 Welcome to our all-day movie workshop. Great to see you again. So I'm Peter, I'll be the host today. And as always, I'll just run through the flow of the day for those who are new. So we have the movie with David to start off with. And then we're going to go to a 10 minute break. We'll have our breakout rooms then for you to express any emotions or any thing that came up during the movie. Then we'll have 45 minutes as a break and then we'll go into our closing session with our Q&A with me. So I'll pass it over to you now, David. Okay, thank you, Peter. Hi, everyone, welcome. Here we go again, down the rabbit hole. The rabbit hole of joy as we let things that we have believed in, we let them go. We let the thoughts that we have thought about this world, we let them go. We let go of everything in the past that we think we've done right or wrong. We let it go further and further from things that we believe we did into the bright light of the kingdom of heaven that radiates through us as us, the Christ mind fully illuminated. That's our inheritance. That's our destiny. Wow, that's everything. Why would we give a care or a thought for anything else when the kingdom of heaven is at hand? It's very, very close. So today, I'm very grateful to show you again, one of our classics. For me, that's the excitement. Sometimes I pray and people suggest a lot of different movies for me, but the classics always have the inside track. They're always, if it was like a roller derby there in front on the inside track, leading the pack. The other ones try to get in there, but the classics, they're timeless. They're timeless, amazing, amazing movies. Some of these movies I have seen, you wouldn't even want to know how many times I've watched these movies. You would laugh if you heard how many times I've seen these movies. They're mind washers, they're mind rinsers. They're power washers. It's like going through a car wash and except you go through like 45 times. And so you're really rinsed. You're soaked up, you're sudsed and you're rinsed good, your mind is. So as usual, I never know what's coming, but I do love when we put out these themes and you vote for the themes. So that's our cue. That's our cue for Jesus. Like, hey, okay, Jesus, this is what's on the mind right now. So here's our themes for this week. Coming in number one by a lot, by 10 votes was allowing all unfinished business to be healed. Don't you like that way that's worded? Unfinished business. And what could the unfinished business be except unconscious beliefs that we're still hiding from the light? People ask me about reincarnation. I say, well, what seems to be a lifetime in form, it really seems to go a long time in the egos. For most of us, we think of our lives as being pretty lengthy, not like necessarily a short story, but one time Helen Shuckman was flying with Jesus and they were looking over all the earth and the lifetimes and everything and they almost missed Helen Shuckman's entire life because it was just a blip. What we think of as a whole entire life in the time-space dimension is a fraction of a second. It's the tiniest blip. If you could just see your entire lifespan between birth and death as this tiny, minuscule little blip, then you would know what Shakespeare meant when he said much ado about nothing. He would think, why did I have such a struggle and so much suffer over that blip? I really, what a joke to think I got all bent out of shape and all upset and emotional and suffering over a blip, over a tiny blip, but we also know that the ego is a little puff of nothingness. So it shouldn't surprise us that it's world and it's so-called physical lifetimes are blips too. You get a blip from a blip and you get eternity from eternity. You get the kingdom of heaven from God. So that's our first one, allowing all unfinished business to be healed. Coming in number two, letting go of judgment by seeing, I cannot judge. Not that you have judged and you have a terrible bad habit of judging and you have to figure out how to stop this runaway freight train of judgment, but just having a moment of realization that I cannot judge. God did not create you, me, anyone with the ability to judge. That's not a creative aspect of spirit. Judgment is not part of spirit. And Jesus says that judgment was invented by the ego after the separation belief. So judgment came after the separation beliefs. It doesn't have anything to do with God. That's why when you've been raised Christian and you're so concerned about God's final judgment, well, actually God doesn't even know what judgment means. God is I am presence, just pure love. God doesn't understand judgment, but judgment was made as a device to try to bring some sense of order into chaos because the separation, the fall from grace was pure chaos, insanity, and then the ego invented judgment to bring a semblance of order. That's why we have prisons. That's why we have rules and regulations. Maybe some of the things you don't like about the earth are there's too many rules and regulations. Well, God really has nothing to do with the rules and regulations. God is just pure business, pure love, but the ego invented judgment and that's where all the rules and regulations come in. And of course, people will say, well, that's why we have prisons because you can't have criminals running all over the place. You can't have murders running around in society. And the belief is without rules and laws, all would be chaos. Actually, Jesus begs to differ. He says, no, no, without judgment, all is love. See, it's a little different interpretation about judgment. Without judgment, all is love. And the ego says, no, you need rules because it would be total chaos and I'm giving you a gift of judgment to bring some semblance of order into your chaos. The only thing the ego doesn't tell you is that by giving you this gift of judgment that you can't know who you are and you can't know God when you believe in this artificial gift and it doesn't really serve. It just serves to minimize fear without letting it go, which is what the ego does. It always offers gifts to minimize fear, guilt upset without letting it go. In other words, here's a gift so you can stay guilty, stay fearful, stay shameful, but it's a softer version. It's more deluded. It's not all at once. It's just spread out over lots of time. So you just feel generally upset but not horrifically upset. You see, that's the gift. Oh, thank you. Thank you for that gift, ego. That's just great. Now I can have minimized pain, minimize fear and guilt. Sorry, that's not good enough for us. We're the Christ and it's about time we free ourselves from every little scrap of fear and guilt. Okay, what do we got next here? Choosing to trust my brothers beyond all doubt thoughts. Wow, that is an invitation to a healed relationship. That is an invitation to holy relationship. That's an invitation to true empathy. Choosing to trust my brothers beyond all doubt thoughts. So even when the doubt thoughts come up, you can go back to that Course in Miracles workbook lesson. I trust my brothers who are one with me. And he's saying basically he's drawing us to the Holy Spirit. He's not saying that you have to trust the bodies of your brothers and sisters because the bodies are part of fragmented distorted perception. And that's why people don't trust their brothers and sisters because they got too many past memories of what these bodies said, did, behaved. You know, it's, they're like, I know people who get to that lesson in the workbook, I trust my brothers who are one with me. It's like people say, oh please Jesus, not this one. You know, just tell me to trust God, that's all right. Tell me to trust the Holy Spirit, that's all right. Tell me to trust you, Jesus, I'm okay with that even. But don't, please don't give me the lesson. I trust my brothers who are one with me. If you knew what they did, you wouldn't trust them either. And Jesus is like, forgive them for they've known out what they do. Basically now we're getting a modern day translations. Forgive them because they really aren't bodies. That's a projection of the ego. That's a projection of your own unconscious grievances that made those bodies. God didn't create those bodies. Why would you hold anything against those bodies when God created everyone in spirit and pure love? And now you're just beholding projections and holding grievances against the projections. That's why the ego projected the world out. So you would blame somebody and you would always think you had a good reason to be mad and a good reason to be guilty and good reason to be upset. There is no good reason to be upset. It's basically just a part of a misperception. Okay, next one. Wow, good, good themes. Make my invulnerability manifest. And only way you can do that is you can make your spirit manifest. What I mean by that is let the spirit come through you, smile through you, laugh through you, hug through you, sing through you, dance through you. That's the way to make your strength, your spirit, your light manifest is by expressing it. And you might as well just enjoy it because it's a brief, I told you it's a blip anyway. Wouldn't you rather have a happy blip by expressing the light instead of a sad blip where you're just destined to repeat another blip? You're going for another blip if you have a sad life, if you have a boring life, if you have an angry life, a guilty life, you're just saying, give me another blip. I'm gonna try another blip. We don't need another blip. So we wanna make my invulnerability manifest. The best workbook lesson for that is I am the light of the world. That's a good one. I am the light of the world. Salvation comes through me. The salvation of the world comes through me. The next one, the last one is how to consistently focus on giving as the way out. Sometimes I like the words play on words. I'm kind of like Bill Thudford. I do like the play on words. So let's look at the word forgiveness. And then if we shorten it a little bit, forgiving, forgiving my brother, forgiving my sister, and then let's just shorten for giving. I was created for giving. I am going to wake up from this dream by giving. What's number seven of the 10 characteristics of a teacher of God? Generosity, that's what giving is, is true generosity. The teacher of God does not want anything. He cannot give away what he wanted for. He could only lose because of it. So whenever we get into the getting mode, what am I going to get for Christmas? What am I going to get for my birthday? What am I going to get for my anniversary? Those really are not the questions we should be asking. What am I going to give for Christmas? What am I going to give for my birthday? What am I going to give for my anniversary? The ego has created a world where we feel so bad that now we're happy with trinkets as gifts. When we really could be giving our storehouse of miracles we have loaded up in our mind, we could be giving them away. We settled for trinkets, trinkets. It's like little things that we call gifts that are really, they're forgetting. And when we use the trinkets for getting then we are forgetting God. We are forgetting God by getting into the getting motive. We are really falling asleep and having amnesia and forgetting the presence of God. God can only be known now. I saw that line in the course this morning. It was a short sentence, but I like it. It said, the sentence was, God loves you now, period. Don't you like the simplicity of it? God loves you now, period. God doesn't love you in the future and God doesn't love you in the past. God loves you now. So wow, you picked a really good set of themes for this week. And when I prayed on the movie for this particular set, Jesus was just, he was smiling, he was like, oh yeah, we need, yeah, the only way to go at all of those themes at once is through a relationship movie. His course is a relationship course and you need a classic relationship movie to really blow the lid off of the ego. And that's what we're gonna do today. We're gonna blow the lid off the ego. This is a power washer session. We're gonna use the power washer. We're not gonna use the spray. This is not for spray. This is the power washer time. So because this is such a classic relationship movie, I just wanna remind everybody that there are many traditional pathways to reach God and they all work. And that could involve long hours of prayer, many, many hours of meditation. It could involve service like Mother Teresa talked about service in the East. I believe it's called SIVA. It could involve devotional mantras, particular breathing techniques. It could involve repetition of prayers like mantras or prayers. But actually Jesus has already told us in the course, he says, your way will be different, not in terms of content of course because forgiveness is the same curriculum we all have. We don't get a choice of picking the curriculum. We're here to forgive. That is the curriculum. It doesn't matter what culture you live in, what language you speak or what ethnicity or philosophy you believe in, forgiveness is the gateway back to the kingdom of heaven or nirvana. But actually what Jesus says is your way will be different. A holy relationship is given you as a means of saving time. And he's not talking about just saving time personally. He's saying, you're gonna save time for the whole universe. As you slip past this belief in linear time, you're going to do this for the whole universe. You're taking all your brothers and sisters with you. What a great task. That's like a Holy Spirit version of the hero, not the body, but the mind that decides, I'm gonna put an end to this deception and I'm actually gonna forgive and accept the Atonement and wake up and join God and all my creations in heaven. That's no small thing. You've picked the biggest goal you could ever pick in your life. In any seeming lifetime, this is the biggest goal. So this morning, I had somebody ask a question and they tagged me on Facebook and they were saying, the Course is teaching that the body is not the temple of the Holy Spirit, but a relationship is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Could you help me out here? I'm trying to talk to somebody about this and I'm, so I did make a little reference from the Course. So I'm gonna start off with that today just before we launch into our movie. It's basically from chapter 20 and basically it says the Holy Spirit's temple is not a body, but a relationship. The body is an isolated speck of darkness, a hidden secret room, a tiny spot of senseless misery, a meaningless enclosure carefully protected, yet hiding nothing. Wow, it's more than saying that the Holy Spirit's temple is not a body. He doesn't have anything really good to say about the body and the rest of the senses. Basically, he goes on to say in that same section, the Holy Spirit does not build his temples where love can never be. Would he who sees the face of Christ choose as his home the only place in all the universe where it cannot be seen? So the body is the only place in all the universe where the face of Christ cannot be seen. So you saw the promo at the beginning where I was saying, we need to forgive the Easter story. Well, we even need to forgive the face of Jesus. I mean, the Jewish historical face, the beard and the hair, everything, because the body is not the temple of the Holy Spirit. In fact, some people say, well, the Bible says the word was made flesh and Jesus clarifies that in his texts. He said, strictly speaking the word, capital W word, which is the Christ, the I am as God created me presence cannot be made flesh because you can't translate one order of reality into another, which he's saying, you can't translate spirit into matter because the body is part of the veil that was made to cover the light. So you can't bring the light into the darkness even Jesus was just a representation, a symbol. Right now, who you are is the Christ right now. That's the whole point of the realization. That's where the joy is. That's where the happiness is. I am as God created me now in this moment. And then Jesus is a good symbol or demonstration in terms of perception because he spoke words and we still love the words that came through the mouth of Jesus. We still are inspired by the scripture I call the red letters in the Bible. But Jesus is saying, and the Holy Spirit is saying, no, no, it's the Holy Spirit's temple is not a body. Now I know some of you are pretty wide red and study and you say, well, wait a minute, what about the Kamasutra? What about Tantra? Aren't there any ways that the body can become the temple of the Holy Spirit? No, I'm giving the answer. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You do not reach God through the body. The body is a device, a learning device for your mind that you can use. You can really let the Holy Spirit use it to speak through it and you can use the body to go beyond the body. But you cannot make the body into the temple of the Holy Spirit. So so much for spiritualizing matter. No, no, no, all attempts, no matter where they are in all history to spiritualize the body, spiritualize matter to make the body holy, to make the body sacred. Even our avatars, you know, some of you, I know if I go in your back room who's on the wall? Krishna, Mehir Baba, Jesus, Ramana Maharshi, Paramahansa Yogananda, St. Francis, Mother Teresa, you take me back into your secret altar room and I'm like, listen, it's not in the bodies. The bodies were just symbols of a great idea that's prior to time and space and that great idea is sacred. God is sacred. Love is sacred. Spirit is sacred, but we're gonna pop a few bubbles today by saying no, the body is not the temple of the Holy Spirit and the body cannot be the temple of the Holy Spirit because the body is form and the spirit is eternal love and light. So another thing we can say is, this one I really like the way that it ends, in his function as interpreter of what you made, the Holy Spirit uses special relationships which you have chosen to support the ego as learning experiences that point to truth. Under his teaching, under the Holy Spirit's teaching, every relationship becomes a lesson in love. Every relationship with your postal carrier, with your meter reader, if you still get a newspaper in this day and age, it's pretty rare. Your newspaper boy, girl delivery, every relationship becomes a lesson in love because you are gonna give a new purpose to the relationship in your mind and this new purpose is so different from anything that you've ever experienced. In fact, it's so different. He says everyone on earth has formed special relationships and although this is not so in heaven, the Holy Spirit knows how to bring a touch of heaven to them here. In the holy instant, no one is special for your personal needs intrude on no one to make your brothers seem different. Without the values from the past, you would see them all the same and like yourselves. And basically he goes on to say that under the Holy Spirit's teaching, every relationship is a total commitment. I know sometimes when you even consider something like volunteering or marrying somebody, you go, ooh, that's a big commitment. Cold feet, cold feet, ooh, that's tough. Listen, that's just getting married for the blip. If you've got cold feet of getting married for the blip, what about eternity? Let's talk eternity here, you know. So what Jesus is saying under the Holy Spirit's teaching, every relationship is a total commitment. It's not a hierarchy of commitment. You don't have less of a commitment to your newspaper deliverer supposing as if you've got a newspaper anymore. Nobody does. Okay, that's an old metaphor. Let's say when you go to buy groceries, the person that checks you out at the grocery store, maybe that's better, you have the same commitment to that grocery store checkout person as you do to everyone else on the planet, including Vladimir Putin. Let's not leave Putin out of this. He's a good symbol now, the grocery store clerk and Vladimir Putin, total commitment to both. Why? Because you're here to forgive them all. You're here to overlook the body and see the spirit. You're here to see with the vision of Christ. That's really the only thing this is all about, Christ's vision. It's the only thing worth going for. I really wouldn't advise anything else. People are writing to me, David, what should I do about Bitcoin? Have you invested in Bitcoin yet? And I'm just laughing and going, oh, my Christ vision is the only thing worth investing in. I'm not interested in cryptocurrencies. That seems a little crypto creepy to me. But I'm into the vision of Christ. So basically the other thing I should mention is that this is a world of perception and perception is selective. So when you think to yourself, I'm gonna love that person today, you have to have the same love that you would give to everything and every one that you would give to that person. You don't want to make them a substitute for eternal love because you'll just generate a dependency and nobody likes a feeling of dependency in a relationship. So basically Jesus says, any relationship you would substitute for another has not been offered to the Holy Spirit for His use. So I'll say that again, any relationship you would substitute for another has not been offered to the Holy Spirit for its use. I mean, I remember growing up, people would say, well, you don't wanna steal somebody else's relationship but you just have to wait till they get out of that relationship and then you can get them on the rebound. That sounds like a basketball game. What do you mean? You mean you get people on the rebound like a ball that comes off the rim. You gotta grab the rebound, like grab them while they're available. They're married, they're married, clank. The ball comes off the rim. Grab that rebound, you know. Jesus is saying, now that's a substitution. You're just, if you think you can substitute one love for another love, if you think you can substitute one relationship for another relationship, you're not offering the relationships to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit doesn't understand this rebound stuff. The Holy Spirit doesn't understand the availability. If you think you wanna be in a relationship with someone but they're not available, you should really ask the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is like, I'm here, I'm available. I'm available right now, you don't have to wait for me and I'll give you a whole different purpose for relationships and I'll give you a whole different purpose for looking at this world and the world won't even look the same and it's gonna turn into a happy dream but you can't really substitute one relationship for another. There is no substitute for love. If you would attempt to substitute one aspect of love for another, you have placed less value on one and more on the other. You have not only separated them but you have also judged against both. Yet you had judged against yourself first or you would never have imagined that you needed your brothers as they were not. Unless you had first seen yourself, had seen yourself as without love, you could not have judged them so like you in lack. So basically that's what this world is. A mind sees itself as a body or person and says, oh, I'm lacking. I want to be in love, I've waited so long. God, when are you gonna send me my soulmate? I'm not gonna make it if I don't have my soulmate. I can't stand this world without a soulmate. And Jesus is saying, oh, come on now. You're seeing yourself as lacking and now you're looking for another lacking one. So you think that two lackings make a whole. Bring two lacks together and you get a whole. Jesus is like, no, no, no, that's not it. It's basically, it's like John Bradshaw, the family therapist said, most people believe that they're one half and they're looking for their other half and that if they bring their half together with the other half, then they'll have a whole. And then John Bradshaw said, no, it's a multiplication equation. One half times one half equals one fourth. You feel even worse if you believe in that equation. You feel like a fourth of a self, a quarter of yourself. You're not a whole self when you find another half. If you believe in halves, you're headed for a very deep sense of unworthiness because it's never gonna work. The trick never works. So Jesus then says, this is the last thing I'll say before I take us into the movie. It is impossible to use one relationship at the expense of another and not to suffer guilt. And it is equally impossible to condemn part of a relationship and find peace within it. Under the Holy Spirit's teaching, all relationships are seen as total commitments and yet they do not conflict with one another in any way. Perfect faith in each one for its ability to satisfy you completely arises only from perfect faith in yourself. And this you cannot have while guilt remains. And there will be guilt as long as you accept the possibility and cherish it that you can make a brother into what he is not because you would have him so. What it means is you're the light, your brothers are the light, your sisters are the light but if you hold them to a role of this world and a conception and a definition as a body, you cannot know the wholeness of love and you miss who they really are. You've just believed in an appearance even though God knows not form and God didn't create the form, you believed in a form appearance as reality. And then you wonder why do I have grievances because the reality is really spirit behind the parents. That's who everyone is the spirit. God created us the spirit. That which is born of the flesh is flesh. It's an illusion. That which is born of the spirit is spirit. That's the reality. So we need a movie today. We're like saying, come on Jesus. Wow, we've been hanging in heaven difficulty with these interpersonal relationships and we need a way to transcend our physical perception and see the light. We need to see the light if we're gonna be truly happy for eternity. And what Jesus is saying is, well, this is the fast track. Don't go live necessarily in a cave or hide yourself away and live in a hole in the ground. It's not the bodies that are the temptation. It's the meaning that you give to the bodies. That is the problem. And so Jesus would rather have us face bodies every day. He loves to use interpersonal relationships because there's so much mirroring that goes on. I know we have thought at times, I want to be alone. I'm gonna be a hermit. I'm gonna really find God. I'm gonna be the best hermit in history. And I'm gonna find God. And God's like, well, hermitages can be helpful but you don't need to make your whole world into a hermitage. You can start to realize that whatever meaning you've given to the bodies is your unfinished business. And so if you've got bodies reflecting things to you all day, you're getting a reflection of your unfinished business which is what you need actually. You need to have it brought to awareness. So Jesus is taking what the ego made as the greatest trap. The ego was sneaky little puff of nothing thinking, I'm just gonna invent a world with lots of bodies and I'm gonna make some bodies very alluring and some of them really ugly but and some of them in between grayer but I'm gonna make it so that the bodies can be used as a distraction from going within and seeing the light. You see, I'm gonna put false meaning onto these. He even tells us that sometimes you try to value certain parts even better than other parts. Here it is. The ego's use of relationship is so fragmented that it frequently goes even further. One part of one aspect suits its purposes while it prefers different parts of another aspect. Thus does it assemble reality to its own capricious liking offering for your seeking a picture whose likeness does not exist. So the ego makes a fragmented world and then it says, here you are. You've come down to see my world now. This is the world I've given you in place of God but the ego says God kicked you out so better make the best of this one. Now, what do you like here? Do you like that lollipop over there? Do you like that little sparkler there? Which bodies do you like the best and which parts of which bodies do you like the best? And let's just make a composite here of that. I saw there was a movie on Netflix where this woman, she has to always be dating five guys because there's no single guy that can give her everything that she wants. So she's got a minimum of fives going all the time. So she can take from each, one has the money, one has the good looks, one has the intellect, one has the beautiful heart. You see, she's like keeping five relationships going so she can be satisfied. And that's kind of an example of how the ego made this world. So that's why people will say, well, I like this about this. I have a spouse and I like these things about my spouse but here's what I don't like about my spouse, this and this and this. And then I have to go find it somewhere else in the world. I wanna get all the characteristics and this is how the ego made the world. It says just piece together a personality identity and a personal world where you get to pull it together and make yourself any way you want to be. That's why it values money because it says you can play a bigger level of the game. Well, there's no levels of this game. They're all dark. I mean, you don't ever advance in darkness. You know, the more money you get and the more choices you seem to have, the more you're sunk into the ego's world and you believe you're gliding down the highway but in the words of Simon and Garfunkel, in fact, you're slip sliding away. You are not going to find God by making multiple choices in this world and thinking the more choices you have, the better. That's the wrong direction. That's the capricious ego's making. So what we have today is we have the answer presented in the form of a movie, a relationship movie. This movie is one of the all time classics. If you've not seen it before, you will probably see it again after this one. It's called Ira and Abby from 2006. Ira is very intellectual. He's a doctorate candidate but he can't seem to finish his doctoral degree. And Ira is kind of, well, if we put some ego adjectives to it, he's kind of, he's a bit narcissistic. He's impetuous, he's impulsive. He has a lot of doubt. He has a lot of fear. He has a lot of uncertainty. And he loves blaming the world. He loves blaming other people for all of his misery. He is a perfect symbol for the Holy Spirit and Jesus to use because he doesn't really feel safe as a person. He's very, very insecure. He's extremely insecure. And he's been in therapy. He's had the same therapist. There's Ken over there in Spain, Kenneth Clifford. He's had that therapy. He's had that years of therapy. Ken and I know how that goes. And the therapist just listens to him and he goes in and goes on and on about what's wrong with his life, who harmed him, who did him wrong, how miserable he is. And he's paying the therapist to listen to his misery. And the therapist is taking the money. He's doing kind of the rosary and unconditional positive regard. I hope. And anyway, I was just going on and on until finally we're gonna see the beginning of the movie. He's gonna go in and spew all of his stuff to the therapist. And the therapist is saying, listen, this is not working. You are stuck and you need something different. Get out of here. The therapist fires the patient. Like, hey, listen, you need to change your tune. You're stuck in some old dark funeral dirge here as your self-concept and you need to find something else. So you need to change. So out the door you go. And then, so he's even more depressed now. He hasn't finished his doctorate. His parents are pressuring him. When are you gonna date somebody? When are you gonna finish your doctorate? Typical parent expectations. And then he's going to go to a health club. And in this health club, he's going to see a sign in the window, a poster in the window that ask him the question, what are you waiting for? Okay. So this is the Holy Spirit. He's going to go to a health club and he's going to see what are you waiting for? And it's the Holy Spirit saying, enough with therapy, enough with this dark funeral dirge of thoughts, what are you waiting for? And in the health club, he's going to meet Abby. Now, Abby is, I'll say she's intuitive. She's caring. She's open-minded. She's trusting. Isn't that fantastic? That as soon as you've been dumped by your therapist, the Holy Spirit takes you and shows you the sign, what are you waiting for? And introduces the contrast that he's been needing. He needs a contrast experience. He needs a contrast experience. And so Abby is sent in and both of them are sent together, put together for the Holy Spirit's healing purpose. And I have to say, as far as relationship movies go, this is one of the best I've seen. People being brought together by the Holy Spirit for healing purposes. And yet it's going to bring up a lot of unfinished business. And every single interpersonal relationship, the reason there's so much unfinished business is because of the belief in the body. I mean, if you have a very, very weak investment in the body and it's very peripheral to you, like it's not, there's nothing highlighting to you in the entire cosmos of images. There's nothing highlighting about the body. It's quite easy to slip into the Holy relationship when you devalue the body. But generally in this world, the body has given a lot of value. It's seen as who we are. It's seen as our identity. It's seen as our home. It's seen as something that when we open our eyes in the morning, it's there waiting for us. Usually, unless you have a mystical experience and it's not there, there's no eyeballs there if you go into the light. But in general, the body is seen as quite important. And that's why interpersonal relationships are seen as quite important. And for most people, they say, David, I can't even imagine a relationship without bodies. And I said, yeah, Jesus doesn't want you to try. He knows that you're imagining a whole world of time and space and bodies are just an aspect of that entire, you're imagining stars. You're imagining black holes. You're imagining oceans and mountains. And bodies are just part of that whole picture. No big deal. But what he's saying is under the Holy spirit's use, you're going to start to feel urges and prompts and nudges inside to collaborate. And we all know that I think we've had a taste of collaborations. I love collaborations. I love collaborating with my brothers and sisters. I've been doing it for like 30 years, three decades. And I have to say after three decades, I love it even more now than I did when I started. I love collaborations because everybody gains through the collaborations. We're doing this for the whole. We're doing something for the whole. I see Lucy Ricks there. She put together a book of parables that we're getting, we're trying to get it into print copy now too. It's such a beautiful book. We've got an e-book and a PDF. Oh, let's make a book. So I was just a couple of days ago, I was like collaborating with somebody from Pakistan to help format Lucy's book into a print thing. Like this guy from Pakistan and I were like, yeah, yeah, yeah, let's do it. Oh yeah, yeah, what about this? What size do you want? So for me, I'm into collaborations that bless the whole. That's my joy, you know? And in terms of trying to shrink perception down into just an interpersonal relationship, to me it has to have a purpose behind it. We have to make a, what's the Bible say? Make a joyful noise unto the Lord. That's what my collaborations are about. I'm trying to make a joyful noise unto the Lord. I'm trying to make a joyful noise so loud that it somehow reaches God. And God is like feeling the little joy streamer that I'm sending with my little collaborations. God gets a little tickle. What was that? From the joy, you know, the collaborations of joy. So in this movie, we're gonna see that the Holy Spirit's gonna bring together Ira and Abby and it is purely for healing. We are going to see the ways that the Holy Spirit uses it and then we're gonna see the ways Ego tries to reclaim it, tries to take it back for darkness, for guilt and shame and fear. And that's what my commentary will be about today. Let's notice where they really trust and they really go for it. And let's also notice where the ego tries to creep back in and grab the relationship and pull it back into darkness. Because this is what we're talking about in daily life. This is what we go through every day. We need Ira and Abby to help show us this, make it clear for us so we can really see what the real purpose is. So I'm so glad to be with you. I'm thrilled that we can go into this relationship movie with Jesus and the Holy Spirit. And I think you're gonna love it. I think this is gonna be on your classics list after today if it wasn't already. I'll pop in soon.
