 Okay, well hi everybody. Welcome once again to our all day movie workshops. I'm Peter and I'll be your host today. And yeah, I can just describe how the day is going to flow for those who are new. So we're going to start with a movie with David and then afterwards we'll have a 10 minute break. And then we're going to go into our breakout rooms where you can share what came up for you during the movie any emotions. After that we're going to have a 45 minute break. And then I'll be holding the closing session today where if there's anything else that's there to share with the whole group we can do that then. So we can start straight away and I'll pass it over to you David. There we go. We're coming to you live. I'm so happy to see you all see your smiling faces and see your waves and it's fun greeting you from wherever you seem to be in the in the world. We have a beautiful movie today. And there was a lot of prayer time going into today's movie because of the themes that you voted on. It's always interesting to look at the themes that are really on people's minds and let that guide us and point us towards our area of healing. So we've been guided today to to really look at at a movie that is really a key in undoing people pleasing, because oftentimes people pleasing is such a such a familiar way of relating to the world that we don't always see the fear and guilt that's underneath the people pleasing, but it must be that it's there if we are looking to people to provide our safety to people to provide our security. The themes are even blowing off the disabled ego doesn't want us to look at these today but these themes are very important if you're going to be happy. And so we're willing to take a look at whatever we need to take a look at to be free to feel the genuine happiness and freedom. So I will start off as usual by reading the combined poll. This is combined English Spanish and online drive. So we tally them up and then you let us know what it is that you're most interested and most drawn to in terms of healing. The prayer is show us the movie spirit that will help us get at these these themes. So the number one theme, the most votes of anything went to letting go of responsibility for others. And there is a huge amount of guilt that is associated with responsibility for others. There's a section in the course in which Jesus talks about the responsibility for site you are responsible responsible for opening your mind to spiritual vision to the vision of Christ. But in order to do that, you have to realize that your soul responsibility with regard to your personality with regard to your family, friends, all the people that seem to surround you in your daily life. And all the other billions of people on planet Earth are all coming down to one responsibility, which is accept the correction in your mind. It's a, it's a tweak in the mind is one small tweak and Neil Armstrong landed on the moon he put his, his little moon boots down in the moon dust for the first time and then he said the words, one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. And it seemed like a pretty big deal, putting some footprints on the moon, after having stared up at the moon for so many centuries. But what Jesus is saying is we need to, we need to have a tweak in our perception of the world. I was talking about this 2000 years ago, when he said, before you get the spec out of your brother's eye, get the beam or the log out of your own. He was saying, you have to make the correction in your mind. You have to blame or judge your brother or sister, before you tell them off, before you tell them what's wrong with them, before you tell them what they have to do if you're going to, if they're to stay around you, or what what's required of them. And he says, no, you have to come and make that tweak, that little tweak in your own mind and see the world with the Holy Spirit and with Jesus. And that's our sole responsibility. So, big one, letting go of responsibility for others. And people tell me that just seems like just the way things are, that aren't we responsible for, for friends, aren't we responsible for loved ones, aren't we responsible for children, aren't we responsible for our house or our apartment or our car. Aren't we responsible for our bank account. That's what the belief system of the world teaches and Jesus is saying, actually, you have only had one responsibility all along. And that's to find the inner piece of your natural state of mind, which is experienced through the correction or the atonement. And he describes the atonement as the first miracle and the last miracle and all the miracles in between. So, you know, it's, it's complete. It's not like a solution where you find yourself going. What's next, there is nothing next after the correction. The correction is the point of everything. And once you allow your mind to accept the correction, which if some of you are doing the workbook lesson that's lesson 139 of the workbook lessons. I will accept the tongue and for myself. That's that's as straight as it gets right there. Even after 139 lessons, he's not even close to 365 he's cutting to the chase. He, he spills the beans in lesson 139. He says this is really what it's all about. Okay, second theme coming in with a little bit less votes was fear of getting it wrong. This is where you have this kind of creepy suspicion in your mind where you wonder am I am I going to get this. And, and whenever you have this fearful doubt thought am I ever going to get this, then what is really playing out in your mind is fear of getting it wrong fear of getting it wrong in the future. Am I am I going to mess this up. Am I going to really mess this up and and be out on the limb with no way back. Like a cat, who goes climbing a tree and goes way out on the limb, and then seems to require a fireman to come along with a ladder. He had out in a very difficult position, but this is what happens when you have a fear of getting it wrong. And it just gets projected on to the future. Like there could be some horrific outcome that will come from you following the Holy Spirit. And of course the ego is is the one generating this fear of getting it wrong. Number three, how to keep my heart open. That's so beautiful. That's, that's a prayer right there. Every day, every moment of every day just to pray to the Holy Spirit. Please keep my heart open, open to give and open to receive open to be shown. Please show the way keep my heart open. We pray to keep our heart open and we pray for the connection with the Holy Spirit is because when we feel close, we feel shut down. We feel disconnected. We feel just out of sorts. We don't, we don't feel in harmony. And once we feel this egoic sense of fear, then it seems like our heart has closed and we are on a defensive mode. We're just trying not to do something trying not to die. That's not a really fun way to live trying not to die. Because that's very heavy. We're worth more than than the fear of dying. We're worth more than just survival. We're worth more than than avoiding things. You know, it's funny in this world. When you go along and the older you seem to get, it's like the world has lots of advice on what you shouldn't do. Don't get older. Don't do this. Don't do this. You'll be in trouble. Don't do that. Don't do that. And then some point people say, how is this living? If I, if I'm living with fear over my head, if I'm living, you know, afraid to face the next day, how, how exactly is this living is how exactly is this joy. It's not. So that's an important prayer really how to keep my heart open. The next theme is becoming a true healer and miracle worker. And I would say to be a true healer and a miracle worker you, you have to be pretty clueless you have to surrender yourself over to Jesus and Holy Spirit, and say, I really don't have a clue here, but I know that you're in charge. So, thank you for allowing me to be clueless. And, and thank you for doing performing all the miracles Jesus because I haven't a clue how to perform them. And Jesus is like, thank you for allowing me to direct miracles, because I know exactly where they can be bestowed where they can be most helpful. And I honor you and I thank you for your cluelessness and for your devotion. It's when we think we know from our past learning what a miracle worker is. That's when it gets really difficult. And that's where it kind of blows up in our face, because all it is is the ego trying to masquerade as a miracle worker. And if it's based on past learning you can you can know for sure that it's ego trying to slip in there with another self concept. And the last one is receiving 60 votes total Holy Spirit given assignments. Every week now we seem to be reminded by Jesus how important our mighty companions are. You know as I look at all of you on the screen, I have such gratitude and appreciation because it's willingness to start to say I am worthy of the symbols of help. I am worthy of those that are walking side by side that are not content to just play along with the matrix of time and space, but are actually willing to, to pray and go for it you know where that's what the mighty companions are there just a whole group of symbols that are telling us that we are on an inward journey that is most precious and most dear, and it's just a reminder of us, the feeling that we want to experience in this moment. And we see it in each other's faces and we see it in the laughter, and we feel it in the joyful encounters that we have. And we say thank you thank you thank you every time someone reminds us. That we're loved reminds us that we're safe. We just say thank you. That is so helpful to hear that to read that to be reminded of that. Today's movie is called insurgent, and this is part of a trilogy of movies I believe it's a trilogy right there's three of them. There's three. I know, I remember seeing the very first one. What I think it was divergent and divergent. What a beautiful word divergent, because if you think about the ways of the world. A bigger, better, faster, more accumulate, achieve, accomplish, save, protect all of the teachings of the ego are basically about ownership and possession about getting more about accumulating more. More more more, you know that's the game of the world is more, more skills, more abilities, more money, more possessions, more education, you know, more more more. And then there's something inside of our hearts that just starts to go. I don't really think that's the answer. I don't think more is better. In fact, we even have phrases called less is more. We start to hear, hear different phrases and jump out of this, where we're like yeah I like that less is more. We simply wanting to live a simple life just wanting to live a simple, happy, peaceful life that you start to see that that's the meaning that you would go for that's where your goal is that's where your heart is is simple, peaceful, happy. So, in this series, Tris, her official name is Beatrice prior. I like that her last name is prior. That really PR IOR. That's what Christ is Christ is prior to time. I am presence before Abraham was I am. That's prior to time our identity is prior. The first time I've seen a main character of a movie with a last name like prior and tris is short for Beatrice. So tris is is our, our heroine of the dream. She is going to be the one today just like Truman did it for us was our hero of the dream, showing us the way out to leave the dream behind. Just like say Francis was our hero of the dream, showing us way to live a saintly mystical life, living the simple teachings of Jesus Christ today tris is going to be our, our model our example for undoing the ego and undoing the world of time and space. So, in the first movie tris in the divergent movie. We find divergent is is different from the classifications and divisions of the world. She doesn't fit well into a category or a personality set or into a certain box group of people. And she seems to have an ability that is very important and that is called mind training, she has, she has a strong draw into mind training. And she saw in the divergent movie that preceded precedes this movie that she was given a series of tests to test her, her mental strength to test her, her courage to test her, her stamina. She was given a series of simulations and probably the, the most famous one. I think that's the one Anna was referring to one little snippet in the divergent movie is, is when she is seems to be in a simulation where she seems to be trapped in, in a tank of water. And, and the water is rising up rising up in the tank and soon she submerged in the water and then a thought comes to her that was a seed planted in her mind that it's not real. But that's what gets her out of the simulation is that that's what transcends the fear and allows her to escape that particular simulation, where everyone else doesn't escape. And she escapes with the thought is not real and simply touches the glass and then the, the whole tank, the glass in the tank explodes, and she's under no fear of drowning. Well, we have this in a course of miracles we have the, the introduction of a course of miracles. Jesus says, this course could be summarized in the following, nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exist here in lies the peace of God. So he's planting the seed in our mind that can release us from the simulation of this world, this egoic world. It's there, it's there in the introduction, the escape hatch from time and space is in the introduction to a course of miracles. It's at the end of the introduction. Thank you Jesus that's a nice place to put it. Give it to us up front. He puts it in the introduction of all places. And that's the same idea that tris uses and the virgin in the in the first movie divergent to escape the simulation. And in this, in this movie we're going to watch today, which is called insurgent, we pick up with with tris. And this movie really really relates to our five themes. She has her assignment. She has her assignment already. And his name is for and for we're going to even meet for his mother is in this movie. And his mother likes to call him by his birth name Tobias. But basically for is tris is Holy Spirit given assignment that they have, they have met, and they are together. And now they are mighty companions to one another facing all the mind training obstacles, all the fear, all the guilt together in in a journey together side by side. So, we have for who is with tris and, and then we have the environment they seem to be living in which again is this city that is surrounded by a wall, very high wall. And we've seen this kind of scenario in a lot of other movies, the given. We've seen there's like a force field surrounding the main area this is a city that's in some decay, where there are factions there are different groups that have been brought and been really dictated based on personality traits for survival of the group. So the ego is the one that tries to make up a society, make up a world and tell you where you fit into this world and tell you what's acceptable and what's not acceptable. And what would benefit the whole ego will tell you and what is not good for the whole, not good for anyone. It's a system of control it's a system of rules. It's, it's a city of division. And this is great because every movie we watch, we get to see a city of division, a family of division. We see a couple facing divisions, and this faction system is designed by the ego to give a false sense of control and peace, but control of form and peace do not go together. There's a big deception going on when we think that we need to control the world in order to be peaceful. We want the kind of peace that comes from inside of us. It comes from our connection with God from our connection with the Holy Spirit and Jesus, and is not formed dependent, but the ego teaches that you have to construct the world and control the form to keep the peace. And this is why in our world of perception fragmented perception, we have organizations like the Peace Corps, or the United Nations, why we have governments that sometimes want to talk to each other and cooperate, and sometimes they want to fight and defend. But sooner or later, we realize that that this perceptual world of fragmentation is not our home. It doesn't feel natural to be interacting with the world of fragmentation. We're getting dissatisfied in our heart, in our soul, about interacting with the world of fragmentation. And Jesus helps us out. He says, yeah, you will look upon that which you feel within. You, if you have a fragmented mind or a split mind, if you have a fragmented perception, then you will perceive a fragmented world and this will not satisfy you. You will never be content with differences. You will never be content with divisions. You will never be content with separation because God didn't create you to be divided or different or separate. God created you as the Christ to be one, to be forever one, eternally one, and this fragmented world is not satisfying at all. There's nothing natural about fragmentation. And yet, we will start this movie out with a fragmented city of different factions that are sometimes quite suspicious of each other, and sometimes even antagonistic toward one another. Even though the ego's storyline is these factions have been created for peace, to maintain the peace. What we know from Jesus is that it's all a projection. There are no factions. There's no grouping of personalities that will bring peace. It's an equation that will work, and thank heavens that we're told by Jesus it will not work. Now Divergent is one who is not so much into the programming and conditioning of these factions, but is open to something beyond. Divergent is like an inner calling that is taking you beyond separation and beyond fragmentation toward harmony, toward the light. So in one sense, you know, here we are, we're all mighty companions to one another, and we're all Divergent. We don't fit into the world very well. Does anybody have that feeling you don't really fit into the world. So we're in that sense we're Divergent, you know, we don't, if they took a test of us to test where we fit in best, it would probably come out and does not fit in. Somehow is not of this world is misplaced in this world. So some of you didn't get to see the first movie. That's all you need to know from the first thing is, it's about divergence, the title is Divergent, and it's about not sitting in and having a transcendent calling that doesn't fit into the factions and the, the separated concepts of the world. So you didn't miss anything. Triss is now going to put, now we're going to kick it into gear that's shifted into gear for the mind training. Let's, let's take our Divergent calling, which is really our calling out of the world and into the Holy Spirit is happy dream. Let's see how how Triss is going to handle herself and, and how her mighty companion for is going to handle himself in the in the first movie we didn't really. We didn't really see for his mother, but Evelyn is making her presence known. Here comes Evelyn. It's interesting. My mother's name was Evelyn to so Tobias Tobias to mom. It's not for it's it's actually Tobias is the birth name. I think my mother Evelyn to she always would call me David, even though I'm the one. But she didn't go one time for breakfast one. She called me by my birth name. And so does Evelyn call Tobias by his, his birth name. She's not calling him for. You're, you're, you're Tobias, you know, I know who you are. And Evelyn in this movie she's, she's got a real rebellious kind of attitude. She believes that the way to overcome the, this, this crazy faction system is through rebellion. Has anybody tried rebellion. I think I tried that too. I tried rebellion, you know, and it didn't work very well. It didn't work. You know, I, you know, when you try rebellion, you know, usually there's some kind of something harsh comes back at you. You know, there was a Frank Sinatra song, and I'll sing it to you I'll sing you a little bit of it because it Frank Sinatra had a beautiful song my dad used to play this record for me when I was growing up as a kid. That's life. That's life. That's what all the people say, you're riding high in April, shot down in May. But it goes when you try to rebel against the world, you, you usually get shot down at some point, because we don't wake up through rebellion, you know, we tried it. We tried it on our own, but deep inside we've known we'd be back to set things straight. We knew forgiveness was the way, and we tried a few other ways and they didn't work. We were about forgiveness release the world, release the thoughts of time release the thoughts of space, release the judgments release the grievances all the sounds so pretty because it is pretty. It works. It actually works. That's why we're we're on this journey of release. And that means we're willing to release the self concept of what we believe we were the roles we played the concepts we held we're willing to release all of it in order to find peace of mind. We're willing to empty our mind of everything we think we think and think we know, and come with holy empty hands and to our God, like in lesson 189 the workbook. So, Tris has got her mighty companion her partner for or Tobias. And then we have Janine, who is basically, she's the one that runs the matrix world here. She, she, she sends the messages out to all the factions. She's the one who's in charge and control of maintaining the status quo of this factions world. And Evelyn was she and Evelyn have clashed other times I think Evelyn would rather be in Janine's position. This is going to be a female cat fight like you, you've got my you've got the point of power I want the point of power. We know that there is no power in this scheme that we have to release the world to find the power of God. It's not personal power. It's not power over people it's, it's the light in our mind that's powerful. The bottom of heaven is where all power resides, not on earth. It's a joke to think there's power on earth, or powerful people. That's another trick. And, and as we see as we go along, there's some other characters that are that are very important. We find. This is brother will play into this equation. We also see there's a someone who's been part of the divergence for a while. And his name is Peter, and Peter is like the character that likes to play both sides. You never know, you never know where Peter is, you know, Peter's like, I'm with you I'm with you but he's kind of sarcastic, and he kind of pokes tris a lot, and then he can slip pretty easy to go to go help Janine out and maintain the faction world. Tris his brother Caleb, he's a sweetie. Oh, he looks like one of these sweet boys from like over there in Holland or Denmark, you know, tall and sweet in the face and he just looks so adorable he's so meek. He's just adorable and, and in the previous movie, we saw that that Tris his mother and father were both killed. And there was another man named will who was also killed. And so, Tris has a lot of guilt around believing she had some part to play or some responsibility in the death of her mother, and the death of her father, and the death of this man named will. And this is the guilt. She is taking on to herself, the belief that she is the blame or she is the cause of harm coming to loved ones like her mother, her father and this man named will. So this is a good extreme example in this movie of someone who is carrying around a lot of unconscious guilt, because she believes that her actions actually were causative in the death of those that she loves. And this is important to start to really face this belief. Because last week, I was reading from the course, while I was doing the movie gathering and I was talking about the hero of the dream section from chapter 27, and I was talking about the dreamer of the dream which precedes it, the preceding section from chapter 27. And then the dreamer of the dream section Jesus tells us about the correction that we're going for he tells us about the atonement and how to reach it. How to keep your heart open. That's one of our things how do we keep our heart open. Jesus says you are the dreamer of the world of dreams. No other cause does it have or ever will. So he's telling us that if you really want peace. If you really want happiness that will never end. You must give your mind permission to be shown to be taken to the awareness that you are the dreamer of the dream. And then the next section he shows us the opposite. It's called the hero of the dream, where he says, the hero of the dream has all these serial adventures and different situations and events. But the hero of the dream basically is here to teach you one lesson that you are an effect of the world and not its cause. Basically, the belief that your body is just a variation of form of the of the attempt to teach your mind the lesson that you are at the mercy of the world. And it doesn't seem that way if you identify with the body. Don't you seem to be then at the mercy of weather temperature food money. You should be at the mercy of a whole variety of forces that are beyond your control. If you identify with the body. And Jesus is saying that's how the ego set it up. The hero of the dream finds itself in a serial adventure of many events and circumstances. All of them are designed to teach the mind one lesson that you are an effect and not the cause. And Jesus is telling us it's not true. You're the dreamer of this dream. And you're just perceiving this dream from your mind. And you can pull the plug on the dream anytime you want. You you aren't at the mercy of the dream, because you're dreaming it. And if you're dreaming it you must be able to change your mind about it, because the world, the dream world was made in hatred was made by the ego is made by fear. And, and you don't have to continue to hold that purpose you can actually change the purpose for the dream once you admit that you're the dreamer of the dream. Once you admit that this entire historical time space dream is is a dream and that you're dreaming it then you can change your mind for it. As long as you try to play the hero or the heroine, which is what Tris is trying has been trying to do in these movies divergent now an insurgent she's trying to play the hero, but it's not going well, because she feels like she messed up. She messed up she she had something to do with her her father's death her mother's death and this man named will. And she is feel so bad about this that she can't even talk to her holy relationship partner about it. She's, she is stuffing down and keeping in secret. The idea that she is a murderer. And this is the, this is the human condition. All human beings are just outward projections of a deep feeling of I had some deep dark level, I have been the murderer. It's too easy to just point the finger and say, Oh, Hitler was a murderer, not me. It's too easy to point to Saddam Hussein say, Oh, there was, there was a murderer, or to a someone bin Laden. Oh, there was a murderer. It's, it's too easy to point to Joseph Stalin and saying, Ah, murdered millions of people over in Russia. It's too easy. Jesus is like, come on. Snap out of it. Don't keep blaming the tyrants. Don't keep blaming the terrorist. You've got to face the terror in your own mind of believing you separated from your source. Don't blame your spouse. Don't blame your children. Don't blame your government, your president, your prime minister. Don't brain blame the serial killers. Don't go blaming something in the world because you're the dreamer of the dream. You can stop this nonsense anytime you want. But you have to face it. You, you do have to, you have to be able to forgive. And in order to forgive, you have to be able to honestly say I have done this thing and it is this that I would undo. You see, you, you, it's two parts. You don't stay with part one, because you'll feel terrible. I have done this thing. Under stress. She actually believes that she had a hand. She had a causation factor in her mother's death and her father's death and then this man will death. And she is under stress, because she is a part of her mind that believes she's a killer. And Jesus is saying, you are not a killer. I mean, really, I know, I know God and I know the truth and I know you are not. You are not a killer. That is not the way God created you. You, you were not created to kill. You were not created to separate. You were not created to be different than God. You're, you're created in spirit. And if you think you can take on a form and live apart from that light, he said it's a mistake. It's called miscreation. It's a mistake that's already been corrected too. So don't, he's like saying, don't, don't hang on to the mistake. Just give it back. Give it back. Give it over. Just say, I, I give over this mistake that I, I was a murderer. I give over this mistake that I, that I had an ill intent that I could be, have a will apart from God. I give it over. So we will see in this movie that Tris is going to have to face her guilt, and she is going to have to face her private thoughts. And in the end, she's even going to have to face that she's a private mind, because she will have to face. It seems to be a version of herself in order to release that version and forgive herself. All forgiveness is self forgiveness. Even when we believe we're forgiving another, we're just forgiving our mind for that belief in miscreation. Even when we believe we're, we're letting somebody else off the hook, we're letting our mind off the hook. We're actually seeing our mind is still pure. It's still pure. We have not done the thing that we thought we did. We were very, very mistaken. But this morning, and it just was so strong in my mind, like, wow, God is such pure love, and this entire historical time space construct is just one big fat lie. It's, it's the whole thing has been a lie. It's just there in a meditative state to think, wow. I still couldn't change the truth, even with all this effort, all this, all this rebellion, all this energy I put in to trying to build something on my own, build an identity on my own. You know, to think that that our world could be centered around a puppet. That's a lot of energy going into a puppet. And yet that's what our programming is told us you got to feed the puppet, close the puppet, educate the puppet, you've got to proliferate the human race. Procreate with the puppets, make more puppets. Oh my God, what an effort was put into all that, and all for nothing. Much ado about nothing is what Shakespeare called it. Shakespeare really had a way with words. Much ado about nothing. So, here we go. We're on our carpet ride today. We're keeping our hands inside the carpet. We are going to enjoy the ride and we're going to watch Triss go through all of our attempts to be guilty and to, you know, suffer. And to hide our private thoughts, especially from our partner. Oh my gosh, that's a, that's a killer. If any of you ever tried to live in a partnership where you tried to hide your thoughts from the other person. Oh, I talk about a nightmare on Elm Street. That is nightmare on Elm Street right there. That's Freddie Krueger trying to, we don't even need knives and blood. We know it's emotional suffering when you hide, try to hide thoughts from your, your beloved partner. Triss is going to try that too. She's going to try to hide, hide thoughts from, from four, from Tobias. But in the end, none of it works, you know, and we can rejoice with Triss that, that none of it works. And at the end we are willing to forgive. We're willing to, to face, to face anything that we believe about ourselves in order to be free, truly free. So sit back, enjoy the ride today as you see everything I've just spoken about acted out so magnificently in this really amazing healing movie. And enjoy the forgiveness to enjoy when Triss finally gets it that that she's been battling within her own mind. The whole time, and that the purpose of mind training is simply to forgive yourself for what you did not do. That is the healing relief. Forgive yourself for what you did not ever.
