 Okay. Hello everybody. Welcome once again. Welcome to the All Day Movie Workshop. And I'm Peter. I'm going to be the host. And we've got a great movie. I love this one. So much fun. So I'm looking forward to it. And for those who are new, I'll just let you know about the day. So we're going to start with the movie with David and then afterwards we'll have a 10 minute break. And we've got our breakout rooms for you to share your experiences, any emotion. And then we'll have a 45 minute break. And then we'll have the closing session, the Q&A with me. So I'm going to pass it over to you now David. Hey, thank you, Pete. Hi everyone. Welcome. We have an exciting day today. Another classic movie. Every time I say the words classic movie you know you're in for a wonderful heart opening ride. Yeah, isn't that great in our journey to God to have these heart opening moments and heart opening days. And then hopefully you'll have heart opening weeks and months and years. It'll just all blend together just into happiness, you know, just a shining happiness. And I think that's all we want at deep down. Everybody just wants to feel connected. They want to feel lighthearted. They want to feel happy. They want to feel joyful. And yeah, we've got a great movie today to take us into that experience to really lift our mind up way way up love lift us up where we belong, where we were created. Yeah, that's our calling. Today I'm happy to say our movie has spectacular music, spectacular colors. It's a Walt Disney movie so anytime we get a Disney movie, you know, if it's made for the kids, it's certainly good for us. We love kids at heart. So we love a good fairy tale. And then when you throw in spectacular colors and spectacular music and a really deep profound parable that helps us wake up. Thank you Walt Disney, I got to say hats off to Walt Disney for following his heart and making cartoons that make everyone feel more alive, more, more in touch, more connected with everything. I did a little preview last night's father and I watched it on a huge screen TV, and it was mesmerizing the colors, I felt like I was transported above the clouds with the colors in this movie, and the care and attention that Walt Disney and put into everything. And also a great, great classic story. Remember there was a time when Francis and I saw this movie and Francis couldn't speak about it for days. She just had tears in her eyes. And then, yes, out of Francis's mouth came. This is my all time movie. So this is Francis is all time movie. It's hard to pick one but there it is. It just came out of her. This is it. This is the all time movie for Francis. So, how we're coming into this movie again, we just put out the movie poll and you vote on the themes, and then pray, and Jesus gives us a movie that will really address the theme. So, how do we come to this place. Well, the first theme that you voted for that has the most votes is let go of seeking validations outside of my true self outside of my spiritual self, letting go of seeking for validation outside of my true spiritual Christ self. Well, if it's, if it's outside of my Christ self and my Christ self is purely spirit, then that must mean if I'm seeking validation from friends, from family, from jobs, from careers, from living circumstances and living situations. If I'm seeking validation from my cat, or my dog. If I'm seeking validation from my country. And now that in the United States, there's just been a Supreme Court ruling overturning row versus weighted and and it's, it seems like the unconscious mind is rearing its head this anger and rage is just spewing out all over the place. It's not as tentacles, but I couldn't really be upset, unless I was seeking for validation from the United States Constitution, or from the Supreme Court, or from laws and in the country, you know, it's like Jesus tells us that our true self is so high. We are beyond all of these constructs. He calls them illusion or fiction, and, and he's basically saying, like in parentheses that that what is eternal will last forever and what is temporary will not. And our true self is an eternal being. We are an eternal being of light, and we always have been. He calls it the I am presence before Abraham was I am. So, while we try to believe in this world and interact in terms of this world. In some sense, we are seeking for external validation of our false identity. So if we believe we're a person, and we have rights as a person rights as a man or a woman rights as a citizen of a certain country rights, you know, inalienable rights even rights that are guaranteed in the United States Constitution. Anything that we put our belief in is going to be a setup for guilt, and there'll be a big fall Humpty Dumpty is going to is going to crash. When that mask is exposed, it's going to come crashing down and it hurts if you're identified with the mask. So we're looking for true freedom, the freedom of spirit, the freedom of happiness and joy we're going for our true birthright of true freedom. So, the other thing about external validation is that what Jesus is teaching us is, he says the body is outside you, but it seems to surround you. He's saying that that in the end when you go toward the light that you start to realize that everything of time and space is is external because what is real and true will last forever and what is temporary will not so anything by nature that is temporary is we'll call it external. And if we look for validation of our worth of our love in these images in shadow land, then we're, we're going to be emotionally in trouble. We have great way showers like Jesus Christ and like Ramana Maharshi and yoga Nanda, and they were very much aware that the world was a world of shadows, and they basically just taught be here now, and don't pursue external validations in the shadows. It's really a beautiful teaching. I have to say those are the three of the happiest ones I know Jesus and Ramana Maharshi and yoga Nanda. Those are happy reflections. They are very happy reflections. So, there is a workbook lesson in in a course in miracles, and sometimes people question me about it you know I'm going along David I'm doing the workbook a lot of love it love it. Love it love it love it and then they get to the workbook lesson it says what I see is a form of vengeance. They go what. Is that a mistake a typo that Jesus have a typo in there. I'm not I'm staying by the love of God, the world I see as a form of vengeance what he's saying is, as long as you're looking for external validation in images. The world you will see will be a form of vengeance, the world I see as a form of vengeance. It's not really a vengeful world, yes it was made in hate it was made by the ego, but it you don't have to see it that way you can, you can embrace it in happiness, if you just don't judge it, you know, no matter what's happening. No, don't judge it, because if you judge it good or bad, then it's going to seem vengeful to you in your awareness, you know you're going to have vengeance and hatred burbling underneath if you, if you keep seeking for value and externals. So, this movie today will help us undo people pleasing, and I, you know those are the only two guidelines I got from Jesus for living in community. No people pleasing and no private thoughts. So this is one of the big ones, no people pleasing, and the movie today will go right at that topic. So, number one, let go of seeking validation outside my, my true self or my Christ self. Number two, overlooking the air versus speaking up. That's an interesting one overlooking the air versus speaking up, because you know how much I encourage everybody to speak up. Don't repress it. Don't stuff it down. If you've got a feeling that you want to release. It's okay. Speak up about it. It's okay to speak up about it. It will help you actually over eventually to overlook the air entirely if you keep speaking up, and you don't repress anything eventually the unconscious mind is is lit up. It's gone, you don't have an unconscious mind anymore because you've not held it down you've not pushed it away you've led it up. Now I think what this theme is going out a little bit overlooking the air versus speaking up is a lot of people feel like it's their duty to speak up and point out errors of their brothers and sisters. And that's not helpful speaking up. In fact, I will guarantee you that will blow up in your face. If you keep noticing the error, and you keep fault finding, and you keep pointing the finger and say, you know, this is a problem this is a problem if that's your daily life of just pointing out errors and problems. It just means that you are choosing to be a personal corrector of everybody on the planet, you will collect the correct the 7.8 billion that that are out of line. And you're usurping the Holy Spirit function it's the Holy Spirit function to forgive. It's the Holy Spirit function to overlook the air. It's not your function as a person isn't we're off the hook. Don't you feel lighter. My shirt feels lighter already. There's no, there's no personal sense you don't personally even have to figure out how to forgive you just have to merge in lean back on the Holy Spirit. And there's your correction, because the Holy Spirit does not see error, the Holy Spirit never ever ever sees error. So you know why the Holy Spirit is so happy. Why, why does Jesus call the Holy Spirit the spirit of joy. Holy Spirit is the spirit of joy well if you're, if you're never seeing error. That would be pretty joyful. It must be perfection if there's no error. And that's the Holy Spirit's responsibility so that's the main thing here. Eventually you want to merge with the Holy Spirit and then see no error. And in that merging is is our opening to a tonement for enlightenment. Okay, the third one is allow the spirit to use all of quote my time. Of course, if, if we believe that we have my time and Holy Spirit time. That's a problem because, because when I, when I claim time as my own, like personal time. Some people say well I've got my time and then I have to the boss and the job is is work time. And then, you know, even the beer commercial says that it's, it's Miller time. You see, even Miller beer has its own time. You know, that's the time when you get off work and you're tired and frustrated and angry and you open up a beer. And now the beer is trying to sell you that it's Miller time. And that's, that's how sneaky the ego is, but there is no Miller time, but many times, it seems like human beings want to claim like my time, my personal time and Jesus is just telling us. Actually, when you merge with the Holy Spirit, you'll see that was just a construct. There was never my time and their time. Sometimes humans like my time. That's why they have phrases like TGIF. Thank God it's Friday because they associate Monday through Friday as work time. And then TGIF. Let's go to the pub. Let's, let's celebrate the free time. Jesus is like, please, please don't divide time up. It's all an illusion, but if you give it to the Holy Spirit, you'll see that it's all an illusion and then you'll be able to be happy in the present moment. Okay, number four, open up to receive true strength. Strength is is definitely of the spirit and true strength is healing. Truth. Strength is very still. It's very majestic. It is a sense of power and wonder. It's a sense of. I am sustained by the love of God. It's a sense that there's, if God is with me in my true power, then nothing can be against me. So it's, it's a wonderful feeling to be in your strength. And I'm talking about just in alignment with God and alignment with spirit. That's, that's the whole point. The last one is practice true empathy. Stay with what's true. The reason it seems so difficult in the human experience to stay with what's true is because the whole world is a lie. How do you stay with what's true. When everything that your five senses is showing you is false. That's a conundrum. That's a conundrum. It seems like a paradox how if my five senses are lying to me, and they're showing me perception and God didn't create perception. Even the highest perception you can imagine which is the real world or the happy dream was not created by God, it was, it was made by the Holy Spirit as a bridge. And we could go back to formless absolute love and light, which, which is where our strength is it's our reality. In the course of miracles in the text it says, when the Bible says the word was made flesh capital W word was made flesh, referring to Jesus. And he says in the course strictly speaking this is impossible. You can't turn light into images. Light is eternal, and light is not an image. So you can't turn what is eternal. And the word of God is I am as God created me I'm spirit. You can't turn the spirit into form, you can't, you can't say oh spirit would you just vibrate slower and slower, no more slower slower slower there we go we got matter now. So that's when Jesus says in the workbook that God is in everything I see. He clarifies that's in lesson 29, but in lesson 30 in the workbook he clarifies God is in everything I see because God is in my mind. Really, he's meaning the Holy Spirit is in everything I perceive, because the Holy Spirit is in my mind that's that's the literal translation. God doesn't even know of this world God. The word of God was made as an attack on God, so God is not going to be in everything you see is not going to be in a, in a watermelon or a mountain or a tree. That's in if you study philosophy that's what we call pantheism, seeing God in objects that's not real. That's not true pantheism has no basis. But the Holy Spirit is in everything I perceive because the Holy Spirit is in my mind. How does that work. Well, it's a question of time the Holy Spirit lives in the right mind in the present moment. And to the Holy Spirit time is simultaneous there is no past or future. So if you're seeing with the Holy Spirit you're seeing in this moment. And that is true, true vision, you know you might say you first have a happy dream in the moment, very simultaneous stream, and then, and then the dream will disappear because God is beyond dreaming. God is not dreaming. Thank heavens, God. God is just love. Love doesn't need to dream. Dreaming is part of the belief in separation. So the
