 Okay. Hi, everyone. Lovely to see you. Hi. Thanks for joining us. Yeah, welcome. I'm Peter and I'm the host. And yeah, we've got a big day ahead of us. So we're going to have a probably a longer than usual movie commentary with David. And so today we are going to, we're going to change our break times a little, but we're going to start with the movie commentary with David. And then about halfway through, we're going to have a 10 minute break. And then we're going to have a Q&A a bit later in the day, but just before then we'll have a 15 minute break. So we're just spacing things a little bit differently. And also we usually, we have been having a worship service afterwards in the afternoon, but it's moved to Sunday. And so tomorrow we have our worship service at 4pm MST. And so we hope to see you then. But we're going to start with the movie with David. So I'm going to pass it over to him now. Thank you, Pete. Hi, everyone. Welcome. Oh, we're going to have a Jesus day today. I hope you enjoy being saturated, flooded with Jesus. This is my kind of day. And the movie is so long that usually I kind of, I go through the whole movie. And this movie I haven't even seen before, but I've just skimmed it because I said, oh, this is just so much fun. I'm going to watch along with everyone else. I'm just going to be swept away with Jesus today. I don't need to see the movie before. I just need to just show up. There's no preparation needed to open to the love and light of who you are. So, you know, in the Course in Miracles, basically in the workbook of a Course in Miracles, Jesus makes the statement. He says, everything that you think and say and do teaches all the universe. So basically, when we think of teachers or preachers, we think of the activity of speaking or talking and so forth. And Jesus is like, well, that's not actually what the teaching is. The teaching is your thoughts. And the thoughts that you think are for the whole universe. You think you're a man, then you think you're a woman, you think you're a human being, then you perceive a world of human beings and men and women. You think you're a time and space creature, and you perceive a world of time and space creatures. But what Jesus is saying is, we can learn to think with God, think with spirit. And remember that we are spirit. We are eternal spirit. We are the light. And Jesus was a demonstration that, yeah, it's natural to be who God created you to be. And it's unnatural to believe you're something else. And the whole point of spiritual awakening is to remember the light that you are, that everyone is. So, as usual, we ask you to vote on themes. And then we call forth a pray to Jesus to give us a movie to, to help us really have an experience, a direct experience of the theme. And so this week, the number one theme was, shine so bright that all fear disappears. When I saw that was the top theme by far, I said, shine so bright that all fear, not some, but shine so bright that all fear disappears. I just was like, I have not a clue. I don't know if there's a movie that can handle that. And Jesus said, I got it. This one's on me. No problem. I can show you how to shine so bright that all fear disappears. Now, to psychologists, they would say, that's not reasonable. You know, there's no way that all fear can disappear. But Jesus is not a psychologist. Thank heavens. And philosophers would say, well, that's idealistic. Shine so bright. That sentimentally sounds good. But there's not a philosopher on the planet that would say, what? Shine so bright that all fear disappears? That is, that is a tall order. But for Jesus, it's like a done deal. He's like, I've already done it. I've done it. I'm just going to give you some tips. No problem. No problem being the I am presence. No problem being an eternal being, because that's how God created you. So it must be that we can accept that we are eternal beings. If God created us as eternal beings, it would be arrogant to think that we're something else. And that's what we have with this situation called time and space. A lot of arrogance, believing we know better than the Creator, believing our version of ourself, our flesh version, is better or more important than the eternal version that God created called the Christ. So that's our first theme. Shine so bright that all fear disappears. Second theme, stay in true empathy and let go of outcomes. That sounds a lot like Joseph Campbell. Follow your bliss. Imagine if you just said, I'm just going to follow my bliss. I'm going to follow my heart. And I'm just going to let go of concern for outcomes. I think Jesus said things to us 2,000 years ago that we're really in line with this stay in true empathy and let go of outcomes. He was telling us, do not be concerned with what you wear or what you eat. Seek first the kingdom of heaven and all else shall be added unto you. Imagine shining so bright that in the morning instead of you trying to decide what to wear, it just happened automatically, involuntarily you were slipping into your clothes. Involuntarily, if you were going to have breakfast, it just happened without you having to decide, am I going to have the waffles, the fruit smoothie? It just was like, imagine if your life was involuntary and you didn't have to have a concern about what you shall wear, what you shall eat, where you should go. It's like it's all just given to you moment by moment. And all you're doing is flowing with light and the love that's given you. Stay in true empathy and let go of outcomes. The third one is called, allow rest and inspiration to fill my days. Isn't it great when you can just relax and let your intuition, your connection with spirit lead the way. Imagine that that's the kind of life you're leading where every day is restful, it's peaceful, serene, tranquil and you're simply watching the images glide by without their touch upon you. Your mind is above and beyond the images of the world and then you have a restful inspiration to fill all your days. Yeah, wow, I had a lot of prayer this morning. I was getting so many downloads. I was getting downloads about Anna and Ken. I was, Jesus was saying, oh, I got some good stuff to tell you about Anna and Ken. You can talk to them on Monday. I got some downloads with Erpy. I got some downloads with the Spanish Ministry reconfigurations. Isn't that fun? And Luana's here. I get to talk to Luana. We'll all get to talk to Luana on Sunday. Jesus is just giving us everything. He's just saying, hey, it's a happy dance and here, let's have just a happy, joyful life and your life will be so full that you'll be allowed to rest and feel inspiration in your heart to filling your days, filling your mornings, filling your afternoons, filling your evenings, filling your nighttime dreams. Happy, happy, happy, happy. That's what we're entitled to. We're entitled to a life of joy and happiness if we simply just say, it's your show. That's the greatest thing. It's your show. Oh, I'm all in. Have some fun. And Jesus is like, I will. I will have some fun. Thank you very much. Okay. Learn to say yes only to what is for me. What that means is say yes to what is for your mind. Don't be concerned about the dream characters. Don't be concerned. They did what they did. You're to have an inspired life where you listen and follow in your heart and you have a joyful day and you flow in that joyful day. And that's it. That's putting your full attention on saying yes to what is for you. You say yes to happiness. You say yes to joy. You say yes to love. You say yes to peace. And then you let Jesus and the Holy Spirit give you the instructions for anything that is necessary. But the big yes is you're basically saying yes to God's will for perfect happiness. That's what you have to say yes to. And when you say yes to that, the rest is handled. The rest is the afterthought. The rest is like the afterburners. Jesus has got your engines fired up strong. So you're off into orbit. He's got you way out into orbit toward the light. And the rest is just an afterglow. It's like the tail of a meteor. You're the glowing presence of that flashing meteor through the dark sky. And then Jesus is like don't worry about the tail. That's just your afterglow. I'll handle that too. Final theme, bask in the joy of loving and sharing together. Isn't that what we've always wanted to bask in the joy of loving? And don't you like it when you feel like you're connected to your brothers and your sisters? Where you're happy to see them and then you're happy to have your quiet prayer time and meditation with God. And then you open the door and you're happy to see your brothers and sisters again. And then you go into more happy dance, prayer, meditation, and then you're happy to see your brothers and sisters again. That's the way a happy dream is supposed to be. You're supposed to feel connected and feel the feeling of love like it's a big dance. It's a big swirl. Lisa was telling me this morning, she said, wow, yesterday, the whole day, she went to La Casa. She said she was like swept up in some kind of a swirl of joy. She just got sucked into it and was in it all day. Just like almost like just delighted to be of service to God. Absolutely delighted. Just like a child is delighted to be able to go out and play. To go out and play. Can I go out? Can I go out? Can I go out? Go out. They go flying through the door in glee because they're happy to have a playful day. They love to play. They want to go out and play. And then when they say go ahead, that's the way you want to have your life be. You want to have your life be a joyful, happy life where you feel like you're playing all the time. And you can let go of those ideas of work and struggle and survival because if Jesus says, seek first the kingdom of heaven and all else will be added. I don't think he's lying to us. I think he's saying if you follow your bliss and your joy, everything else will be handled without your effort. He's basically saying, leave it to me. You live a happy and inspired life and I'll handle the details. You don't focus on the details. You focus on the joy and I'll handle the rest. And that's, I found in my life, that's the way it goes. I like being clueless. People say, did you hear what's happening and did you hear about this and that and I'm like, tell me, you know, I don't, I'm clueless. I'm ever increasingly clueless about this world. And I like it when Jesus says, you can't really know the truth and know about this world. You have to forget this world. You have to have amnesia, like he says in lesson 189. Forget this world. Forget this course and come with holy, empty hands unto your God. He's not telling us to balance the world with the truth. He's saying, no, the truth is true and the world is false. And the more you give yourself over to truth, you will have amnesia. You will start to forget this world. You will have spiritual dementia. You will have a very serious case of spiritual dementia. I find that's when I'm happiest when I, I don't know, I mean, I have got into these states of mind where I don't know what day it is even. I don't know what week I, what year is it? I'm just living with my cats and they don't know what time it is either. None of us are keeping time. No watches. My cats never wear a watch. I think I still have one, but I forget it. I forget this thing. And that's the whole point, you know, get into the joy and learn to forget, forget linear time. So today we have a Jesus movie that I have not seen. I'm going to be watching this movie with you for the very first time. This movie is about the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. So Jesus, he wasn't joking when he said, I got this one this week. I've got this one for you guys. It's, it's the story. It's, it's based on the King James version of the Bible. And basically it's, we're going to go all the way from starting off with Mother Mary and then Mother Mary is pregnant and then away we go. Time and space are going to be transcended with this story. It starts off with a woman pregnant in Galilee and the next, before you know it, it's like, I am the way, the truth and the life. Oh my God. It's, he's gone past time and space. He's, he's gone past the story of history. He's, he's gone to the I am presence, which is so loving and so joyful. So what we'll do is it's, it's such a lengthy movie that we will, this is the whole complete package here that I'm going to purposefully cut my commentary, my setup short so we can get on with the show because we've got quite a lot of shows. So we'll go through about an hour and a half of the show, Jesus, the life and teachings of Jesus. Then we'll take a 10 minute bathroom break and you'll be glad to have that 10 minutes because then we go through another larger section of the show after that. And then we'll take a 15 minute lunch break and then I'll come back for us to interact, share your experiences, questions, anything, answers, you know, we'll, we'll have a nice session together. And this is our marathon day. We're going to be saturated. You're going to be dripping with Jesus. Jesus is going to be dripping off of your fingers by the end of the day. And to me, that's the best way for me to spend the day immersed in Jesus and dripping with Jesus. You know, I can't think of a better day actually. This is, I'm like a kid in the candy store. So I would just say just stay with it and because we're going to get to see the full parables and I will come in from time to time with some commentary because you might think of it in scientific terms that before the big bang, there was this blazing light that is spirit. And this movie is pointing us beyond time and space back to that light that's prior to time. And when Jesus fully gave him his mind over to receive and remember that light, then he realized that nothing of this world had any meaning. And he was simply letting the Holy Spirit speak his words and the gentleness that came through and the meekness that came through. And we learned from A Course in Miracles it says that Jesus was the first one to accept his part perfectly. So he basically went all the way. He went through the tunnel, he went through the void that Buddha talked about. And Jesus went shooting through the void and he came into this blazing light that was spectacular. It was everything. It was God. He found God and his life was just used to reflect that light. It's just the light is not a man or a woman. The light is not in time but the light can reflect the love that's prior to time, the light that's prior to time, prior to the big bang. So it wasn't that the Messiah was not some kind of a Jewish figure that was going to rule over Judea. Oh no, the Messiah is the light, remembering the light prior to time. You see how spectacular that is? And there's angels. There's going to be angels in this movie. And we're going to see that those angels are lit up. They are beings of light that are coming foreshadowing the coming of the light. And then at the end when Jesus seems to have been crucified and they put a giant stone on his grave so he can't get out, they're afraid of him. They put a dead body in a cave and a giant stone. You're going to watch an angel come along and just roll that big stone with one hand. Oh wait, no. We've got some business to do here. And we're going to see Mary Magdalene show up at the cave. And then we're going to see Jesus appear to the apostles in this blazing light. It's probably a good, accurate. This movie is pretty accurate. Angels and Jesus flowing in light, this is like probably exactly how it happened. And that's why people were so afraid. Imagine somebody shows up in your bedroom and they're all lit up. That might give you a little fright. But you can imagine how the people were back in these days 2,000 years ago. He was, it is so transcendent. So sit back, enjoy the day, enjoy the ride. And I will pop in from time to time to give a little inspired commentary to go along with this story that really needs no commentary. But I'll throw a few pieces in there. Then we'll take 10 minute intermission, bathroom break, come back for more, then we'll take a 15 minute lunch break, and then come back here for more. The day is dripping with Jesus. Okay, enjoy yourself.
