet it wasn't talked about his guidance. It was talked about this whispering voice Which made it much more acceptable publicly There's anything religious or anything at connotations of you know spirit or whatever You know, it took you in so gently that you just were like with it every frame every step of the way And even people who have a huge resistance to spirituality or Christianity or religion Would not be offended with that movie. They would be like, oh Gosh, that was a good movie. They walk out of the theater. Wow, that was great It it has to come in a way that they can receive it And that's why people get turned off of church. They just have so many connotations in their mind They don't see church like we talked about in the Keenan High as a state of mind. They see it as a theology And there's a lot of the theology that they they think is hypocritical They wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. They'll never go back there again They have no interest in ever stepping foot in a church again You know church attendance for for decades has been on huge decline Because people can think of they think there's so many other things that are much more interesting And much more exciting than going to church That's how I thought of it when I was a boy So anything I could avoid It goes in there and I'd sit they'd sit me down in the wood hardwood pew and I'd be Looking at the window and trying to think But if I didn't know that there was this kind of church I'd have been the first one. I'd been in the front row In the soft seat in the soft seat like ready to go And asking questions of the minister What did that mean? What did that mean? I just Excited curiosity, you know because that would have this would have been the greatest church there is and now that we've discovered it Why not use it? No, it's great. We have a church service here, but it's like Why not 52 weeks a year, you know, you could You know, that's partly why I think during the consolidation that there's this talk of buying a movie theater You know it kind of sprang up in the kitchen and Yeah, I mean I was starting to get links sent to me Of movie theaters. It's like they were serious about you know, yeah Really, that's our next day. We can trade in the monastery. You can you know Because it was part of this outreach like I want I want everyone in the universe to feel the same feelings I'm feeling I want everyone to have the same Access to this joy. I want to give it away It's just this feeling is not a place It's not a place You know, Jesus says the holiest spot on earth is where an ancient hatred has become a present love That that's what lights it up is that Feeling in your heart and just that's the feeling with the movies. You can you can give it away So as I said it now I'll get to the setup That was a preamble It wasn't a setup So We have Bridget Fonda playing a waitress in New York City We have Isaac Hayes the great Isaac Hayes You know from music He's kind of like your your angelic like your homeless angelic figure That's in it You have Nicholas Cage Bridget Fonda and now Nicholas Cage. He's been in a lot of our Uh metaphysical movies a lot of our classics are Nicholas play Nicholas Cage classics He's a cop And he's a cop in New York City. He's got a wonderful partner and His partner is always kind of like smiling and at him and just shaking his head because Nicholas Cage plays a cop who wants to do the right thing He wants to be kind to people. He wants to be friendly to people. He wants to be honest He wants to be respectful. He's not the kind of cop Band cop like in the lake Trying to like Liam Nielsen the voice of the put the screws on everybody, you know, really so he's he's He wants to be the good cop and he's got his Things going on, but he's generally it's based on true stories. So to speak where he's generally he's He's married. He goes out to do his job, but he he loves his job he loves to go out in the streets and be helpful and And he's married to a woman who who is like greedy Self-centered Egotistical in almost all kinds of ways and it's just a very interesting pair of vibrationally It couldn't be farther apart. You know, she's married to him and and he and yet again when you're in the state of mind Like he's in he demonstrated He wants to be friendly to all of new york city and he's very patient And extremely kind with his wife As you would expect, you know, it doesn't matter the way people seem to be in the world It's the how you perceive them is based on where you heard it. So he's he's extremely loving and kind with his wife and He is going to go into this like little cafe diner place and order some food with his partner and then Be called away like cops are often called away even after they order something and he's going to have to leave very quickly and he's discovering he doesn't have his wallet And but he even in the midst of being called out, you know, he's just so present that You know, he he's just got maybe his coffee. That's all he's got But he's so present that he realizes he and everything slows down for him because he's really connecting with the waitress and he He doesn't have his wallet and he it's like and he he can't give her a tip So that's what starts to set up this real life story of of of him Basically giving her the option. I think maybe a coming back the next day and Doubling the tip or something like that or half Oh, what he's got on him is a lottery ticket Where half Half of the lottery ticket or something like that. I think and then she goes she's got and she's got her glasses always sliding down He's like wanting to help her Fix her glasses so that they don't always slide down. He's very kind and he's present and he's he's very loving But she goes, oh, she's kind of sarcastic. Oh, I think I'll take half of the winnings at the lottery ticket So anyway, he he makes a promise and that's another good thing about this movie It's like, you know, we talk a lot about integrity and really truly if you go deep enough integrities of the mind That's why you need all these forgiveness opportunities. That's why you need Mind training movies and having your mind constantly rinsed because the only way you ever experience integrity is in the mind you'll never Behavior doesn't exist apart from the mind. Everything is mentioned So you can't really have it be had an integrist personality Even though that's just it's a good symbol Say he's definitely Has that but we're talking about such a deep calling of integrity in the mind where everything you think and say and do and feel And believe and perceive everything like the levels of mind are in total alignment So you're totally aligned with god Aligned the spirit. That's what we're going for. That's what the atonement is But these movies, you know, your heart starts to be warmed up you feel the swirl of joy when you even see a character who's trying to Do the right thing who's trying who says the promise is a promise That's what his wife can't understand when when you know, the lottery ticket comes in She cannot believe that he would actually keep his word And that's common in the world, you know people that's why we have movies like liar liar another classic We're basically Jim Carrey, you know plays a character where he basically lies all day It's just he lies to his secretary. He lies to his boss. He lies to his child his son He just lies and lies and lies and everything and that makes it a good contrast movie You know when he cannot tell a lie and he is the funniest man on earth Trying to play a guy that cannot lie because he is almost like it goes against his nature It's just absolutely hilarious. But in this movie, you know, she's going to be like, how could she Cannot actually believe she plays a great extreme character Whether you got this guy that's got a really big heart He's patient. He's kind. He's always trying to do the right thing and then his wife He is putting into the test. She's like giving him Testing that poking poking He can sometimes be so peaceful and relaxed that she it just drives her crazy She just because he's too peaceful. You know, it sounds funny to have too peaceful of a husband, but for her She wants she's got ambitions She wants to make something of herself. She wants him. She can't believe That he doesn't have a better job For him, he loves his job and for her it's despicable He could do so much better So much better for them as a couple and he's got this job where he's out trying to be Loving and kind to everybody So the other thing I like about this movie is that's the thing about some of these rare true stories is Other media gets involved Whenever you have the media involved, all it does is it magnifies everything You know, it is like that seen from Back a while where it was that that oj simpson Chase where he's in this white suv and I mean the whole nation nobody can let the babies cry Let the whole world fall apart Everybody's gotta be glued to the tv to watch the police chasing a white suv in la What's the you know Nothing there's not such a big news and then when they caught him and then everybody is he guilty Oh everybody had to have an opinion and then when they ran the trial it went off That's the beginning of reality tv That was the beginning of what we call today Kim cartizen and all these realities he shows that was it right there Cameras everywhere following a white suv. Well, that's what I like about this movie This movie's got such a great teaching, but it would be like following jesus around with the media today Media coverage on miracles media coverage on On how people everything is magnified how people handle it Because you have an extreme case where the waitress and the cop You know of the lorry things start to fall in love and the wife and then the media And everything gets ultimately magnified in the media which which simply drags home the lessons even more You know people say That was perhaps a bloody mess the crucifixion and all the point of the crucifixion was it was an extreme teaching example In absolute defenselessness in absolute innocence In any of you have seen any of the jesus movies including son of god the recent one you see that that presence Contrasted with the world The seeming viciousness of the world it's so cool when that Loving kindness and that presence comes together with the The extreme viciousness of the world and it gets that's what I like about this it gets vicious And the media gets involved everything gets blown up and gets magnified And that's another thing that makes this movie a classic is because if it was just a simple story told It would be very very very impactful, but the idea that it got magnified in the media Just made it all the better Because you know you have two thought systems and they don't really have a meeting point And the more magnified things get the more you can go I see it I see it and then you can start to apply it to your own life Because it's so the lesson is so magnified It starts to make you think in your own life. Wow You can think back to different scenarios that you seem to be involved with and different altercations you've had with people around it could be run legal things or Arguments or fights or divorces or all the different things that people seem to Argue about and then you can see this is like wow, this is really for my mind to get clear about What it's always been about Like it's always been about the same thing You know this this healing finding that kindness finding that love within yourself. So So I think we'll have a great discussion afterwards because it's yeah, every time you watch it it's a it's a rinse the total rinse of the mind and Yeah, New York City, you know New York City's had some pretty extreme things that have been has been part of its Contacts its history of course 9 11. It's probably most famous for The towers coming down But the even after that there were all these stories around the firemen Around the police officers around the ones that were there Trying to do The right thing just trying to be truly helpful in major extreme cases you know I've even I watched the documentary of it was basically following a The police officer on that day when it happened and the cameras were rolling. They were filming a documentary on 9 11 They were following this cop around it was I think trying to Help people and do you know on the streets and then you could hear these He's low flying planes and he's like going well something's weird that that was a low plane and then And then it hits the towers and you've got the whole thing Recorded as it's happening Um doing a documentary on this police officer. Eventually. He's drawn over to to the towers and you can hear these These thuds in the background it's literally people jumping out For the towers and it's filming they're on Ground on the ground in ground zero you can hear these these You hear the bodies as people are leaping to try to leap out of the towers Because the towers are on fire and exploding everything and and um, and then it actually it comes in with the police with the fire department and you go up into one of the towers you're in One of the towers as the other tower collapses. You're in Filming inside just like when they showed this thing on national television people were like yeah get it off of there You can't people's emotions were like So brought up because it was literally You know it'd be like we'll have the camera like following this Hop around and then police officers and going right into the buildings and and the Panic everything's going on and then And then there's this dust flying everywhere, you know at some point the tower the the other tower has collapsed and this is Like foggy dust that just completely fills the tower that the documentary is being filmed You get a chance that would be a good mind watch for this. We probably can find it Put it on the screen It's a really good mind-watching Because it's like you're right there, you know it's not like Re-enacted, you know, it's It's like really right there. So with this one This is again based on the two stories So you can kind of get the feel for how it starts to play out and how the media grabs the whole of it and how You have to be willing if you're following the characters to just at every point pause and let go Just keep an eye on your emotions if you start to be drawn in You start rooting for any characters if you find yourself drawn in to take a side if you find yourself um judging The media or judging anything that's getting magnified and blown up. Just remember it's all for Accepting the atonement in your mind. It's all for healed perception. It has nothing To do with a movie or a story. That's what's so good about Okay
