 I'm reminded too of something that I found much more helpful than resolutions for the future is like unity in the burning bowl ceremonies. Anybody ever gone through like a burning bowl ceremony on this night on the 31st of December? How beautiful, what an opposite to using the time to make resolutions for the future it's just taking all your grievances all your resentments all your struggles all your future aspirations all your goals and throwing them all in the bowl and burning. To me that's very much more like the Buddha empty the mind of everything good bad right wrong everything you think you want for your life just put it in the bowl and have a willingness to just turn it over and let it burn and then it's brand new like I I just don't I don't have goals for any day that's fun I like to wake up with big eyes like childlike wonder eyes you know of wow kind of like that scene at the end of 51st dates with what's true Barrymore is is that's the final scene of the movie she's she's up there he's taken her away she doesn't have this memory but he's taken her way to Alaska I think and she's opens up the curtains she goes you see her face it's like a little girl face childlike wonder like whoa she's waking up and looking out on this scene up in Alaska imagine just waking up that way every day you know talk about a reboot you just don't have a clue you don't have a goal you know other than maybe peace of mind you know which is what you're practicing that's your practice of peace of God is my one goal the aim of all my living here the end I seek my purpose my function and my life while I abide where I'm not at home if you're gonna have a goal that's a goal to have the peace of God and is that practical yes and so what if your life as you knew it starts to dissolve if it starts to break apart like Humpty Dumpty if it starts to fade away it starts to dissolve it's all part of like a retranslation and isn't it great that you can just give yourself over to it like you let the retranslation begin oh so and so died oh so so disappeared from my life oh this and this and this after a while people start leaving your life they're good the disappearing it's a disappearing actor they're going going going the most consistent face that I've had in my life over the last ten years is my three-legged cats face that's the one face out of the last ten years isn't that wonderful everyone in this world is trying to get continuity in terms of relationships or this and this and this and I'm happy to let the chips fall where they may let the great retranslation begin if I do not know my own best interest then suck it to me if you know my best interest in every single circumstance and I do not then show me not show me the money show me the vision show me the love you know show me the way and and when you kind of wake up and you start to feel that okay I want this that's the prayer of your heart then things can start to shift and change a lot I've even loved working with people who get you know they go through their whole life kind of compromising and they compromise compromise compromise in fact they'd compromise so much that they don't think they're compromising anymore even though their whole life is a one big compromise and then they get diagnosed with a terminal illness and then they think oh oh it's almost over for me times almost run out and then they start to question then they start to really live because they feel like they've only got a little time left so they're gonna not gonna waste it and they take off like a rocket they go on the spiritual advancement like they've never gone before all right maybe it's a little bit of fear motivation I think the time's running out but still the Holy Spirit uses contrast you know and and they start to take off and they start to really live like if I've only got five months to live oh what am I gonna do today because say well you can do this forget that I've only got five months to live shut up shut up over there enough of this enough I said I've only got five months left and they really go for it and they take off like a rocket did anybody ever see what was the movie that Robert Redford's daughter did what they call the red we saw it it's the one where she's diagnosed with this this terminal illness and she no it's right yeah the guitar it's the guitar it's a red guitar it's the guitar if anybody of you have not seen the guitar you need to it's Robert Redford's daughter made this movie and the woman in the movie the lead character she's diagnosed with this terminal illness and and she she gets fired I think she gets canned and she's diagnosed with the terminal illness and she goes through such a major transformation she's she's sure she's gonna die she's got fired so she just goes and she gets this loft apartment and she's got her credit cards her she's been working at the shop and he goes like that she goes she buys the best she wears everything she gives herself everything that she always wanted even when she was a little girl she wanted this little red guitar like an electric guitar and she wanted to learn and she learns how to play it and she goes through such she buys and buys and takes she gives herself everything that she wanted to talk about getting over the unworthiness issue of I don't deserve it's charges charges charges charges and and then by the end of the movie she totally goes into remission it was all the guilt and all the unworthiness of thinking she didn't deserve it that was the sickness and then she's shocked where she's got it just great credit card but isn't it worth it to know that you're worthy besides the world's gonna disappear anyway right yes it's all it's all for that experience of worthiness you know so that's a great movie yeah if any of you haven't seen it the guitar there's also that one with Queen Latifah she's so good in that isn't I love Queen Latifah yeah she gets misdiagnosed it's a the scenario yeah it was a misdiagnosis I forget how it happened where she's got this terminal illness so she's got this nest egg so she decides she's just gonna spend it all and she goes away and to this fancy hotel and she's like give me the best of everything it's a what's the best thing on the menu well there's this give me one of everything you know and so everybody thinks that she's some very wealthy person who just is living the great life and and because she's on her you know at the which she thinks it's the end of her life she doesn't hold anything back she tells it like it is and so everybody is attracted to her because she's free she's allowing herself to be free and and then you know it's it's as you might imagine but it's beautiful it's a powerful fun story yeah and some of you I think Tom Hanks says the worst movie ever made but actually metaphysically I think it's the best movie ever made he just doesn't know his own best interest Joe versus the volcano and it because again he's diagnosed with terminal illness a brain cloud and it's you know this brain cloud and so he goes and he swear he thinks he's gonna die but he's got this dead-end job is making Vaseline petroleum rectum petroleum in this they mean it's the darkest-looking job and the fluorescent lights you know in his face and he's twitching and he's just he's got the most dead and they they make it up Kathleen Kennedy Spielberg they make up the worst job in the history of the universe and he's got it and then he's diagnosed with a brain cloud and then he starts to feel like I'm gonna live and he turns his whole life around Meg Ryan plays like three different characters in the movie and and he goes through all these transformations that's the one I was mentioning with the big moon that he sees you know and thanking God thank you for my life but it's it's these are the kind of movies that are in the movie watchers guide to enlightenment that the Holy Spirit gave me because they're all about seeing that the world doesn't hold anything that you want and even when you think you've got the worst life ever then he gets the the diagnosis of a brain cloud and he's told he's gonna die very quick so then this guy shows up this it's Meg Ryan's character's father who says he's got to throw himself into a volcano because he used to be a fireman and save people and everything and so he goes on this great adventure and it's all about him letting go of everything that he believes is valuable and taking this journey and he does the guy gives him a credit card so he can go bye bye bye you know the best luggage the best everything you know it's you know we're on to it now these three movies we just talked about the guitar and this Queen Lativa movie and Joe versus the volcano they're all the same story that you've just been fooling yourself and thinking that your life was what you thought it was and and you can have a miracle and break out of it and the most wondrous miraculous experience is awaiting you when you just drop the old and the ego is going to chirp and say oh don't you do it don't do it because it's saying that what the status quo is in your life is is all you've got it's all you really know the other is a big question mark the big unknown and and what you seem to know in this world what you seem to perceive is all that you've got it's just not the truth it's just not the truth we're ready to really live truly live a vibrant life a guided life a sourced life we have to be sourced we have a source so we have to be sourced but the ego is saying no you can make up your own way you've got a band of time between birth and death to spend however you want it's your currency so eat drink and be merry because one day you still die like you better cash in all your chips and get as much scraps from the world as you can little scraps of pain and pleasure you know to try to just accumulate as many scraps as you can because you're going to die anyway and that whole thing is a lie it's just not it's not worth it it's not worth it that's not living we're like riding the wave of of a lot of devotion and and I think it's great with the community experience you can really feel it's a tangible palpable kind of experience you can feel the energy of it and and that's the ultimate of the collaboration that's why we're collaborating you know it's because the way is easy the way is clear you know before it was like the way is straight the way is narrow and from a time perspective it can seem like a very straight and narrow path you know like oh boy how can I live that life but but now we're on the wave and we've we've got all this love and all these mighty companions around us symbolizing that you can just kind of relax like that and be carried just carried into shore that's what they tell you when you're out kind of caught in a current you know don't don't try to fight the current and when you're even in a car that starts spinning you know just gently turn the wheel in you know and and relax don't you know because people try to do the the things when they're fighting against the current or turning the wheel you know to try to get out of a spin it just makes it worse because there's that efforting
