 Star Trek Into Darkness. So tonight's 2 hour and 12 minute movie is going to be just what the title says. This is like going back to the original Star Trek characters with Captain Picard, Captain Kirk and Spock. And who's the Doctor? Bones, Tick-Off. We get to see the young versions of all of them. And also you could say that some of their personality traits that were pretty common in that first year you really get to see the character development because they go back. This is when Kirk hasn't had his first kind of being the Captain. He's still aspiring to do that. And yet they know each other back then. And there's like all kinds of, I think some of all of the major themes we were talking about, loyalty today. There's all kinds of beliefs in friendship and loyalty. And we were talking about no people pleasing because Spock is very logical and is not really in touch with emotions. So he doesn't seem to filter or censor anything around trying to not hurt anybody's feelings. He's just straight out there with everything. And the contrast between that and James Kirk who he's pretty much like, you know, don't worry if you break a few rules. It's more of what you're going for than the concern about breaking rules. So he will cut corners or break rules or stretch the truths they say or bend things and so on and so forth. And he seems to be the much more passionate one at the beginning. And the one who will, you know, stick his neck out or cover for somebody, you know, if it would protect them in some way or whatever. So it's actually, I just think this is a great, among all the great Star Trek, this is really good. I saw it in 3D and I thought it was amazing graphics. And also there's a character in there which they, who seems to be pretty far advanced in their eyes, but they just have this hunch that they can't really trust him, but they don't seem to have any options. So it's one of those things like we just watched the draft day where it was about working through compromise. I think this is another movie of working through compromise. And I think in draft day there was some pretty good striking contrast, but nothing like this. I mean, Spock and Kirk, as far as two main characters in a series, they're kind of at opposite ends of personality. So it creates some really fantastic dynamics at trying to get at what's real and what's true underneath the duality, the perceived duality and everything. So it's quite an adventure. Is everyone buckled in? Jessica's going to put her seatbelt on. And you've got the remote, right? Okay. Great. I hope you've caught those lines at the end to the purpose to remember who we once were and who we must be. That was, you know, that's the whole purpose. And then right before that, there was a talk about, it was really aiming at the forgiveness about while we're sleeping, really not getting into destroying those that seem to mean as harm. That's for the temptation of the world, the temptation to perceive somebody's attacking us. And really they aren't. It's just the attack thoughts in the mind make it seem like there are people and people that are attacking other people. It's just a giant projection of attack, which really is the underlying belief that you can attack God is not in awareness at all. So all people perceive are the wars and all the dramas of people physically and psychologically seeming to attack each other every day, which is what the news is filled with every day. But it's not showing what's really gone on in the mind. It's just protecting this attack thought that you could pull your mind away from God. So that was really a pretty profound kind of line too. We could even run it back to get the exact line. It came right before the remembering who we once were and who we must be and the thing, but it was really that it was like not, he's giving his talk, you know, his speech, but it was like just the best you can not give into the temptation. And it fits with that movie that we saw yesterday about Days of Future Pest where they're so tempted to react to what they perceive as this attack and defense thing even when they have to come back into the past back in the 1973, they go there and pretty much the Charles character, the one played by Patrick Stewart is saying, I'm not the man that you know me as now. I didn't have my powers back then and I'm just not the one. He had a lot of seeming pain and hurt about losing his leg, the use of his legs and about the character that, I don't know what her name was, Jennifer Lawrence played Lumethe that was kind of blue. He had a lot of misgivings because he felt that she had kind of left him and gone with Magneto, whatever that character was. So there was all these grievances just festering and all this immaturity and then sent back into all that, which is what we could call Planet Earth now, this is 1973. Because the mind is so tempted to give in to the beliefs that someone can be hurt and then the beliefs that something has to be protected, something has to be defended. And now that's in this seeming parable of David, that's what kept arising and arising and arising all the time is this idea of protectionism or wanting to defend something or wanting to see something in a certain way. I loved it in this movie and also in Days of Future Past where there's this sense of even the ones that seem to be lost, the ones that seem to turn away, I love it in this movie how Kirk makes a decision to just let Scotty go. Scotty's like a very valued member of the crew and he's got to make a decision to just say them go and to point check off. So that's one of his own, his own family he had to let go of. And then it's kind of interesting that just when he's needed most, Scotty's drunk and having his conversation with his little mate, the funny looking thing and so he's got to come back, he gives him the coordinates, he has to say what's the third number, he's pretty far gone. But he's never lost, he's never out of the picture. And I think the same thing was in that Days of Future Past where it seemed like that certain characters were kind of spinning out like the Magneto character and Jennifer Lawrence, yep she was spinning out. And during our time we've had different ones that seemed to spin out in different ways but to not lose focus of the purpose, like the purpose is to remember who we were and who we must be, the Christ. That's like the main thing underneath it all, regardless of how things seem to play in form, to not get caught and to interpreting the form in any way. So really it's don't interpret anyone staying or leaving or spinning out or staying true and all these different temptations are really just temptations to misperceive, to make it seem personal, to make it seem not the moment, which is just that it's all simultaneous. And that's what I liked about Days of Future Past, it seems like the Jennifer Lawrence character finally had to let go of the grievance that was all centered on her letting go of the grievance so that there really is no future, that's just a projection of the past. But as long as you hold on to the grievance then it seems like the past isn't the past. It seems like it's still active, it's still happening. And there's still an impetus to try to change it, to fix somebody, to control something, to defend something, you know that's where the temptation comes in. Instead of just to see it as it is, completely whole, you know it's no problem whatsoever, like there's never been a problem in the field, in forgiveness, there's never, there's no problems. That's why when we had that question yesterday, you know, if guilt is hell what is its opposite? And we kind of started going through, it couldn't be innocence because innocence doesn't have an opposite. And in that sense metaphorically, you might say that the opposite of hell, which is distorted perception is healed perception, which is what forgiveness is. It's an illusion too, but it's a necessary acceptance of an illusion that is the healing illusion. You can't go from distorted perception back into reality because it's too big of a leap. It's just too far, it's too much. There has to be something in the middle, even if it's an illusion, it doesn't matter. It has to lead you away from the rest. And that's the forgiveness. That's what the whole focus is on, the miracle, forgiveness, and of course the Atonement is the ultimate of forgiveness, the first miracle, the last miracle, and all the miracles in between. It's really, it's the forgiven world, it's the happy dream. It's the real world that Jesus talks about. It's the healed world. It's the world that's unified. It's simultaneous. That's what heals. If the problem is linear time, the solution must be simultaneity. If it had to be, there couldn't be any other solution. It's still got the time idea, simultaneous time. It's just everything seemingly is happening at once. But that's a more accurate description. That's a forgiveness description of time. But the ego tries to make it linear. And that's something that all the great teachers in Saints and Mystics have taught. It's something we are focusing on and emphasizing in all of our teachings, it will become more and more the central teaching that the time is simultaneous. If there's really, the past is gone, the future is but imagined, total escape from the past, total lack of an interest in the future. This idea of the trick of cause and effect, which there's been so many teachings that have come through on reversing cause and effect, but actually coming to start to see that there is no cause and effect in this world. And that's what the ego is most resistant to. It'll be all kind of intellectual defenses, all kind of that's not practical, that's too big of a leap and whatever, but that's actually what this is about. I had some old teachings on that and I remember Jeffrey Lake on time. I think I did one called reversing cause and effect, which is just a step towards seeing that there really is no cause and effect in linear time. And he said he played that tape or that session over like six or seven times before he could even start to the resistance to recognizing that is enormous because it's so simple. It's like it wipes out every conceivable problem in terms of the way the ego makes it because the ego made up separate cause and effect, that there's causes in time and there's effects in time, whether it's around the body or the world or economics or science or any way that's all part of a giant scheme to keep in place this idea that there are causes in time and then effects that follow. So this happens, then that happens. And that even down to physics, for every action there's a reaction. That's not true either. That's Newtonian. We were talking about Jessica landing. Isaac didn't No, don't tell me. No, that's like getting to the most core. He says you know that it's all simultaneous. We can do a nice little animation on that. Just because everyone seemingly on the planet, most everyone has been raised with Newtonian and it's the quantum that's been around for like going on six decades and still it's not catching on after six decades. It's that much resistance. We're still teaching in a lot of classrooms they'll probably teach Newtonian and then they'll put some paragraphs, a little dab of quantum at the end because it's like the rebel science but it's still like Newtonian and Newtonian. We're more exposed to quantum because it's a reflection of where our mind's at but it's quite amazing. Quantum supply runs. Going to, like Joe was saying, feeling a little guilt going into the pantry and getting offered all that food that's quantum too. It used to be the days of St. Francis they'd be out there hacking away most of the day trying to harvest grains so they could make some bread or working for others who were doing it hoping that they would get throwing some bread. Now we go to the pantry and it's like oh, it gets huge. That's quantum. You're not earning a living. You're not earning anything. Neither do you have to start to put your mind into trying to think about earning a living. How rare that is, how quantum that is to be free from that. That seems to be so pervasive that it seems like there's millions and millions of people acting out that trick and just trusting. Whether you seem to have no money or no debts or whether Jessica's had to have the faith even in the face of seeming debts. Quantum is quantum physics baby. Love radiates undefined. That song is like a theme song. In the face of whatever it is, again they had to do in this movie. They had to really keep the faith. There's one danger after the next. That's of course how the ego keeps the mind trapped by throwing it out as if there's linear time dangers. The only so-called danger to peace of mind is believing in linearity. That's dangerous to peace of mind. Not in reality but in terms of waking up and sleeping it's like you don't want to hold on to that belief because then you'll just have nightmares. Whether it's your daytime dreams or your nighttime dreams there's going to be characters in there where you seem to be a character and there seem to be other characters and those other characters don't mean you well. It can be shocking. You might get some really good teaching dreams in there but then the occasional one will come in of betrayal or abandonment or rejection. Kind of like that movie that Mel Gibson was in. Braveheart. Where he goes all the way to the end and everybody gets it and he's got this one that he has so much faith that he can trust. When that character turns out to be the betrayal character then as you see it in his face his heart seems to be crushed. That's what gets enacted out in so-called romantic love relationships because there's a sense of you and me against the world that there's somehow a partner that's going to be the one that's going to stay true and then it's shocking. It's like a little shock to the system when that partner doesn't seem to expectation with anything including like with a partner where I think of that movie, I remember seeing Braveheart and you follow that movie and it's like the Mel Gibson character keeps the faith and then boom when this character turns out to be untrue or un-honorable or betrayal and so on and so forth and it's like it seems to crush his state of mind but those are just one of those things of another temptation. All that is is another temptation to believe in linear time. It's nothing more than that. It's just a misinterpretation to believe things in a linear way. Just a total misinterpretation. It has no validity or reality whatsoever and yet everything in this world that's the baseline. Mom and Dad and society and whatever sports and all the things are valued as really important, like family. It's not seen as totally impossible not that it's bad but it's just absolutely impossible that there could ever be a linear family. It's absolutely possible that there could be a linear country. When everybody likes the John Lennon song, imagine there's no country nothing to kill or die for, a brotherhood of men, you could feel the heart chords going and really imagine there's no country or even imagine there's no heaven. People would put that in there and they would say oh I wish he'd left that out. Heaven is not part of the imagination and if you try to imagine country or heaven or partnership or anything and you talk with the imagination that's linear it's not that it's bad, it's not that it's wrong we might say it's wrong-minded, it's a misinterpretation but what does wrong-minded mean except in the end impossible? Wrong doesn't mean wrong as we thought of it, it just means impossible, it's just absolutely impossible Jesus says time and eternity cannot coexist and you might even take one more step and say simultaneous time and linear time cannot coexist. One is an accurate perception and one is a misperception and even though they're both illusions, neither have anything to do with eternity, simultaneous time or linear time it's the simultaneous time that's closer, it's in closer alignment and when it says God will take the final step in the course God doesn't take steps, God doesn't, oneness doesn't take steps humans maybe believing they're waking up can seem to take steps but God does not, it says that in the course God will take the final step, all that's doing is putting it in again in human terms but what the meaning of that is God will take the final step really is that creation just simply is we say God is and we cease to speak, that's what creation is, it just is what it is, in fact it has no opposite, it's just eternity, it's just pure spirit but it's beyond the curriculum so that's why our focus is always on forgiveness or atonement or simultaneous time and even for movies like this one or they's a future past it's kind of cute that an adventure, they're sent on an adventure to go back to the past to find the forgiveness to make the correction and then when they do seem to do it, the whole crazy dark world just completely, basically the characters disappeared from it, it was kind of neutralized it wasn't like it looked, it just basically the characters all were gone and so I wouldn't say you could look for forgiveness in the past but you can allow the Holy Spirit to take you into an experience of simultaneous time, you cannot wake yourself Jesus says but you can allow the Holy Spirit to wake you and that's just allow your mind just had that be your desire, just had that be your single focus, your single purpose to experience simultaneous time and put faith in nothing else like it be very single minded to have that singularity of that one purpose just to experience simultaneous time and nothing else matters you can literally laugh at everything else from simultaneous in linear time it's more of like it's a little bit of distorted humor, you're laughing but underneath it's like you're crying yeah it's not really full blown Holy Spirit humor simultaneous humor, that we could do, that's why it was funny when we were talking about Jessica going back to like Newton and Copernicus because it was what was being taught, the simultaneous that is the funny part and it's even funny the thought that someone could resist you know resist simultaneous, why do we laugh at that? because that's what's happening with everything whenever anything happens it seems to be serious, it's not serious really nothing is serious that's a quote we'll put that on Facebook nothing is serious or what's the one that you put in your mix, you literally are your brother you're not your brother's keeper you are your brother, that was from Blue Mountains or that part in the I Need You Nothing section where Jesus says your way will be different instead of like long periods of tedious time consuming meditation contemplation, a holy relationship is given you as your means of saving time and salvation, then he goes on to describe what a holy relationship is, you and your brother are together, that's his explanation of holy relationship, it's just saying time is simultaneous, he could have just as well said time is simultaneous but he said it in terms of his course framework, you and your brother are together that's not that you're not forgiving somebody else it's like you're releasing the belief that there are people, that you're a person, that they're people that's what's simultaneous about it, how could persons exist in simultaneous time if all the images are all there together and always have been, then there's really nothing fragmenting or breaking apart and multiplicity has no meaning no meaning, there could be duality has no meaning but certainly in multiplicity has absolutely no meaning and if there's no multiplicity and there's no linear time then what does the word more mean remember that part in the Beyond All Idol section Jesus starts it off with what is an idol, do you think you know an idol is for more of something it does not matter more of what, in simultaneous time there is no more, no more and now we keep talking about that Psalm, the 23rd Psalm, the Psalm of David the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want where does wanting arise in linear time, but if everything is simultaneous what could wanting mean what would wanting even mean or wanting more, what would that concept even mean in simultaneous time, more of what, if everything is simultaneous it's a sneaky device that's so valued in linear, more bigger, better, more, new improved brand new, you know that's what all the marketing is in terms of the product placement, the Truman Show, more, more, more, more it's a future, really because more is never now linear time yeah, the gateway to love is through it's not through more, years ago Kim Carnes did a song more love and more joy and space and time could ever destroy but still it's not, it doesn't make any sense more love, more joy what could that even mean, you see how tricky tricky, tricky, tricky, tricky it was an interesting, Jackie showed us I don't know why she showed us one of Kim's Carnes videos about duality and non-duality and Lisa was talking about you know, the world doesn't change, like it still seems to be chaotic and like messy, that's what she called it and for me, I didn't actually, until I heard that I didn't realize that I had that like fantasy of, oh yeah, you know this path, while opening up my mind, this is going to get better and it's not going to be messy anymore that was really important for me to watch that and actually have that disillusion with that because it was always about, always going to be better it's going to be smooth, everything's going to be, you know, it was still about the form being in a certain way and that was also that linear time thing I didn't actually realize how stressful that concept still was to hold on to that still better, yeah yeah, it's going to be better I'm doing this work so it'll get better, yeah, what a trick yeah, because it was, I didn't actually realize it until a few days later we watched it and I was like, oh she's great, this is cool she's so much like fun to watch and like join in her mind and then it was like, there was a slight feeling of, I couldn't quite understand what I was feeling it was just like, something in there I didn't like and then I realized a few days later that concept of, oh, that dream is not going to come true fantasy isn't going to happen maybe yeah, like smooth is an interpretation and smooth you could say it could be the Holy Spirit's interpretation if it's harmonious and easy and everything but that doesn't dictate and define form it's quite the opposite, it's like when you go into everything flowing be in the flow, the capital flow, things going smoothly that's all a very, very, very, very high interpretation of, it's all simultaneous but there's no things aren't ever going to get better, that always sounds so funny on earth but that's presuming that things are the way that they aren't, the very mentality that says better, it's a song, it's pure bliss it doesn't get better than this, it doesn't get better than this if you really open your heart up to what this is then you can actually sing that song, it's pure bliss it doesn't get better than this, this being the present moment, this being simultaneous time this, it doesn't get better than this there is no better, because there is no more, there's nothing else but simultaneous and that's what you can feel it more like with Lisa Cairns, you can feel the vibe there's a joyful, playful, laughing, happy vibe that comes from that and it's not understandable to linear time linear time goes, it's a bit suspicious of that joy or that happiness or that laughter, it's a bit suspicious it will try to, linear time is always trying to dispel that joy and happiness, cover it over go back on emphasizing the past and the future and covering over the present moment almost like that's not real reasonable because it's actually a state that goes beyond the opposites Lisa was saying that her teacher, her teacher slash boyfriend Roger you know, he was very articulate and he seemed to always have the right words and could describe things and yet the only way to feel and be and experience it is to see the absolute possibility of linear time, there's not a way that then everything falls apart the idea of intellectual, what does that even mean in simultaneous time, or the head versus the heart people say don't live in your head, live in your heart, what is that? there isn't a head and a heart in simultaneous time, in the present moment those are artificial constructs or in that state of mind it doesn't oppose anything so there's not a making wrong with anything so somebody could say whatever it wouldn't be like an energy of making wrong it would be just a joy, oftentimes it's just a watching there's nothing to say or do it's just that presence is so strong and that's the answer right there that state of mind, it's not, there aren't any intellectual answers and really there aren't any conceptual answers at all which makes it fun, once you just have that experience that there are no conceptual answers to anything, you can have so much fun, you could have Stephen Hawking's all of this and that, some of this was recent things, I was reading recently somebody said that he definitively came out, oh it was in that God's Not Dead movie where basically, I guess Stephen Hawking's highly, highly, highly respected astrophysicist was basically, was dispelling the notion of God and saying that using gravity is an example that gravity invented itself and then the guy who's in God's Not Dead just started to point out through different philosophers that that's just circular reasoning saying something came into being because it created itself and that was like the reasoning, that was like the core defense and it's like, that's the exact thing that we're being shown that you can create yourself and that you can't get something from nothing but that ultimately spirit is everything and spirit is creative and so everything is spirit and like Mary Baker Eddy said, there's no mind in matter, there's no life, truth, substance, intelligence in matter, all she was really saying is there's no spirit in linear time so we don't have to have sacred sites and sacred avatars and sacred people and this and this because there is no spirit in linear time and all those things are of linear time, now simultaneously time that's as close as it gets to spirit, that's not even spirit but what a joyful, happy, loving, peaceful perspective that time is simultaneous that's everything, this happy little presence within you that's to everything of linearity because it's not so not because it's wrong because it's not so that's the Holy Spirit's humor it doesn't condone anything or make anything wrong it's because of what it is I don't know if it's helpful or if I'm skipping steps but if I remind myself I'm dreaming I do that and it seems to just pull me back I guess if I go on all I feel it feels like a restful place, like if I'm in a crowded area or a tension it's building around me and I'm just like I'm dreaming it feels good and I can relax and I actually feel that that is the Holy Spirit the Holy Spirit is so placeful in my mind that there's this sense of how we like jingles and music so much that the Holy Spirit will do that very thing but for me now it's always like in a song and that's the very direct way like I'll just be there I'll just be started to be serenaded by the Holy Spirit dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream it's the beginning of a very very very famous song but there's so much joy behind that and it's all we got one word really in it being like a checkout line little girls are singing little girls are singing that will help you check out that little song will check you out time and space really quick I just put it together all these folks they're doing this because it's their passion they're not making a bank account this is like their dream to explore and I mean they're explorers I mean that's what we're doing food pantry spirit supporting us and inspiration it's all collapsing into that one experience I just saw it yesterday I think that they had these two writers and they were reminiscing with these two Star Trek two guys because these two writers were writers for Star Trek Next Generation and all of the data and all of them were very famous it was the first generation which Captain Kirk and Spock and Sulu and all of these and then there was the next generation and then of course Deep Space Nine and it continued on but they got to the point where they were going to do a finale a season finale and the end of the Star Trek Next Generation series years of absolute magnificent stuff that JP and Jason have been pulling from all these great great great episodes and making many movies and mind meld and well we've got so many of them if you just watched them they're just amazing tools but they got to the final episode and the producers said okay well we're going to have a final episode but it's not going to be an hour we're going to wrap it all up all those seasons of Next Generation with a two hour season finale and you're going to write the two hour season finale it's got to be good it's got to be real good because we're ending this next generation I think it was like six or seven years it was on no pressure but you know you've got to write these two guys a season finale and they said it was spectacular but not only did that happen but that was the time on these Star Trek movies like the one we watched was coming along and they said oh and by the way we want you to write this the next Star Trek movie and they were given that task simultaneously to write this the finale for the next generation and a whole new Star Trek movie and they did it these guys had their picture I guess it was like yesterday was the anniversary of the end of the next generation so they were reminiscing and they had not even viewed that last episode of all these years it was so they were so in the moment doing it writing a whole movie and doing that and then but then it was just I'd say it was channeled and that's what we're doing here we're literally every single day and every single moment where this is channeling spirit and it may seem to be around what the world judges is mundane things like going to a pantry around or strapping up something moving supplies we call them quantum supply runs you know those are everything the whole universe is right there in that simultaneous it's the feeling the experience of the supply run where you're just in the joy of it it's not a task being done for somebody else or for the future or whatever it's like everything is right there that's your Star Trek movie today
